Pine

Appearance
Pine is a dark brown tabby tom with yellow eyes. He is rather scruffy and thick-furred, with pointed cheekbones, a mohawk of fur on his head, and large ears that have large tufts on the ends. His cheek fur swoops out sideways. He has a cream muzzle, eyelids, chest, belly, and left forepaw.

Personality
Pine seems to be an emotional, sensitive, and dramatic young kitten. He was very open and loud about his dismay when he and his siblings were forced to leave the nursery, and when punished for his outburst, he only became more upset instead of calming down. On the official River Colony height chart, he looks timid and jumpy.

Pre-Series
Pine was born to Blueriver and Pineclaw of River Colony alongside his brother, Snow, and his sister, Umber. He was likely named by and after his father. His 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, Pine was devastated to have to lose his nest, and he threw a fit about it. The keepers and kittens had to sleep in the rangers' den for a few nights while the rangers hastily made them a new nursery - and Pine was not happy with the change at all. He cried loudly and made a scene. Pineclaw, enraged at the shameful behavior, disciplined him harshly for his outburst, but only succeeded in making it worse. Blueriver managed to calm him down and keep him quiet until they were able to move into the new nursery.

Synopsis
At the time of Shifting Roots: Chapter 1, Pine was only two moons old. He was not mentioned or seen during the chapter.

Pineclaw
Pineclaw is Pine’s father, and he is most likely named after him. Pineclaw seems to be very harsh with his kittens and wants to control their behavior. When Pine embarrassed Pineclaw with his fuss, Pineclaw “disciplined him harshly” and upset him even further, only stopping once Blueriver intervened. Pine is probably afraid of his father, or at the very least does not like him much.

Blueriver
Blueriver is Pine’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. Pine probably has a good relationship with her.

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