Bo is a small-town girl on the run after a disastrous sexual encounter with her boyfriend ends with his death. Bo learns that she is not human, but a succubus, who feeds on the sexual energy of humans. She and her kind are members of the Fae, creatures of legend, who walk among humans and feed off them in different ways. As she searches for the truth about her origins and runs from her inhuman urges, she vows to help those she meets along the way -- human or Fae -- who need to right a wrong.
Mention of "Vampire like" dark fae with character Siegfried in Season 1 episode 8 Vexed.
Lost Girl is a Canadian supernatural crime drama television series that premiered on the Showcase Television network in September 2010. The series is developed and produced by Prodigy Pictures. The series follows the life of a succubus named Bo, played by Anna Silk, as she learns to control her abilities, help those in need, and discover the truth about her origins. The show received positive initial reviews, and was renewed for a second season two months after its premiere...
Main cast:
Anna Silk as Bo –- A succubus, she has the power to steal people's life force through their mouths with a kiss, to bewitch people with a touch, and to feed from sexual energy during intercourse. Though at first she could not feed without killing, she has since learned to control her powers. She can only seem to go a few days without feeding before the drive overcomes her. Absorbing power from other Fae can increase her strength, although her 'default' power level when feeding from humans has not been established. She is best friends with Kenzi and is romantically involved with both Lauren and Dyson.
Ksenia Solo as Kenzi -– Bo's best friend and sidekick- declared as Bo's 'property' to allow her to participate in Fae society-, despite being a normal human, who suggested Bo use her neutrality to her advantage to become a private investigator. A scam artist who displays kleptomanic tendencies, she can speak Russian fluently and possesses excellent street-smarts. Despite their differences, she and Bo quickly became close, Bo choosing humanity rather than Fae because Kenzi risked her life to find out what had happened to Bo during her 'trial' where the Fae seemed to consider Bo just another factor in their game. She frequently acts as the comic relief. Her family is apparently highly connected. Kristen Holden-Ried as Dyson -– A wolf-shifter and a detective in the human world. Even in human form he is quite strong and possesses a very acute sense of smell. He is several hundred years old and very knowledgeable about Fae politics. A member of the Light Fae, his true allegiance is to Trick rather than the Ash. He is in love with Bo- the two occasionally engaging in sexual trysts while Bo was learning about her powers so that she could feed without killing- and is best friends with Hale, his Fae detective partner, although his love for Bo causes him pain because he cannot express it openly due to the issues surrounding her mysterious background.
Zoie Palmer as Lauren -– Owned by the Ash, she serves as a doctor and scientist for the Light Fae. Her position earns her the respect of the Light Fae, despite being human. She was bewitched by Bo during their first meeting and has since fallen in love with her. She has extensive knowledge of the different types of Fae and their abilities. In the first season, she taught Bo how to control her powers. It was later revealed that she has a human girlfriend named Nadia who is being kept in stasis because she contracted a disease that humans are normally immune to while on a humanitarian mission with Lauren. The Ash offered Lauren the help of the Fae curing Nadia, in exchange for her servitude, explaining why he "owns" her.
Rick Howland as Trick –- He is the bartender of the only Fae pub in town, The Dal Riata, which is neutral ground where Dark and Light Fae can go freely. Trick is very powerful; a Blood Seer, he has the ability to alter fate by writing in his own blood. Once known as the Blood King, he is on equal terms with the Fae elders, though few are aware of his true self. Compared to other fae (who have contempt for humans), he is very tolerant and even fond of humans, even trading away his most prized possession to help save Kenzi's life.
Recurring cast:
K.C. Collins as Hale –- Dyson's colleague and another Fae undercover agent in the police force. He is a siren, able to render humans and even other Fae unconscious or fascinate them with his whistle, so that they will docilely follow him. Hale is good friends with Kenzi, especially since they are both sidekicks to the "alpha dog." Like Trick and Dyson, he is relatively fond of humans.
Emmanuelle Vaugier as Ebony Florette Marquis, the Morrígan –- The leader of the Dark Fae and possibly the only one of her kind. She runs a talent agency in the human world, where she represents young musicians and artists, feeding off their talent and energy. She appears as a sexy young woman with a brusque attitude, assuming that Bo is lying and insisting that she should be killed.
Cle Bennett as the Ash –- The leader of the Light Fae prior to and during the first season. He appears as a quiet, aristocratic man with a soft voice, who thinks more of the future than the Morrigan does. He hoped to bring Bo into the Light Fae, and uses Lauren to try to manipulate her. He is badly injured by an assassin sent by Bo's mother, and is in a coma at the end of the first season.
Vincent Walsh as the Ash -- A Fae named Lachlan who wins the now-vacant position of the Ash; smug, sexy, dangerous, charismatic and a formidable force in his own right. Power-hungry, he is a stickler for rules.
