Faye Valentine (フェイ・ヴァレンタイン Fei Varentain?) is a former wanted bounty head who later became a member of the bounty hunting crew aboard the Bebop. Although appearing to be no more than 23 years old, Faye is actually around 77 years old due to her being previously put into a cryogenic freeze after a space shuttle accident, wherein she spent fifty-four years in suspended animation.

During her adventures on the Bebop, Faye crosses paths with Spike Spiegel and Jet Black twice and makes herself at home aboard their ship the second time around, much to the consternation and disapproval of the two men, both of whom have their own reservations about women in general.
