Faith
Faith is beautiful. Even when she is sick and falling on the subway, I think that she is absolutely beautiful. In a simple - you want to keep looking. Her features are smooth, though a bit sharp and they look as if she is a little sad. If you are sitting with-in eye shot(?) of her on a train or in the subway or on a bus (since she can't afford a cab) yo want to watch her and see her movements. She looks as if she should have been in ballet or modeling, though she's not tall. She simply has long legs and no chest to speak of. She has a simple way of moving that is fluid. She crosses her legs in one smooth motion. If she sits she sets her bag down beside and her and move easily into the chair as if it is all one motion. She is fluid in her motions and she's very, very pale skinned. She burns easily and has kept her skin out of the sun as much as she can and being sick has made her more pale. And for a skinny girl she's started losing weight from not having the energy to make herself eat.
I haven't completely worked out her story with her father and brother yet. but maybe if I type it out here for you it will flow as easily as she does.
Her mother died shortly after she was born. Complications after she had a serious illness that she never quite seemed able to recover from it. I think that it was breast cancer undiagnosed. But she never knew her mother. Only what her brother (who is easily 12 years older than her) and father and father's friends have told her. She loves her brother and her father and when, at around age 20 she finds out that she is getting sick and has cancer she doesn't tell them the real reason that she chooses to go to college in NYC - they have the best Oncologists. And from there she begins to keep it from them. not wanting them to worry. And when things get out of control she starts cutting her communications with them. She can't handle anything.
