IMPORTANT: Nerissa is alive Faith might be
I know there' countless Faith/Nerissa thread but I can assure you that they are both alive due to the evidence in game (and not what Bigby's maid concluded in the end) Ps: my sentences suck
We all know that is faith is an assertive strong firm woman and Nerissa is a shy and gentle woman.
In episode 1 The faith you meet is actually Nerissa.There's a dialogue option to ask her name whom she refuse to answer.Next, when she is reaching for something in her purse the purse matches her bracelets which you can assume that this is Faith usual attire.then you can see she's smoking Huff n Puff and she is holding it horizontal.When faith grabs Bigby's arm she quickly let go when she notices.(this a trait for a shy girl but faith is assertive)
When her head is found there are bruise on her which is odd because the time she was killed the bruises would have disappeared.Now you can assume that Nerissa is dead which is wrong.
In episode 2 when you meet Nerissa you can see her dancing for georgie who is complaing that she NEVER smile you can assume this is faith but it would be irrelevant to be faith because first when Bigby defends her she smiles and lateron she tells him "you're trying to place me" as she remembered her previous encounter when he said that he felt that they met before.And finally there a purse on a chair this likely Nerissa's purse.

You can see a note written **smile**, so it's must be a recurring problem not to smile.
If this was really faith glamoured as nerrissa she would been using her own make up stuff.there are found on the floor with a couple of coins.And there's a note left for her in her slot if Faith was indeed Nerissa the note would have been read and thrown for Georgie not to notice.
This is followed:
In episode 3 hen you learn that faith really did steal a picture from crane Proof

Dee or Dum noted that it's an easy job to find The picture (not to KILL faith) and then you can also note that faith was actually avoiding the crooked man which made Dee and Dum job harder and she started to contact her friends via notes.
In episode 4 the Nerissa you see in the office is actually Faith.Why?
She's holding her usual purse second she is smoking Shorette and she is holding vertically the cigarette unlike the supposed faith in episode 1.
And in the end she grabs Bigby's arm without any nervousness.In episode 5 when Bigby offers her a Huff n puff she gladly takes even though in the previous episode she refused to smoke it.And you can she is holding the cigarette horizontal while smoking it just like the supposed faith in episode 1.That means Nerissa indeed Nerissa in the end.
Before Georgie's death he positively say that the three girls Faith Lilly and Nerisa were plotting something to get out.If the trio wanted to get out they wouldn't do anything get them killed they would simply hide in plain sight just like Faith method's.
What really happened when Nerissa confessed everything to Georgie and ruined everything the fucker went to tell the Crooked now.With Georgie gone faith got a new plan and it's to get out of the sight.this is proven by her file as the twins couldn't find her so easily.
After some time Nerissa tried to warn Lily but she knew she wasn't with her scheduled appointment (Woody) so Nerissa found the note sent to faith and went to woody glamoured as faith went to do the "Job" and to ask about Lily's whereabouts
.
that means in the first episode faith is still alive the twins are searching for her at Lawrence's and woodsman's( remember when you had to choose between toad and lawrence) and to retrieve the photo from her and Bigby is trying to find the supposedly killer.

You can see Nerissa's name at the bottom which conclude that she's also also a prostitute not just a stripper and conclude that 100% Nerissa is alive after Lily's death. And her death happens a while back like probably the first one.
Debatable TheoryNerissa is the one who supposedly placed the head in front of the woodlands, but if Georgie is the one who killed the apparent faith wouldn't he dispose quickly of the body and head .This is exactly what happened with Lilly , Nerissa wasn't really able to take faith's head (that means her story doesn't quite make sense) . Nerissa wouldn't know where Georgie dumped the body and the head. supposedly she followed jersey the twins and Georgie when they were dumping the body but this so unlikely to happen.
WEAK THEORYLet's just say Nerissa knew the location of faith's and the real faith is really dead .Nerissa would only take the head and leave the body.But Toad's son and Snow found Lily's body in the river but they didn't find faith's body supposedly they ditch faith body in a different place which can be very likely for them to do.That means after Nerissa couldn't warn Lilly and after she met Bigby she took Faith's head in front of the woodlands to attrack Bigby's attention.Like I wrote , this theory is weak because previous evidence says that faith is still alive
Faith's head found in front of the woodlands evidences aren't quite strong and I couldn't find anything to help me.
Comments
Can we let Faith be dead? Can we just let go of every minor technicality and let the story continue/rest as was intended?
First The minor technicality can be important.All of this came from my head after I was putting two and two together.
Second the story intended to have a confusing ending.But I understand your opinion.
It's like bringing up the fact that Shepard breathed at the end of Mass Effect 3, even though he's still very much dead.
on the first link you have a picture of the wrong board. i would love more than anyone for faith and nerissa to both be alive trust me i would and you have made some great observations but i still don't get how the bruised head ended up in front of the woodlands in your theory care to explain please.
Shepard is alive if you get the breathe ending.
You can even see his/her lover or close friend smiling in the wrecked Normandy and then not putting his name tag under Anderson's.
It doesn't even matter, as he/she won't be back for ME4
9/10 good theory
I found detalis about everything except about the bruised head :S
Dammit this is confusing. Oh man this is an interesting topic!
Point and case. The same way it's arguable that Michael Jackson died, the "icon" so to speak and the contributions have died, therefor the person.
We never find out what brand Faith is smoking in Episode 1. Also, if we think that Nerissa was a girl at the beginning, then how would we know what character traits Faith has ?
Overall, nice theory with small, hardly noticeable details, but it has some holes.
Actually we never see the brand but the look of the cigarette is the same as Bigby's huff n puff.
Second , Nerissa is portraying faith when she goes to woody.
Remember Nerissa told Bigby in the end that she tried to warn Lilly but couldn't find her because Lily wasn't with her scheduled appointment.Lily left faith a note to take her place because she is going with Crane but Nerissa didn't know where she was so she glamoured herself as faith tried to go to the woodsman to ask about Lily's whereabouts.
And you're right there are holes made by Telltale.
Very nice theory.
I'm thinking now what if glamour can still be used on Fables even after they're dead? What I think is that Faith's head you find at the beginning could have actually been Lily's, and as Lily had a glamour to look exactly like Snow, Faith could have used the glamour, walked in normally at the office, stolen the head, glamoured it to now look like Snow and put it back again at the doorstep.
I don't remember if you find Lily's ribbon's when you search for evidences in her body, but if you don't than that may be because you already had her ribbon after you found her head glamoured as Faith.
Last thing, I remembered that when you looked for evidence in Lily's body glamoured as Snow you found out that Lily's coat had four buttons while Snow's had only 3, so you conclude that the glamour does not make you look perfectly the same as the person you're copying, if one of the Nerissa you find is actually Faith glamoured and the other is the real Nerissa, there should be something different between them so that we can tell them apart if all this theory is right.
Sorry for my bad english and for taking so long to post it, I just finished the game for the second time and was thinking about which one of the girls was really alive.
