If Spike Spiegel is the leading man, then Faye Valentine is definitely
the leading lady of Cowboy Bebop. She is cool, confident (well, most of the time) , and not afraid to take a risk if
it means getting her hands on the bounty first. |
Yes, Faye Valentine is a
bounty hunter. She is daring and competitive, and has managed to win the prize from Spike on several occasions. She always
comes prepared. She has communications devices and tiny gadgets hidden in her jewelry that help her get out of many tight
situations. Like Spike Spiegel, much of Faye Valentine's past is cloaked in mystery, but apparently she has an impossibly
large debt looming over her that perhaps provides some of her motivation and enthusiasm for her bounty hunter work. She is
also a lot older than she looks, thanks to some sort of cryo-chamber. Lets just say that the modern world took quite a bit
of getting used to for Faye :) |
Faye is a gal you want to avoid in a shooting match or a card
game. Not only is she an experienced gambler, she also pilots her own ship. Similar to Spike's Swordfish II, Faye's
Redtail is light and maneuverable. It is responsible for getting Faye away from many unpleasant situations. All she
has to do is send out a signal from one of her bracelets, and the Redtail arrives on auto-pilot ready for her to take
control. |
Faye is Spike's rival, yet
she has managed to invite herself to live aboard the Bebop on occasion. Of course her time on the Bebop is usually
either spent in handcuffs while Jet and Spike rummage through her belongings, or lounging around tormenting poor Ein the dog
(who she does not get along with) and waiting for news of a bounty she can race ahead and try to beat Spike at acquiring. |
Faye's voice actress is none other than Megumi
Hayashibara, a very talented and prolific artist. She is doing a more adult, mature voice for once, instead of her usual
over-genki teenage voices. While I have been getting tired of hearing Megumi's voice in everything these days, I actually
like her portrayal of Faye Valentine. |
