'''Faye''' (Japanese: {{hl|エフィ|Efi}} ''Efi'') is a [[villager]] from [[Ram]] appearing in {{FE15}}. She was not present in {{FE2}} and is a new addition to the cast introduced in the remake. She adores her childhood friend [[Alm]] to a somewhat extreme degree.

Faye is a [[villager]] that joins [[Alm]] at the start of his journey. She did not exist in {{FE2}}, and is a new character introduced in the remake.

 

As a new female villager [[unit]], she has access to other [[class]]es the male villager units do not; these classes are [[Pegasus Knight|pegasus knight]] and [[cleric]]. She also can become a [[cavalier]] or [[mage]], class change options shared with male villager units, though she promotes from mage to [[Priestess (Gaiden)|priestess]], while the male villager units will instead promote to [[sage]]s if any of them become mages.

Faye is initially playable in the game's [[Alm and Celica|prologue]]; she is an optional character in the main part of the game and the player can opt to not recruit her to either Alm's or Celica's party. She does not have a major story role compared to [[Tobin]] or [[Gray]]. Her [[Faye/Conversations|Base Conversations]] are written with her being in Alm's party in mind.

There are two different variations of Faye available to ''Heroes'', both of which are tied to her storyline appearance in ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia''. The normal variation of Faye is one of the characters added to the game in the [[World of Shadows]] update, and became available for summoning by players on April 14, 2017. A Valentine's variation of Faye was made available between February 7, 2020 and March 6, 2020 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Lovely Gifts]] update.

Faye is the first character added to ''Heroes'' not specifically designed for the game to appear in ''Heroes'' before the game they were designed for; this also makes Faye the second character designed for a main {{FES}} game to appear in a game outside the main series prior to the game they were initially designed for (the first being [[Roy]]).

Faye has a fixation on [[Alm]] and focuses most if not all her time thinking about or trying to do something with him,<ref>{{cite|What's the matter, Faye?

Just the other day, I got one back. They said I talk too much about you. They want to know what's happening with me, not you. But they don't understand that I AM writing about myself! Or at least I'm writing about what matters to me...|Faye|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref><ref name=talk>{{Cite|I'd rather spend time near Alm than stand about gossiping. No offense. Anyway... Good luck, I guess|Faye to Silque in a [[support]] conversation|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> to the point where her family has expressed some concern over the matter.<ref name=letter></ref> Faye joins the [[Deliverance]] for one reason; to be near Alm.<ref>'''Alm:''' Slay...enemies for me? Um... Er, I would hope you're doing it for a better reason than just...me.<br>{{Cite|'''Faye:''' Oh! Is THAT what you want? ...Because I'll do it. I'll fight for any cause you desire! Just promise you'll be watching, Alm! Promise to look at me!|Faye to [[Alm]] in a [[support]] conversation|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref><ref>{{cite|But that's... that's awful! If Sir Mycen rides off to war, what'll happen to Alm?|Faye|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref><ref>{{cite|I'm coming too! I'm staying with you no matter what! End! Of! Discussion!|Faye to [[Alm]]|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> Unfortunately for her, Alm does not return her feelings, being confused and somewhat concerned by her obsession with him.<ref>{{cite|Um, that's... Wow. I guess I'm glad she's able to find happiness in the...little things? (But I'm worried about the toll this war is taking on her...)|[[Alm]] after hearing how excited Faye was that he touched her hand|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref><ref>{{cite|I'm sorry, Faye, but...no. I'm not going back to the village. I can't. Not anymore. There are too many things left for me to do. But I'll always be thankful for you and all my friends back home. I never would have found my place in the world if it wasn't for you. You're very special to me, Faye. Just...not in the way you want.|[[Alm]] to Faye in a [[support]] conversation|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> After the war's conclusion Faye resumes her quiet life in [[Ram]] and marries. She eventually develops habits that worry her family, such as vanishing unexpectedly for days at a time.<ref name=end>{{cite|Unable to get Alm out of her mind, Faye returned to her old life in Ram Village.

