Bo and Kenzi are BFFs. Their relationship was specifically created by Michelle Lovretta to be purely platonic and ongoing.
Bo was working as a bartender in a hotel bar when a blonde young woman, Kenzi, entered the premises and proceeded to pickpocket an unsuspecting patron. A salesman that had tried to hit on Bo offered Kenzi a drink he had spiked with a roofie, which she drank to the last drop, and Bo followed them to the elevator after they left the bar. Bo saved Kenzi from being raped and reluctantly took the drugged-out young human woman back to her shelter. Kenzi returned the favor by finding out where Bo had been forcibly taken and risked her life by interfering with the second trial of The Gathering that Bo was put through by the Fae, calling out Bo's name until Bo snapped out of the trance she had been put under by the Pain Eater (It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World).
The two became friends, roommates, and sidekicks; teaming up to create a Fae/Human private investigation agency. They had each other's back in a relationship that became a strong sister-friend bond.
