A fiercely materialistic woman, she does whatever it takes to get what she wants. Faye is pretty much the anime embodiment of the women from detective movies. He does his fair share in bounty hunting like Spike, mostly gathering information and providing backup to Spike. He's the owner of the ship "Bebop", and best friend of Spike. With a good 'whatever' attitude, he's great fun to watch. He could be a master thief if he so choose, his dexterity and fighting skills are nearly unmatched. Spike describes himself as an "old fashioned cowboy." He spends a lot of the series searching for someone he once knew, I'll avoid details so I don't spoil anything.

Each character is given equal importance, though the show centers on the bounty hunter Spike. Unlike a lot of anime, there is no annoying character you wish they would have left out. The characters are well rounded and all very interesting. This isn't just some theme slapped on top of an anime, rather a critical part of the show. With episode titles like Asteroid Blues, Honky Tonk Woman, Waltz for Venus, and Jupiter Jazz, the space, class, and jazz heavy style is quite apparent from the beginning. A good way of thinking about the show is Lupin the 3rd mixed with Outlaw Star, with more depth. The sci-fi space twist doesn't take away from the show in the slightest, it adds much. The characters are as real as any old time bounty hunter / detective movie, and every bit as interesting. If you're not a fan of the show by the end of episode one alone, you probably won't be. A single episode of Cowboy Bebop packs more punch than several entire anime series I know of. This is one series you don't have to be an anime fan to appreciate, but you have to be willing to give it a fair chance. If you like dark stories with twists that really make you feel for the characters, you'll like Cowboy Bebop. If you like old time bounty hunter, private eye, or detective movies, you'll probably like Cowboy Bebop. If you like action, space, jazz, or comedy, you may like Cowboy Bebop. However, for anyone unfamiliar with the show, it's basically about space bounty hunters set to an old time jazz music soundtrack with plenty of classy old time stories and dark morals along the way.

Cowboy Bebop is a series that should need no introduction to anime fans.
