History:
The Start of Faith
"When I was a kid, I used to beg my mom for a dog. Didn't matter what kind, I just wanted, you know, something to love. A dog's all I wanted. Well, that and toys. But Mom was so busy, you know, enjoying the drinking and passing out parts of life, that I never really got what I wanted."
¯Faith Lehane
Faith Lehane was born December 14, 1980 in South Boston, Massachusetts, to an alcoholic mother. At the age of four, her abusive father was imprisoned for murder, and Faith was raised believing he had died. As a child, Faith played with her imaginary friend Alex.
Throughout her teen years, Faith had repeating dreams of her and Alex fleeing from a group of women, later discovered to be maenads. In the dreams, Faith was captured and tortured, both by the maenads and their master, The Father. These dreams were, in actuality, visions of the final days of Artemia, a Slayer from ancient Greece, and her daughter, Alexandra, who was killed by the Father.
After being suspended from school for fighting, Faith lived alone for a time, eventually finding out that her mother had been arrested. At that point, her guidance counselor, V, assigned her to a foster home. It was there that Faith discovered and slew her first vampire. Mr. Duncan Jones and his wife were secretly keeping their long-undead son, Robert imprisoned in their attic, feeding unruly foster-children to him. The child nearly escaped, but Faith, whether by luck or by destiny, pulled down the curtains from the attic window, bathing the room in sunlight and slaying the undead child. From there, Faith fled, only to find her mother missing, along with her sleazy boyfriend Gable. Eventually, Faith discovered that her mother, under Gable's orders, was working as a hooker. In an act of blind rage, Faith attacked her mother's former client, smashing his head against the sidewalk. She was restrained by police, and taken to Belmont Center for observation, where she met Kenny, a young man with the rare ability to create tulpas, living representations of powerful memories, thoughts, or obsessions.
Becoming a Slayer
Faith was released from Belmont into the custody of Professor Diana Dormer, who was, unbeknownst to Faith, a Watcher. Under Dormer, Faith began her Slayer-training, learning martial arts and weapon handling. During this time, she found out that her mother had been found dead.
On May 12th, 1998, upon the death of Kendra Young, Faith obtained full power, becoming the Slayer. During her time as the Slayer in Boston, Faith's dreams became worse and worse, and she even had a confrontation with her "imaginary" friend, Alex. Eventually, she began having long blackouts, unaware of her surroundings or actions. As it turned out, Faith was, at least in part, possessed by the spirit of Artemia, who sought revenge on the Father for the murder of her child. With Professor Dormer and Kenny's aid, Faith was able to remove Artmia's presence from her body.
Faith first major battle as the Slayer is with Kakistos, whose face she leaves horribly scarred.
On June 20th, Kakistos, the Father, kidnapped Dormer, baiting Faith into a confrontation. At her arrival, Kakistos killed the Professor be ripping her in two, and successfully captured Faith. However, using her rage and the aid of Artemia's spirit, Faith was able to overcome both the Father and his minions, killing many and dealing Kakistos both a sword slash to the groin and an axe wound that cleaved his face in two, a wound that he would never completely heal from. Faith then lit the hideout’s support beams on fire, causing the entire lair to collapse.
With no Watcher to guide her and Kakistos likely on her tail, Faith fled Boston, but not before exacting her revenge on Gable for her mother's death. On the bus out of Boston, Faith was confronted once again by "Alex," who cleared up the final questions regarding Faith's visions and Kakistos. It turned out that Alexandra, Artemia's daughter was driven insane by the maenads, and made a deal with a demon named D'Hoffryn. Alexandra was born anew as a Vengeance demon, and in exchange the maenads were destroyed with a thought. Alexandra ceased to exist, and Malice was born. Malice was going to grant Artemia's wish for revenge on the Father, but got caught up in a battle in Arashmahaar and had her powers stripped from her before the wish could be fulfilled. Faith believed it was Kenny's unique abilities that brought Malice's power back, although this remains unclear. Malice then vanished, and Faith continued onward, eventually arriving in Sunnydale.
The Good, The Bad, The ugly. It’s SUNNYDALE
When she first arrived in Sunnydale, Faith began dealing with the trauma of her Watcher's death after staking Kakistos. Faith felt like an outsider in Buffy's world even though she initially endeared herself to Buffy's mother and friends. Buffy, who was still recovering from the trauma of killing Angel, maintained emotional distance from Faith and withheld Angel's return from her. Although she resented Faith's carefree attitude toward violence, Buffy still trusted Faith enough to leave her to protect her mother at Christmas and even showed hints of being attracted by Faith's wilder way of Slaying. Faith perceived that Buffy did not trust her, further alienating the two.
