Deep down, despite outward behavior and sardonic humor, Fallow is a deeply talkative, playful, goofy, and hyperactive cat—or, at least, this is the side of himself that he wishes to return to someday. His talkativeness was often perceived by clanmates as a source of irritation, which caused lifelong difficulties in forming relationships with other cats. 

Physically, he has a natural aptitude for athleticism and muscular strength, though he has little muscular endurance. At one point in time, he was an excellent combatant, but these skills have been lost to time. Given the right space and training, these skills could be easily relearned.

As an adolescent, his social and physical traits led to many physical altercations and caused him to struggle with befriending his fellow apprentices.

After undergoing prolonged isolation, he has lost the few social skills he had and struggles to communicate properly with other cats. Fallow is quite awkward and quiet as a result. Deep down, despite outward behavior and sardonic humor, Fallow is a deeply talkative, playful, goofy, and hyperactive cat—or, at least, this is the side of himself that he wishes to return to someday.

Currently, Fallow leans towards pacifism. If he were to develop a strong enough relationship to something larger than himself, he could be convinced to fight for its protection and causes.

Born as the only surviving kit in his litter, in the midst of a violent war between his clan and Redwoodclan and a violent winter, Fallow becomes acquainted with death at a young age.

As an apprentice, Fallow is playful and talkative to the point of offending and irritating his clanmates, often resulting in unnecessary altercations and duels. This does, however, increase his ability and athleticism, though it permanently damages his ability to form and maintain relationships with other cats. His sense of humor, initially goofy, becomes more sarcastic and sardonic.

Towards the end of his apprenticeship, Fallow became disillusioned with Thistleclan, his own complicity in war, and the ideology of his parents. Therefore, he left to become an outsider, never to return home again. He wandered for seasons following his departure, with little contact with other cats beyond occasional flings with other loners (none of whose names he remembers or really knew in the first place). In this time, he sees many loners become rogues, and many rogues become assistants in the warfare of the clans. As a result of his first- and second-hand experiences, the passage of time, and the introspection that comes with being alone, Fallow calmed down and developed increasing maturity—coming of age in quietude and isolation. 

Fallow, in the past few seasons, has begun to seek out connections with other cats and perhaps even the stars. After moons of soul-searching, he decided to join the Tunnel Cats for safety, friendship, meaning, and purpose. Now he finds himself re-discovering his long-lost voice as he continues to develop and heal.
