Hallow

Hallow is a pumpkin monster who is always seen with the purple reaper, Jack, and sometimes their "underling" reaper-in-training, Apellow. He often appears by Jack's side as a little eyeless black cat and rides atop his head or on his shoulders.

Despite having no eyes, he is very good at games of hide-and-seek, because he'll detect even the tiniest of sounds. He loves to play games but won't stand for any dirty tricks. If you cheat, the gloves are off. He is extremely playful and prefers to troll people with riddles or roundabout answers instead of being direct.

Hallow has very cat-like behaviors and loves to curl up and hide in dark, small places. If given a box, he'll try to fit inside it...or completely crush it while trying to. He'll even arch his back when upset, stretching, or yawning. He swats and breaks things out of boredom or to get a rise out of others. He enjoys being pet or scratched on the neck, but anywhere else is a "no."

He was originally a demon who had grown tired of the endless loop that he could barely call "life." After wandering out into several planes of existence, he came across Jack, who bested him in a game. They became buds after that and signed a demonic contract. He has been following Jack around for years now, helping the reaper out with tracking down and collecting souls. When Jack isn't around to teach the intern, Apellow, Hallow takes his place (much to Apellow's dismay.) He's still a lot more nicer than other true demons out there, but it's because Jack's good will has been rubbing off on him.

His real identity is as the trickster demon, Halloi'luhmeire, or "Halloi" for short. "Halloi" is close but not actually his true name, either. That, too, is a trick. He gave it to himself to have a "mortal name" to identify by, and his current nickname "Hallow" was given by Jack. His real demonic name is only known to his master, Jack. Nobody else is allowed to speak it.

Hallow is different from other true demons, in that he doesn't go around devouring souls anymore. It makes him significantly weaker, but he does it to obey the rules of reaping and for his master. He's only allowed to devour a soul with permission, and it's often as a rare treat. He helps Jack herd lost souls back to the spirit world and babysits Apellow (despite the sheep's protests) when Jack is unable to.

He's much nicer than most demons, but only because Jack's "good will" has been rubbing off on him. It helps that his master teaches him about the value of life, otherwise he'd be swatting down every single living critter he came across for amusement.

Being a demon, Hallow has no real need for food and only requires the ocassional soul for power, but he still indulges in snacks. His favorite drinks are pumpkin spice lattes and tea. He indulges in both during autumn and winter.
He also eats pumpkins and pumpkin dishes; he doesn't consider it cannibalism.
