Faith Carter moved to Hope Valley after meeting Jack Thornton and Lee Carter at a hospital in Hamilton, where she worked as a nurse.

She fell in love with the beautiful town and made it her home.

She was once engaged, but after that engagement was nullified, she fell in love with Hope Valley's town doctor, Carson Shepherd. She's inspired by working alongside him and goes back to school to become a doctor.

When Carson is recruited to a position outside of Hope Valley, they break off their relationship, and she remains behind to become the town's new doctor.
