Fallowfern/Main article

Fallowfern is a pale brown she-cat with blue eyes who has lost her hearing.

Fallowfern is a SkyClan elder under the leadership of Leafstar in the gorge and lake territories. She and her mate, Waspwhisker, had four kits: Rabbitleap, Plumwillow, Nettlesplash, and Creekfeather. When SkyClan was exiled from the gorge by Darktail, Fallowfern went missing in the aftermath of their battle, but after many moons, she was reunited with the Clan.

A Vision of Shadows

 * Fallowfern arrives at the lake along with the rest of the surviving SkyClan cats. On one occasion, she gets into a scuffle with the ShadowClan warrior, Juniperclaw, after accidentally treading into ShadowClan territory while collecting herbs for Leafpool.

 * In SkyClan's Destiny, Fallowfern is a new member of SkyClan nursing her and Waspwhisker's kits. She is often seen caring for the restless kits, who wish to help out in Clan duties. However, she continually reminds them that they cannot due to their age.


 * In Hawkwing's Journey, Fallowfern has become an elder. When Darktail and his rogues attack SkyClan's camp, she fights alongside Clovertail, but both elders vanish after the battle. Moons later, she reunites with SkyClan along with Sandynose, who explains that they had been captured by Twolegs. However, Fallowfern's joy is cut short when she learns that Waspwhisker has been taken away by Twolegs.

SkyClan and the Stranger

 * When Leafstar and her kits are trapped in a Twoleg nest, Fallowfern participates in SkyClan's plan to free her by feigning injury to get the Twoleg to bring her inside. After the flood, Fallowfern, Patchfoot, and Petalnose admit to Leafstar that they plan to leave SkyClan, believing that the gorge was no longer safe. However, they each change their minds after a successful battle against a group of rogues.
