Faith: Perhaps the biggest thing about Faith that appeals to people is that so little is known about her.  Yet you have a clear picture of who she is.  It is generally agreed that she at the least grew up in Boston, and was likely born there.  It is also widely agreed that she is younger than Buffy and the others, (I don't remember it being mentioned before though.)  She may have had a bad childhood, abusive parents etc.  In fics it's often said that Faith was sexually assaulted.

It is known that her mother is dead, but nothing else was mentioned about her family.  After accidently killing a person, Faith seemed to slide into insanity, eventually helping the Mayor before she was put into a coma by Buffy.  It is important to note that when Faith murdered the deputy Mayor, Xander tried to help her.  Faith tried to kill him for his troubles, but many F/X shippers will tell you that she had some secret reasons for doing it...

Xander: Okay, although Xander is the first Slayerette, and the male lead of Buffy, little is known for sure about him.  We know that his first girlfriend was Willow and the relationship went sour after Xander stole her Barbie, they were five.  We know that until Buffy came to town, Xander hung out with Willow, Jesse and Amy.

Despite claiming that he hides from Danger, Xander is the first one into the fray, always leading the charge.  So despite what he thinks about himself, Xander is the biggest hero on the Scooby Gang, as he has nothing but his wits about him and yet he's litterally saved the world by himself.

You could say that Xander's initial reaction to Faith, was lust at first site, and worship after first story.  Of course, after hearing how she saved a group of Baptists in the raw, I fell in love myself, I'm getting off track aren't I this isn't an F/Jason site is it?  Oh but how I wish it was...
