**Faye** Nielsen-Brandt is a demon resident of Brimstone City and the joint-protagonist of *Hell-ish*. She is Dawn's best friend and closest companion. She is fully prepared to crush anyone who stands in the way of Dawn's dream to bring animated TV to Hell.

## Appearance

Faye is an anthropomorphic wolf demon with dark grey fur and black/white highlights. She has long, thick hair with white tips that covers her right eye and long, dark eyebrows and eyelashes. She has a white, heart-shaped beauty spot beneath her left eye. She has tall white ears with purple, furry insides; the right ear has two black, ring-shaped piercings, and the left is torn near the top end. She has a large, dull red heart to the left of her chest. Her eyes are reddish-brown.

She wears a large collar with short, spiky white studs, a purple vest top and large, baggy trousers. Her midriff and left arm is covered by a black lace pattern. Her boots are black with silver buckles and spikes along the rims.

## Personality

Faye is strong and sensible, much more mature than Dawn and lacking her rose-tinted spectacles when viewing the outside world. She is outwardly irritable and short of patience, but in reality, her protective and careful nature causes her to put those she cares about over regard for her own behavior. Faye is usually quick to judge other demons, especially when she perceives Dawn's safety to be at risk around them. She is very caring towards her despite seeming outwardly overprotective, and is highly supportive of her ambitions, sometimes to the detriment of others.

Unlike Dawn, who treats almost everyone she meets as a friend, Faye is much more suspicious of other demons and can come off as persnickety when approaching them. She is also sometimes mistaken for a hellhound, to which she expresses great annoyance. She greatly dislikes those who hold prejudice against generally any group, most notably anti-semites, since she is Jewish.

## Friends

#### Dawn

Dawn is Faye's best friend and closest companion. They currently live in the same apartment together.

## Rivals

#### Clarke

Clarke is Faye's landlord. She presumably dislikes him, since he he is greedy and bullies Dawn.

## Family

#### Thomas

Thomas is Faye's younger brother. Not much is known about him, since Faye is hesitant to share information about him.

Faye as born in March of 1942 and died in 1965. Some time after manifesting in Hell, Faye became very good friends with Dawn and the two moved into the same apartment.

On Extermination Day, Dawn left home despite her warnings not to, and came back claiming her parents were Exorcists. Faye helped her calm down from the event. The next day, Faye found Dawn unable to concentrate on her work because of the day before, and they talked about it together. The next morning, when she came back from shopping, Dawn asked her about the photo of her brother, Thomas. She lashed out, but quickly apologized.

Later, Clarke visited, demanding rent by a strict deadline of two days. Faye offered to work a double shift to pay for it, meaning she couldn't attend Dawn's upcoming pitch meeting, but she made up for it by treating her to some ice cream.
