Faye is all woman, the best and worst of her breed, an unflinching force of nature. She's lazy and indulgent, wields all her weapons--including her body--with expertise, and protects her vulnerabilities with a fiery venom. She's got most of the mortal sins down to an art form, and juggles them pretty equally. Without a past to serve as her foundation--and not trusting in any sort of future--she scrapes out a life in the present, taking what she wants and fighting to keep it out of the hands of others. Faye is a true survivalist by practice and a bon vivant at heart--full of secrets, deceptions, and not a whole lot of trust.

Behind the gambling, the drinking, and the smoking however, is a little girl that she desperately pretends doesn't exist. She can't remember her, so she reasons that she must not need her. She's a big girl, of course, too independent to need a home and too tough to get attached to something like friends, so...she abandons and lies to others before they get the chance to do so to her. When she first woke up with no memory to guide her, she woke up as a child. Easy prey. Since then, she has fought to grow up and run as fast as she can...and she quickly discovered that she was very good at it. Faye is a master of evasion and reinvention, constantly playing a game with herself and the world, all to ignore the fact that she has no core. Faye is hollow inside, without a past or reason to be.

Her time spent on the Bebop certainly changed her--how couldn't it?--but it was short-lived and her heart was ultimately broken again. Before landing in Paradisa, she had been sent drifting once more, even more reluctant to put down any sort of roots again. And, she decided, she was okay with that. It was what she had always done, it was fate. But, then the Castle snatched her up and is now forcing her to endure the pushing of her life's 'reset' button, yet again.

ProgressEdit

---Relationships

Spike -- Still getting used to the fact that her dead friend is really back and seems to be sticking around for a little while. They've already gone through a lot since he's shown up, and it's even starting to distract from everything that came before. She put him up for sacrifice when she turned into an Apostle, and nearly killed him... but after shooting her, sabotaging her ship and making it crash, nearly killing her (twice) with a magical object, and hitting her, they're just about even.

Edward -- Will always act like the girl drives her crazy...but, really, she watches out for her and is glad she's around. Ed reminds her of the Bebop, and Faye's secretly glad that she's somewhere that she can keep an eye on her.

Jet Black -- The final crew member to appear in the castle, and right in the middle of a ridiculous point of chaos. Maybe he can straighten Spike out, now.

Crowley -- After a long and sordid friendship, full of alcohol-abuse and trickery, surviving ridiculous trials such as hate-filled fights in which he threw Hellfire at her face, and rampaging through the town as demons together, their relationship has suddenly hit an interesting point. Moving on from Castiel, he has surprised her with acknowledging and returning her feelings, they hooked up... and now she is terrified. She has no idea where this is going.

Barney -- This guy's alright. Quite alright, in fact. Snappy dresser, obsessive gambler, great flirt. All very good points in Faye's book. One of her very best friends, and she's proud to hold the title of Wingman. ...Though, things may have gotten a little complicated due to them hooking up while she was under Eris' influence. Oops.

Zelman Clock -- Very intrigued and somewhat unnerved by him. Finds herself confiding in him more than she probably should. Serves as her magical cigarette lighter if Crowley isn't around. Is less frightened of him than she should be, after they were both rampaging monsters during the demon event.

Joshua Christopher -- Joshua is technically the person that she has known the longest in the castle. She is terrified of him, the result of him Stopping several people in the castle, and then torturing her and breaking her hand in retribution for her 'betraying' him. Even so, she still can't help but look out for the kid that she knows is trapped in there, and gets him presents for his birthday and such, when she can't avoid him.

Rory -- Thanks to that whole demon thing, he's like that awkward little brother that you can't help but pick on and don't want to be seen with around your friends. But he's still your brother.

Tobias -- Weird little hawk, who she can't help but think of as a little brother after the whole demon thing.

Faith -- Kindred spirit... to kind of a frightening degree sometimes. Hooked up with her during Eris' week of chaos! They... don't bring out the best in each other.

Eunice -- Fellow cowgirl. Badass and classy. One of the few girls she still gets along with.

Sister -- There is something seriously wrong with this chick. Sister is like a train wreck though...Faye is horrified but can't look away. And after hearing that Sister never had many girl friends to hang out with, she's kind of taken her up as a friend.

Molotov -- Technically employed as a Black Heart. Get along great as long as they're not in some sort of competition with one another.

Brock -- Great flirting partner; made out with him because of Christmas doves. As soon as she figures out that hitting on him bothers Spike, it's only going to get worse.

Mat -- A little young for her taste, but the guy's a good flirt, gives her attention, and is a fan of cards. Can't be too bad, right?

Tyki -- A hot creeper that she hooked up with during Eris' week of chaos. Oops.

Ares -- An arrogant, cocky, self-absorbed immortal being. ...Just her type!

Question -- Tried to get her to stop smoking on the trip, and it didn't work. Afterward, she found out he might be a pretty decent guy. Flirted with him when he bid on her at the bachelorette auction, and made out with him during the Christmas doves.

