Personality
On the outside Low acts careless and likes to tease others. He is easily offended, gets confused very fast and is also embarrassed fast, especially by being called "cute". He also can be pretty flippant. But Low does also care about others more than anyone would think. He has a strong will, which is the reason he joined Catastrophe and then helped the Cures. Low really loves his family although he barely talks about them.

Abilities/Power
Like the others, Low has the powers to create shadow creatures to take the colors of the rainbow worlds. But he also has other powers like teleporting. After he changed the sides, he uses his normal powers more than the Katahowa power. Main reason of this is that Diamond doesn't like it. But in final or hard fights, he sometimes creates Katahowas that help the Pretty Cures. He is also seen to be able to suck up other's attacks and then send it back to the enemy, as first used in Holidays at Skyriver. Another power he has is creating a knife or blade that he uses to attack an enemy directly. Low only uses his powers to protect those who are important to him.

As explained in episode 24, Low is able to speak any language of this world, by reflecting the language skills of native speakers. For example, he reflects the skills of the girls to speak Japanese. However, he also stated that he doesn't know any Japanese.

Family

 * Aziz - Low's father who seems to have a lot power, sometimes refered as almost as strong as Catastrophe. Besides that, he is a caring person who only uses his powers to protect the ones he loves and that are important to him. Low has stated that he always looked up to his father. He also said, that Aziz doesn't trust Catastrophe at all.
 * Kalena - Low's mother who is a very caring person. She is usually worried about others, mostly about those who are her family. However, Low is the one she is most worried about, due to his careless attitude. Low said that he loves her but is also annoyed by her behavior sometimes.
 * Kallisto & Kalliope - Low's younger sisters. Kallisto and Kalliope are twins who look up to their older brother, even show that they really missed him while being in our world instead of Kamon. The two really like to hug others or each other. Eventhough he hasn't mentioned the two directly, Low cares a lot about them. He even gave to two nicknames; Kallisto is called "Kalli" and Kalliope is called "Kallo" by Low.

Friends

 * Blue & Mikanki Amber - Besides Diamond, those two were the first to try being nice to Low. While Amber acted cold towards him for a long time, Blue realized that he is no danger and didn't attack him. Amber also warmed up after a while and started being nice to him. She often brings him something of MIKAN~PAN, since she figured out that he likes it.
 * Shirosora Diamond - Diamond was the reason why Low changed to the Cures' side. He feels a lot for Diamond, though he doesn't show it in public and blushes easily when someone asks him out about Diamond. Due to his behavior, Diamond likes to call him "cute", which always surprises him, gets confused, starts blushing and tells her 'that he is not cute'.
 * Akahane Ruby - Ruby warms up towards Low very fast. Though she is one of the last to trust him. In the sequel, she asks Low for a favor because she made her sister angry.
 * Aomizu Sapphire - A funny but very complicated friendship. Sapphire didn't trust Low at all at the beginning and always tried to "protect" Diamond from him. And even after she started trusting him, she likes to tease him. The two keep teasing each other or even call each other by special nicknames. However, their teasing sometimes becomes a arugment where Diamond has to try to calm them two down.
 * Yoshida-san - Yoshida-san always kept trying to become one of Low's friends but continued calling him "Kuraisoba-san", which Low doesn't like at all. Low always though he'd be annoying and stayed cold.
 * Yoiki Chris - Low met Chris during their first High School day, coincidentally they are in the same class. Though Low first acts cold towards Chris, he soon warms up with him and they became friends. However, Low is still annoyed how Chris is open for everything and doesn't even think about things at all.
 * Teruiro Yoshiro - Not really a friend of him. More like a rival. Yoshiro showed to have a crush on Diamond, which maked Low not just jealous but also angry.

Former Friends

 * Void - Void used to be Low's friend for a long time. He used to protect him from everything. Their friendship ended when Low followed his heart and joined the Cures.

Etymology
Low (ロー) - As said in Sky Pretty Cure: Kamon e no ryokō!, his name has nothing to do with the English word "low". The name Low is a composition of the Kamonian words Lo meaning "proud" and O meaning "warrior".

Kuraisoba (暗い側) - Kurai (暗い) means "dark" and Soba (側) means "side". Together, Kuraisoba means "The dark side".

Quartz (クオーツ) - Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust, after feldspar. The word "quartz" is derived from the German word "Quarz" and its Middle High German ancestor "twarc", which probably originated in Slavic (cf. Czech tvrdý, Polish twardy)

Nicknames
Prince (プリンス) - Mostly used by Sapphire. She uses it to tease him. She started calling him Prince, after Low started calling her Sapphire-hime.