Faith's isolation heightened when her new Watcher, Gwendolyn Post, abused her trust to plot an evil scheme. Later, Faith accidentally killed Deputy Mayor Allan Finch and went into denial. When it became clear that Buffy intended to reveal what happened, she tells Giles that Buffy had killed Finch, and Giles played along to avoid pushing Faith too far. The Scooby Gang decideed to help Faith, and Xander visited Faith's motel room to reason with her, but she nearly strangled him instead. Angel arrived in time and took her to his mansion to try to reason with her. Meanwhile, Buffy and Faith's new Watcher, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, heard of Faith's crime and tried to arrest Faith with the help of a group of operatives from the Watchers' Council. Faith, however, attacked them inside their armored car and escaped. Isolated and bitter, she secretly turned to Mayor Richard Wilkins III, filling the void of Mayor Wilkins' "right hand man" left by the vampire Mr. Trick, whom Faith had recently killed.
Faith and Mayor Wilkins developed an affectionate, emotional closeness, and she came to see him as a father figure. While serving Mayor Wilkins undercover, she killed a smuggler and a bookseller demon. Later, Faith kidnaped Willow and desired to kill her. She also killed a geology professor at Mayor Wilkins' order, without question. Her duplicity was exposed when she tried to rob Angel of his soul. Despite her actions, Faith was somewhat surprised when Willow told her that she is beyond help. Faith then shot Angel with a poisoned arrow, deliberately missing his heart to ensure protracted suffering and to distract Buffy's efforts before Mayor Wilkins' Ascension. The only antidote was the blood of a Slayer, and Buffy visited Faith's apartment to kill her, intending to give Faith to Angel for him to drain Faith's blood, but Buffy only managed to stab Faith in the abdomen with her own knife, a gift from Mayor Wilkins. Faith jumped from the apartment building roof onto a moving truck and escaped. However, their fight left Faith in a coma for eight months. During that time, Buffy and Faith shared a series of psychic dreams.
It’s a whole new world
Faith regained consciousness after eight month. After learning what had happened while she was gone, she surprised Buffy and Willow on the UC Sunnydale campus. Faith was angry at Buffy's attempt to sacrifice her to Angel "What did you think? I'd wake up and we'd go for tea? You tried to gut me blondie.", and even more so when she found out that Buffy wasn't even with him anymore. She was also devastated further upon hearing about the death of Mayor Wilkins. After a brief fight, Faith escaped from the approaching police and later attacked Buffy's mother, at her house. As Buffy was about to win the ensuing battle, Faith used a magical device, a gift from Mayor Wilkins, to swap bodies with Buffy. Buffy, in Faith's body, was kidnapped by the Watchers' Council Special Ops team to be taken to England, while Faith (as Buffy) planed to flee the country. After meeting Tara, Willow’s girlfriend, in Buffy’s body. Tara Maclay realized something was wrong and told Willow. In the meantime, Faith flirted with Spike, and slept with Riley Finn, Buffy's boyfriend. She was torn between her desire to flee and her sense of duty to rescue a group of churchgoers taken hostage by vampires. When she chose to save the hostages, Faith also encountered Buffy (who arrived on the scene with the same goal). During their confrontation, she savagely beat her own body, expressing extensive self-hatred. With Tara's help, Buffy managed to undo the body switch, and Faith fled Sunnydale by hopping a freight train.
Faith seeks redemption in the arms of the person she was paid to kill, Angel.
Faith's story continued In L.A. In Los Angeles, she rampaged through the underworld, stealing and squatting in her victims' apartments. Faith was approached by Wolfram & Hart, who had learned that a "rogue Slayer" was in town, and hired her to kill Angel. She demonstrated her "evil" side to Angel by kidnapping Wesley and brutally torturing him. In a subsequent fight with Angel, (in which Faith had the upper hand the majority of the time due to Angel's refusal to fight her properly) Faith insisted that he kill her because she's "bad." Angel repeatedly refused, and Faith eventually broke down crying, begging Angel to kill her. Angel began the task of saving Faith's soul, forgiving her and working to break down her emotional walls. Just as Faith began to feel remorse for her crimes, Buffy arrived, looking for revenge. In the meantime, the Watchers' Council also showed up, intending to kill Faith, and Kate Lockley also came to Angel's apartment after learning from Lindsey McDonald that she was in Angel's custody. Faith decided to surrender to the police and face the consequences for her actions, eventually being sentenced to prison. Faith, ironically, found some level of stability in her prison life, noting that at least she had three meals a day and an occasional movie. Although capable of escaping at any time, the penitent Faith chose to cooperate with the terms of her confinement.
Helping the one that saved me and the one who hates me
While surving her time Faith was attacked by a fellow prisoner named Debbie, an agent of of the First Evil in prison; although Buffy and the Scooby Gang in Sunnydale were aware of the threat posed by the Bringers, they had neglected to warn Faith of the danger. Soon after, she was recruited by Wesley to help find Angelus (Angel's evil persona) and assist in restoring his soul yet again. Without hesitation, Faith broke out of prison. Wesley later told her that "it had to be you" because of her determination to save Angel without killing him. She battled Angelus and just before he defeated her, she injected him with a powerful drug, known as "Orpheus" that incapacitateed both of them. While Willow worked on a spell to restore Angel's soul, Faith and Angel went on a psychic mind walk. The drug almost killed Faith, but during the mental link with Angel and Angelus, she was persuaded by Angel not to give up, because for them, the act of atonement never ends.
