Pinestar/Main article

Pinestar is a reddish-brown tom with green eyes.

Pinestar was a ThunderClan leader, the father of Tigerstar, who stepped down from leadership to become a kittypet. He was born to Oakstar and Sweetbriar, and was expected to become leader from a young age. However, Pinestar held a deep curiosity about kittypets, especially after being saved by a kittypet named Crystal. He later befriended two other kittypets: Jake and Shanty. When StarClan began urging Pinestar to kill his son, Tigerkit, Pinestar coped by roaming Twolegplace. After Shanty's death, he decided to leave ThunderClan to become a kittypet, and was succeeded by his deputy, Sunfall.
