''Would hide her beauty, so that she could escape his kingdom..''

SPOILERS

For all of those saying that it was Nerissa glamored as Faith in the first episode and that Bigby never met Faith. This sentence alone we hear in the ending, said by Bufkin, confirms that the Nerissa we've met was a glamored Faith all along.
The first time Bufkin says this is when he is telling the story of Faith, who had to ''hide her beauty'' so that she could escape her father.
The story repeat itself (sort of) in the wolf among us, has she glamored herself (hide her beauty) so that she could escape the crooked man grasp (...escape his kingdom)

The fact that this sentence was included in the flashback at the end, confirms this theory.

That leaves one question : Whose head was it in the episode 1 ?
My guess it was Nerissa's, the real Nerissa since the fake one (Faith) told Bigby at the end of episode 5 that the three of them (Faith, Lily, Nerissa) tried to escape altogether.
Truth is.. it was Lily and Nerissa who got killed, not Lily and Faith.
The fact that Dr Swineheart kept the head of Faith to do more test proves the point that it could also be a glamoured head and not Faith's head.

The problem for me is that hiding her beauty involves the donkeyskin cloak ... which she no longer has. And Swineheart seems far too competent to be fooled by a glamour.

The fact is we're given a lot of conflicting information. The timeline works perfectly if it's Nerissa glamoured as Faith, but the game keeps beating out heads over Faith being the disguiser. Well can we get a proper timeline on that? Georgie knows which one he killed; if Nerissa died, why is she dancing for him in episode 2? Did Faith rat out her own theft? Nothing lines up if it's Faith at the end of episode 5.

I figured with the last thing she said to me that there was some connection there.

However, didn't the body of Lily turn back into her troll body after a while? Why didn't Faith's head turn back into Narissa's?

Lily's body turned back to a troll when Bigby disassembled her glamour.

[TJ Rockafella]

Nerissa isn't dancing for him in episode 2.....Faith is. Cause she's glamoured as Nerissa. As for Faith ratting herself out, It was probably Nerissa who ratted them out still, but Faith caught wind, glamour switched with Nerissa in her sleep or something, and georgie killed Nerissa. The glamour doesnt end at death, as we know from Lily during Episode 2. There is NO WAY Nerissa isn't actually just Faith in glamour the whole time. As evidenced by all the sentences at the end

[Laface]

Lily's body does indeed turn back to a troll when bigby disable the glamour on it. While in the case of Faith... we never uncovered the body. And in the ending we also see a sentence from Snow that says ''Swineheart is running more test''.

[Guide]

There's no way of knowing- unless we get a hidden scene with Dr Swineheart saying that Faith's head is actually Nerissas, but you would think he would've mentioned that at some point earlier, like the time after Bigby gets shot. I don't though know why it mentions Dr. Swineheart and Faith's line in the ending, but Faith's line could equally apply to Nerissa glamouring as Faith really.

It could be either, just that one way or another will make more sense to different people.

Sorry, but you're writing a lot of fiction there. Faith glamoured Nerissa in her sleep (and she didn't notice this)? Faith "caught wind" ... how, exactly? It works a lot better if Nerissa just goes to Georgie trying to protect her friends ... not Faith intentionally getting her friends killed.

as i said in another thread, this makes no sense. Georgie kills Nerissa, Nerissa is dancing for him, Georgie doesnt notice. How is that even a theory? Georgie says he killed Faith, not Nerissa.

There isnt that much to think about, Nerissa was Faith in EP1, end of story.

[Laface]

There's a lot written in the flashback at the end pointing out at Nerissa being Faith. I really don't believe that the developpers would put these lines just to confuse us, that makes no sense.

There's conflicting information as several stages. The developers put in lots of confusing things. Whether it makes sense to do so or not is irrelevent; they did.

[Guide]

Another thing against it being Faith instead of Nerissa I suppose is, Nerissa was talking about Faith's actions, and they were in the third person. It could've been remorse, but there's the fact that Georgie killed Faith & Lily, not Nerissa & Lily.

I'm going to guess that the whole idea is for people to speculate on who it really was though, hence the potentially confusing aspects, so multiple theories is good.

Agree. Everything is so ambiguous and contradictory at times that I know the person not to trust is the person who claims to "know the truth" without a shadow of doubt. It's fun to speculate and we all have our own theories, but no one knows for sure.
