Pineclaw

Appearance
Pineclaw is a dark brown tabby tom with yellow eyes. He is large, with slicked back fur, a spiky butt, layered neck fur, asymmetrical markings, a spread-out nose bridge, a mustache, and long, thick legs. He is described as brutish, in both appearance and personality.

Personality
Pineclaw is described as brutish in both appearance and personality. He harshly disciplined his son, Pine, when the kitten made a fuss about having to leave the nursery when Rainfall took it for herself. After Blueriver did her best to keep Pine quiet and out of trouble, Pineclaw believed his discipline had worked.

Pre-Series
Pineclaw was a renegade before he was brought to River Colony by Frozenpool as a mate for his daughter, Blueriver. The two didn't court and held no romantic feelings towards each other. Pineclaw was made into an envoy and he and Blueriver had three kittens: two toms, Pine and Snow, and a molly; Umber.

When Rainfall decided to take the current River Colony nursery and make it her own den, Pine was very upset and loud about it. Pineclaw disciplined Pine harshly for his outburst, which only made Pine more upset. Blueriver did her best to keep Pine out of trouble and quiet until they could move back to their own den again, making Pineclaw satisfied for the time being, believing his discipline had worked.

Synopsis
Despite making his official debut in the first chapter of Shifting Roots, Pineclaw has no prominent role or speaking lines. He is seen standing in front of the Colony Seconds, facing the crowd of cats, and doesn't seem to have any reaction to the announcements being made by the Colony Captains.

Blueriver
Pineclaw is in an arranged relationship with his mate, Blueriver. The two never courted, as Frozenpool picked Pineclaw, a renegade at the time, to become Blueriver's mate.

Pine
When Rainfall chose to move to the nursery, Pine made a large fuss, causing Pineclaw to discipline Pine harshly. After Blueriver did her best to keep Pine quiet, Pineclaw was satisfied for the time being, believing his discipline had worked. Pine was likely named after Pineclaw.
