Bo

Bo (short for Bonnie) might seem like a beautiful, elegant, lovely lady, but anyone who makes that assumption would be dangerously mistaken. She is, in fact, a ‘She-bite’, a type of vampire fairy that enjoys luring men into dancing with her in the forest, only to make a meal of them afterwards.

Bo is depicted as quite sweet, but she has a nasty and mean-spirited side. Her attempts to eat people are portrayed as less horrific and more humorous, childlike, and mischievous.

Her demeanour is that of a spoiled girl who doesn’t get her way at a birthday party. However, she presents herself to men as a benevolent and graceful woman, someone for whom “butter wouldn’t melt”.

Currently, she features in only one story, Smitten & Bitten, as the main antagonist, but there is certainly scope for her to make cameo appearances in other stories.

Bo is intended to be an amusing and cheeky character rather than a genuinely terrifying villain.

Her influences include Mina Harker from Dracula, Poison Ivy, Veruca Salt, and Miss Hannigan.
