Faith Harrington is the main character in the official Lost novelization Endangered Species by Cathy Hapka. Her sister is Gayle Harrington, a woman who is often mentioned due to the fact that Faith often remembers her words of wisdom.

Before the crash

As a teenager, Faith lived in an apartment block with her sister Gayle. Early in her life she took care of a neglected dog, nursing it back to health. Faith is obviously a clever woman, having been accepted into one of the toughest PhD programs in the country.

Faith was an environmentalist and reptile expert who studied with Dr. Luis Arreglo. She fell in love with Oscar, and joined an extremist environmental activist group with him against Arreglo. Her romance with Oscar was very rushed. Oscar had asked her to move in with him on their second date. Faith complained that she could never remember her dreams. She was tricked by her boyfriend, Oscar, into letting him come with her to meet her former college professor. Oscar injected snake venom into her professor. Oscar wanted to leave the country with her, start a new life. But she smacked a bucket onto his head, so that she could leave him. Faith was on the run from the police before the crash. Faith was able to purchase a ticket for Flight 815, because someone else cancelled.

On the Island

Soon after the crash, Faith notes that she had blacked out during the crash and had landed in the jungle. She saw a snake, Morelia Viridis soon after she awoke in the jungle glade. She had ripped her best skirt, her faux-silk blouse was streaked with mud and grime and she had lost her shoes. She had scratches on her arms and an ugly-looking gash on her left shin, but was otherwise alright. She meets a stranger in the jungle, and she was clutching a broken arm on her stomach or holding a wound on her torso (in actual fact she had just removed her handcuffs). The stranger's face was smudged with dirt and her forehead was dotted with sweat. She then runs to the beach, and is far away enough to see, but not be hurt by, the turbine explosion. Shortly after, she met George, who convinces her to start collecting luggage. Faith and George see Boone running around with pens in his hand, for Rose. She then sees the wing of the plane fall near Jack, Claire and Hurley. Faith asks Jack about her injury, just to make sure and is worried that Jack and Kate are laughing at her. Faith went into the jungle with George, Hurley and Boone to search for more food, when she sees a Paradise Parrot, which has been extinct since the 1920's. She recovers the Backgammon game with Locke and bravely saves George from a snake, which George sees as an offense against his manhood, and shouts at Faith. She later saves him from a snake, called a Death Adder, which are particularly dangerous.
