Magus Pine

Magus Pine is a young warrior-wizard and Rena's main ally in Grapple Force Rena. She has extensive training and knowledge in magic, and utilizes it very effectively. She also claims that she was a reckless tryhard in her youth.
In Grapple Force Rena, Pine is on a mission to find the source of the hollows before the Archmage gets involved in the situation and starts cracking down on people. She becomes friends with Rena and the two work together to track down Lueh, who Pine believes is the source of the hollows. Months after Lueh's death, when Rena is captured by Artificer Joules, she jumps into Joules' laboratory herself to save her friend. She also assists Rena in the final fight in Capital City against the Archmage.

== Personality ==
Pine takes pride in her fighting ability, but is not so egotistical that she can't acknowledge when she is outclassed, as shown in how she acts after her fight with Rena.

== Relationships ==
=== Rena ===
When Pine first met Rena while fighting hollows in the Glass Caverns, she viewed Rena as an overconfident kid with a large ego, and she shot down Rena's offer to work with her in finding the source of the hollows. As Pine progresses further into the Caverns, she realizes that Rena is following her. When she asks Rena how she has made it so far into the caverns, Rena reveals her Grapple Bracelets. Pine immediately understands that Rena bracelets are one of Lueh's bound artifacts, and demands that Rena hand them over. When they fight and Pine loses, Lueh appears and tries to convince Rena to kill Pine, but Rena refuses to do so, as she is opposed to killing a fellow hero. This respect towards her causes Pine to develop a huge sense of respect in turn for Rena. Realizing her arrogance, Pine apologizes and the pair agree to work together. When Pine learns that Rena gone missing after heading into Joules' laboratory, Pine is the first one to jump in headfirst and look for her. She also helps Rena storm Capital City at the end of the game. Although Pine respects Rena, she doesn't appear to like Rena "act first, think later" attitude.
