Buffy who is faith

But once again tragedy struck as Faith would find out her mother was dead. But also her nightmares would intensify and have fights with her imaginary friend. She would eventually would be possessed by Artemia who while in Faith's body went after Kakistos and his people to avenge herself. With the help of Kenny and Diana, her spirit was exorcised from Faith. However Kakistos was pissed. He never knew she was possessed by one of his past victims and went out and kidnaped Diana to lure Faith into a trap.

To an extent the trap worked. Once she showed up he sliced her in half and a battle ensued and his face was permanently wounded by Faith in battle. Soon after she met up with her imaginary friend one last time and it was revealed that she was the daughter of the slayer that possessed Faith and she was helping her avenge her mother's death. Her imaginary friend vanished, never to be seen again. She would eventually arrive in Sunnydale soon after Kendra's death, caused by Drusilla.

Upon Faith's arrival, she killed a vampire outside of The Bronze with Buffy's stake. Shortly after, Faith met the entire Scooby Gang. It was strange and refreshing to her that people were this close to each other. It's something Faith never had. When she met Rupert Giles, she always envied Buffy for having him as a watcher. Kakistos caught up with Faith in Sunnydale and he had a new minion, Mr.

At first, Faith hesitated out of fear to face the ancient vampire and his minions. With the help of Buffy, she staked him. Over time Faith was hanging out with The Scoobies and even slaying with them.

She claimed to be Faith's watcher, but was really after this glove with ultimate power. They eventually killed Gwen, but between her betrayal and Buffy hiding the fact that Angel was back, she lost her faith in humanity once again for she was lied to and used They patch things up during Christmas.

However things between her and the Scoobies was once again copacetic. She even helped them destroy the Hellmouth demon and on the same night had taken Xander's virginity. Rupert Giles was fired due to him not participating in a barbaric right-of-passage tradition so Wesley Wyndam-Pryce was placed as Faith and Buffy's watcher.

Faith and Buffy went out on a night of reckless behavior. They were having fun slaying, stealing and other not-so-legal activities, that is until Faith committed manslaughter on Deputy Mayor Allan Finch and denies the whole thing. She even went as far as putting the blame on Buffy when she rightfully suspected that Buffy couldn't keep it under her hat.

Xander foolishly thought he could talk some sense into her. Faith almost killed him but Angel saved him, knocking her out. Angel later was talking to Faith. He could relate to her because of his years of being Angelus, the criminally insane soulless vampire who's killings were second to none. His talks nearly worked until Wesley in an ill-advised attempt to take in Faith to the council. At that moment, she was completely withdrawn from everyone.

No one knew the extent of that. No one knew she decided to work for evil. She went to the Mayor whom she discovered was current big bad and offered her services to him. Faith for a time was a double agent, feeding all sorts of knowledge to him.

He put her up into an apartment, gave her money, comics, cookies, and even a PlayStation. He was like the father she never had. He genuinely loved Faith and never used her. However in a sting operation set-up by Buffy, Giles, and Angel, her true loyalties were exposed. Faith then openly commits acts of murder and helps him collect items for his ascension. Faith would try to kill Angel with a poison, a poison which would be cured only with a blood of a slayer. Buffy went over to her apartment and tried to kill her and bring Angel her body to snack on.

But Faith didn't allow herself to be taken. She backed up off a ledge and fell onto a truck and slipped into a coma for eight months. She would share dreams with Buffy. Faith woke up after a violent nightmare of Buffy trying to kill her. She would find out that the ascension was a failure. The mayor, another father figure was killed.

Faith was in another bloodrage vengeance mode again. She lost another parental figure. She would go after the one person who killed her fatherly figure However, in one of his last acts, the mayor, in case he lost took steps that Faith can ensure her vengeance.

He gave her a mystical device that would switch their souls. Buffy took her life, so Faith figured she would take hers in return. And she did. She switched their bodies. But the experience was strange. She felt loved by everyone, by Buffy's friends, her family, her watcher and even her boyfriend Riley Finn. This all threw her off. She had these 'what have I done' feelings and saw herself as a monster.

She tried to flee town but she found out a vampire gang was going to kill a church full of people under the command of the demonoid, Adam. She rushed to that church and killed most of the vampires, except one. He was nearly killing her until Buffy, in Faith's body staked him.

Faith in a rage attacked Buffy and then Buffy with her own mystical device switched them back. Faith once again was on the run. Faith torturing Wesley. No one knows. Faith frequently proved herself to be impulsive. For example, when she and Xander found Giles unconscious, Faith immediately assumed that Angel was responsible despite Xander's reservations. Nonetheless, she had a deep yearning for a family. This yearning had caused her to be used by so many people so readily because of her desperation for someone to be there for her, something Faith had bitterly mocked over in a fit of distress and pain.

