Faith

Faith Smith is one of four main characters from the 2013 movie "Spring Breakers."

Faith is shown to be a devout Catholic, however she masks her beliefs to attend a spring break holiday to Florida after her devious friends rob a fast food restauraunt. Not much is known about Faith's backstory other than she is in constant contact with both her mother and her grandmother throughout her stay is Florida; she is also (most likely) acquaintances of Bess and Forest , two girls who attend Faith's youth pastor's club.

Faith is by far the most sensible of the four girls, and is unlike them in many aspects - in retrospect, Faith yearns to be like the girls, and gives into the temptation to be like them; however she changes back to her old ways which is shown by her early exit shortly after Alien bails them out of jail. Faith has the shortest screentime out of all the girls. Faith is portrayed by the actress Selena Gomez[1] however, as the film is focused 'on a set of spring breakers' rather than the original four so this seems unlikely.

Appearance

Faith is pretty with long, straight black hair and dark brown eyes. She is 5" 5' with tanned skin and a slim build. Faith wears a cross necklace to further connote and express her beliefs; in the poster and some of the film, she wears a blue bikini and also wears a orange bikini top with blue bottoms. In the promo pictures, Faith wears an aqua bikini top with yellow shorts and a pair of adidas sneakers and appears to be the sweetest of the girls. According to Alien, she looks about fifteen.

Personality

Faith is considered the most innocent of the quartet. She is religious, but seems to feel repressed because of her monotonous life. She sees a Florida vacation as an opportunity to find herself and escape the reality in which she lives. Even in the face of so much sex, adrenaline, drugs and alcohol, Faith describes the place as magical, spiritual and liberating, even wishing she could live that moment forever, which highlights her weak and confused mind as a teenager, demonstrating her struggle to discover her place in the world. When they meet Alien, Faith soon becomes uncomfortable and does not hesitate to return home, which in a way shows that she is more sensible than her friends.
