His plan to turn into a giant demon snake is actually a big part of why he was able to reach her. Giles lacked the background and training to deal with a slayer like Faith because she was incredibly messed up before her powers were activated. Part of why she went of the rails was to escape judgement for the shitty stuff she did. She lacked morals and had a big ego with zero self esteem and that’s always a bad combination.

Now - is it fair to her? No, probably not. She was at the end of the day just a teenage girl. But... I also don't know if I really believe that Giles or the Scoobies were capable of reaching her and helping her, given where she was and where she was coming from and everything. I don't think that's something she was capable of hearing at that point.

I think it's mostly just a tragedy, basically.

NAYRT - I find this interesting, as I've read the opposite. I think you make a good point. I do think the Scoobies and the adults all needed to work harder to take care of her, BUT who knows whether she would've been receptive to that. Giles could have had Faith live with him, or Joyce could have taken Faith in. But she might have recoiled had either of them offered. Etc.

I don't think any of the kids could have reached her. She needed an adult. I do think a non-demonic adult could have offered her the same/similar level of support as the Mayor, theoretically. However, that would have require an adult who both understood where Faith was coming from and was willing to actually focus on her. The adults in BtVS were mostly either entirely selfish or incapable of focusing on more than one other person at a time, so Faith was pretty much doomed from the get-go.

I think there are non-evil adults who could possibly have offered Faith the help, support and attention she needed but I don't think either Giles or Joyce was that adult.
