Tallow

Tallow is a in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He is a soldier from Colony Mu and its lieutenant under Fiona after the death of the previous lieutenant, Irma.

Appearance and personality
Tallow is a teenage boy with tan skin, black spiky hair with a red undercut and red eyes. He wears an Agnian armour and has a white bandage on his nose.

Transparent Dreams
Tallow is first encountered as the party joins the rest of Colony Mu at the Colony Mu Viewing Deck to discuss the future of the colony. Tallow is hostile towards the Kevesi members of the party, but stops complaining to Fiona as they arrive, scared by their presence and Lanz's massive frame. He joins in explaining the state of Colony Mu to them.

Later, he is controlled by Moebius into attacking Fiona. Lanz knocks him down to protect her. As Consul I reveals herself, she puts most of the Colony Mu soldiers to sleep to shelter them from the truth, but keeps Tallow awake to witness her confrontation with Fiona. After the liberation of Colony Mu, Tallow becomes Fiona's new lieutenant, stepping up for his fallen predecessor.

Unease
Noticing a gloomy atmosphere in Colony Mu, Fiona asks Tallow to help her gather everyone to think for a solution. Together, they decide to gather provisions, but everyone leaves before listening to Tallow's weak call for organization. They end up all collecting large amounts of fish and decide to turn the occasion in a fish-jamboree to eat it, but the festivities are soured when Tallow and Ayasa start clashing with each other.

To Face Forward
Tallow is still trying to prove himself as the new Colony Mu lieutenant, and not everyone agrees with his way of pushing things. In an attempt to make things better, he organizes with Shu a competition system where anyone can collect points for helping in Colony Mu, and the person with the most points will become the new lieutenant. The competition takes a strange turn of events when Tallow ends up giving 999 points to everyone, deciding every single soldier should be properly rewarded for doing what they could. He starts appointing everyone as lieutenant when Fiona interrupts him and apologizes for failing all of them as their commander. She promises to do better in the future, and Tallow reaffirms his eternal support to her.
