Who am I? What am I? Where..How?Angry Birds: The Tale of a Featherless Friend
The Featherless Friend is a Pig who, through a series of implausible mishaps, caught amnesia. He is found and befriended by Stella before being returned to Pig City.
Appearance
Looking the same as a normal Minion Pig, with the lime-green skin and snout, The Featherless Friend's signature red coloring comes from the red mud he gets covered in. This mud also gives him a viscus texture.
Personality
We don't get much time with The Featherless Friend while he has his memories. He appears to be more honest and honorable than the average Pig, as he doesn't out Stella to his fellow Minions while they're in the tree. He's also more resistant to the hive mind-esc values of Pig City, as he shows a lack of interest in Egg robbing.

Angry Birds: The Tale of a Featherless Friend
The story starts with The Featherless Friend being berated by King Pig for ignoring his egg stealing duties. When the Minion continues to express indifference towards eggs, The King orders him to be catapulted out of the kingdom. The Pig soon lands in a swamp, hitting his head on the way down and getting covered in red mud. His head injury results in him contracting amnesia, and he's unable to even recognize that he is a Pig. Stella soon comes across the muddy Minion, and takes him in. Stella's fellow birds are not as enthusiastic about there guest as she is, and begin investigating him.
Despite Stella's best attempts to protect him, The Featherless Friend is soon found out by the birds, and promptly thrown in a cage. Stella is determined to get the Pig back to Pig City, however, and breaks him free. When Stella comes across and outwits a Pig patrol, the sight of other Pigs makes The Featherless Friend remember who he is. When they get to Pig City's gate, The Featherless Friend asks Stella to blow him one last bubble. The two resign to the fact that, since The Featherless Friend is a Pig, their friendship could never work out. Stella then returns home.
Relationships
Piggy Kingdom
In spite of being a Minion Pig himself, The Featherless Friend is far more defiant towards the Pig hierarchy than the average Minion. His insubordination is what ends up getting him exiled. In spite of his banishment, he still returns back to Pig City at the end of the story. Given how all Minions are nearly identical, along with how generally dense Pigs are as a whole, it's unlikely anyone would notice or object to his return.
Stella
Stella first meets The Featherless Friend after lamenting her own loneliness. When she finds him, she confuses his amnesiac state for curiosity, which only endears him to her more. Even after she finds out he's a Pig, she still does everything in her power to make sure he gets home safely. She seems saddened by the fact that the two have to part ways on account of The Featherless Friend being a Pig.
The Flock
From the moment The Flock find out about The Featherless Friend, they have no trust in him. They spy on him relentlessly, and lock him up in a cage the moment they find out that he's a Pig. While The Flock, especially Red, are usually on high alert, their treatment of The Featherless Friend seems especially relentless, even for their standards.
