Kenzi, proper name unknown, and also known as Kenz, along with a series of aliases, was the name of a character that appeared in the Lost Girl television series who was Bo's best friend and sidekick through the series. Kenzi has appeared in a total of thirteen First Season episodes, twenty-one Second Season episodes and twelve, though technically eleven, Third Season episodes.[2] She also appeared in one Fourth Season episode. Kenzi was human in nature and like Bo, considered herself unaligned with the Fae. The role was played by the actress Ksenia Solo. She first appeared in the premiere episode of the series It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World where she came into contact with Bo. Kenzi had gone to a bar and was the victim of an attempted date rape, but Bo rescued her before this could occur. Following the intervention of Dyson and Hale in bringing Bo to The Ash, Kenzi became aware of the Fae, moved in with Bo, and the two became inseparable.

The First Season of the series established that Kenzi was very intelligent, but also was a con artist and thief. As the series progressed, Kenzi became more aware and involved with the Fae through her friendship of Bo. The one constant being that Kenzi supported Bo regardless of what anyone else thought of her. The Second Season revealed much more about Kenzi's background, including the appearance of Nate, who became Kenzi's boyfriend for a short time. As well, Kenzi's desire to protect her friends, regardless of the cost, came to haunt her in several ways including Kenzi making a deal with The Morrigan and Kenzi's attack on The Norn. Kenzi also provided help when Bo faced off against The Garuda with her friends. The Third Season focused on Kenzi dealing with the aftermath of her confronting The Norn, being impersonated by a Kitsune and coming to a decision that the only way for her to help her friends was to risk becoming Fae herself in some way.

Through the first three seasons of the series, Kenzi acted not just as Bo's friend and sidekick, but in a way she became Bo's connection to her humanity. Bo confided in Kenzi about many parts of her life, including relationships. her fears and concerns. Kenzi was described by Bo at one point as her "sister". In spite of this, Trick once told Kenzi she was Bo's greatest liability because of her being human, but Bo only cared about one thing that was important to her. No matter what may come, Kenzi was someone that she could always depend on.

Trick has came to regard Kenzi as one of his family, helping Bo to protect Kenzi from others in the Fae world, sacrificing an item he owned to acquire a cure for a fatal disease that was killing Kenzi, and providing her with many insights about the Fae.

Kenzi's relationship with Dyson initially was very tenuous, but over time Dyson has come to respect Kenzi and regard her as important in his life even if he displays an attitude that he found her to be annoying. Dyson did note that he admired Kenzi's strength after an incident where the two swapped bodies and Dyson was forced to use Kenzi's body to stop an insane Dark Fae who attempted to kill The Ash.[3] Kenzi risked her life for Dyson when they were confronting The Garuda[4] Kenzi also confronted The Norn and forced her to return to Dyson his love which he had sacrificed for Bo at the end of the First Season.[5] Possibly the most devastating moment Dyson's relationship with Kenzi was when Dyson killed Inari, a Kitsune who had taken Kenzi's form. Dyson was visibly distraught at the possibility that he had killed the real Kenzi until Lauren confirmed that the body was Fae and therefore not Kenzi.[6]

Kenzi became friends with Hale as the series progressed, the two of them seeing themselves as "sidekicks" to Bo and Dyson initially, but over time a strong relationship emerged between them, hints of this becoming more appearing by the end of the Third Season. Hale has said that he appreciates Kenzi's courage and loyalty to her friends.[7] By the end of the Third Season, it was clear that Hale had romantic feelings towards Kenzi.

Kenzi's connection with Lauren was mainly in that they both cared deeply about Bo's well being, Kenzi at one point threatening Lauren's life if she hurt Bo. However during ConFaegion Kenzi and Lauren seemed to come to an understanding with each other that settled many of their differences.

Nate was an old friend and neighbor of Kenzi's who appeared during the Second Season of the series who knew Kenzi when she was young.[8] They had a romantic relationship, but Kenzi was forced to severe their relationship to protect Nate from the Fae and The Garuda.[9] During their relationship, Kenzi also made a deal with The Morrigan in which she promised The Morrigan a favor if she spared Nate's life after Nate was introduced to The Morrigan by Ryan.[10]

Kenzi also had a somewhat friendly relationship with Vex after he was forced to move in with Bo and Kenzi at the beginning of the Third Seaaon[11] and Kenzi grew to like Vex in spite of their previous dealings and confrontations.

