== Appearance & Personality ==
==== Appearance ====
sh I'm lazy
==== Personality ====
She's really chill and sweet. She just generally acts like a mom. She calls everyone "hon" because she can. Yes, I did steal that idea from Cedarpoppy's "dear" thing. Hush. She’s kind of a gossipy gal, though, and likes to tease and mess around with everyone. Just because she’s an elder doesn’t mean she can’t have fun.
== Backstory ==
==== Kithood ====
There are much more details about her kithood on Stickstripe's page, but basically, she was born in OrchidClan to Violetleaf. Her father, Pricklepad, was a MarshClan cat who hadn't wanted kits to begin with, so he never really visited. This sparked a bunch of arguments between him and Violetleaf, and when Fallowkit was three moons old, they broke up.
Fallowkit spent a lot of time with her siblings, Cedarkit and Stickkit. They were pretty close since both of their parents were somewhat distant and cold to a degree. Violetleaf felt like it was the kits’ fault she’d lost her mate, after all. She got along very well with Brightkit and Duskkit, though, two other kits in the nursery. She liked teasing Brightkit about her crush on Stickkit.
==== Apprenticeship ====
She became an apprentice and was still close with her friends and siblings. Her mentor was a she-cat named Creamfleck. Stickpaw’s mentor was Creamfleck’s sister, so she and Stickpaw had a lot of training sessions together. Everything was fairly chill... until Violetleaf suddenly died. That was pretty jarring for Fallowpaw and her siblings. Then Cedarpaw left to join MarshClan in order to be with Pricklepad. Fallowpaw was a bit sad, but she wasn't too bothered - Stickpaw, on the other hand, was extremely angry about it, and he didn't get along with Cedarpaw for a while after that. It was pretty stressful for Fallowpaw.
When she was nine moons old, she was hunting once near the MarshClan border when she found herself being attacked by a pair of possums. She was left with a thin scar on her right side from the encounter. A young loner suddenly appeared and helped her drive them off, however. He introduced himself as Jet and explained that he was just wandering around looking for a good place to settle. As a thanks for saving her, she showed him to the outer border and said that he could stay in the hilly moorland beyond OrchidClan's border. They began running into each other more and more, though, and their friendship soon began evolving into something more.
When they were eleven moons old, Fallowpaw finally convinced Stickpaw and Cedarpaw to get along again. She was happy and pretty relieved about that. She finished her training without any problems.
==== Warrior Life ====
Fallowfleck became a warrior and was still pretty happy. Until Creamfleck died. That wasn't cool. Not much later, Pricklepad died, too. That wasn't cool either. She and Stickstripe attended his vigil in MarshClan. She was comforted by Jet during this time, and they established an actual relationship, eventually becoming mates.
A pregnant loner named Sandslip joined the Clan, too! Fallowfleck became good friends with Sandslip and once she had her kits— Moonkit and Thornkit— Fallowfleck was thrilled for her. Unfortunately, Sandslip’s mate died when the kits were five moons old, and that kind of threw Sandslip into a bit of a depression.
Speaking of depression! Brightbark died at around the same time. She’d finally became mates with Stickstripe and had his kits, Coniferkit and Leafkit, only to get murdered by some rogues on the outer border. Fallowfleck was devastated. She talked to Jet about it, and he promised her he’d watch out for any signs of aggressive cats nearby.
That wasn’t all, either. Cedarstrike and Dusklight both died on separate occasions during the next several moons, too. She sort of became a depresso gal and Jet was pretty much her main source of comfort.
She became Moonpaw's mentor. That made her happy. Stickstripe was mentoring Thornpaw, so they once again got to work together a lot. Fallowfleck trained Moonpaw as well as she could, and they developed something resembling a mother/daughter dynamic since Sandslip had kind of began neglecting her kits after the death of their father. It was sweet, but it saddened Fallowfleck, and Sandslip refused to listen whenever she tried to talk to her. She died when Moonpaw was halfway through her training anyways. That was upsetting for Fallowfleck. All of her friends were dead now.
After Moonmist became a warrior, Fallowfleck continued meeting with Jet at the outer border, and they began trying to have kits. It was at around this time that Fallowfleck discovered that she was infertile, and would never be able to bear kits of her own. She was devastated upon learning this, as she had always wanted kits. She sucked it up, though.
One day, she went to visit Jet only to find that he had been killed by another loner in the area, a younger tom named Slash. Little did she know, Slash was Moonmist's mate. Fallowfleck was horrified and grief-stricken, but she left and didn't cause any unnecessary trouble.
==== Retirement ====
She retired at the age of seventy-seven moons, joining Stickstripe and an older she-cat named Thornheart in the warriors' den. She pretty much just chills now. She doesn't like that the borders are closed. She became friends with Twistwhisker through gatherings and things. She continued to be an absolute gossip queen and pretty much knew all about the rebellion, but she didn’t participate, and she never mentioned anything about it. She secretly hoped that Leafshine, Palestep, and the other rebels succeed, though, whether or not they ended up having to overthrow Lavenderstar.
She had conversations with Pollencloud and Flashpaw on separate occasions, but neither of them really amounted to anything. She just complained about the borders to Pollencloud and made fun of Stickstripe with Flashpaw.
She got the plague during the first wave, along with Leafshine. That was spoopy. But she didn't die. She survived the plague. Good job, Fallowfleck. She was kind of sad when Pollencloud died, but she was happy for Flashfoot when he became a warrior. She was also proud of Moonmist for being a good mom to kits who weren’t hers. When her nephew and Leafshine's brother Conifercob died, she was pretty sad about it. She spent a lot of time trying to comfort Stickstripe, though.
Also, the rebellion ended up doing their rebellion thing and Leafshine became leader. Lavenderstar - now Lavendersight - moved into the elders' den. Fallowfleck is doing her best to get along with her.
Currently, she just vibes. Help her.

==== Trivia ====
* She received her suffix in honor of her mentor, because Creamfleck was cool and everyone knew it.
*Moonmist mentioned Slash to her once, telling her that he was Sageblossom's father, and Fallowfleck was sort of horrified, but she never said anything. No one knows about Jet except for her. She's never told anyone about him.
*She and Ashface are the only two cats in the roleplay known to be infertile, and Fallowfleck is the only one with natural infertility. At least, that I know of. How come I (Starling) own both of them?? Wack.
