One of the less outspoken characters on this list, Faith Connors is still an amazing protagonist from Mirror's Edge. Faith is a "Runner"; someone who transports items for revolutionary groups while avoiding being caught by a totalitarian regime. Mirror's Edge wasn't just praised for it's unique free running game play, but also for the protagonist it produced.

Faith Connors is the primary protagonist in the Mirror's Edge series. An independent young woman, Faith detests how the city dictates the lives of its inhabitants and rebels against it as a Runner. Faith seems to constantly become involved in the city's conspiracies due to her family connections or her circumstance as a Runner.

History:
Faith was born into a family of four, growing close to her mother while Kate grew close to their father, Faith's parents were protesters against the rise of the totalitarian regime that was seeping into the City. With her father providing funds and leadership to the Libertas movement her parents brought their two children along to their protests. Faith and her sister, Kate, had seen their mother killed during the November Riots, crushed to death as others sought to escape. After her mother's death her father became depressed due to guilt to the point of alcoholism.

At the age of 16, Faith left her father and Kate, to live on the streets. Gradually resorting to petty thievery to survive she began robbing homes, including the Hideout of an ex-Runner named Mercury. Catching her in the act, Mercury took her under his wing and trained her to work for him as a Runner.

Trivia:
- Faith is of mixed Asian and Caucasian descent, like her sister.
- Faith’s first tattoo to commemorate her first official run was the tattoo around her right eye. She had her ‘circuitry’ arm tattoo done after the events involving Silvine Security Systems and her mother.
- Faith was 24 at the time of Mirrors Edge (Game). She is believed to be the same age in the comics.