In the third season finale Those Who Wander Kenzi was held prisoner by The Morrigan. She escaped with the help of Bruce, one of The Morrigan's henchmen who had a crush on Kenzi, in search of a means to become Fae.

She returned in the Fourth Season her memories altered and living a different life than she had with Bo. However her memories were restored and she went in search for Bo. She also appeared to have made a deal with Massimo, a Druid, to gain the appearance of Fae powers, but was not actually Fae. She eventually lost this ability soon after Bo returned from being missing.


Character History

First Season

The First Season of the series established that Kenzi was very intelligent, but also was a con artist and thief. As the season progressed, Kenzi became more aware and involved with the Fae through her friendship of Bo. The one constant in the season being that Kenzi supported Bo regardless of what anyone else thought of her.

Kenzi made her first appearance in It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World where she was the victim of a date rape attempt, but was rescued by Bo. She becomes more involved with Bo when Dyson and Hale kidnap Bo, leaving Kenzi to her own devices to attempt to locate where Bo had been taken. Discovering that location, she goes there in an attempt to help Bo and is present when Bo wins her freedom and declares herself to be unaligned with either of the Light or Dark Fae. By the end of the episode, Bo and Kenzi had become fast friends and faced their future, and the Fae, together.

In Where There's a Will, There's a Fae, Bo and Kenzi found a place to live and moved in there together. When Bo became involved with a Will O' The Wisp, Kenzi helped Bo to solve that mystery. It was also the first time that Kenzi had been to the Dal Riata and the first time that she came in contact with Trick. Kenzi also killed a Fae in this episode, a Dullahan.

In Oh Kappa, My Kappa, Kenzi suggests that Bo become a private investigator for cases that "no one else will believe". Bo is initially annoyed at this idea, but agrees to try out one job. That is investigating a disappearance of a college girl. Kenzi goes undercover as a college student and joins the sorority, Kappa Theta Xi. She tries asking about the missing girl, but the others think that she moved on to another sorority. At some point, Kenzi tried investigating the basement, but was stopped by the girls, making her suspicious. To Kenzi's surprise, the initiation is nothing sinister at all. When Bo goes missing, Kenzi enlists Dyson to help look for her. This is when Kenzi discovers that he is a wolf-shifter. After the case has been solved, Kenzi convinces Bo to tell Dyson what Bo feels about him.

Faetal Attraction found Kenzi trying to help Bo get over being rejected by Dyson in the previous episode. She also came to the realization, in her first meeting with Lauren that Lauren was in love with Bo. Kenzi also had her first experience with Bo having sex with another Fae, being covered by plaster being knocked off the ceiling, dealing with loud screams of passion, and eventually Kenzi opened a bottle and drank it as quickly as possible. Kenzi helped Bo deal with a Fury who was jealous over a human's relationship with her husband. Kenzi was knocked out at one point, but survived. Trick confronted Kenzi about a missing 300 year old bottle of mead, which Kenzi took.

In Dead Lucky, Kenzi is trying to accept a job from a client about her possessed cat. But because Bo fails to show up, having been captured by the Dark, the potential client leaves, calling Kenzi the sidekick. For the whole episode, Kenzi is treated much like the sidekick to Bo. Hale advises that if she wants to not look like a sidekick, she needs to not act as such. She had attempted to solve Bo's case on her own, only to be captured and put in the trunk of a car. She is rescued by Dyson, who promises not to tell Bo.

During Food for Thought, Kenzi came close to death as a result of her and Bo's inexperience with Fae culture. Bo and Kenzi helped Lauren as she tended to a sick Aswang. Kenzi ate some soup that made the Aswang ill and became gravely ill as well. Over the course of the episode, Kenzi became progressively sicker. Trying to help Kenzi, Trick gave up a valuable item he possessed in an attempt to make Kenzi feel better. This marked the point at which her relationship with Trick began to change. As well, Dyson's relationship with Kenzi changed when he went to bring her back to Bo and her friends when Kenzi left to be alone, expecting to die. Dyson comforted Kenzi, eventually promising Kenzi that he would take her somewhere safe to stay and in doing so, Kenzi began to trust him more than she had in the past. Lauren and Bo found the cure and saved Kenzi who began to recover at the end of the episode to Bo's relief.

