“Monsters aren't just born, our mother once told us. They are slowly created, formed like clay pottery, watered with callous memories and mixed with cruel claws. They are hardened with lies and false ideals, then painted with blood of young victims. And she was right. Remember the day mom died? We had no contact with our father, our mother was all we had. And just like that, she was taken from us. We were both devastated, but I was also enraged. Why did mom have to die? She was so young. But I still had you and Rusty. Oh sweet, kind hearted Rusty. He was my other half, my light in the dark. Whenever I look at that disgusting human cub that Hailstorm insists on keeping, I’m reminded of that day. Those poachers shot him on sight. They took my love away from me. That human had it coming, I don’t regret what I did that night, killing that poacher in front of his family. His mate and cubs were lucky I didn’t kill them too. Yet something was born in the pride’s eyes that day. It was fear, fear of what had become of the sweet little cub that had arrived with her mother and sister all those years ago. So now I feel there are two types of monsters- those that are created slowly, ruined with malice like me. And others that are born, with hatred hidden in their veins like those poachers.” -Dusty to her sister Moonbeam
Dusty joined the pride with her mother, Sunset and her sister, Moonbeam when she and her sister were just 3 months old. She was known for being cheerful and friendly. In addition to her mother and sister, she is also got very close to a male loin cub named Rusty, with whom she fell in love. After the unexpected death of her mother, Dusty became full of angst. However her misfortune didn’t stop there. On a patrol Rusty found a pentacle wristband and tried to get it for Dusty. He succeeded, but was shot down by a poacher, killing him. The young lioness now wears the gift to remember her lost love. But she was still filled with rage. And one night she snuck out and found the poacher that shot Rusty. The young lioness lunged at the poor man who was only armed with a pocket knife that he stabbed in Dusty’s left eye, blinding it. The enraged lioness bit down hard on the man’s neck killing him right in front of his wife and children. She keeps his ribs as a trophy. To this very day she hates humans with a passion One day when she was pregnant with her firstborn cub, Hailstorm rescued a human child named Tomoya she tried to attack him but managed to stop herself after the cub stood in front of Tomoya. Hailstorm has a scar on her cheek from the blow she took in the process. Moonbeam will stop at nothing to help her sister but she is not alone, unbeknownst to them the spirit of Rusty is keeping a watchful eye over his beloved mate. One day she heard her niece, Junko scream. The worried lioness ran to find her beloved sister struggling to get out of a poacher’s trap while failing to comfort the crying Junko. Then a group of poachers, one of whom had a gun. And among them was the wife of the poacher who killed Rusty. This was a attempt of revenge! Enraged, Dusty leapt onto the one with the gun and grabbed the gun and throw it away. She then killed the poachers one by one, but not before being burned with a torch by the wife. In pain, Dusty made the final blow, killing the poacher’s wife. After freeing her sister with the help of Junko the 3 lionesses walked home. Not knowing that one poacher had gotten away. This wouldn’t be the end of their troubles. Dusty’s second litter was a litter of 3 cubs. A son named, Mauve and two daughters named Rusty the 2nd and Undyne. While Undyne is a primal, Dusty’s favorite child is very clearly Rusty the 2nd. The cub looks so much like her namesake. However she loved both dearly. And she proved that to them both when she and Diana protected Undyne, Rusty the Second, Junko, Junko’s Daughter, Moonbeam, Mettaton, Papy, Ballora, Daffodil, and Sakura from the poachers. Tomoya rode on Hailstorm’s back to get help but Dusty was fatally wounded. She died surrounded by her friends and family. And was reunited with her mother and mate. And her sister joined her not too long after.