John Marston -- A real cowboy! ...Who seems to be immune to her advances. What is this.

Abel Nightroad -- Met when he gave her money and a safe place to stay in LA, bonded over a mutual love of teasing Crowley. Then saw him nearly kill Joshua as a monster, and attacked him while she was a demon... so there's a weird 'monster' understanding between them.

Jr. -- Thought he was cool, one of those people you just kinda click with. They have guns, machines, space-travel, and the fact that they're older than they look, in common. ...But then the demon thing happened, and Jr. has insisted on insulting and hating her since. The fact that he flipped out during Eris' week of chaos, shooting her and striking her with lightning, certainly doesn't help.

Zoe -- It's hard to find capable and sufficiently badass females around here, especially those who know the pain of not being able to fly. Unfortunately, Zoe shot her in the face while she was a demon, and then they made out at Christmas thanks to those doves. ...Things have been awkward since.

Jilly -- Though this mutual acquaintance of Crowley and Barney was alright... and then she attacked her and everyone else in Caritas as a demon. Afterward Jilly slapped her. And then Jilly found her being super-indulgent during Eris' week of chaos. Pretty much just assumes that Jilly hates her, and avoids her when she can.

Death the Kid -- Kid drives her up the wall, she does the same to him when she can...but has to admit that he's very handy in a fight. Would never admit it, but she's alright with him.

Yuan -- The 'fearless leader' of Group 4. Would never acknowledge his authority, of course, especially not to his face... but she's kinda gotta respect the guy. He put up with their group more than most people would, and he seems like a smart guy. And then she attacked him during the whole demon thing, ans has been avoiding him since

Eleventh Doctor -- Well. She almost drowned him in the swamp. But, he saved her when she was covered in spiders, so there must be no hard feelings.

Travis Touchdown -- An obnoxious asshole, but there's something about him that Faye kind of digs. He invented Trick-or-Beer and magical sweet lemonade, and with Faye's budding alcoholism, well...yeah. Even though he attacked her while he was on a loss, nearly killing her, she really really missed him when he left.

Batman (Terry) -- Would love to sabotage his ship. Or kick him in the nuts. Or have him admit that he was wrong for shooting her down, so they could go flying sometime.

Went Home

Griffith -- The monster who was, in her mind at least, the cause of the whole demon thing. Got to shoot him before he went home

Souji -- Was one of her 'brothers' as an Apostle.

Tasslehoff -- ....No. Get out. Threw his prized possession into a swamp, and would gladly do it again.

Wisely -- Knew what it was like to wake up in the same bed with him for a week ...Is still not happy about this fact. But, liked the attention, and loved stringing him along and messing with him.

Cloud -- Really didn't know much about this guy. Was so quiet and straight-faced that he tended to slide under her radar, but the fact that he talked to her so many times stuck out in her mind. She was curious about him.

Captain Hammer -- Was utterly laughable, but really useful for pranking purposes.

Apollo -- Had him bookmarked in her mind as the perfect mark. Was also not all that bad to hang around, even if their views on the world could not have been more different.

Castiel -- Crowley's 'boyfriend.' Was not impressed.

Joan -- Classy women need to stick together. Still owes her a girl's night out, after that pesky kidnapping thing got in the way.

Howl -- Finds this wizard amusing, and can't help but enjoy a good flirting outlet.

Dio -- Is somewhat unnerved by his directness and other things she really can't name, but found him interesting and exciting company.

Luki -- Called Crowley "Grandpa." 'Nuff said.

Kate Bishop -- Regularly trained with Kate, exchanging her instinctual brawling and gun skills for Kate's honed hand-to-hand skill. Bought the under-ager drinks in LA.

Mouse -- Partner in crime. Used her as a wallet in LA.

---Inventory and Such

Redtail -- Faye received her zipcraft, Redtail, for Christmas. It is a highly maneuverable and versatile single-person craft, outfitted with a range of weaponry and combat equipment, built for both atmospheric and space travel. Further specs to come later?

Ashtray -- From the Lost Room, a standard clear square glass ashtray w/ beveled corners. Turns anything dropped into it into diamonds!

Plants -- Has four plants that she won from Crowley in the drunken Blackjack game that followed Spike's leaving. Ed, Ein, Jet, and The Other One .
Later received another from Crowley as a Christmas present.

Necklace -- After shooting Crowley with an enchanted arrow on Valentines Day, he got her the perfect present. Despite the fallout afterwards, she loves that necklace

Kid -- Her and Wisely had a child for a week, a bratty little runt named Jack

---Stuff that Happened Older History

Turns into a cat for a few days!

Ends up staying an extra couple days to look at a mysterious tank with Jr.
Nightmare plot, Faye's bitchiness reaches a new level.
Riful kidnaps Crowley and a bunch of other people, Faye gets over herself long enough to join the fight with the Redtail and save his ass.

Gets stuck with Wisely and their child Jack for a week. ...It was a very weird week. Joshua also threatens her.