In ArachnoFaebia, Kenzi was the victim of an Djieiene, an UnderFae creature that was similar to a giant spider. She was bitten and came to believe that Bo and her other friends were trying to kill her. She, along with Bo and Hale were rescued by the actions of Lauren and Dyson and recovered from the effects of the poison.

During Vexed Kenzi was at Bo's side as she attempted to save a Fae that seemed to have information about Bo's mother. Kenzi also at one point in the episode was seen playing a video game called Robot Hookers. In Fae Day Kenzi became romantically involved with a Fae who was marked for death by a Banshee. She consoled him through the episode and made him believe that he would survive and the Banshee was wrong. However, in the end, he was killed and passed away in Kenzi's arms. This was the first time that Kenzi had any kind of romantic relationship in the series, if only briefly. She also learned about one of the Fae's most important holidays and more about Fae life.

In the The Mourning After Kenzi's relationship with Bo was strained when a Succubus named Saskia appeared and interjected herself into Bo's life. By doing so, Kenzi found herself pushed away from Bo during the episode and Saskia displaced Kenzi in Bo’s life. While this occurred, Trick asked for Kenzi's help when a business associate arrived to claim an item from Trick which seemed to have vanished. Kenzi agreed to help Trick locate the missing item by helping to summon a Lightning Bird for him. They struck an agreement that Trick would forgive Kenzi's bar tab and she would have free drinks for life, as long as it was nothing "top shelf." When Kenzi did so, the Lightning Bird told her that Trick could get whatever he wanted if he wrote in his book of blood again, but the powerful were the most stubborn. At the end of the episode, Kenzi told Trick that the Lightning Bird told her that Trick was powerful and that he had a book of blood. Trick claimed not to know what Kenzi was talking about, but Kenzi replied that “it takes a con to know a con”, and that he had secrets. Afterwards, Kenzi returned home to find Bo devastated and Bo told Kenzi that she missed her.

In Faetal Justice, Kenzi claimed that she once ran a con posing as a chef, but when her cooking was tried by Bo and Kenzi it was awful. Kenzi then helped Bo solve a mystery over Dyson's seeming responsibility for the death of a Dark Fae. Kenzi also made a friendship with a woman named Portia who was at the center of the mystery, the two agreeing to keep in touch in the future.

In (Dis)Members Only a friend from Kenzi's past, Neville, asked for her help in finding out what happened to a missing relative. To do so, Bo and Dyson posed as a married couple to investigate a country club while Kenzi worked as an employee there. Kenzi also received a foot massage from Dyson during the episode. Kenzi also teamed up with Hale to investigate the club where the missing relative was last seen. During this time, the pair seemed to become closer in their understanding and acceptance of each other. Eventually Kenzi found that a Land Wright was responsible for the deaths, almost becoming a victim herself. Neville also revealed that Kenzi's past streetname was Meow Meow.

In the season finale Blood Lines, Kenzi was the only one of Bo's friends she could trust when she discovered that everyone else had been lying to her about what they knew about her past. It was also revealed that Kenzi enjoyed romance novels. Kenzi was present when Bo came into possession of the Koushang, an amulet which was proof against the powers of Succubi. Kenzi also was present when Bo fought Aife, her mother, and saw Aife fall to her seeming doom.

At the end of the First Season, Kenzi had become Bo's most trusted friend and "bestie." She also came to represent Bo's connection with her humanity. Through the events of the season, Kenzi also had gained the respect of Hale, Dyson and Trick though she did not have a good relationship with Lauren. Her life had been threatened because of her lack of knowledge about the Fae several times, but in spite of some setbacks, she remained at Bo's side. She had begun to learn some self-defense and weapon skills during the season, having killed Fae in self-defense.

Second Season

The Second Season revealed much more about Kenzi's background, including the appearance of Nate, who became Kenzi's boyfriend for a short time. As well, Kenzi's desire to protect her friends, regardless of the cost, came to haunt her in several ways including Kenzi making a deal with The Morrigan and Kenzi's attack on The Norn. Kenzi also provided help when Bo faced off against The Garuda with her friends.

Kenzi's first appearance in the Second Season was in the premiere episode Something Wicked This Fae Comes where she was first seen helping Bo and Hale collect one of The Ash's UnderFae pets that had escaped after Aife attacked the leadership of the Light Fae at the end of the First Season. Kenzi then helped Bo deal with a group of Fae who were attempting to take control of the lands that The Ash held. Kenzi also had been providing Bo with emergency feeding opportunities since Dyson vanished at the end of the previous season.

