Personality:To put Dustin's personality bluntly, he's a people person. Overly cheerful, he's as friendly as someone can be saving the world. He is the "comic book geek" of the Wind Rangers, and was a fan of previous Rangers, who were considered urban legend, visible when they are first given morphers and he is the first to morph and (in turn) show Shane and Tori how to morph. He is somewhat naive and gullible as he has been used by one of Lothor's nieces Marah, but still retains his good natured outlook on life. Dustin has a bit of sympathy for Marah as they are both over looked by their colleagues and consider stupid by the others. Dustin actually will try to cheer up anyone down in the dumps, even if that person happens to be an enemy. He is very close to fellow Rangers Tori and Shane, having been childhood friends with both of them. Despite this, others tend to look down on him being a complete goofball and even a fool as stated by the Rangers' enemy Lothor. Dustin takes everything in stride however, and very few things bother him for very long. What he lacks in perspective or smarts, he makes up for it in heart. Dustin believes that most people are generally good and trustworthy, even if their previous actions might have you look otherwise he feels that there's good in almost everyone.
However if his trust is betrayed, Dustin has a tendancy to second guess himself particularly if his friends tend to doubt him. He also is very close to his father Jake, claiming that he taught him everything he knows about racing and motorcross. He also doesn't see anything wrong with using his own powers with helping non-Ranger friends such as his boss Kelly when they are in trouble. He firmly believes that his greatest ninja skill is his instinct. His bad side tends to rub off on the fact that he can be too trusting, which can backfire on him. He also likely has a problem with people never taking him seriously, but at his heart he's a kind hearted person who just tries to do the right thing.
Strengths/Weaknesses: His strengths include:
Being a friendly and outgoing person
Polite and always believing in others
Very loyal to his friends
Extremely brave in the face of danger.
His weaknesses include:
Being too trusting, particularly those who would use his trust to hurt him and his friends
Tends to act more by instinct rather than with his head
Hates being being considered a goofball.

Samples
First Person Sample: Okay, dudes this is really weird. This is no morpher, but at least I can talk to people on this thing. Hi, everyone! I'm Dustin. I hate to bug you guys but can someone tell me how I got here? The last thing I remember was that I was back at the Academy and I'm here... With this weird bud thing...
Budew!
Sorry little dudette.
So if anyone can help out, it would be appreciated. Man, I really miss Cam at a time like this. He'd know what to do here. It's weird being without Shane and Tori and everyone else. Without Sensei, it feels weird.
Third Person Sample:
It had been only a few minutes since Dustin had woken up in New Bark Town, and already he was getting antsy. He hadn't seen anyone he recognized in the town: no Shane, Tori, Cam, Hunter or Blake. Not even any of the Dino Thunder Rangers. He was sure Cam or Tommy would have known what to do, but Dustin was pretty much lost. Though he wasn't exactly by himself though. A small bud-like creature followed him after he had accidentally pushed a button on a small red and white ball, out she came out. And once out she wouldn't stop following him...
So they decided to explore the area to see what was hidden. Dustin didn't want to go too far in case someone needed help, and Budew was hesitant to leave Dustin's side anyway. She was forceful like that. “Hey little dudette. See anyone?” Budew shrugged sadly as best she was able to, seeing as she didn’t have shoulders. “Hey it's okay! Maybe my buds just went ahead. This place kind of reminds me of a game I used to play when I was a kid.” Almost immediately, Budew's mood perked up.
“That's the way!” Dustin gave a small smile to Budew, who returned said smile. The pair were two of a kind it looked like. “You know... You kind of remind me of my one friend: Marah. How about it? Would you like me to call you that, instead?” Budew answered by somehow jumping onto Dustin's dirty blonde head. “Well, that settles that. Let's see if anyone can help us out, okay Marah?” Marah squealed in delight. Though they might have looked downright strange to outsiders, Dustin ignored any looks towards him and Marah. After all, sometimes you just had to trust people.
