faye

While Faye was not shown extensively within the game, it is clear that she cared deeply about her son, and taught him as many things as she could before dying and raised Atreus to be a kind soul. She also appeared to be a very close and loving wife to Kratos, as Kratos wondered if he could raise Atreus without her and reprimanded Atreus whenever he spoke ill of his mother, showing anger when Atreus accuses him of not mourning Faye. Despite thinking that she was a mortal, Kratos still described her as "better than a God". The Huldra brothers, Brok and Sindri, also thought highly of Faye, making the Leviathan Axe for her. Sindri, in particular, considered her a special woman and was saddened upon learning of her death.

Kratos and Atreus have both noted that Faye always wanted to help those in need, without any personal benefit to gain from the action. Atreus had clearly learned and inherited her kind nature and desire to help others from Faye. While Kratos would very much like to stay out of the affairs of others, Faye would always help those in need, a trait which endeared her to the Huldra brothers.

According to Atreus, Faye shared her husband's mistrust of Gods, though not without reason. As the last Guardian of the Jötnar, Faye had the opportunity and the hope of her fellow Giants to restore balance to the world following Thor's rampage. Instead, Faye placed her hopes in her family. Using her ability of foresight, Faye undertook the journey her son and husband would and left markings to help guide them.

In Kratos' dreams, Faye reveals a more fun loving side, often teasing her husband and calling him Grumbles in response to his grunting and gruff demeanor and even poking his nose with yellow paint or thanking him for removing a dead tree and calling him a good boy. Never have the two argued once as Faye often provides her wisdom to Kratos' ideals and concerns about himself and the world around him, something that Kratos wished he had taken heed sooner with his first wife Lysandra. She even jokes about Kratos' choice of burial for her, opting for a tomb instead of a pyre to which she responds that her rotting corpse would bring him such comfort.

Upon learning of her fight with Thor in Vanaheim, Kratos was shocked to see Faye had contributed to the destruction of the valley, on a level of rage he thought her incapable of. Despite Thor being drunk and sloppy with his hammer, Faye was capable of such hateful emotions that she engaged Thor in combat with the Leviathan, their duel ending in a stalemate and leaving behind a frozen lightning mark.
