Plot
Season 1
Main article: List of Lost Girl episodes (Season 1)
Bo is a succubus who grew up in an adoptive human family, unaware of her non-human nature and of the Fae world. Her succubus powers only become apparent to her when she accidentally kills her first love by draining him of his life energy, an act which forces her to flee her home. Bo exchanges her previously normal life for one without family or friends, moving from place to place whenever she kills again.
In the first episode, Bo saves a human girl named Kenzi; the two quickly become friends and Kenzi decides they should team up to create a Fae/Human detective agency. Confronted by the Fae elders with having to choose a side ("Light" or "Dark"), Bo declares herself neutral, deciding to side with humans after Kenzi risked her life to find what had happened to Bo for her own sake where most of the Fae simply saw her as another factor on the board. Throughout the season, Bo learns more about the Fae world and herself while she searches for information about her origins. Along the way, Bo also develops romantic relationships with both Dyson, a wolf shifter police detective and Lauren, a human doctor.
Season 2
Main article: List of Lost Girl episodes (Season 2)
With the world of Fae in chaos following Bo's explosive reunion with her mother, Bo must learn to "play the game" and navigate the inner workings of the Fae World in order to protect those who have helped to protect her. Bo finds her resolve to stay free challenged, and is forced to question her own morals and beliefs. While Bo grows stronger and learns more about who she really is, relationships will be tested and passions will ignite, but answers will not come easily.
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. 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. She is best friends with Kenzi and is romantically involved with both Lauren and Dyson. When Lauren's life was threatened and she was rendered near death, she displayed a strange, extremely powerful alternate persona, which drained the life from multiple individuals at a distance of several meters and declared that "there will be no more dark or light, only me". Near the end of the second season, it is revealed that Bo is Trick's granddaughter and is named after her grandmother, Isabeau.
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. She frequently assists and/or vexes Hale.
Kristen Holden-Ried as Dyson — A "wolf-shifter" and a detective in the human world. He is quite strong and possesses an 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 and is best friends with Hale, his Fae detective partner. In the season one finale, he sacrificed his love for Bo to give her the strength to defeat her insane mother as part of a deal with the Norn, leaving him with the memory of their relationship but unable to feel his old passion for her. He has since made efforts to remain friends with Bo, which was initially awkward as Bo tried to win him back. After being reunited with his old love Ciara, they began a relationship, which is hampered by Dyson's reluctance to reveal his encounter with the Norn and the price he paid, but eventually ended when he admitted that sacrificing his love for Bo cost him the ability to ever love again as wolves mate for life. His love was eventually restored by the Norn after a coerced deal with Kenzi.
Zoie Palmer as Lauren — Owned by the Ash, she serves as a doctor and scientist for the Light Fae. She had an instant attraction to 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. With Bo's help, she discovers that she was tricked by the Ash: Nadia was cursed by a Fae to have the appearance of the disease in order to induce Lauren to accept servitude, so the Ash could use her medical expertise to help the Fae. When she discovers this, she goes to the new Ash and demands he release Nadia, discarding her allegiance when he refuses. After being imprisoned by the Ash, and with the progression of a string of Fae murders with which he requires her assistance, he arranges to free Nadia. Lauren renews her vow of servitude in payment, this time for life, not aware that it was Bo who actually removed the curse (Bo acting under the false impression that if she tells Lauren the curse will return, this time permanently). Lauren tries to make her relationship with Nadia work despite her love for Bo. Nadia grows clingy and as Lauren tries to find the cause and cure for Nadia's dangerous, erratic behavior, it is revealed that Nadia is possessed by the Garuda. Bo is forced to kill Nadia to save Lauren. Lauren in her grief becomes distant, but later seeks comfort in the arms of Bo. Despite her chance to be free of the Ash and all the Fae, Lauren stays behind to help Bo fight the Garuda. In the season two finale, Lauren comes up with the weapon to help Bo kill the Garuda. She also helps Bo harness her definitive power that helps defeat the Garuda. As Bo battles the Garuda, Lauren saves a gravely injured Kenzi with Hale's help. At the end of season two, despite encouragement from Dyson, Lauren once again relinquishes her chance for freedom to stay with Bo.
Rick Howland as Fitzpatrick "Trick" McCorrigan — He is the owner and 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 Sage, he has the ability to alter fate. 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. He is extremely reluctant to use his blood powers, as they always carry a price; for example, his decision to write a future where Bo defeated Aife resulted in Dyson sacrificing his love for Bo to give her the strength to win. It has since been revealed that he is Bo's maternal grandfather.
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. Hale is good friends with Kenzi. His family is relatively high-ranking in Fae society, but he disdains their social contacts in favour of making his own way, although Bo and Kenzi used his contacts when they needed to infiltrate a high-class Fae event. He helps save Kenzi by using his siren's whistle to cauterize her wound.
Recurring cast
Emmanuelle Vaugier as Evony Florette Marquis, the Morrígan — The leader of the local Dark Fae. She's a leanan sídhe and runs a talent agency in the human world, where she represents young musicians and artists while stealing their talent.
Clé Bennett as the Ash — The leader of the Light Fae prior to and during the first season. 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 (Although willing to bend them for his own gain).[10] He was later revealed to be a Naga, having lost his other heads to use his venom for various purposes. He was killed in the final confrontation.
Lina Roessler as Ciara — An old love of Dyson's. While she is initially treated frostily by Bo and Kenzi, Bo eventually comes to consider her a friend. She was in love with Dyson, but he was unable to reciprocate this affection due to him already giving his love to Bo and it being taken by the Norn. She was known as the fairy queen which was told at her funeral in the "Into the Dark" episode.
Athena Karkanis as Nadia — Lauren's human girlfriend. Bo is later forced to kill her when the Garuda takes over her body.
Aaron Ashmore as Nate - Kenzi's boyfriend. Kenzi and Nate used to be neighbors when they were children. They broke up when the Garuda threat was most imminent and could have endangered Nate.
Paul Amos as Vex - A Mesmer. He could control people's actions against their will. Theoretically, he was Dark Fae, but practically, he did not care much. He had a childish personality and his powers helped him fulfill it.
Kate Trotter as The Norn - Able to grant you your strongest desire in exchange for that which you hold dearest. She was called upon by Dyson when Bo was fighting her mother. Due to a subtle error on Dyson's part, the Norn was able to take Dyson's love for Bo instead of his wolf. She later returned Dyson's love to him with the help of Kenzi's effective chainsaw persuasion tactics.
