## Comic Involvement

Pinewhisker is seen leading a battle training session with the help of Bushberry and Crowflight. Pinewhisker remains with Crowflight to train Rosepaw and Coldpaw together, while Bushberry is to take Robinpaw to train separately. Pinewhisker is heard encouraging and then scolding Coldpaw to fight back against Rosepaw when they begin their training. Bushberry interrupts after a few moments, exclaiming that Robinpaw was bit by a snake and Pinewhisker instructs them all to help the apprentice get to Deerheart for medical attention.
Pinewhisker is then seen in the medicine den, accompanied by Deerheart, Honeypaw, Robinpaw, Coldpaw, and Bushberry. Deerheart confirms that Robinpaw's snake bite is not venomous, and Pinewhisker is seen with her paw on Bushberry's back as he practically collapses in relief.
Pinewhisker is next seen sitting beneath tallrock with Rosepaw next to her. After Birchstar tells the clan she has horrible news, Pinewhisker appears concerned.
Six moons later WindClan organizes patrols to hunt down Birchstar, and Pinewhisker is assigned to protect camp with Coldpool and Rosethorn. She instructs her sons before the patrols leave, and notices that Coldpool is missing, as well as Robinclaw and Puddlepaw.
When Coldpool comes back Pinewhisker is furious at him for leaving camp alone and making the whole clan look for him, though her lecture is interrupted by the sound of rustling leaves. Birchstar suddendly leaps out of the bushes and attacks Coldpool. Pinewhisker pulls her off, telling her to fight someone her own size. Birchstar growls and attacks her, destroying her eye. Pinewhisker fights back, pinning Birchstar down and ripping her stomach open before fainting from bloodloss next to Coldpool and Clover. She is later seen recovering in the medicine den with Puddlepaw.
A moon later Pinewhisker is talking to Bushberry in camp as Silvertail runs into the clearing, announcing that ThunderClan is about to attack. Pinewhisker accuses her of lying before the attack is launched.
## Personality

Pinewhisker is shown to be intense, focusing more on punishing and reprimanding than praise when it comes to training the apprentices. She loves both her sons dearly, but rarely expresses this, leading to Bushberry trying his hardest to impress his mother constantly.

## Relationships

### Bushberry

Bushberry is Pinewhisker's adopted son. Even though he isn't her biological son, she cares for him as if he was, and doesn't get mad at him after he mistakenly leads Robinpaw to get bitten by a snake.
### Frostflower

Frostflower is Pinewhisker's son, and although she doesn't have interactions with him, she loves him and Bushberry equally, even though she doesn't often show her love.
### Birchstar

Pinewhisker doesn't like Birchstar as Birchstar dislikes Bushberry for having kittypet blood. Pinewhisker naturally hated her more when she turned out to be a traitor to her Clan.
### Crowflight

Crowflight is Pinewhisker's daughter-in-law, and they seem to have a neutral relationship, as Pinewhisker didn't get mad when Crowflight told her to stop being so tough on the apprentices.
### Icesplash

Icesplash is Pinewhisker's half-brother. They grew up together and had a close relationship until Icesplash became mates with Birchstar and barely talked to her anymore.
## Trivia

### Fun Facts

* Pinewhisker has a strong dislike towards Birchstar due to her hatred of kittypets and notably her dislike of Bushberry due to his kittypet lineage.
