| Faith is the Slayer that was called after Kendra was killed by Drusilla. She is one troubled girl. Her Watcher (a woman) was killed by a vampire named Kakistos, and Faith witnessed it � then ran away, bringing her lots of guilt. She's from Boston, and her mother was supposedly a alcoholic but is now dead. Faith enjoys slaying more than Buffy does, and she is quite sure that being a Slayer makes her better than everybody else. She also believes that the federal law is a complete joke. After Faith accidentally killed the Deputy Mayor, she went to the Mayor himself, offering to help him with her Slayer abilities, and they developed a close (sort of father/daughter) relationship. She was then officially a rogue Slayer. When Angel pretended to have been turned back into Angelus, Faith was eager to team up with him (in more ways than one) and torture Buffy, and we soon learned about her large jealousy of Buffy. Later, Faith shot Angel with a poison arrow, for which the cure turned out to be the blood of a Slayer. Buffy intended to feed Faith to Angel, but while having a long and gruelling battle,ended up putting her in a coma instead. Faith remained in a coma until February, 2000 � when she woke up and went seeking revenge against Buffy. She used a device given to her by the now dead Mayor, which allowed her to switch bodies with Buffy, and ended up fooling Buffy's mom, the gang, and even Riley while Buffy was sent to the Watcher's Council in Faith's place. The experience was difficult for Faith, as she seemed to realize how unhappy she was with herself. She headed to Los Angeles and was hired by Wolfram and Heart to kill Angel, but instead she tried to get Angel to kill her. He wouldn't, and took her under his care until she turned herself in to the Police Department (she was wanted for crimes presumably including assault and murder). She was incarcerated in an LA prison until Wesley helped break her free to help with all of the havoc that was happening around the time when Angel lost his soul again. She then went back to Sunnydale to help Buffy defeat the First. |
