Faye is a Jewish woman from America, who comes to Spain to help fight the fascists in Madrid. Her motivations for doing so are not clear, but she is ensconced in a building with fellow resisters, and does her share of the fighting. She is the lover of Andres, who is being managed by Sascha and then Khristo, and is one of the four who make the mad flight from Madrid the night of Khristo's defection to France. Faye stays with Andres until he dies, and then goes back to America. She stays in touch with Khristo and remains in his thoughts over the years, until they are reunited in America.
