Pina (ピナ) is Silica's «Feathery Dragon» and the first known monster to be tamed in Sword Art Online. It understands Silica's commands and will protect her in any way it can, as it is her «Tamed Monster». It is also present in ALfheim Online as her Cait Sith familiar.

Appearance
Pina is a «Feathery Dragon» with its blue body covered in soft, pale blue feathers and two long feathers instead of a tail.

The Black Swordsman (Aincrad 35th Floor, February 2024)
Pina became Silica's tamed monster after Silica fed Pina some peanuts she bought.

After Silica gets into an argument with her party members, she leaves them without even taking recovery items with her. She and Pina get lost in the forest, where at one point they are surrounded by monsters. Pina takes a deadly blow meant for Silica and perishes. Silica and her temporary companion Kirito, go to the «Hill of Memories» on the 47th floor to obtain the rare pet revival item, the «Pneuma Flower». After they return to town with the flower, Silica uses it and successfully revives Pina.
