female
she/her
bisexual
deuteragonist
5'2" (157cm)
128lbs (58kg)
Pear-shaped
White
Pale with yellow undertones. Tans and freckles easily.
Naturally light blonde, but dyed crimson red
She leaves it down most of the time, with multiple small braids, hair wraps, and little handmade extensions made with yarn, feathers, and beads. it's wavy, extremely voluminous, and goes down to about her waist.
Jade green
Oval shape. Her bright and smiling eyes are the first feature to draw one's attention. Faint freckles that you can only see up close. Bow-shaped lips that constantly carry a slight smirk. Small, perked-up nose. Faceclaim
Standard lobe piercings, which she always wears earrings in (she has an entire collection of funky dangly earrings she's made herself or bought online); one cartilage piercing on her left ear and two on her right; nose stud on her left side.
Tattoos of tropical flowers and hummingbirds on her left shoulder and upper arm, which stop right around where a T-shirt sleeve would end.
She likes to draw small invert triangles (akin to clown makeup) under her eyes in eyeliner or permanent marker.
Very 90's/grunge (somewhere in between Tori Tennelli and Jess Zusak). Think thrift store clothes: faded/ripped jeans, old band T-shirts, flannel shirts, worn-out Chuck Taylors, and lots of bracelets. Spiky choker or layers of necklaces. Bold eyeliner, but no lipstick. She often wears outfits with a style very close to punk or goth but accents it with something that doesn't fit said style, such as a bright blue T-shirt wih a picture of a frog that says "little guy" over an otherwise completely black-and-white outfit.
Lawful Good / She's always there to lend a hand, no matter how small the issue. She would definitely try and sacrifice her life to save someone else's.
Faith is very friendly and optimistic, and if she does ever talk about her problems she'll turn it into a joke somehow. She's very empathetic and her emotions are very intense, e.g. if she sees someone cry, she gets teary. She loves to listen to whatever her friends may have to say but most of the time she doesn't have any advice to give them in response. When talking, she's very animated and lively, and excels in social situations, because she always seems to know exactly what to say to keep the conversation going. Kids also like her a lot.
Faith talks a lot with her hands, to the point where sometimes she's accidentally hit nearby people when talking. She also has a tendency to use hand gestures such as finger guns, thumbs ups, or peace signs in many situations. When nervous or anxious, she tends to tap her fingers rapidly on any available surface, e.g., her legs, a table or desk, a wall, etc.
Italian food, fantasy films, big sweaters, that weird period of the year between summer and fall
Reading, boats, swimming, horror movies
Social situations. She's very persuasive and charismatic.
Academics and reading. Her dyslexia heavily stunts her ability to concentrate and absorb information.
Her friends and family's happiness.
Faith is quite gullible and naive and can be easily deceived. She's prone to easily trusting people, and will believe most information given to her, regardless of how valid or truthful it is.
Deep water and distance from land. She's always been too afraid of drowning to actually learn how to swim.
Faith tends to avoid Catholic/Christian/other monotheistic people, as she's somewhat judgmental of them. Being an atheist, she thinks that people are silly to still be believing that there's a God when a lot of evidence has been provided to contradict it.
Faith avoids reading to the point where she depends heavily on others to do it for her.
She also has quite a soft spot for junk food and most of the time has to be reminded to eat something healthy.
Can play the piano and acoustic guitar. She's also pretty good at tennis, and has been playing for about three years.
Listening to music, cooking, playing the piano.
(mental) Dyslexia; trouble reading and focusing on words/schoolwork. She's severely allergic to shellfish of any kind (e.g., oysters, clams, shrimp). She tends to avoid all fish as a result.
Faith's voice is very loud and clear, and slightly nasal, and seems to rise and fall in sort of a sing-song fashion. You could definitely hear her from far away or pick her voice out from a crowd of people talking. Her laugh is deep and strong in a pleasant way, and very contagious.

Cardiff, Wales
Wales, a bit from Poland
Grew up in Wales. Her father left her and her mother when she was 4 years old and has been unable to be contacted ever since. Her mother died from pneumonia when Faith was 12 years old, and as the rest of her family either couldn’t be contacted or was dead, she was sent to her first-cousin-once-removed, Nathan, in Folsom, California.

Nathan “Nate” Pryce, her guardian and first-cousin-once-removed (mother's cousin), 26 years old.
An orange tabby cat named McLovin
"Yeah, I know I'm a pussy. But you know what they say: you are what you ea--" (trails off into laughter)
Teachers often get frustrated with Faith because of her inability to read/write at grade level (even though she’s smart in things like math and science, she has a hard time with spelling and often confuses words) and label her things like “lazy”, “dumb”, “not trying enough”, or “a behavior problem”. She changes classes a lot during the school year and most often ends up with those intervention teachers that deal with bullies.
Faith is on the high school tennis team and has played since she was 13.
Dating Tori Tennelli
Atheist
Faith is lib-left: very pro-women's rights, pro-LGBT+ rights, and anti-classism. She is more passionate about politics than she would like to admit. She also tries her best to aid the effort against climate change.
She speaks English, her native language, with a Welsh accent. She spoke Welsh as a child but eventually lost her grip on it the longer she lived in the States; she only recalls a few words at this point.
Junior high school student
