Fay-Jean Lindsay is one of Evie's classmates at school. She shares with Evie an interest in the local musicians, although Drumstrings is not her first favorite. Fay-Jean drives Evie and Violet to the first rock concert they attend, but the other two girls soon start going without her, because Fay-Jean keeps leaving the nightclub to get in cars with different boys. Evie regards Fay-Jean as a senseless girl, but when Evie concocts the kidnapping of Drum as a publicity stunt, she enlists Fay-Jean as one of the kidnappers. Later, when Evie returns home after her father's unexpected death and finds Fay-Jean in bed with Drum, Fay-Jean is so unfazed that she actually asks Evie to zip up her dress. She then has the temerity to ask Evie for a ride home. Fay-Jean does not even have enough moral backbone to be ashamed of herself.