Giles had taken note of this during his time with Faith, describing her as showing hostility to those she didn't trust or didn't know but on the one hand, she would display extreme loyalty to those who were close to her and those who cared for her. In her role as Angel's partner, Faith showed a more cautious and responsible side to herself, recognizing the danger of her old impulsive nature, serving as Angel's sounding board to ensure that he didn't repeat his mistakes as Twilight by taking it upon himself to cross lines that he should have left alone.

She developed a more mature aspect than when she was younger, using her knowledge of atonement and the thrill of killing to rehabilitate slayers who needed a purpose in life or in the case of Nadira, stop before going down the path of evil and murder that had almost destroyed her. Through her maturity, Faith's natural promiscuous tendencies with men began to dull slightly.

After drinking together with some guys, Faith realized she didn't sleep with any of them and light-heartedly said she couldn't tell if she maturing or just getting used to being rich. Soon after, when he mentioned she wasn't as fun as she was before, Faith somewhat sarcastically responded with "Turns out I matured. However, it was revealed that she still carried a surprising degree of self-loathing over herself and that some part of her believed that she deserved every bad thing that had happened to her still despite her time in prison and efforts to atone.

Faith had usually hidden and repressed it with a casual, almost carefree demeanor. After the return of her father and when she had impulsively cut off a man's arm without thinking, Faith suffered a severe lapse in judgment. Overcome with unworthiness, guilt, and a belief that she would never be anything but a murderer, she in a moment of weakness went to Drusilla to remove her pain.

Angel had eventually made her come to her senses and restore her determination to live through the pain, telling her that he admired her strength at coping with her past. Faith was a young woman with dark brown hair and eyes, standing at 5'5 tall.

Her hair was either in loose ringlets or flat. Prior to her reformation, Faith's look typically involved namely leather jeans and jackets and tight tops, often in dark clothes. Her makeup was often dark and had red or maroon lipstick, and she would wear accessories ranging from chain necklaces and chokers to belted bracelets and studded belts.

During her coma, her hair grew longer and became noticeably wavy and lighter. After reforming, Faith's appearance changed: she took to wearing more color and her makeup became lighter. Notably, Faith possessed a tattoo on her right arm. Faith was a Slayer, and thus had the usual powers of such, including a healing factor and superhuman strength, speed, durability, and reflexes.

In her earliest days as a Slayer, Faith employed a more brawler-type fighting style than Buffy, who was more prone to Asian martial arts. Faith tended to be more aggressive and reckless, using her Slayer brute strength rather than speed or agility as Buffy did. Due to their identical powers, Buffy and Faith were evenly matched in their various brawls until Buffy narrowly bested her.

Over time and as she matured and stabilized, Faith developed a more well-rounded fighting style. She showed herself to have equal or superior fighting skills to Angelus and defeated him despite being drugged and pulling her punches during her fight with him. Faith was also able to easily take out Connor. Also while in London mentoring displaced Slayers, Faith was the only one who was able to defeat an enraged Nadira whereas a squad of fully trained Slayers couldn't handle her.

Before initially coming to Sunnydale, Faith experienced a number of failed relationships with "losers" who destroyed her confidence in men. Romantic and sexual liaisons aside, Faith's most profound relationships were formed with paternal or maternal figures who she quickly latched onto. The most obvious example of this was the Mayor, although prior to her alliance with him, Faith fell into similar situations with her watchers. Over the years, she eventually formed a stable relationship with Buffy's former watcher, Rupert Giles, seeing him as the best father figure she ever had.

Faith however somewhat moved past this, still wanting a father figure but no longer willing to allow herself to place her morals and ethics second. The bond that Faith shared with her fellow Slayer was complex and unique. They had unique insight into each other's personality and the burdens that they shared, but they disagreed about what it meant to be a Slayer. Buffy was alienated by Faith's enthusiasm for violence and lack of responsibility, and Faith did not understand why Buffy compartmentalized her destiny as if it were a job.

The First Evil later commented that Faith always wanted Buffy to love her. Additionally, Faith was jealous of the life Buffy led, surrounded by friends and family. Buffy, never one for rules herself, was somewhat drawn to Faith's rebellious nature, but was horrified when Faith descended into reckless abandon and accidentally killed a man. During these dreams Faith gave Buffy a clue to the Mayor's weakness and predicted the appearance of Dawn.

