Faye Valentine

(Born 1994) Her real name is unknown, even to her. She was frozen in cryo for at least fifty years, until she was awakened by a group of scammers posing as doctors and one as a lawyer who gave her the name "Faye Valentine." In the end, she ended up with a 300 million Woolong debt. Faye quickly adapted to her new time, and became a thief, compulsive gambler and bounty hunter- anything to raise the money she needed, and she made many enemies while doing it.

In 2071, Faye became caught up in a plot by a gangster named Gordon to act as a blackjack dealer in his casino. She was supposed to deliver a control chip to him, containing a security code to a stolen computer program capable of hacking any lock. Mistaking Spike Spiegel for the courier, she later ended up teaming up (more like inviting herself) along with him and Jet Black as a bounty hunter on board the Bebop.

Over time, like the others, Faye formed an unspoken bond. While a great asset, she was also a great source of annoyance to the whole crew, since she looked out for herself and her own interests over theirs and was always willing to screw them over.

She briefly left the Bebop and befriended a man named Gren on the moon of Callisto, but he was later murdered by Spike's nemesis, Vicious.

Eventually Faye regained her memories, and decided to go home. Upon arriving at her family home, however, there was nothing there; she had no place to return to. Faye returned to Mars and met Julia while she was being hunted by operatives of the Red Dragons. She returned to the Bebop to give Spike a message from Julia, and later realized too late that the Bebop was the home she'd been searching for all along. After Julia's death, she realized that Spike was going to go on a suicide mission to avenge her death by killing Vicious. She begged Spike to reconsider, but for him there was no going back. Tragically, after finally realizing the rest of the Bebop were her true family, it was torn apart.
