For the fight at the end they wanted it to be in the rain, but didn't have the funds for a rain machine. But as they were filming, a real rainstorm rolled in.

Also raised Mormon, and as far as I know she was still a practicing member of the Latter Day Saints when she was playing the role of Faith. Hella acting chops for someone so young playing such a dark and challenging role.

Without going into a lot of detail, it does tell us about her mom's drug use, and her going into the system. Also her dealing with physical and SA as a child. The latter is mostly implied. It's been nearly 2 decades since I read it, so I can't remember for sure. Faith likely has C-PTSD, and her behavior is a result of that trauma. Not an excuse, but it explains a lot. Slayers should really have specialized, free, therapy.
