FAITH
Faith is a tough, no nonsense Slayer who was called after Kendra was killed.
Having crossed Kakistos (an ancient vamp with a grudge against her for scarring his eye), she fled to Sunnydale, looking for the infamous Buffy so they could exchange notes. Little did she know Kakistos followed her. Thanks to the
slayers' team work, he met his demise when Faith slammed a large wooden beam through his chest.
Living in a run down apartment, Faith kept everyone at arm's length. With
the arrival of Gwendolyn Post, her new watcher, Faith's loyalties were tested as
they searched for the Glove of Myhnegon. Not knowing that Post was an insane
renegade, bent on keeping the powerful artifact for herself, Faith was pitted
against Buffy - the only person she had let herself trust, besides her first
watcher - and Angel in the battle to secure the glove. Afterwards, Faith shut down, barely talking to anyone,
although she did spend Christmas with Buffy and Joyce.
Since that string of events, Faith seemed to become increasingly wilder. Along with having a one night stand with Xander, she also accidentally killed Alan Finch, the mayor's then right
hand man. The Scooby Gang (actually, Buffy, Giles, Angel, and Xander) attempted to bring her back to the gang and stop her downward
spiral toward evil. They seemed to be making some progress when Wesley (Post's
replacement Watcher), showed up and tried to ship her off to England for proper
punishment by the council. Of course she escaped,. but that event plunged her further into
the dark side.
After escaping, she sided with the Mayor. The opening line of that event being: "You sent your boy to kill me... He's dust... So I guess that means you have a job opening." He rented her a high class
apartment with a wicked design for Faith, and that was the start of a less than beautiful relationship. She then became the
Mayor's personal assistant, right hand, and practically daughter.
Attempting to take Angel's soul was another big mistake she made. The mayor provided her with the stuff required, but little did they know that Giles had some friends in the demon world. He asked a "friend" to go through the ritual, which was actually just a fancy light show with a good actor. For those few days, she had a new boy toy.
She and Angel kidnapped Buffy and took her back to Angel's mansion for the usual dinner and torture. When Faith was about to slice into her, Buffy asked her why she did that. Eventually Faith affirmed that she,
herself, was the worlds best actor. Angel in the background corrected her statement and said "Second Best".
Shocked that Buffy and Angel had enacted the whole thing to trick her into
revealing the Mayor's plans, Faith escaped.
To distract Buffy from the coming
Ascension of the demonic Mayor Wilkins, Faith shot Angel with a poison-tipped
arrow, knowing that the only cure to prevent his death would be Slayer's
blood. When Buffy came after her, they fought to the death - or would have
done, if Faith hadn't dived off her roof onto a passing truck.
Faith spent several months in a coma,
missing the Mayor's ascension, his destruction at the hands of Buffy and most of
Sunnydale High, and of course graduation. On recovering, and discovering
her 'orphaned' and watcherless status, she went after Buffy and enjoyed a few
days literally in the other Slayer's skin, thanks to a magical device left to
her by the mayor. Realising that she couldn't defeat Buffy, she fled to LA
and took on the next best thing: a contract to kill Angel. Defeated again, she
finally gave herself up to the authorities, and is currently in jail.
