β€œWhen I was a kid, I used to beg my mom for a dog. Didn't matter what kind. I just wanted, you know, something to love. A dog's all I wanted. Well, that and toys. But mom was so busy, you know, enjoying the drinking and passing out parts of life, that I never really got what I wanted.”

(1) Faith was born in South Boston, Massachusetts, to alcoholic mother (Isobel "Izzy" ) and father (George Patrick "Pat").
Her father was barely around, doing time in jail and owing money to an Irish mob. For a long time Faith believed he was dead.
Her mother was neglectful, often leaving Faith with strangers she'd brought home, or to fend for herself.
Faith has mixed feelings about her parents, she used to wear her father's Drew Bledsoe jersey from the New England Patriots and remembers her mom reading Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go! before bed. "Nights she was sober enough, anyway."
When she was a kid, Faith and other children used to swim and jump off the rock of a quarry a couple of miles outside of Boston. She was the only one who would jump off a rock 40 feet up, while the older kids were too scared to do so. In high school, Faith was suspended a number of times for getting into fights. She didn't have any real friends and later dropped out.
Her only companion was an imaginary friend named Alex, who had been with her since very young. Alex helped her escape into a fantasy world of monsters and the supernatural, far from the real-life horrors of the waking world but it came with its own; throughout her teens, Faith had nightmares about being chased by vampires and the death of an ancient mysterious woman named Artemia at the hands of the vampire master Kakistos.
Faith was eventually removed from her home after living alone when her Mother was arrested and she was put into foster care, where she (accidentally) slayed her first vampire. Shortly after, Faith would be reunited with her mother only to find out that she was being forced by her latest sleazy boyfriend to be a whore. Faith then beat her mom's latest client up nearly to death but was arrested and taken to a mental hospital for observation. She met a young man named Kenny who had the ability to create living manifestations from the mind. Later on she was released under the care of Diana Dormer, her first Watcher. (FC: Jamie Murray).
Diana was kind but firm, teaching Faith about her true calling as a Slayer. It was while living with Diana she received the news that her Mother was dead.
On May 12, 1998, she became a full Slayer when Kendra Young was killed by Drusilla in Sunnydale. But also her nightmares would intensify and she began to have fights with her imaginary friend Alex. She would soon learn these nightmares were windows into the final days of Artemia, a Slayer who was killed many years ago by the vampire Kakistos, and that her childhood figment of imagination was actually Alexandria, the daughter-turned-vengeance demon of this slayer, now known as "Malice". Faith was eventually possessed by Artemia who, while in Faith's body, went after Kakistos and his people to avenge herself. With the help of Kenny and Diana, her spirit was exorcised from Faith.
However, the events ended with Kakistos murdering Diana, and Faith, unable to face it, running away to Sunnnydale.
(2) Buffy met Faith after witnessing her kill a vampire that she lured down an alleyway by the Bronze nightclub .Buffy's friends and watcher quickly warmed to Faith, and Faith claimed her Watcher was currently at the Watchers Retreat in England so she came to Sunnydale in hopes of comparing notes to the "infamous Buff." But Kakistos followed Faith into Sunnydale, forcing Faith to reveal what happened to her Watcher.
Faith was reduced to fear at facing her Watcher's killer. However, she managed to overcome this with the help of Buffy and finally killed Kakistos.
Faith felt like an outsider in Buffy's world even though she initially endeared herself to Buffy's mother and friends. Buffy resented Faith for "trying to take her life from her" in Faith's first days in Sunnydale, though the two reconciled after the dusting of Kakistos.
Faith was jealous of Buffy, of her friends and her life, but also found herself attracted to her both physically and emotionally. Not knowing how to feel about this, Faith maintained her teasing and the distance she was used to, and Buffy, who was still recovering from the trauma of killing Angel, maintained emotional distance from Faith.
(3) Later, Faith took Buffy on a whirlwind tour of her way of slaying, ditching school to attack vampire nest during the day, dancing at the Bronze while attracting the attention of several men, and escaping arrest after being caught stealing weapons. This eventually climaxed when Faith accidentally killed a human being, Deputy Mayor Allan Finch, an act that caused her to withdraw into denial.When it became clear that Buffy intended to reveal what had happened, unable to handle the guilt, Faith told Watcher Rupert Giles that Buffy had killed Finch. Isolated and bitter, she secretly turned to the Mayor Richard Wilkins -a sorcerer bent on becoming a pure demon- filling the void of his "right hand man" that was left by the death of the vampire Mister Trick, whom Faith had recently killed. Though she initially functioned as a double agent, her betrayal was revealed through an elaborate plan concocted by Buffy, Giles, and Angel. As her true loyalties were revealed, Faith descended still further in her slide to isolation and betrayal.Faith and Mayor Wilkins developed an affectionate, emotional closeness. The Mayor genuinely felt a father's love for the fatherless Faith and provided her with a new apartment, reinforcing her loyalties to him. While serving Mayor Wilkins undercover, she killed a smuggler and a bookseller demon.Eventually, Faith and Buffy engage in a rooftop fight, resulting in Buffy stabbing Faith with the knife gifted to her by the Mayor. The fight put Faith in a coma, one that doctors said she was unlikely to recover from. During this coma, Faith and Buffy formed a link through their dreams, Faith giving Buffy a cryptic message about the arrival of Dawn.(4) Months later, Faith regained conciousness and, using a device left to her by the Mayor, who Faith learns was bested by Buffy and the scoobies, switched bodies with Buffy. She plans to use Buffy's body to escape, while Buffy is taken captive by the watchers council in her place. What she didn't bargain for was the feelings of being surrounded by loving friends that she experienced while masquerading as her rival slayer. This confused and upset Faith , and when choosing to save party of churchgoers rather than escape, she and Buffy fight again, Faith savagely beating her own body, physically and verbally expressing her self-loathing.Faith ran away once again, arriving in LA at Angel investigations, where Angel helped her. Turning herself in, Faith was sentanced to life in prison, where Angel would often visit her.(5) On arrival of the first, and hearing that Angel had once again become the soulless Angelus, Faith broke out of prison determined to save Angel, the one person who never gave up on her.
After Angel's re-ensoulment, Faith left with Willow to return to Sunnydale to help Buffy and her allies battle the First Evil.
