Umber

Appearance
Umber is a light brown tabby molly with sharp yellow eyes. Her stripes are dark and thick, with a slight grey tinge to them, and she has several paler, tannish markings. Her fur is long and wispy, her tail is fluffy, and she has tufts on the ends of her triangular ears. She has a long, blunt muzzle and a tiny reddish nose.

Personality
Umber is a serious and intense kitten. Not much is known about her personality, but on River Colony’s official height chart, she is shown as looking ill-tempered but still thoughtful.

Pre-Series
Umber was born to Blueriver and Pineclaw of River Colony alongside her brothers, Pine and Snow. Her parents had a tense, loveless, and pre-arranged relationship, with Pineclaw dominating the family and keeping them submissive and within their boundaries.

When Rainfall decided on short notice to take the nursery and make it her own den, Umber, the keepers, and the other kittens had to sleep in the rangers' den for a few nights while the rangers hastily made them a new nursery. It is unknown how Umber felt about this, but she stayed quiet when Pine made a scene about it.

Synopsis
At the time of Shifting Roots: Chapter 1, Umber was two months old. She was not seen or mentioned during the chapter.

Pineclaw
Pineclaw is Umber’s father. He seems to be very harsh with his kittens and wants to control their behavior. When they embarrass or disappoint him, he is said to “discipline them harshly”, and if it does not work straight away, he tends to keep going until Blueriver intervenes. Umber is probably afraid of her father, or at the very least does not like him much.

Blueriver
Blueriver is Umber’s mother. She was forced into her relationship with Pineclaw and had not wanted kittens in the first place, but even so, she loves them fiercely. When Pineclaw gets too rough with them, she does her best to settle everyone down and keep things under control. Umber probably has a good relationship with her.

Pine and Snow
Snow and Pine are Umber’s brothers. Not much is known on her relationship with them.

Trivia
