Faith Labonair

Faith Labonair is a minor character who appeared in Season 3 of Teen Wolf. Though she only appeared in the flashbacks in Visionary, her life and death has had a significant part in the history of Beacon Hills. She was a sophomore at Beacon Hills High School in the early 2000s when she first met Derek Hale, who was then fifteen and a star player on the basketball team. Though he was a popular jock and she was a quiet, shy artist who enjoyed painting and drawing, the two eventually fell in love with each other and developed a romantic relationship.

After being given the Bite without her consent by Ennis, an Alpha Werewolf, Faith began to reject the transformation and was brought into the root cellar of the Nemeton, where she begged Derek to kill her and end her suffering. Derek was devastated, but complied with her wish, unknowingly performing a virgin sacrifice that gave the mystical tree a spark of power that it had not had in years. It can be said that Faith's death was one of the catalysts for the events of Season 3A, as it was the power of her sacrifice that allowed Jennifer Blake to enact her plan to kill the Alpha Pack. Eventually her soul merged with Hope Mikaelson's.
