Ipinean is a gender in the Sylvian System, one of the four Nature Systems. It is a gender which is both connected to forests, deep naturecore, and their overall aesthetics but which has a specific and strong connection to pine forests. One may feel like their gender is specifically related to pine forests or a specific part of them. For example, someone may feel that their gender is related to pine forests if their gender is aromatic and wintry. Ipinean people can have any alignment and/or no alignment, and depending on what alignment they have, they could use another term from the Sylvian System to describe themselves. For example, an ipinean person who is fiaspec could say they're mistic ipinean, from mistian.
