Pine, assuredly a very interesting and collected and cool not-cat from afar, would very much love to connect with others in their new village. If it weren’t for the terror of social interactions with strangers, they would have already—but the fear keeps their paws still when opportunities come and go. They work with their paws a lot, despite their air of fanciness, the frame of their glasses hammered out in a blacksmith’s forge and their building skills keeping them busy around Flickertown. They’ve got good enough luck, but that’s a double-edged sword; it makes sure they rarely run into awkward situations, but they’re all too aware of how those can lead to companionship sometimes.
The village is populated by architecture that Pine had a hand in building, a little personal flourish added to the cornerstones of each one. They have their ears to the ground when it comes to accessibility and the preferences of the other not-cats, and will often stay up late into the night or get up early in the morning to make adjustments for accommodations and compromises. While they don’t mind going largely unrecognized for it, they’ve noticed that their own preferences have begun to be recognized in turn… maybe some other not-cat is more perceptive than they realized?
