Hello. Today will be my next Near Pure Good proposal, and it is dedicated to Faith Connors. But in this case, we are talking specifically about her version from Mirror's Edge Catalyst, since I did not play the original Mirror's Edge.
What's the work?
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a first-person action parkour video game about a runner named Faith Connors.
Who is she?
Faith Connors is the main character of the video game Mirror's Edge Catalyst. She is a "Runner" who delivers items to revolutionary groups hiding from the totalitarian government. Her main enemy is Gabriel Kruger— president and CEO of Kruger Holding, chairman of the Board of the conglomerate Casta.
Her Good Ranking
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Good?
- She helped others running to overthrow the corporate government and stop Reflection (that is, the control of the entire population through the network).
- She takes great care of her companions (especially Noah, who raised her after her parents died), and is always ready to help and save them, even risking her life.
- She often tries not to kill her enemies, but only to stun them with her blows.
- She infiltrated Elysium's headquarters to collect data there.
- She obtained a valuable hard drive, the contents of which she intended to use to pay off her debt to Dogen, the black market boss who provided Faith with a fake identity profile when she was arrested.
- After learning that Noah was alive and in some kind of "Kingdom," she went there to rescue him.
- She saved a group of scientists from Reflection who were detained by K-Sec for "asking too many questions".
- She tried her best to save Noah, and when he died, she was very sad.
- She began to remember how Gabriel Kruger killed her parents, who wanted to withdraw from the Reflection project.
- She did not fight with her sister Kat, even when she beat her, but instead tried to remind her who she was and that she no longer worked for Gabriel. She was also saddened that Kat had left with Gabriel after all.
- She successfully disabled the launch of Reflection, thereby protecting people from the Conglomerate's control.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?
- She is a bit arrogant, because she tends to think that she can do any difficult job on her own, and that she doesn't need partners.
- She was going to beat Gabriel with a baton for killing her parents, despite the fact that he did not resist.
Explanation
Throughout the story, Faith breaks many laws, namely sneaking into corporate buildings, hiding and fighting with the police, etc. However, I would still not call Faith an anti-heroine, but all because the action takes place in the dystopian futuristic city of Mirrors, the showcase city of the Cascadia nation, ruled by a totalitarian corporatocracy. That is, in this game, the villains are in power, so Faith has no choice but to go against their laws to prevent their plan to brainwash the entire city.
Verdict
I'll say a yes.
