My Thoughts:

Yes!!! Finally! Entering Faye, Queen of hearts. She is already my favorite character (tied with Spike) and interred in how her character develops and progresses.

I only know she is a Femme Fatale and her character card in the game is incredible I beleive it graded a 10/10 too!!

Faye falls into the clutches of our hero Spike on his ship after a bad game of blackjack.  Long story short the bounty on Faye is higher than what she can offer in return. Ironically the bounty for her is guaranteed by the police not another space cowboy.