After eight months in a coma, Faith set out to wreak her revenge on Buffy for ruining her life "That's the thing about a coma. You wake up all rested and rejuvenated and ready for payback". In the very last stages of her coma, Faith had nightmares of Buffy coming to kill her again. Faith was outraged that Buffy had started a relationship with Riley when she had tried to kill her to save Angel's life, reducing her "death" as meaningless damage.

She mocked and provoked Buffy on the UC Sunnydale grounds, rejecting her attempts to reach out and help her. After a brief fight, Faith reminded her that she would get payback. When Faith later tied up Joyce. Faith ranted to her how Buffy had forgotten about Joyce and would not come back to help her.

She connected this to herself even more strongly, angrily noting how Buffy had forgotten about her and moved on with her life without any need for either of them.

This heavily implied that most of Faith's anger and desire to ruin her life came from feeling abandoned and a lack of appreciation from Buffy herself. Faith's jealousy of Buffy's life culminated when she stole Buffy's body by swapping bodies with Buffy.

She enjoyed taking advantage of the perks of having her body, though acted like Buffy poorly in many ways. Faith blew off the responsibilities Buffy so highly valued and mocked her "self-righteous, goody-two-shoes" behavior several times. She still strongly stuck to her initial views on Buffy's serious and "joyless" demeanor, describing her contemptuously as a "stuck-up tight ass with no sense of fun" to a thoroughly confused Spike.

Faith had no qualms at all for taking advantage of Buffy's body to seduce and sleep with her boyfriend for "payback. However, it was brief. Faith furiously punched Buffy almost instantly when they ran into each other to save the people in the church, projecting her self-hate over herself on the body Buffy was in. After the body swap was reversed, a tired and beaten Faith stole away on a train to Los Angeles.

After being taken in and comforted by Angel to come to terms with her guilt and the good still inside her, Faith was shown to be most upset and regretful over what she had done to Buffy. She said that Buffy was the first person who ever really tried to help her and be a friend, yet she had given her nothing in return.

Buffy was furious after her "body swap" act and believed Faith incapable of redemption or remorse. Faith tried to apologize to her, only for Buffy to angrily threaten her. Buffy's animosity towards Faith increased when Angel jumped between them and defended Faith.

Faith and Buffy had an angry confrontation on the rooftop in LA. While Buffy continued to lash out at her for taking everyone important away from her and pushing her away every time she tried to help her, Faith argued that Buffy couldn't understand what it was like to be lost, and have nothing but pain and hate in life.

Again, Faith tried desperately to get Buffy to forgive her or at least allow her to make things right, but before getting an answer, the Council attacked. Despite the anger Buffy held towards Faith, when the Council attacked Faith, Buffy willingly fought by her side to protect her and personally took out one of the team. In the end, Faith turned herself in and went to prison as punishment for her crimes, including murder.

Buffy had wanted this from the start, but never expected Faith would do it willingly. When Faith returned to Sunnydale to help fight the First Evil, Buffy again accepted her as an ally although not before punching her.

Faith tried to follow Buffy's lead, and was hesitant to become the leader after a brief mutiny against Buffy. However, Buffy surprised Faith by encouraging her to embrace the leadership role. After Buffy and the gang were reconciled, Buffy and Faith discussed their contentious history, and Faith concluded that the reason they had never gotten along was because two Slayers were never meant to exist at the same time.

With this, Buffy and Faith finally made peace. However, when Buffy was transported to London where Faith had gone undercover in order to defeat a homicidal Slayer, she jumped to the conclusion that Faith had turned evil again and proceeded to attack her with Faith getting the upper hand and nearly killing her in an act of desperation.

Later, Buffy and Faith made peace again when they were forced to get rid of their powers, appearing to finally develop a somewhat strained friendship. After the destruction of the Seed of Wonder , Faith told one of the Slayers she guided that her relationship with Buffy was "complicated. Frustrated, Buffy promptly hung up on her. At the occasion, Buffy received her amicably and invited her to stay, [82] although Faith couldn't help but feeling left out by Giles's choice in staying with Buffy.

Happily surprised by her arrival, Buffy hugged her, to much of Faith's discomfort, and gave her the Scythe, while Faith promised it would be temporary.

Suddenly wondering where that expression comes from. Angel : Look, I-I don't need to see movies to get worked up. Just being around you does that just fine.

Safe as houses.

Faith : [entering] Check out the lust bunnies. Buffy Summers : Patrol? Angel : The council has you back on active duty? Faith : Finally. They want us down by Mercer. Buffy Summers : Okay. Buffy Summers : Good night. Angel : I'll see you soon. Faith : Don't worry, big guy.
