Faith


Played by Eliza Dushka (True Lies, Bring it On, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back).

"Now, we've only done one of the five basic torture groups.  We've done blunt - but that still leaves sharp, cold, hot and loud."

Faith, Hope and Trick
Faith first appeared in Sunnydale in the episode Faith, Hope and Trick as  the vampire slayer who replaced Kendra.  Initially Faith was an attention getter, telling wild stories and seemed to have wooed over Buffy's friends and her mom, but Buffy was suspicious of Faith's background and mental state.  Faith eventually revealed that her watcher had been brutally murdered by an ancient vampire named Kakistos and that he had come to Sunnydale to kill Faith. Faith was afraid of Kakistos and planned to leave town, but she and Buffy were ambushed.  Faith saved them both at the last moment.  In the same episode, it is also revealed that Faith's mother is deceased. 
Beauty and the Beasts Faith is mostly just watching Oz in this episode, though she does accidentally backhand Buffy.
Homecoming Faith showed that she did have a loyal side by embarrassing Scott who had dumped Buffy.
Revelations  it is shown that Faith had issues with trust and this is further ruined by Gwendoloyn Post, a woman pretending to be Faith's watcher who later betrays her, further sending Faith away.
Amends Faith accepts Buffy's invitation to spend Christmas Eve with her. 
The Zeppo Faith is helping the Scoobies stop the end of the world.  She has sex with Xander in-between battles.
Bad Girls
 In Helpless,  Giles being fired took away Faith's only authority figure. And when Wesley is introduced in Bad Girls, Buffy and Faith ran wild afterwards and the results led to Faith accidentally killing Allan Finch.  Faith pretended she wasn't feeling guilty, but she obviously was. 
Consequences
Faith told Buffy she didn't care she killed Finch and when the heat was on her, Faith told Giles that Buffy had killed Finch.  Giles did not believe her.  He was concerned over Faith's mental state and both of them decided no one would know what happened because it might push Faith over the edge.  Unfortunately Wesley was listening at the time.  Buffy took Faith to Angel and Angel tried to get though to her.  Angel was making progress when Wesley, after informing the council, took her away.  Faith broke free and Buffy went after her.  They are both attacked by Mr. Trick and Faith killed him to save Buffy.  Buffy thinks that Faith is still mentally unbalanced, but is still good.  This analogy is wrong.  In the last scene, Faith joins forces with the The Mayor. The mayor took the place of the authority figure and gave Faith anything she wanted. 
Doppelgängerland Faith continues to spy on the scoobies and inform the Mayor of what they are doing.
Enemies
In Enemies, Faith still pretends that she's good.  She steals the Books of Ascension for the Mayor. She decided to try to turn Angel into Angelus.  The Scooby Gang get wind of it and decide to lure Faith into a trap.  It worked, Faith now joins forces with the Mayor completely. 
Choices Faith kidnaps Willow, who escapes with a page from the Books of Ascension.

This Year's Girl