Faye is somewhat suspicious and jealous of [[Celica]],<ref name=fayepro>{{cite|He's with Celica? ...Again?[...]Stop that, would you? So does this mean... I mean... Is Alm gonna marry her someday?|Faye to the other villagers after [[Alm]] left to play with [[Celica]] in the Prologue|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> and is rather chipper about the fight between Alm and Celica at the start of [[War of Deliverance|Act&nbsp;3]], using the opportunity to tell Alm that she knows and understands him better than Celica.<ref>{{cite|I don't mean to pry, Alm, but I heard you and Celica had a fight. Well, don't feel bad—you've been apart a long time, after all. You can't expect Celica to understand what's going through your head. Only someone who's been with you the whole time could ever truly understand. Someone who knows you so well she thinks exactly as you do. Someone who would do whatever you'd ask...if only you would. Those are the sort of friends you need to keep close.|Faye|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> Her negative attitude towards Celica has existed since childhood,<ref name=fayepro></ref> and is additionally reflected in her bond [[support]] which is one-sided; Celica receives bonuses from Faye, though Faye does not receive bonuses from Celica. However, while she is somewhat jealous of Celica she does not seem to actually harbor outright negative feelings towards her, and is even willing to join and fight alongside her if Alm leaves her in Ram Village.<ref>{{cite|...Huh? Oh, Celica! You're back! Gosh, how long has it been? I've missed you so much! Alm left Ram. Did you know that? Just up and LEFT! I'm so desperately lonely... Anyway, I thought about going after him just to teach him a lesson, but I didn't. I'd probably get killed by some foul beast out there on my own, you know? Hey, wait... Are you on a journey or a quest or whatever? Then maybe I could go with you!|Faye to Celica in Ram|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref>

[[Silque]] attempts to make friends with Faye, as they are two of the few girls in Alm's group,<ref>{{cite|Yes, well, I was hoping we could get to know each other better. There are so few of us women fighting alongside Sir Alm, after all.|[[Silque]] to Faye in a [[support]] conversation|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> but Faye brushes her off, desiring only to talk about Alm.<ref name=talk></ref> Silque later offers to talk about Alm, but she still refuses, citing the lack of Alm's immediate presence.<ref>{{Cite|'''Silque:''' I would like to make a proposal. If you don't like gossip, why don't we talk about Sir Alm? He's something we can bond over, don't you think?<br>'''Faye:''' Talking about Alm isn't fun unless Alm himself is there. Look, it's okay. Not everyone has to be friends, right?|Faye and [[Silque]] in a [[support]] conversation|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> For a time, Silque gives up on trying to interact with Faye. Faye eventually relents after realizing how lonely she is in the group and tells Silque that she hadn't realized it until Silque had stopped talking to her.<ref>{{cite|Weeeell... After you stopped approaching me, I realized I kinda...miss your company. I guess I needed a friend after all. Sorry I was so rude.|Faye to Silque|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref>

* Faye, along with [[Alm]], [[Lukas]], and [[Clair]], was playable in {{FEH}} before the official release of ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia'' in any region. In her case, this also marked the first time any character made their playable debut in ''Heroes'' before the official release of their game of origin (as Alm, Lukas, and Clair were already playable in ''Gaiden'').

* Despite being unable to access the [[Archer]] class in ''Shadows of Valentia'', Faye is depicted wielding bows in ''Heroes''. The developers have stated that Faye uses a bow in ''Heroes'' only due to the ''Heroes'' developers wanting to introduce another colorless type unit for the next summoning event.<ref>{{Cite web|'''Q:''' For the smartphone app Fire Emblem Heroes (from now on, FEH), Faye appeared as an archer.<br>'''Nakanishi:''' Yes she did. FEH's distribution was prior to Echoes' release, so people unfortunately assumed this was the correct class to choose for her.<br>'''Kusakihara:''' Whereas really, the FEH side just wanted another archer unit.| author=XKAN | published=August 16 2017 | retrieved =June 5 2018 | url=https://kantopia.wordpress.com/2017/08/16/fire-emblem-echoes-shadows-of-valentia-nintendo-dream-interview-july-2017-complete/ | title=Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Nintendo Dream Interview (July 2017) &#91;Complete&#93; | site=kantopia.wordpress.com}}</ref>

* Faye is the only character to receive a statistical penalty from a support relationship; in this case, her avoid is penalized by her support with Alm.
