"Faith. Her name alone invokes awe. Faith! A set of principles or beliefs upon which you're willing to devote your life. The Dark Slayer: a lethal combination of beauty, power, and death. For years and years, or, to be more accurate, months... Faith fought on the side of good, terrorizing the evil community. But like so many tragic heroes, Faith was seduced by the allure of the dark side. She wrapped evil around her like a large evil Mexican serape. She became a cold-blooded killer. Nobody was immune to her trail of destruction, not friends, not family, not even the most pacifist and logical of races." - Andrew Wells, "Dirty Girls"

I should make short videos more often, they're so much more fun to put together and I hate myself less throughout the process.
So, you may have noticed that these credits are much more spastic than the Illyria intro, for example. Faith is impulsive, often cocky, and makes mistakes. I imagine that Faith's show would be full of color, excitement, and humor mixed in with the drama. I hope these credits convey that idea. :) (Especially the humor bit, I couldn't resist throwing in Spike's hair malfunction and all those good times he was chained to Giles's bathtub).
As the song suggests, I like to think that Faith's show would focus on five very strong but broken people who have all loved and lost, and suffered quite a bit. The show follows these people as they attempt to heal themselves by helping other people, similar to Angel, but less brooding.
A Slayer, a Watcher, a Demon, a Freak, and a Vampire. What a crew. I've given this way too much thought.
Please enjoy, rate, and comment!
