Dust was born in a small disorganized pack of about 6 wolves, including herself. The pack lived on the border of the grasslands and the forest. The alpha wasn’t very good at disciplining her pack however, and fights broke out often. Despite this, Dust remained loyal to her pack, although she preferred to spend her time scouting and exploring, staying away from the bickering wolves. As time went on, Dusts pack broke apart. Some wolves decided to live in the grasslands, while others moved to the forest. Dust knew both biomes better than anyone else, she could probably navigate through both of them with her eyes shut. She had scouted enough to know that both options would make a nice place to live. The problem was, which biome should she live in? Luckily, she didn’t have to make the decision herself. One of her packmates, Birch, approached her and asked if she would accompany her to the forest.
“I want to live in the woods, but I’ve only ever hunted in the grasslands. I need your expertise and experience if I’m to survive there” Birch said
Birch and Dust weren’t exactly “close”, but Dust figured she may as well accompany her. There was safety in numbers after all. Dust and Birch spent quite some time living in the woods on their own, just the two of them, but when they stumbled upon Storm and Valka- two wolves aspiring to start a pack- they couldn’t decline. Dust and Birch became the first wolves to join the Yosemite pack.
Today, Dust is still a scout. Even though the Yosemite pack doesn’t fight like her old one, she still prefers to explore and have time to herself. Dust is the highest ranking wolf in the pack. (next to Valka and Storm ofc)
