Because Firestar was a kittypet.
Dustpelt disliked Firestar initially because he was an outsider and felt that he didn't belong in ThunderClan. Dustpelt also felt threatened by Firestar's growing influence and leadership in the Clan.
dustpelt was sandstorms friend when they were young, but there friendship faded when sand storm fell in love with firestar. Dustpelt is dark brown.
yes. sandstorm was close friends with dustpelt for the first two books and regarded firepaw/fireheart
Well, she fought in the battle against BloodClan, and she and Firestar got even closer. She also made up with Dustpelt because then he had Fernpaw-later Ferncloud-and Firestar was clan leader.
I belive he did, although maybe not as much as Firestar ended up loving her. If you remember, when Sand"paw" (at the time) started to feel fond of Firepaw, Dustpelt started getting moody or grumpy, giving Firepaw sideways looks and glaring at him when she layed down beside Firepaw. "Firepaw dragged him self to his nest, barley able to stand. He colsped in his bed of leaves. His eyes wanderd for a moment. Sandpaw opened one eye and stood quietly. She stumbled carefully and layed beside Firepaw where she closed her eyes. Dustpaw glared at Firepaw, staring sadley at Sandpaw and curled himself into a ball on the cold winter night." So, i suspect he loved her, but don't feel bad. He's had plenty of healthy kits with Ferncloud! :) THEY HAD 9 I THINK
It's possible, as Dustpelt had feelings for Sandstorm before Firestar arrived. However, the course of their relationship would have been different without Firestar's influence on ThunderClan dynamics.
Up to Fading Echoes, he is not dead. But he is beginning to get elderly.
Bluestar had two apprentices throughout the "Warriors" series: Fireheart (later Firestar) and Dustpaw (later Dustpelt).
In Into the Wild Firestar comes in as Firepaw and Sandstorm(paw) hates him. She teases him with her friend Dustpelt(paw). When Firestar becomes a warrior Sandstorm hates him more because he becomes a warrior before she did. When she becomes a warrior she shows Firestar(heart) respect and falls in love with him. When Dustpelt still shows no respect for Firestar(heart) Sandstorm turns her back on him. Sandstorm becomes jealous when she remembers that Firestar had a love for the young Starclan medicine cat, Spottedleaf. He still loves Spottedleaf and she loves him back but she doesn't mate with him because she doesn't want to break the warrior code. In Firestar's Quest the two Thunderclan cats mate and have their kits Leafkit and Squirrelkit. Spottedleaf also tells Sandstorm their relationship and Sandstorm doesn't worry anymore.
Firestar chose Brackenfur as Tawnypelt's mentor because he believed that Sandstorm's loyalty to ThunderClan would be more beneficial for their clan, rather than having her train a cat from ShadowClan who may potentially be a spy. Additionally, Brackenfur had proven himself to be a strong and loyal warrior who could mentor Tawnypelt effectively.
Yes, Dustpelt is a darkbrown tabby.
Ivypaw hates Dovepaw because Firestar listens to her and Dovepaw is singled out like a super warrior.
Yes. Toadstep is Dustpelt's Grandson. Toadstep's father is Spiderleg, and Spiderleg is the son of Dustpelt.
