things i have noticed or headcanoned based on the collapse dlc.

original 'faith’ was joseph’s wife. 

that is why joseph is so possessive of faith (calling her ‘my’ or ‘mine’ all the time). 

that is why he is absolutely loving to her but immediately shifts to anger if she dares to stray from the faith persona (talking about faith as a third person or stating her true name).

he makes the faiths wear his wife’s clothes and her perfume to keep the illusion and the comfort of still having her by his side.

faith is however NOT treated as a wife, but more like a daughter, despite being called the seed’s sister. joseph also places her in the frame of the daughter he lost. he infantilizes her, patronizes her, promises love and protection in exchange for complete obedience. faith is the ‘first daughter’ basically.

part of the ‘rite of passage’ to becoming faith was killing the old faith. rachel had to push the old faith from a great height, signifying that the old faith had lost her place and therefore didn’t survive the fall because she no longer walked the path, and then she took her place.

faith was angry a lot and she had bursts of anger when she was alone with joseph that were usually instantly disciplined. he never actually lay a hand on her, but there were other forms of abuse going on. no, faith was never entirely innocent, she enjoyed the power she had as faith and she enjoyed dishing out the treatment she was getting onto others. she can and will be cruel. but she also lived in fear of not being perfect enough in her ‘faith role’ to the point she would be the next one replaced.

what i feel like john’s and faith’s dynamic boils down to.
