Five by five

APPEARANCE

Hair; Straight, brown hair that reaches just passed her shoulders, generally she keeps it down but occasionlly puts it up into a messy bun when she is alone.
Eyes; Brown eyes, doe eyed.
Height; Five foot six approx.
Body Type; Faith is relatively slender, easily mistaken to be frail by her petite frame. Her muscles are, however, lightly defined in her arms and stomach.
Dress Sense; Faith prefers to wear darker clothing as a rule, leather, denim and the occasional shirt or top is what her wardrobe consists of mainly. She doesn't own any dresses other than the pink one that the mayor got her, but she keeps it hidden, afraid that the scoobies would think her evil. Her footwear is usually boots, Dr Martins is she's patrolling or trainers or heeled boots otherwise.

General Appearance; Faith is a stereotypical dark beauty to the unknowing eye, with her slender looks and dark eyes people would be forgiven for thinking that she would have nothing to do with Demons or the evil of the Hellmouth. She wears tight fitting clothes and often flaunts her body. Being relatively short is another reason people tend to mistake her for weak, which is their downfall.
Two years in prison has left her thinner than she was previously and she would swear that her eyes have darkened, she doesn't talk about the experience to anyone. Her face is usually outlined with dark make up, eyeliner for the eyes and a solid lipstick. She's grown into her looks more however, instead of looking like a confused girl as she once did, she now looks more self assured, having found who she was finally.

Strengths;

• Slayer powers - she's stronger, faster and more agile than humans and most vampires.
  
• Not easily fooled/street smarts - She knows what the world is like, the ways of it and it takes a lot to pull the wool over her eyes.
  
• Lying - A skill she's perfected throughout her life, if she wants you to believe something then you most likely will. The most common line is 'I'm fine' although sometimes you can tell that she isn't, but you'd have to know her pretty well.

Weaknesses;

• Craves a father figure - Having never had anyone to act as a father to her since George Patrick Lehane was incarcerated for most of her childhood, she has since been subconsiously looking for someone to fill that blank. She found a mother in her previous watcher, Diana Dormer. This has been shown with Richard Wilkins, the only person Faith believes to have truly cared for her other than Angel.
  
• Doesn't trust easily - Having had her emotions played with so often in the past she now closes herself off to most if not all displays of affection.
  
• Insecure - Faith has always been relatively insecure underneath the bravado she upholds, now she feels it more though. Having to fill Buffy's boots is hard, not the slaying, she can do that, but her friends. Although some of the Scoobies try and act nicely towards her she's paranoid that they all loathe her secretly, Dawn in particular.

A Secret; She misses Richard Wilkins, most likely scenario is that she would go back and do it all again given the chance. She wouldn't bring him back, it's too dangerous, but she longs to. Also, she she despises Buffy for dying, taking the easy way out of it all and leaving her behind.

General Personality; When other people are around Faith is a carefree character, acting as if nothing bad has ever happened to her and laughing over anything serious that may come up. She makes a lot of inappropriate comments (usually sexual) towards anyone she meets, even if she has no interest in them. Joking over things is her way of coping, she fears that is she should open up to everyone and tell them how she feels for a second she'll fall apart.
On her own Faith's character changes completely, she trades her leather and denim for pyjamas and an old movie and lets everything go, except for one thing. She never cries. She won't allow herself to cry about anything, no matter how hard things get. The last time she cried was with Angel and she curses herself for it.

