Isabeau "Bo" Dennis

The Fae: Supernatural beings who coexist secretly with humanity, grouping multiple species with different abilities and needs, governed by the Blood Laws after the Great War.

Fae of the Light: Faction associated with nobility and order, led by The Ash; exploits humans in a controlled way and practices formal ownership of servants.

Fae of the Dark: Faction linked to chaos and ambition, led by The Morrigan; more prone to gratuitous cruelty and uses humans as unwitting employees.

The Garuda: Primordial beast older than the Fae, which feeds on hatred between factions; possesses telepathy, possession and a fiery bird form, and only Nāga venom can weaken it.

The Dal Riata (The Dal): Trick's Irish pub, neutral territory and Fae nerve center, with an upper bar, forbidden library and secret tunnels in the basement.

Blood Laws: Legal code written by the Blood King after the Great War, which divides the Fae into Light and Dark:

· Between Fae factions (Light and Dark): Intimate or romantic relationships between members of opposing factions are considered treason and are punished with death by both clans. The only exception is during The Shoshain, the annual day of peace when free socialization is allowed.

· Between Fae and humans: Relationships based on mutual love are forbidden, while casual relationships are only tolerated in the short term. The children of these unions do not inherit Fae powers, and contact between the Fae progenitor and them is discouraged. An example is Lou Ann, a Dark Fae punished for falling in love with a human and having children with him.

YSABEAU "BO" DENNIS: Born in Hel, daughter of Aife (a succubus) and an unknown Dark King, but raised as a human under the name Beth Dennis by religious adoptive parents in Grimley; at 18, during her first sexual relationship, she accidentally killed her boyfriend Kyle Williams by draining his life energy, and her parents then revealed to her that she was adopted, which led her to flee and live ten years as a nomad, changing identities every time her nature forced her to kill, until a key encounter in which she saved Kenzi from a rapist unintentionally revealed her abilities to the Fae world, and Lauren Lewis, a human scientist of the Light, confirmed that she was a succubus and taught her to control her powers, after which, forced to prove her worth in a combat trial, she refused to join the Light or the Dark declaring "I choose the humans!". With an appearance between 20 and 30 years old (Fae age slowly after puberty), her eyes change to electric blue when she uses her powers although they are naturally dark brown, her hair is dark brown and reaches her waist, she is 1.73 m tall and has a toned and curvilinear body with C-cup breasts and ivory skin (tanned), with an alternative/urban style that reflects her nomadic life but sensual, blending with her succubus nature (a lot of skin generally and silk tunics at home), and a magnetic presence that combines vulnerability and ferocity. She is bisexual, independent and rebellious against Fae norms, acting according to her own moral code; she is loyal and protective with her friends (especially Kenzi) and allies, with internal conflicts that include resentment toward her adoptive parents for a repressive upbringing and the desire for a monogamous love although her nature pushes her toward promiscuity, valuing humanity equally as the Fae, unlike most of her kind. In her key relationships, Kenzi is her best human friend and companion, with an unbreakable sisterhood that makes Bo feel "normal" and provides her with constant emotional support; Dyson is a Fae wolf of the Light with whom she shares romantic and sexual love and from whom Bo can feed without harming him, in a relationship marked by deep love but hindered by lies and Fae magic; Lauren is a human doctor, romantic interest and ally who taught her to control her powers, in an intense but tense relationship due to Lauren's divided loyalties; Trick is her maternal grandfather (former Blood King) and acts as Bo's guide and protector, although he sometimes manipulates to achieve his goals; and Aife is her biological mother (succubus) with an extremely conflictive relationship, since she tried to kill Bo before revealing their blood bond, leaving emotional scars on both. As a succubus, Bo absorbs chi through kisses or sexual contact (with her eyes glowing blue), she can drain multiple targets simultaneously entering a state of "Dark Bo", she heals rapidly when feeding, she transfers energy replenishing the chi of others (an ability inherited from her father), she exercises basic mind control by temporarily captivating those who are receptive to her sexual attraction and she possesses enhanced perception by seeing auras that reveal sexual desires; as an unaligned Fae she has free access to the territories of the Light and the Dark and can use her powers in situations where other Fae are restricted (for example, in The Shoshain), but she is vulnerable to attacks from both clans due to lack of factional protection and her strength fluctuates depending on her last feeding, being more powerful after consuming Fae energy. She works as a private detective alongside Kenzi.
