Character Basics:

Character Name: Faye Chamberlain
Journal: reallywicked
Age: 17
Fandom: The Secret Circle (novels)
Canon Point: The Power while she’s still working with Black John
Debt: Can I just say 50 nondescript years of blackmail, extortion, and arson? Breaking it down would just be all my own headcanon anyway. She’s only a teenager, but not a very good one.

Canon Character Section:

History: here and here should piece it together. Faye’s not the main character so there’s not much. Her personality section below also adds some history details.

Personality: Think back and remember the baddest bitch you knew in high school – that girl that made your life a living hell and laughed while she did it.

Now give that girl an inherited gift of magic and a big thirst for power.

Whether the power she lusts for be social or magical, Faye is constantly looking out for number one. And in order to understand her, you have to understand that Faye’s biggest driving force is to further her own self. A majority of her actions are taken for her own benefit, even if they will be the downfall of another. Her own climb to the top if her sole motivation, and even if she has some other force driving her, it is purely secondary. Her moves are calculated and never without explicit purpose, but the purpose may not always be easy to comprehend.

To those who are not aware of her manipulative nature, she can turn on the charm without warning. Faye will be anything she has to be in order to get what she wants: sweet and innocent, dark and sultry, cold and ruthless. She prefers to use fear and sex as weapons, but can play the good girl for a short period. Unfortunately, in a town as small as New Salem, it isn’t as if there’s a ton of new faces to try to pull a bluff, so she doesn’t get much practice at it.

Unfortunately, she’s also easily bored, and if an act won’t work, she just takes what she wants. Faye uses magic frivolously, taking short cuts left and right in order to get her way without the hassle of trying. She doesn’t want consequences, which is why she’ll bother trying to manipulate others into giving in to her way, but if that won’t work, she doesn’t mind twisting a few figurative arms. She has no problem showing off and flaunting her power. In fact, she gets a sick thrill from it. This is likely cultivated by living her entire life as part of The Club. Faye uses fear as a tool in the same manner a carpenter uses a hammer. It’s a blunt force meant to strike her will into being.

Lying is also something is certainly not above. Coming up with an elaborate lie that might help her get her way is not only something that Faye is on board for, but usually something that will excite her. She has no qualms asking others to lie for her either, or to lie in order to further her own sinister goals. Then, by knowing that a lie has been told, Faye can lord it over a person for quite some time, threatening to spread the word about their white lie.

While Faye does have actual feelings, the hard outer shell really isn’t hiding much of a good person deep down. From time to time, she’ll think of others, but there’s usually some benefit to herself that she’s got in the back of her mind. Keeping all of her fellow witches alive benefits her, and so because of that, she’ll do what she can to help out the cause to save Cassie or the others when they’re in a bind. But Faye’s nature does not automatically think of the welfare of anyone- not even her best friend. She’s selfish at her core with only brief moments of true compassion that come through in extreme situations.

With the other members of the Circle, Faye just tends to try to be head witch in charge. Unfortunately, she only manages to boss around Suzan, occasionally Deborah, and the Henderson brothers come along for the ride when it suits them. Her leadership style is akin to a hostile takeover. While she can make strategic moves to push herself towards a goal, more often than not, Faye is anything but subtle with her cohorts. Thankfully for her, what she lacks in refinement with those closest to her, she makes up in execution in her actual plans. Blackmailing Cassie, for example, was one of her favorite little plots. Using little miss new girl to get what she wanted from Diana and the others was even more fun than she first thought.

Like many of the members of The Club, Faye lost a parent when she was very young. She doesn’t speak much about her family, though it’s clear that she does get pretty much whatever she wants and is left to her own devices a great deal of the time. Car, clothes, jewelry, food, entertainment- Faye is not aware of what it is like to go without. She’s also able to throw get togethers for her nearest and dearest at the drop of a hat, and not just for Circle business. Because of this, she doesn’t enjoy hearing the word “no” and will work tirelessly to overcome any refusal. Faye doesn’t show many signs of grief, which implies that she has either moved on or has channeled her grief into rage. The likelihood of the latter is extremely high, though she would never own up to anything like that. Being raised by a single mother and growing up in a town where simply living on Crow Haven Rd made her a person to be feared, it isn’t hard to figure out why a complex developed.

But a mother isn’t Faye’s only family in New Salem. No, she has the pleasure of being related to Diana Meade- otherwise known as Goody Two Shoes Queen of the Century. Faye and Diana don’t see eye to eye, to put it lightly, and the fact that they are in the same Circle, the same high school, the same grade- hell, they even share the same birthday… Well, it isn’t exactly her ideal situation. The two cousins are constant rivals, always vying for the same seat of power within the Circle: Coven leader. The competition is anything but friendly in Faye’s case, and she never stops looking for opportunities to undermine Diana’s spotless reputation or to exploit her faithful followers.

Powers/Abilities: Faye is a witch by blood, which means that she is able to control the natural elements and to call on them to aid her in spells. The easiest element for her to work with is fire. She will be so pissy about losing this power.

Appearance: Described as 5’10 with long, dark hair and honey colored eyes, basically the CW only did one thing right with this casting

Samples:

Actionspam Sample: here - played in a meme as her canon self

Prose Sample:
This place was hell, as far as she was concerned. Black John had promised her power, as much as she wanted, and now what? Now she was… normal, boring. She’d rather be dead. Sulking in her room offered her no privacy, since it came equipped with roommates. That was another part of this that was unbearable. As an only child, Faye had never had to share anything in her life.

The other option was work, but that was laughable. Faye Chamberlain did not work like some mundane little speck. She was better than that. And if these Agents didn’t get that, then she’d have to make her point. That point mostly involved poignantly not working while she wandered the temple and the city until she found something worth her time. She was bored, and tired of playing nice. She was in the mood for something wicked.
