Lost Girl adapts characters, creatures, objects, deities, realms, and symbols found in the mythology, folklore, and legends of civilizations. They are reimagined and refashioned for the supernatural beings and subjects that appear in episodes.
Fae Universe
The Fae are often named or described with customary mythological or folkloric terms, but they are very different from traditional interpretation – for instance, sirens in mythology are always female, but not in the Lost Girl universe, where Hale is a siren.
Mythology and Folklore
The supernatural characters and subjects are often drawn from the mythologies, folklore, and legends of civilizations and specific cultures. Many have cognates across multiple cultures, but are primarily associated with one.
