conceal thy good intent

Faye is the type of person who knows what she wants and knows how to get it. She's brash, lazy, egotistical and immature, and she's not afraid to use her feminine wiles to get what she wants. She's extremely vain and puts her own high-maintenance needs above the very basic needs of the rest of the Bebop crew, seen exfoliating even when they don't have food around. She's got a short fuse and goes off on Spike routinely, shouting and whining in annoyance. Despite all of her overt displays of confidence, she's actually a rather delicate person. Because of what happened to her when she awoke from her cryogenic sleep, she has become hardened and untrusting, leaving her extremely vulnerable to those she does trust. For this reason, she puts up her brash and sarcastic facade to keep people from getting close enough to hurt her again.

you're my funny valentine

Faye was born on Earth in 1994. She was riding in a space shuttle that crashed, and was put under cryogenics for 54 years while medical technology evolved. When she woke up, it was 2071 and mankind had changed immensely. The entire solar system was open to navigation by starships and freighters alike, and they had colonized space stations, asteroids and even other planets. Unfortunately, she also wakes to find that she has accumulated a massive debt that she has no means of paying, as well as a severe case of amnesia. She cannot remember anything from before she was frozen, and thus, the doctor who woke her (Dr. Bacchus) gave the surname "Valentine." She has only flashes of memory, all of which involve a Merlion statue from a town in Singapore, or a large mansion, indicating that she may have come from a very wealthy family (this would also explain her ridiculous vanity and self image).

She meets a man, Whitney Hagas Matsumoto, who claims to be her lawyer. He takes her around on the town, and it is implied that they had feelings for one another until one day Dr. Bacchus sends the police after Faye to force her to pay her debt. Matsumoto tells Faye to run and runs the opposite direction. When Faye reaches the forest, she hears and explosion and assumes him to be dead. Bacchus tells Faye that in Matsumoto's will, he gave everything to Faye--which proved only to put her further in debt. Her only option was escape, and so she has been evading the authorities ever since. In an attempt to pay her debt, she made a backwards deal with a casino dealer to get a special chip from someone, and it is in that way that she meets Spike, who looks similar to the man who is meant to give her the chip. The chip gets lost, and Faye takes the money the Bebop crew is given in payment for it and runs. She reappears later to actually join the crew.

Once she had been with Spike and Jet for some time, Whitney Hagas Matsumoto appears as a con-man with a bounty on his head that amounts to several million woolong. They capture him, but she helps him escape in an attempt to get answers. Bacchus, who is also chasing Matsumoto, reveals to Faye that her name was just taken from his favorite love song and that no one really knows her name. He tells her that all of her data was lost, and turns out to be Matsumoto's uncle. Bacchus has to flee the police, so Faye throws Whitney Hagas Matusmoto in jail and claims the bounty on his head.

She takes an intense interest in Spike's lost love, Julia, and in doing so meets Gren--a man who spent time in the Titan War with Vicious, Spike's nemesis and Julia's ex. Gren was playing saxophone at a bar where Faye wound up, and he brought her home to give her a place to stay. It is there that Faye finds out about Gren's relationship with Vicious and the fact that during the war Gren was given an experimental treatment that messed with his hormones and gave him breasts. She connects emotionally with Gren, only to find out he has a bounty on his head. Spike goes after him and they encounter Vicious. Vicious kills Gren, and Spike helps Gren set his shuttle back to Titan so that he can return one last time.

While she constantly argues with the boys of the Bebop, the fact that she consistently returns to them shows that she does value the partnership, but that she's maybe just afraid of the term because of how Bacchus and Matsumoto crushed her ability to trust people to stay there, and also because of how Gren "abandoned" her as well just after he'd gotten past her trust barrier. She even seems to care about Spike and Jet just a little bit; when the situation is serious, she worries about them.
