There are three groups/individuals Faye is notably loyal toward, and for poor Faye, those loyalties often clash! She tries her best to juggle them all, but with the often at least two of them at odds, if not all three, she tends to fumble.
Zularti, her adoptive brother--now deceased, but she is still loyal to the idea of him and his memory. As her first true friend and what she considers to be her most "real" family despite the lack of blood relation, she was always protective of him and eager to see him happy, as well as quick to snap at anyone who would speak ill of him. Despite that, the two often butted heads, and trying to follow the philosophy of WWZD after his passing has not been any easier for Faye, as the two had very different ideals. Her loyalty to him has caused a lot of conflict and confusion in her life, as she finds herself torn between what she thinks is right and what she knows Zularti would do.
She is also, of course, loyal to Val, her lover. She would do anything for his health and happiness. She is more concerned with his happiness than honesty, however, concealing her troubles from him in hopes that won't have to suffer than alongside her. Being loyal to a troublemaker isn't easy, though, and the two still have their spats like any couple. Still, she would risk life and limb for him, and anyone who harms or insults the Nunh will find some consequences, even if in time... revenge is best served cold!
And last is, of course, the Harbingers of Dawn. Faye views the free company as her baby, which is something that extends to all its members. She's sacrificed a lot for the company, and continues to do even when it makes her think she must be a glutton for punishment. She takes her role of Matriarch seriously, and she tries to do what she believes is best for the company, which has caused many a problem when her idea of what's "best" deviates from what others believe. However, she sticks to her guns, considering any grief she gets for it to be the price of leadership, a job she deems largely thankless yet never abandons.
