'' Why were you pretending to be a boy?'' Tooth asked, confused.
The knight got up, grabbing her helmet. '' Because in the past people made fun of me for wanting to be a knight. So, I pretended to be a guy. It's pretty easy, with all this armor.'' She stated, looking slightly uncomfortable without her helmet on her head. She had waist length dark red hair, slightly tan skin with some freckles, and purple eyes. She looked like the kind of person who rarely smiled.
'' But why around other spirits? People still judge you because you're a girl?'' Jack asked curiously.
The knight sighed. '' They don't just judge me for being a girl. What I am... who my parents were... I wasn't meant to be a knight. I wasn't meant to be good at fighting, or athletic, or brave. Yet here I am. I've gone against quite a few rules in the past. The way I see it, the only way to escape all those expectations is to pretend to be a guy, and it's worked pretty well. '' She explained.
'' So that's why you didn't want to tell us your name.'' Jack realized.
The knight nodded. '' That was part of it. Plus, my name is kind of embarrassing.''
Jack rolled his eyes. '' Come on! It can't be that bad! I mean, look at Bunny. His full name is E. Aster Bunnymund. Real creative, right?''
'' Hey!'' Bunny exclaimed.
The knight sighed again. '' Fine. It's... Fabiana. My name is Fabiana.''
The room was silent for a moment. Then Jack, was trying not to laugh, broke the silence. '' Uh... okay. Cool. I mean, it's not a bad name. Maybe we could call you Faye.'' He suggested.
Fabiana thought for a minute. '' Okay. At least it's better than Fabiana.''
'' So, why don't you want to become Guardian?'' North asked curiously, changing the subject.
'' Like I said, being a Guardian isn't my thing.'' Faye explained. '' I'm not good with kids. Plus, everywhere I go people get hurt. I'm better off alone.''
'' Hey, I thought that too.'' Jack offered. '' But look at me now! Trust me, being a Guardian is awesome.''
Faye held up her hand. '' I have an idea. I'll hang out with you for a week. If I still don't want to become a Guardian by the end of the week, I'll leave. We'll forget this whole thing, and you guys can just go back to ignoring me. If for some reason I want to become a Guardian, then I'll do it. Deal?''
North nodded. '' Deal. Now, walk with me.'' North started quickly walking away, not waiting for an answer. Faye quickly ran after him.
