Faith was born to a peasant family near Nice, her blonde hair probably a sign of Norman blood, though gossips whispered about fairy liaisons. She doesn't remember much of her early years; she likes to imagine she was happy.  Around the age of five her Gift began to manifest, including her reddish-brown eyes turning to a more scarlet red -- now the gossips whispered about demonic liaisons.  It wasn't long before the Ex Misc synthesist and ''orba'' Bonisagi, [[Precia of Torino]], came to claim her, at the age of six.

Faith was an eager student; Precia in some ways was a good teacher, but a horrible mother substitute.  Faith was alternately well trained, drained of blood, and subjected to the arbitary abuses of Tytalan training.

On passing her Gauntlet, Precia tried to hold the girl's sigil, but a local Quaesitor, [[Lindy Verdi]], made sure Faith knew she had the right to claim her sigil, and gave her the emotional strength to do so, and to leave.  Lindy advised Faith to join the new covenant at Gimont, thinking that having peers and no seniors would be good for the girl's confidence.

On passing her Gauntlet, Precia tried to hold the girl's sigil, but a local Quaesitor, Lindy Verdi, made sure Faith knew she had the right to claim her sigil, and gave her the emotional strength to do so, and to leave.  Lindy advised Faith to join the new covenant at Codalet, thinking that having peers and no seniors would be good for the girl's confidence -- plus, of course, the obvious faerie and Creo associations.
  
 
Lindy thought Faith should sail safely from Nice to Perpignan. In a rare show of will, privately motivated by "not wanting to rush from one prison to another", Faith insisted on going by land, so Lindy assigned her Mario to guard her and handle animals and people.  This led to a long winding journey through Provence by cart, and the happiest time of Faith's recent memories.

En route to Gimont, Faith passed through her home village, which she hadn't seen for 15 years. She barely remembered it, and even her mother was briefly happy to see her, but unsure of how to react.  But while there, Faith met her cousin Carolina, another blonde and red-eyed girl, with the curse but not the power of the Gift, orphaned and distrusted.  Faith decided to give ''her'' a happy childhood, at least, and invited her away.

Faith is a sweet girl, still unused to making her own decisions, or of her long term goals.  Most immediately she wants a familiar, partly for the benefits against aging and magical accidents, but as much for the companionship.  Faith has trouble believing anyone would like her for herself, so naturally she should create her own friends. She likes helping people. Precia's goal of having her live forever is not entirely unattractive or uninteresting, though Faith also worries that it's selfish and impious.

Compared to her mater, Faith thinks she's dumb and incompetent. She hasn't experienced many other magi to compare herself to.

She admires the quaesitors -- one helped her, after all! -- and daydreams sometimes of knightly hoplites vanquishing evil.

Of course, she has a young cousin to look after now. She'll want to see Caro safe, happy, and educated, and protecting Caro is one of the things that will get Faith to show some spine.  (Disciplining Caro, not so much.)

Special flaw note:  Story flaw: 0 points, Tormenting Master variant. Precia certainly agrees that Faith has ''earned'' her sigil, she just thinks Faith still owes her... everything. 0 points because you can have only one Story flaw for points and I figure a local kid is more story-genic (and fun!) than a distant abusive asshole.
