The Wolf Among Us: 10 Most Harrowing Decisions We Had To Make

8. Helping Faith Out

The titular character of Episode One, Faith has a small but vital role in The Wolf Among Us' narrative. Her death sets all of the game's events into motion and the reasons behind her murder were the central mystery which kept us playing. That being said, we actually spend little time with Faith in the game; she only makes one appearance and it's quite a fleeting one at that. Still, there's plenty of time for Faith to put us through the emotional wringer. In the Homelands, Faith was a Princess, yet the tribulations of New York have left her and Prince Lawrence out of pocket, leading Faith to become a prostitute. Struggles to adapt to life in the mundane world are a recurring theme within the Fables universe and Faith's story is another tragic example of this. After Bigby saves Faith from the Woodsman in the series' opening brawl, Bigby questions her and uncovers some of the many secrets of the game. For example, Faith is reluctant to discuss her employer, simply stating that her "lips are sealed". Bigby deduces that she's a prostitute and offers her all of his remaining money to cover for the Woodsman's inability to pay. Her parting line to Bigby - "You're not as bad as everyone says you are" - is reward enough for a character who is regularly villainised for the actions he must take to protect Fabletown.
