## Character info

### Relatives

* Lito (son)
* Pío (son)

## Description

Pinto is a Marans rooster. He primarily has red feathers, a black belly, red and brown wings, dark brown tail feathers, orange talons, red wattle, yellow beak, and foggy blue eyes. He also wears a bronze neck watch.

### Volumes 1-3

Pinto’s design was very similar to today, but there are key differences. His wings more resembled real wings than hands; he was less plump and built similarly to Bartolito; and lastly he had bright green eyes. In volume 1, Pinto was naked, not wearing his neck watch. He gained his neck watch in volume 2 from the song La Gallina Pintadita, and continued to wear it through volume 3.

### Volume 4

In volume 4, while the art style changed, Pinto’s design was basically untouched. However, he was able to express his face more than the previous volumes, and the major feathers on his wings acted like fingers and could move more. The most major change done to him was his eye color was changed from a bright green, to a foggy blue.

### Volume 5-present

By volume 5, the art style got a complete overhaul with various character redesigns. Pinto remained relatively the same, but with some significant changes. His wings were now changed to resemble hands, and his body shape was actually changed a bit, making him a bit more plump than Bartolito. At the start of volume 5, Pinto’s eyes were changed to a turquoise color, essentially combining his old green eyes with his foggy blue ones. However, by the song Tiene Mi Caballo, Pinto’s eyes were reverted back to the foggy blue color.

## Personality

Pinto lives in the henhouse with Bartolito, the Rooster and the chicks on Zenón’s farm. Unlike Bartolito, Pinto is more serious, calm, and tougher than Bartolito. Because of this, this makes Pinto the dominant rooster of the henhouse. He’s meant to protect the chickens by alerting Zenón when a predator is around, and he has to stay awake for most of the night to see the sunrise so he can do his morning rooster call. His rooster call wakes up everyone at the farm. Pinto will often try to train Bartolito to do the rooster call, however Bartolito always fails. He has a sort of rocky relationship with his wife, Bataraza, however the two still deeply care for each other very much. Pinto’s main hobby is painting. He likes to paint what he sees, and even Bartolito will give him scenary to paint.
