Oakstar and Sweetbriar

 * Pinestar loved his parents, and his parents were proud of him.

Leopardfoot and Tigerkit

 * Pinestar actually didn’t have much in the way of a relationship with Leopardfoot, and it came as a surprise to him when his kits were born. The only one that survived, Tigerkit, unsettled him, because Doestar had recently told him that the kit had the power to destroy ThunderClan. After Tigerkit’s birth, more StarClan cats warned of his destiny, and even told Pinestar to kill the kit, which Pinestar couldn’t bring himself to do. He instead avoided his mate and only son, and Leopardfoot grew to resent him for it.

Shanty and Jake

 * During the troubling times of his leadership, Pinestar often visited Twolegplace to talk to his kittypet friends, as it was the only time where he felt peace. He and Shanty are especially good friends, and Pinestar often relies on her for advice and comfort. But one day, while Pinestar was visiting Twolegplace for advice, Shanty was hit and killed by a Twoleg monster. The monster also took one of Pinestar's lives, and Pinestar is heartbroken after the death of one of his closest friends. Still mourning the loss of his friend and having troubled thoughts, Pinestar wonders what good he could do for Shanty's Twolegs. He belives that he could do more good for these Twolegs than he could ThunderClan, so he makes the choice to leave and live with Shanty's Twolegs, and now calls himself Pine. Jake believes that Shanty would like and approve of Pine's choice to leave ThunderClan.
