{PERSONALITY}

Mature | Thoughtful | Semi-Fragile | Strong-willed | Stubborn | Hopeful | Kind | Realistic | Somewhat Clingy | Saddened | ENFP

Once upon a time, this girl was happy and looked forward to her future, until a sudden sweep of cabin fever and groundless worries swept the carpet out from underneath her. In the wake of Punishment, she seems to have regained some old semblance of herself that decreed her a leader of her region. However her smiles are still dashed and she always seems to hover around a group of people, just needing the noise to fill the silence in her mind before it drives her insane. She often seems lost in thought, yet her focus and reflexes are still on the high level of the spectrum, and any attempts to talk to her are usually encouraged, though attacking her might result in a blade to the throat and the wind out of your lungs.

If it comes to someone she dislikes, she's a lot less passive aggressive than before, and tends to make it pretty obvious that she doesn't like them.

{Region/City of Origin} Soleca, Quesantine
_{She will still refer to it as QueQue.}
{Previous Occupation} Border Patrol Freelance Hunter
_{She used to patrol the Quesantine Borders and assist in snowstorms, but when depression struck her she removed herself from it and roamed the regions as a hunter/trader.}

{HISTORY - ALPHA}

"Change your future, it will someday be your past."
Though she often says she grew up in a warm home surrounded by love, Faith cannot recall any sort of memories of a childhood in Quesantine. She has never let it bother her, however, and simply tells people what she believes and knows to be true. Her mother and father were kind parents, and it is one of Faith's greatest regrets that she never stopped in to see them before Punishment struck Quesantine and brought the mountains to their knees.

As she grew up, Faith caught wanderlust, which would often send her off into the deep snows since the age of twelve, in search of treasure or food. She grew up in cold and warm both, training her body against the frigid elements, harnessing her speed and strength for some unknown event of the future. She had a passing romance with the IMF Major Letchworth, and befriended two residents of Hien -- Yuiko and Miles -- in the times of the far past.

However Faith's life secluded to the office and region of Quesantine, with only rare visits to the outside world, eventually broke her down enough that she set out on some sort of self-search across the regions. She abandoned everything at the drop of a hat, and disappeared for the better part of a year before finally returning, a defeated woman, to her home. In her travels, she has grown somewhat wiser and more mature than the optimistic young woman she used to be, but it didn't stop her from lighting up upon reuniting with her close friend, Yuiko, and setting out as traveling partners together -- in what little time they had left.

{HISTORY - PUNISHMENT}

"I never thought I would hear the earth shatter."
Quesantine was brought down around her ears. A mass hysteria and panic, and it was sheer survival instinct from avalanche-clearing and other related travesties that struck Quesantine many times in the past that helped her get out with a sprained ankle and wrist. These were the worst of her physical wounds, though mentally she was in bad shape; having lost Yuiko in the crowds, the girl could only assume the worst had happened -- and yet clung onto some stubborn hope that she would find familiar faces trickling out of the cracks of her home, even as the echoes of destruction weighed down her mind.

Her wishes were granted, however, when the familiar face of Miles Kingsley stumbled across her camp as she struggled to light a fire and not break down into some sort of hysterical fit the first night alone. Miles, one of her few friends from the long time of the past was a sight for sore eyes, and it seemed he still hadn't lost his semi-awkward ways. Amongst the other survivors Faith found crawling out of the depths of Quesantine was Desin Altraeusa, the young man she semi-befriended during her various trips to the bar he tended to in Quesantine, before her search across the regions for herself.

They ended up traveling together much of the way across the regions to Hien, walking a familiar path Faith had trod many a time in her months soul-searching. The journey was slow, as she didn't want to push the poor bartender, who was very unused to traveling. A sense of urgency continued to push her steps to be as fast as possible... partly because she didn't have the supplies to sustain them both for the full trip, and partly out of a growing itch of some unknown feeling. Something similar associated to her entire fuzzy mixed colors of a "childhood" that she, for the life of her, can't ever remember in clarity.

Amidst the travels, the two spirits ended up bonding with each other more than the short visits to the bar. The bonding took their hint of a friendship into something more within the two months of travel. However just as it started, it was abruptly put on hold when events forced them to become separated somewhere in the midst of Lerise, just outside of the reach of the boats that were going to Hien. Assuming Desin had perished, or would perish while separated, and finding no viable way to find him, she staggered on alone, clinging to the hope that he would turn up in camp -- along with a few other familiar faces she held so dear.

{HISTORY - BETA I}

"We're Vanguard, we have a job to do."
The beginning of her time in camp started out... rough, to say the least. Maybe a day or two into arrival and assignment into the Vanguard Division, Faith came to find that Yuiko had perished in Punishment. Her discovering of this was what gave her enough time spent at the board to encounter one of the Division Leaders -- Trodes Kallow. He gave her a short tour of the camp, and to be honest, it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Her life in camp began slowly, helping some new people get their bearings in the camp, confiscating the weapons as instructed -- unless they proved to be part of Vanguard like she. She reunited amidst much happy tears and smiles with her friend Camellia, and reacquainted herself to the shopkeep Elise Ross, and the adventurer Neva Aurora. Cleaning out the apartments gained her an acquaintance with Aster Merryweather, Arliu Harazkaiewicks, Jai Sachdev, and Aen Evoume... as well as an unpleasant first encounter with Kazimir Ulrich.

More days were spent alone, still bugging Trodes or going out on patrols -- one of them leading her to meet an AI by the name of Sullivan -- but her insomnia steadily increased. Ascot's face turned up on the MIA list, Miles wasn't at camp, Desin wasn't at camp... slowly the girl lost herself to worry until she plumb passed out one day. On this fateful day, a small group of people staggered into camp, and with excitement, Camellia dashed off to find the girl when someone asked around for her. To the immense uplift of her spirit and mood, Desin had made it to camp, a little banged up... but he was alive. That's what mattered.

The rest of the days since then have continued to move in a blur. Faith has sparred with Kazimir and got choked for it. She's met others in camp here and there -- and gotten closer with her friendship to Trodes... enough that they've been elevated to the level of friends who can casually insult each other and bicker all the time, but are also seen around each other a lot. A spar with him once led to a bruised and bloody nose, and a Trodes freaking out... leading her to believe he was a hemophobe.

A few missions following this turned bloody, and quick. The Infamous Alfred succeeded in nearly killing Faith during one mission, and in spite of being bandaged and cleaned up, and safely held by Desin, the girl had a hard time recovering and had to spend a few weeks in Healthcare under critical eye. Time was spent bonding with Trodes, Aikia (a fellow Vanguard member), and Neva when they visited, as well as having Desin's hawk eyes watching her every movement. Not long after being discharged, she went on a scavenging errand with Cam, Trodes, Aikia, Neva, and Aster -- whereupon they were ambushed and nearly gunned down. Faith took a bullet to her arm, reopening a healing wound as she stood her ground. In spite of her own bloody situation, she helped to take care of the wounded before going back to camp.

At the risk of safety and insistence of others, Faith will probably lay low and stick close to the camp for a while...
