What, it's so fun!

Faith Lehane

7, 12, 17, 27, 31 and 32, 35, 48 and 50.

It is great fun! MORE FUN THAN EVERYTHING ELSE I SHOULD BE DOING!

Okay, Faith. No surprise I have several head canons for her - where there is a deviation I'm going to go ahead and list both (or all).

#7 - Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time

Faith is a big fan of wasting time - always has been. On some level it's a way of thumbing her nose at authority, but mostly it's a way of trying to claim control over her own life (nobody can tell me what to do or when to do it).

Her favorite way of wasting time? Sex, followed by sparring or getting into fights. The only exception to this would be "Ties That Bind" Faith, who also enjoys hanging out with Nate and picking his brain on everything she can think of.

#12 - Favorite Book Genre

Doesn't have one - Faith doesn't read. She's not illiterate, but reading for pleasure is an entirely alien concept for her.


#17. Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress

Leather for battle and clubbing. No skirts, unless it's a specific request by whoever she's with (ie, TTB Faith has worn dresses for dinners with Nate or because Eliot's asked her to. Crossroads Faith has worn skirts a couple of times when Dean has complained about how long it takes to get her leather pants off.)

Casual dress is yoga pants or sweats. No shorts - consciously or unconsciously Faith's choice of clothes is designed to control *how* people see her.

Wherever possible she prefers tank tops over any other type of shirt. If she has to wear a more traditional t-shirt, she'll invariably rip out the collar.

#27. What is their biggest regret?

TTB Faith regrets the time lost with Nate and the life she believes she could have had growing up with him. Overall though, Faith regrets nothing. She can't change what she's done - all she can do is try to do better going forward and do whatever she can to keep from making the same mistakes.

#31. Most prized possession?

TTB Faith - it's the knife Eliot gave her for her thirtieth birthday. Crossroads Faith - her wedding ring (but she'll never admit that to anyone). In general, Faith's prized possession is her motorcycle.

#32. Thoughts on material possessions in general?

Bad idea - if you can't fit it in a large backpack or use it to escape the people wanting to fuck up your day, you probably don't need it as much as you think you do.

#35. What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?

Pretty much everything Faith enjoys doing she considers to be a waste of time - but she also doesn't look at that as a bad thing.

#48. How do they express love?

She sticks around. Faith doesn't say the word "love" easily - or at all. For her, when she's willing to stick around through good times and bad - when she listens to somebody call her on her bullshit and doesn't run away - that's love.

#50. Is this person afraid of dying? Why or why not?

Nah. She's already lived over a decade longer than anyone expected her to. Everything from this point forward is gravy.

I haven't really explored it in depth yet, but I suspect TTB Faith is going to be growing more afraid of dying as the years unfold and she grows closer to Nate and the team. Crossroads Faith understands that she and the Winchesters are in a dangerous business and if she's not prepared for one of them to die unexpectedly she needs to GTFO.
