Pine n'Ardak-Ipops

Pine Jaden n'Ardak, often just called Pine, is a 34-year old Feles, currently living in Lennox. He is a builder, miner, weaver and an active citizen of Lennox's capital, Dragoonia. He is also a citizen of the UBSR, but mostly prioritizes on Lennox.

Childhood
Pine was born into a middle-class farmer family in Greenstem, to Narrn and Tia n'Ardak, before the Leythe-Akratian War and the banishment of the Feles people. He had only one brother, Leo, which was rare among Feles people, that often had a litter of at least 3 kits. Pine was very scrawny, unlike his brother, who was quite stocky and muscular, but he was good in handiwork and very dexterous. He also showed interest in painting and weaving.

His childhood was quite laid-back and carefree, living in an old, inherited farmhouse, helping his parents with their farm. He was raised a Garfist, even though he never really understood the true meaning of the religion, and mostly thought of it as a bunch of made-up stories.

The banishment of the Feles people
When Pine was around 11, The Akratians attacked the city of Greenstem and threatened to burn it down, claiming that it was in their land. The Feles had to quickly take their belongings and start making their way to whatever place would accept them. Along with most of the other Feles, Pine and his family started heading far north, to a fairly new nation called Bardonia, which was recruiting new members. However, not even halfway through, while traveling through Theios-Essukdal (current Yimmu-Audal), their wagon was attacked by bandits. They took all their belongings and Tia, Leo and Narrn to be sold as slaves. Pine, though, as he was very skinny, was deemed unworthy to do work and was sadistically tied to the trunk of a tree to be eaten by wolves.

Pine watched as his family was thrown into a cart and the bandits rode off to the horizon. However, the rope they had used seemed old and cheap. Pine began to gnaw on it

Personality
Younger Pine was described as playful, laid-back, carefree and a joke cracker, but after losing everything he ever had during the fall of Certaria he turned more serious and paranoid. He still is quite trustworthy and empathic, and tries to appreciate the small nice things in his life. He is trustworthy and tries to please his friends, loved ones and leaders as much as he can.

Appearance
Pine is a tall, slender male Feles with dark brown eyes. He has thick, dark mint fur with a white patches, belly and tailtip. He has a lot of fur especially around his ears and cheeks.

He's usually seen wearing his iconic poncho, that his mother made to him on their final days together. It's worn out and covered in dried stains, but Pine refuses to stop wearing it, as it's one of the few things that remind him of his mother. He often has bandage wrapped around his feet to act as shoes.

When traveling, he's always wearing a leather belt, with a bag of coins and a bottle of water on it. On the backside he keeps his trusty emerald blade, The Void's Fang.

The Void's Fang
The Void's Fang is a emerald scimitar enchanted with Unbreaking III and Sharpness III. Pine received it after sacrificing a block of emeralds and a music disc to Tenebris. He has never actually used it, except for cutting bamboo and cobwebs, as he usually just flees if attacked.
