## Powers and Abilities

* Witch-Nature
* Vampire-Nature

Faith is a witch-hybrid, having inherited her witch gene from her father, the son of Esther Mikaelson and her mother, the ancestor of several travelers. Despite this, Esther states that 's magic is strong enough to fuel the French Quarter Coven's ancestral power for generations, while one of the Hollow's acolytes reiterates this sentiment when he states that Faith might be the greatest witch the world may ever know. As a child, Faith demonstrated a heightened awareness of the impending explosion at her family's house and she used her magic to temporarily turn off Kol's car (as they were on their way there) to protect herself and Kol. She then used it again to turn the car back on.

Although Faith is not a full vampire-hybrid, she possesses a few vampiric traits, specifically her blood. Her blood was able to heal her mother while in the womb as well as she's able to heal herself, such as when she sliced open her hand and stabbed her foot with a trash picker. Her blood can be used to sire new vampires and hybrids. If Faith were to die, she would become a vampire which should negate her ability to practice magic.