After Angel's re-ensoulment, Faith left with Willow to return to Sunnydale to help Buffy and her allies battle the First Evil. She initially followed Buffy's command even though she had some doubts about Buffy's decision-making skills. Buffy was less than enthusiastic about Faith's return, but recognized that reinforcements are desperately needed, and Faith showd dedication to being "one of the good guys." However, when Buffy lost the confidence of the group and was kicked out of the house, the Potentials turn to Faith for leadership. She reluctantly agreed to lead, but her first attack leads the Potential Slayers into a trap. Faith was badly wounded but was saved by Buffy and the surviving Potentials. When the Potentials complained about Faith's decision, stating that they believed that God had punished them for shunning Buffy and following Faith, Buffy defended her, and she and Buffy finally made peace, noting that the friction in their relationship was perhaps due to the fact that under normal circumstances, two fully-activated Slayers were never supposed to co-exist.
After saving the world
Faith appeared as the protagonist. More than a year and a half after the show's finale. Robin Wood, now Faith's ex, led a squad of Slayers. Rupert Giles, head of the revived Watchers' Council, contacted Faith to make a deal: if Faith could assassinate an evil British Slayer, one Lady Genevieve "Gigi" Savidge, Giles would arrange for her to relocate permanently to any country of her choosing, with the promise of never having to resume Slayer duties. To get close to Savidge, Giles educated Faith in British formal etiquette and taught her how to speak with a British accent. Faith was largely successful in befriending Savidge, although her disguise as British aristocrat "Hope" was entirely blown when Buffy was summoned by Roden, a Warlock and Gigi's informal Watcher, for Gigi to kill.
Buffy brought all of Faith's issues to the surface, and in recognizing Faith, blew her cover. Betrayed and unstable, Gigi turned on Faith. In the insuing battle, Faith impaled Gigi on her own axe. As Roden appears, Faith begged for him to heal Gigi. He refused, saying that Faith should be his new Slayer, and that she would be better than Savidge. He said that together they could make Buffy disappear forever. Faith refused, and the two began to battle. As Roden was about to deliver the killing blow, Giles appeared from behind and stabbed Roden in the back with a pair of garden clippers. Faith threw Giles Roden's book and Giles opened it and yells out one of Roden's containment spells. He put the containment field inside Roden and expanded it, which caused Roden's head to explode.
The following morning, Faith and Giles had returned to the apartment. Giles handed Faith her passport out of the country, which Faith accepted, but renounced her plans for retirement. She states that there are more Gigis out there, and that she believed she could help them walk over from the bad side, liking herself to a "Slayer Social worker." Giles agreed with the idea and decided to be Faith's partner in this, given that he and Buffy weren't on speaking terms anymore.
Now
Even though Faith loved seeing the world and helping people who needed help she felt like she needed to stay in one place. That she was over worked. So after a few months of talking to Giles about it and moving back to the states she felt that Misery Valley would be better for her. Though she knew the Scooby Gang was there she made sure to steer clear of them. She didn’t want any fighting to happen between them. In all honesty she was tired of fighting with them. Now a days she fights, helps lost slayers, hangs out at bars when needed a break, and stays at home.
Sample Role Play;;
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEPP screamed the alarm clock by her bed. Faith grumbled as she poked her head out from underneath the covers and looked at the time. “7am great.” She mumbled softly as she tried to shut the clock up. In all honesty she didn’t want to get up. She wanted to go back to sleep and wake up in the late afternoon. But she knew she couldn’t she knew she had to get up and face this damn day. So stretching and yawning she got up and out of bed. As she looked out her apartment window she had to think of what day it was. “Tuesday. That means I have to work at the dinner today.” She sighed softly and looked at the clock. She had maybe an hour to get ready and to get to work. Sighing she headed to the bathroom and started to get ready. Even though she didn’t want to she knew she had to.
About a few hours later Faith stood in a grave yard. She had just gotten off of work and thought that maybe killing a few vampires and demons would help take the edge off. Today at work had been the worst day. She had smoked three packs of cigarettes and almost hit a customer. It took all her energy just to make sure she didn’t whack her boss with the back of her hand. Taking a drag off her cigarette she looked around “Come on…just give me something to kill. One little thing.” She sighed out softly. As she scanned the grave yard her eyes spotted a vampire feeding on something or someone. Frowning softly she put her cigarette out and headed towards them. This was going to be fun as she thought about it an evil smile graced her lips. The smile she use to get before killing someone.
“Hasn’t anyone ever told you not to play with your food?” She asked as she got closer to them. The Vampire snarled and turned around to face her. “Slayer.” Was all it said. Faith cocked an eyebrow at that “Well at least someone knows me…” she grinned as she pulled a stake out of her back pocket. Grinning she started towards him. Kicking him and punching him. She got hit a few times but nothing to bad. After about 10 or 20 minutes she dusted him “Again why do you all even stick around?” she questioned the air.
