Faith Edwards was a small-town girl living a double life. In public she was the perfect little middle-schooler: good grades, active in her church's youth group and her school's cheerleading team, polite and helpful. At home, nothing she did was ever good enough, and her parents fought endlessly. (Her daddy was a roofer and construction worker whose main goal was to become a foreman so he could be the one ordering people around. Her mother was a homemaker and active in the church and the PTA, and always emphasized putting on a good face as an example to others.)
She had just turned fourteen when she woke up covered in black fur. Her parents reacted predictably, with her mother trying to shave the fur from her face and demanding that Faith stay still, will you? while the girl was still struggling with her body's desire to completely transform. Her father burst into her room, drunk and flinging wild accusations about sinful behavior and judgements from God. Overwhelmed, Faith pushed her mother away and escaped through the bedroom window, fleeing into the scrublands outside town and becoming a menace to the local ranches as she struggled to learn how to keep herself fed and master her new abilities. (Her parents were never formally charged with anything, but Faith Caitlyn Edwards remains on the books as a Missing Persons case.)
A year or so later, Nightfox was taken in by an elderly fellow Anomaly named Jake Wyrick, who helped her settle into her new life and eventually connected her with Saint Vincent's. She is now in her third year as a student there.
