Faba is first and foremost a self-insert, but over time she's become her own character. She has also been a way for me to explore my own cultures, giving me insight into things I didn't even know about myself. While Faba and her sister aren't named for Swedish or Aleut culture, their parents certainly are. Their heritage is tricky since they're hellborn, but their ancestors originated from the mythos and monsters from their respective cultures. Some terminology isn't used correctly, not because they don't care, but because they don't know any different to how things are done on Earth. Saga, Faba's mother, often refers to her daughters as inukins, which are little demons who are sometimes interpreted to be helpful more than a nuissance. It's not a term used for endearment, but Saga thinks it sounds "cute".

Faba harbors a lot of anxiety, often manifesting as nervous laughter and minor self-mutilation (like chewing her cuticles). Her parents were always patient, but a looming dread of being a burden to them pushed her to pursue a career that would sustain her. With no relatives or friends in the business, Faba unexpectedly found herself working for the social services branch of Hell. Her lackluster experiences with the services herself made her decide that maybe she could be the patient worker that she needed. Upon joining the team, Faba quickly befriended Maeve and Remy, the receptionists, and Danton, an admin assistant. Maeve's take-no-shit-from-anyone attitude emboldended Faba to be more firm with her cases, while Remy's devil-may-care view on the world helped Faba let the stress roll off her shoulders more easily. Danton's pure acceptance and curiosity about her made her feel special; a feeling she wasn't used to.

Faba has light-red skin, aqua eyes, and long, curly/wavy black hair with a deep blue undertone. She has a splash of freckles across her nose and cheeks, sprinkled up to her forehead. Her eyebrows are thick and dark, but not super manicured or unruly. Faba rarely wears her hair up, often opting for styles she can wear down and loose. She occasionally sports a ponytail, but that's mostly for hot temps and tennis. She technically has 2 hair types, ranging from 2a to 3b. She wears makeup sparingly, mostly focusing on lips, eyes, and cheeks. Her nails are almond-shaped, sometimes painted pink and glittery, but often left natural black. Contrary to other hellborn demons, Faba's ears are human-like and not pointed. This has yet to be explained, as her sister and mother are portrayed to have pointed ears. Her father's are rounded like hers, though. Her horns are skin-based, but feel like bone or hard cartilage. They appear to be shaped like a domestic goat's, but shorter and angled more backwards. Faba is short and curvy but healthy, with a slightly above average waist-hip-bust ratio.