During I Fought the Fae (And the Fae Won), Kenzi prepared herself to deal with Dyson dumping Bo, expecting to have to deal with an enraged Bo, but did not have to do so. Kenzi was unable to help Bo and Hale deal with the choosing of a New Ash as she was human, but she was present when Bo learned of what was involved with the choosing of a New Ash. Kenzi also discovered in this episode, along with Bo, that Hale's family was one of the Noble Fae clans. When the actual contest for choosing the New Ash occurred, called the Stag Hunt, Kenzi was present to help the other in their plans. Kenzi also talks about what she calls the "Tim effect" with Bo when she is suffering over the loss of Dyson's love.

Scream a Little Dream found Kenzi hiring a Brownie to look after the home she shared with Bo. However, after she forgot Trick's warnings about how to look after a Brownie, things fell apart soon after, the Brownie departed to help another Fae. Kenzi also helped Bo deal with a Mare who had been harming humans and attacked Bo as well.

Mirror, Mirror was a Kenzi-centric episode where Kenzi, while drunk, accidentally invoked the witch Baba Yaga to put a curse on Dyson for breaking Bo's heart. Kenzi tried to lift the curse by seeking out her aunt, Ludmila, a fortune teller. When this went wrong, Kenzi sacrificed herself to protect Bo and was trapped in Baba Yaga's realm. Eventually Kenzi managed to defeat Baba Yaga and free her other captives. Afterwards Kenzi promised to be more careful in the things she did, also telling Bo that she needed to keep fighting for Dyson and Lauren and for what made her happy.

In BrotherFae of the Wolves, Kenzi was present when Lauren left The Ash and asked to stay with Bo and Kenzi. Kenzi also had a moment when she tasted some of Lauren's baking and it was, apparently, delicious. Kenzi went undercover with Bo, posing as a pair of Romanian sisters who were arms dealers, in an attempt to win an auction and recover a missing Mongolian Death Worm.

During It's Better to Burn Out Than Fae Away, Kenzi was attacked by The Ash when he confronted Lauren and demanded she return to him. Kenzi also learned about The Morrigan from Trick as well as having to deal with Tryst, an artist that was infatuated with Kenzi. When Vex attacked Bo, Kenzi stopped him by threatening him with a knife placed between his legs. Kenzi also warned Lauren that if she hurt Bo, Kenzi would kill her for doing so. Kenzi also discovered during the episode that Hale's voice had the ability to cure hangovers when he took pity on her and helped Kenzi with hers. Bo informed Kenzi that, according to the Morrigan, Lauren had a girlfriend named Nadia and asked Kenzi what she should do. Kenzi's answer was that she should allow Lauren to explain.

In Fae Gone Wild Kenzi talked with Bo about the item The Morrigan indicated would be the solution to Lauren's issues with The Ash. When Bo suggested that she could be underhanded and selfish, Kenzi replied "it's good to have dreams" in a teasing way. Kenzi helped Bo deal with a group of Fae who were being held against their will, eventually freeing them. Kenzi was hypnotized by the Fae women, but did recover from their effects on her.

During Death Didn't Become Him Hale and Kenzi had to deal with a precocious teenage Fae who complicated their lives while Hale was placed in charge of looking after her on a night on the town. Kenzi made fast friends with Tori, the Fae she was helping Hale to look after, although at one point Kenzi seemingly caused Tori's death. However Dyson helped Tori to recover from her allergy attack. Misunderstanding the relationship between Hale and Kenzi, Tori offered to buy Kenzi from Hale but Hale refused saying that Kenzi held a special place in his heart.

Original Skin found Kenzi and Dyson switching bodies due to the actions of an escaped insane Fae prisoner. Dyson, while in Kenzi's body was the only one able to leave the Dal Riata and manage to stop the Fae prisoner from killing The Ash while in Lauren's body. Kenzi, while in Dyson's body drinks like a fish, amazed that she isn’t getting drunk and when Dyson leaves to save The Ash, Kenzi begged him to look after her body, noting that she was deathly allergic to peanuts. At the end of the episode, Kenzi was restored to her body. Dyson had gained new respect for Kenzi, telling her that “You very well may be the strongest person that I have ever met.” Kenzi replied that she found “You felt very empty and missing something.”

