History Main / LostGirl

Not to be confused with the graphic novel ''LostGirls''.

* CanonSue: Bo. [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Everyone wants her]], she's TheChosenOne and will somehow fulfill The Prophesy, but she's too busy trying to find her mother and obsessing over whether to date Broody McAngstCop or [[HelloNurse the Hot Doctor]].

* CompleteMonster: Vex.

* HellIsThatNoise: The Banshee's wail.

* ParanoiaFuel: Literally caused by the Djieiene's venom.

* TheScrappy: Inverted. Among the viewers ThisTroper has spoken to, Kenzi is more popular than Bo.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Fae age a lot slower than humans, so this is true for most of the cast outside of Bo and Kenzie. Dyson talks about his past in terms of centuries, and Shawn in "Fae Day" talks about a dispute he had with his brother in the 1900s. These characters dating the traditionally-aged Bo and Kenzie isn't seen as very unusual by the rest of the cast.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Corpse-eaters and harpies are numbered among the Light fae.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Fae age a lot slower than humans, so this is true for most of the cast outside of Bo and Kenzie. Dyson talks about his past in terms of centuries, and the Fae that Kenzie crushes on in episode 9 talks about how he's *only* 200.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Fae age a lot slower than humans, so this could be true for ''most of the cast''.

* MindControl: Several types of Fae have some form of this power. The character Vex, who is a type of Fae called a Mesmer, can turn pretty much anyone into one of his PeoplePuppets. Bo can do this at a CharmPerson level using her succubus powers of attraction, while older, more experienced succubi [[spoiler: such as Saskia/Aife]] can make human men into thralls who are quite literally willing to die for them.

* HornyDevils: The protagonist.

* CanonSue: Bo. EveryoneWantsHer, she's TheChosenOne and will somehow fulfill TheProphesy, but she's too busy trying to find her mother and obsessing over whether to date Broody McAngstCop or [[HelloNurse the Hot Doctor]].

** And the Sidekick. And the [[HelloNurse Hot Doctor]. And TheDragon of the Dark Fae. Almost every female character we see has cleavage... the whole show runs on FanService.

** And the Sidekick. And the HotDoctor. And TheDragon of the Dark Fae. Almost every female character we see has cleavage... the shw runs on FanService.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: the fae world is divided between the Light fae, who make some token efforts to avoid being completely SelfishEvil, and the Dark fae, who... really, really don't. The more heroic characters try to hold themselves to a higher standard, but even they are all a bit morally ambiguous.

* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Bo's mother.

** Although the fae tend to dismiss humans as a threat, a determined human can seriously hurt and/or kill a fae.

* GreenThumb: Landwhites.

* DutchAngle: done in the episode "Arachnofaebia" to show the fear and increasing insanity of the victims of the MonsterOfTheWeek

* FilmNoir: the entire series is dark lit, and often takes place in underground bars and abandoned buildings or an AbandonedWarehouse. The protaganist is an BadassLongcoat AntiHero FemmeFatale PrivateDetective who deals with TheMafia, fae style. It even comes with FlashForward and FlashBack.

* TakeAThirdOption: Bo chooses to side with neither Light nor Dark Fae. It's made clear that this may not be the best idea.

* CulturalPosturing: All the Fae (except Bo) seem to look down on humans. Underfae don't get much respect either.

* MindOverMatter: Mesmers.

* PsychicNosebleed: [[spoiler: The Oracle in episode 5-but only for really intense visions]]