HISTORY

Faith Lehane grew up in Boston, America with her mother and whoever Ms Lehane decided to date that week. Her father was incarcerated for a crime that he still swears blindly that he didn't do and so Faith had to make do with what she had. Her mother was never at home, always out with someone, as time went on that person would consistently be Gable. She failed most classes at school, often not bothering to turn up seeing as she had no friend there to speak of other than her best friend Tommy. She remembers little about Gable other than one night, which he came to her room offering her diamond earrings, expecting a whole lot more than she wanted to give. One day she was Tommy being beaten up by some boys and went in to help him, she blacked out, not remembering anything that happened but the boys were beaten up badly and Tommy refused to speak to her. After this she was suspended from school, after that she went into care home after care home (although there was never much care) until she killed a vampire, not realising who it was, the sons of one of the families she was with, she opened the curtains and he burned up.
She remembers running a lot after this, away from people, with people, heading towards nowhere in particular. Including Ronnie, Deadbeat. She found friends and then left them, settling for a small amount of time with Steve and his flatmate, before finding out that all the fancy dinners he took her to and all the nice gifts were stolen. Steve, Klepto. She saw her mother finally one day, after not seeing her since before she was suspended and she was offering her self up to someone, prostitute, Gale watching greedily and she remember feeling angry, incredibly angry. After this she went into a psychiatric hospital, Belmount Center. She was violently dangerous and kept blacking out and doing things she couldn't remember, hurting people. Her dreams about Alex became more vivid, her imaginary friend since she was younger, except it was more than imaginary now. She found Kenny (formerly Killian) here, he was recovering from drugs and she had been a firm lover of his band. One day she was released, out of the blue, by Professor Diana Dormer, her new watcher.
After Diana her life got better, she had decent food and a place to stay, training and she had found Kenny again and the two were dating properly. Until she was called, after that things got messy. She broke up with Kenny after seeing him with tulpa's of his ex girlfriend. (Kenny could create Tulpa's, clones of people) Kenny, Drummer. She then got worried when Diana didn't come home from the university, she was never late. After searching she found her, with him, Kakistos. He had been invading her dreams for a long time, making her feel like one of his girls. Marking her with his mark. Her tattoo. He captured her and dumped her in a cellar underground with many other people, a cell to herself. She began getting weak from lack of food and sunlight and was ready to give up, to let him take her when she saw Alex. In reality, beaten and bloody and she gave her the strength to fight him. She killed Kakistos, her watcher dying in the process.
After reaching Sunnydale she met up with the new slayer and her friends, never quite fitting in, but it was okay until she killed a man. Accidentally, but things spiralled from there on, she allied herself with darkness and the Mayor and fought against the scoobies until she body swapped with Buffy, leaving as she realised that Buffy finally understood what it was like to be her and fleeing to Los Angeles where she planned on getting Angel to kill her. Fortunately he didn't, instead he rehabilitated her and tried to help her, wanting to keep her with him until she left and handed herself into the police.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Faith is the slayer of Sunnydale now, fitting into Buffy's old place the best she can and trying to do her best. She's older than she was before and still trying to redeem herself for past crimes.
In the future I'd like to see her maybe get a love interest and fit in with the scoobies finally.

RP Sample -"Yeah but were sure to find out eventually, I'll get Will onto it we need to set up everyone in a meeting." Faith thought out loud and tried to think of what she could do to get them to all come to their way of seeing things. It was going to take a lot to make them realise how far "Buffy" would go to hurt them. She didn't simply mean physical pain she meant emotional pain that wracked your body and stopped your head from thinking straight without subconsiously going off track. Faith knew all about this, most of the few people who had looked out for the brunette had died, most recently was probably Mayor Richard Wilkins the third, despite how evil he had been he had always looked out for the brunettes better interests and he loved her as if she were his own daughter, constantly telling her off with his old fashioned thoughts and appraising her for her modern thoughts. The man was a complete conridiction to himself and everything he said but she had respected him all the same. He was the closest thing to a proper father that she had.

"The library would be best I reckon, enough space to keep them in and plenty or reading material for Will and you bookworms." The brunette felt a buzz inher pocket and took out her mobile, unlocking it and looking at the picture that was presented before her. Giles. Her thought were confirmed as her eyes scanned across the image, seeing a few familiar things and some different. If there was anything good about the situation it would be that she at least knew that the English watcher was alive and err maybe not kicking but alive certainly.

"Could have done video B, way better." She mused sarcastically still looking over the picture, her eyes ghosted by images of Wesley when she had done the same. Except she hadn't been all that bad to her previous watcher, she could have done a lot worse. Shaking her head for the final time moved the mobile backwards and forwards for a second and then passed it to the brooding vampire infront of her.

"Well he's alive, the cuts can't kill him like that their just shallow cuts... making sure he'll stay consious." The rouge gulped and looked away from Angel. The intire situation felt too close to home for her to be okay with it, she would usually be able to see this in a detached veiw but not now, not when she could hear every thought that she knew would be going through Buffy's head at that very second. She closed her eyes, the image seemed to be glued insde her eyelids and she noticed something, electrical wires. Not the type you used to get light in your apartment, more the typre you attatched to people and... well, didn't exactly do anything nice to them then she'll say. But they weren't a high enough voltage to hurt him either, just lightly electrocute, ensure he would be more consious then simple cutting would create.

"He'll have pain all over, she missed that fact obviously. It will be sort of numb instead of being inside so much pain." She told him as if it were some sort of consolation to the entire situation. Even though she was pretty sure that Angel already knew this, he wasn't do bad at tortue afterall. Even if she didn't know this firsthand she could tell that he was remembering killing people aswell, and these imaged were simply bringing things even closer to the front of their minds.
