OMG YOU GUYS I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN WITH THESE!!



THE SHORT VERSION: When I'm feeling a little down, I watch a Faith episode.

"Faith. Her name alone invokes awe. "Faith". A set of principles or beliefs upon which you're willing to devote your life. The Dark Slayer. A lethal combination of beauty, power, and death."

I remember discovering Buffy, ridiculously happy about it for a reason I couldn't identify back then (do they still call it girl power?) and thinking that it couldn't possibly get better. In walked Faith. It was love at first sight.

Coming in as what was essentially The Spare, Faith takes over and rocks the scooby boat. She's messed up and she knows it, and her character arc is all about learning to forgive others and herself, learning to be okay with being Faith and not what anyone else expects her to be. Above all, her persistence- whether it's to be bad or to be...well, not bad, is the most impressive thing about her. Her left hook's nothing to sniff at either ;)

When I was like fifteen, I wanted to be Faith. I actually found a list made by my teenage self of "ways to be like Faith." She was always my favorite.

I spent pretty much the first half of season seven clutching at my hair and yelling at the screen "BUT WHAT ABOUT FAITH?" so having her come back made me doubly happy. She was just way too important a part of the mythos to be ignored, not to even mention how important she was to the show itself. (I also kind of ship Buffy/Faith, okay. At least in the sense that no one will ever convince me that they didn't have kind of a thing going in season 3.)

Faith, oh Faith. Faith will always be my favorite (and Eliza Dushku too, to be fair. I would follow her in anything).

The icons are fab and your summary is spot-on as to why Faith rocks hardcore.

Wheee another favourite of mine! Though I always had a very soft spot for Willow, Faith was the one I admired. She had no problems taking and doing what she wanted. Being authentic. :-)
Your posts make me happy. We need more of these! We tend to focus so much on the yummy male characters. I pledge to make more art of female characters!
