Tigu Pine

## Tigui Pine

**Tigui Pine** is a noble from the City of Neverwinter and the father of Nana Pine.

## Appearance

Tigui is a strong and sturdy man, his height is above average but not very tall, he wears a thick beard making him tough looking. At his first meeting with a prince Roland, he wore waisted cotton garment and leather pant attached with big pockets, looking more like a huntsman rather than a noble.

## Personality

Tigui is a responsible and loving father. This didn't change even after he discovered that Nana was a witch. He is also courageous, even willing to go against prince to protect his beloved daughter.

Despite his noble status, he doesn't treat the people around him as inferiors. Thanks to that, he has earned respect from hunters and people alike. Unlike common nobles who only eat and sleep every day, Tigui will go to the woods and train along with hunters a few times per week.

## Background

Tigui inherited the title and land from his father, a knight rewarded for the extermination of demonic beasts that had slipped through the fortress's defense, by river. After their benefactor Earl Joe Kohl was granted Duke title and control of Southern Region Pines became a thorn for a Duke Ryan.

After Tigui took possession of the land farm and trade gradually diminished. He was a fighter rather than a manager and preferred to hunt in Misty Forest for three days per week.

## Chronology

When Tigui Pine accidentally witnessed Nana using her witch powers, she ran away, with him rushing after her, to the castle. He was angry when Roland appeared and demanded to bring her to the hall. Knowing the prince's infamous reputation he was worried for Nana especially after witnessing guards had let her in unhindered and refused to accept she was witch until Roland explained his attitude towards witches and the reason behind Nana's visits.

When Roland offered him to stay and fight with demonic beasts, Tigui first rejected his idea but was convinced by the story of his father and the promise of viscount title and land east to Border Town.

During Months of Demons, he stayed by his daughter's side, acting as her bodyguard.

After Victory Day, Tigui was granted the title of Viscount and uncultivated land south of Redwater River, across the town. He asked Roland to sell an old domain and move his family to Border Town.
