Dust - ダスト

A warrior and a member of the party consisting of [Rin](https://anilist.co/character/240105/Rin), [Keith](https://anilist.co/character/136043/Keith), and [Taylor](https://anilist.co/character/242932/Taylor). He is a major supporting character in the main KonoSuba series, as well as the protagonist of the Limelight spinoff series alongside [Rin](https://anilist.co/character/240105/Rin). Dust is rumored to be one of the strongest adventurers in Axel, to the point where he could become a highly accomplished individual if not for his lazy personality. However, he appears to actively hide his true abilities, handicapping himself by using a longsword rather than a spear, his preferred weapon of choice. ~!In the Limelight spinoff series, Dust is revealed to be a formerly renowned knight born of lower-ranking nobility. Having been banished and stripped of his status after helping the princess [Leonor](https://anilist.co/character/340950/Leonor) avoid her wedding, he became a delinquent adventurer, joining [Taylor](https://anilist.co/character/242932/Taylor)'s party and quickly becoming close with [Rin](https://anilist.co/character/240105/Rin) due to her striking resemblance of [Leonor](https://anilist.co/character/340950/Leonor). Promising the princess to do so, he only makes use of his full abilities when those he cares about are at stake.!~
