Fallon Grey

Fallon Grey is a character from Southperry who attends Fairview Remedial School. She is known for being a member of the Townies and is portrayed by stareaholic.
==Appearance==
Fallon is a fair-skinned teenage girl who stands at the 'towering' height of 5'5".. If you compare her to most girls around the Southperry area. She has a lotus flower tattoo largely scaled on her arm, and a skull tattoo on her shoulder blade. Her hair is a shiny black, often unkempt and knotted, as she doesn't place much importance on her appearance, though she doesn't let it become unsanitary, and she often ridicules those who /do/ have unsanitary hair.
Her skin is far from flawless, as Fallon rarely wears makeup beyond mascara, leaving her imperfections and blemishes visible. A scar runs across her right cheekbone, a mark left by her father's wedding ring in an accident, but Fallon likes to make up lies on the true story behind it. She has snakebite piercings done by herself, and has had them since she was 15.
Fallon's fashion choices are more practical than stylish, consisting mainly of hand-me-downs from her father. Her most prized possession is her race jacket, which serves as a glimpse into one of her many interests. If she isn't wearing that, she's typically sporting a beaten up afflictions shirt, which is always paired with her tattered sneakers.
==Characteristics==
Fallon Gray presents herself as a scrappy girl with no filter, often seeming as if she lives in her own world, indifferent to the opinions of others. For reasons unknown, Fallon has always struggled to empathize with those around her, often choosing to avoid them or remain ignorant. She becomes increasingly irritated when people display genuine emotional responses. This was evident the night Bowie Rockets was brutally attacked; while Caden Jacobs felt sick to his stomach, Fallon couldn't find the right words to comfort him, her lack of empathy glaringly apparent.
Since joining the Southperry Townies, Fallon's empathy has dwindled even further. The group's hardened attitude and cynical outlook have only reinforced her emotional distance. Fallon finds herself more comfortable in the cold, transactional relationships fostered within the Townies, where vulnerability is seen as a weakness. But there is a true loyalty she holds within the group, and her peers are considered her true friends.
When interacting with outsiders, Fallon often puts on a façade, pretending to be someone she's not. She can be charming and agreeable, presenting an image that sharply contrasts with her inner detachment. For instance, at the party before they kidnapped Robin Pine, she engaged in friendly conversations with those around her. However, this game of charades serves a purpose for Fallon: to gain the trust of those she wishes to manipulate and maintain control over.
The Bowie Rocket incident marked a significant shift in Fallon’s mindset. That night, while her friend felt terrible about what had happened, Fallon felt nothing and instead rationalized the events with 'logical' reasoning. This mindset, which was shared among the other Townies, further influenced Fallon's mental decline and pushed her further away from any semblance of empathy or remorse.
However, contrary to popular belief, Fallon is not a sociopath. While she may exhibit certain tendencies, she genuinely cares for her true friends—even if she doesn't always show it.
==Character Background==
Fallon, unfamiliar with the warmth of a traditional home, grew up in a problematic environment. With a sickly mother who could hardly hold a conversation and a father who acted more like a friend than a parent, Fallon lacked the guidance and structure typical of a conventional upbringing. From the age of ten, caring for her ailing mother became her sole responsibility, as her father cited his own mental health struggles as the reason for his absence in this role.
Her father encouraged risky behaviors in Fallon, shaping her worldview to mirror his own belief that everyone around them was a threat. This led her to see the world in stark black and white terms, with no understanding of a middle ground. For Fallon, situations were either extraordinarily good or utterly catastrophic, and her feelings relied on how other's acted and treated her.
With a loony for a father, Fallon became increasingly alienated from her peers and the world around her. Her schoolmates, seeing Fallon as a basket-case with the town's freakshow of a father, unknowingly fit into the narrative her father had painted—one where everyone was out to get her, cruel and unforgiving. This only served to worsen her already distorted perspective. Fallon's behavior became increasingly erratic, and she lashed out over the smallest of things. Instead of receiving the support she needed, the school faculty began to turn a cold shoulder to her, viewing her as a delinquent rather than a troubled child.
This profound loneliness plunged Fallon into a dark, isolating world. She spent countless hours alone, trapped in her thoughts, trying to make sense of her fragmented family life. As she pieced things together, resentment towards her parents began to fester. She saw her father’s influence in her every negative thought and action, and she grew bitter towards her mother for her inability to provide the nurturing presence Fallon so desperately needed.
This resentment translated into a noticeable decline in her behavior at home. She started contributing less and less, no longer feeling any sense of duty or connection to her family. Her grades at school plummeted, and she began skipping classes, withdrawing further into herself. The lack of motivation and presence at home took a toll on her mother, whose health was already precarious. Fallon’s disengagement and neglect became the tipping point, leading to her mother’s eventual demise—a tragedy that Fallon had to hold the weight of forever.
Without much hesitation, Fallon severed all ties with her father following her mother's death. She never allowed herself the chance to speak with him, to understand his thoughts or feelings about her after her mother passed. Instead, she chose to believe that ignorance was likely bliss, and took off.
Drifting from place to place, Fallon never found a place she could truly call home. She didn't want to live a life of complete isolation, so she made desperate attempts to secure a job. Numerous rejections from those who knew her and her family's troubled history only fueled her resentment, brewing a deep-seated hatred for the townsfolk around her. She became hostile and cold towards even passerby's. 
Fallon often resorted to petty theft just to scrape together enough money for a meal. Despite her resentment and hostility, Fallon yearned for some sort of belonging, company that didn't bore her or outcast her. Fairview housed very few people like her, but one in a million showed itself to her, and opened a conversation about The Townies. A gate opened, and Fallon was interested from the get-go, eventually becoming one herself.