Raging Fae found Kenzi dealing with the arrival of Mel, the sister of the first person Bo killed, when she met with Kenzi and told her of what happened and how finding Bo and making her pay for her brother's death. Kenzi involved Hale in trying to protect Bo, which did not work, but eventually through Trick's request to Hale, Mel was turned away from Bo. When Bo was in a panic during the episode, and told Kenzi that she would have to leave, Kenzi insisted that she would go with Bo no matter the cost after Bo told Kenzi the entire story of how she killed her first love. When Bo was fighting a boxing match, Kenzi was there in Bo's corner to encourage her.

During Can't See the Fae-Rest Kenzi and Bo went undercover with Ciara's help to investigate a series of murders. At one point Kenzi became a suspect when she was seen with a murder victim and her police rap sheet was referenced with some of her aliases being listed. They included: Kenzi Williams, Kenzi McAdams, Kenzi Rogers, Rhino Levine, Ninotchka Alexandrovitch and Toni Soprano. However Hale managed to get Kenzi out of the situation before it turned badly for her.

In Masks Kenzi planned a surprise birthday party for Bo and this brought her into contact with Nate, a neighbor she had a crush on in her childhood. Based on Kenzi telling Nate that it had been sixteen years since she last saw him, and she was six at the time, this meant that Kenzi was 22 years old at the time of this episode in the series. At the party Kenzi and Nate were the band. When Kenzi introduced Nate to Bo, he told her that Kenzi said Bo was the big sister that Kenzi never had but always wished for."

During Barometz. Trick. Pressure. Kenzi and Nate's relationship continued to grow, with Nate eventually asking Kenzi to leave town with him on a tour which Kenzi agreed at the end of the episode.

Table for Fae was an important point in Kenzi's relationship with Nate and also caused Kenzi to agree to a request from the Morrigan to save Nate's life. Kenzi and Nate returned from their trip to discover Bo in bed with Ryan. After this awkward moment passed, they all spent time together at a restaurant, but it did not go well. Ryan attempted to do something good for Nate’s career, he thought, by contacting The Morrigan, who recognized Kenzi at their meeting. The Morrigan offered Nate a recording deal but Kenzi made a deal with The Morrigan to save Nate’s life, which would have been the price for his success. The deal was that Kenzi would owe The Morrigan a favor whenever she wanted to collect it. Afterwards, Nate blamed himself for not getting the deal and Kenzi felt guilty for destroying Nate’s dreams. Kenzi also demanded that Bo end her relationship with Ryan and Bo agreed to do so.

In School's Out, Bo was still in a relationship with Ryan and trying to hide that fact from Kenzi who believed that Bo dumped him. Dyson, while investigating odd occurrences at at high school, drew Bo and Kenzi in: Bo as a teacher, Kenzi as a student. Kenzi's time undercover did not go well with her getting into a fight with other students and being in detention at least once. Kenzi also became the target of one student's attentions which resulted in Kenzi becoming effected by what claimed two other students in the school so far. Bo solved the mystery and Kenzi recovered from the affliction.

During The Girl Who Fae'd With Fire, Hale asked Kenzi to pretend to be his girlfriend in order to attend an upcoming event where the Noble Fae families would be attending. Kenzi agreed to do so, but as a result Nate believed that something was going on and Kenzi was not telling him about it. When Hale introduced Kenzi as his girlfriend to his family, they rejected Kenzi and expressed their hate of humans in general, as well as their racial views of anyone not of their own family. Nate confronted Kenzi at the event about what was going on and they reconciled their relationship, Kenzi expressing her love for Nate and explaining why she was acting as Hale's girlfriend.

Fae-nted Love found Kenzi helping Trick when Bo lost her memory due to the effects of another Fae. Trick also uses Kenzi's blood in order to free Ryan from her influence, something that neither Bo or Ryan was aware of. Kenzi also confronted Bo about lying to her about Ryan and they reconciled their relationship as Nate left Bo's life.

Truth and Consequences was a pivotal moment in Kenzi's arc in the series. Kenzi and Nate's relationship continued to grow, Nate at one point asked Kenzi to take it to the next level, meaning for them to become a real couple. Kenzi met with Trick and he told her that the coming fight with The Garuda was not her fight and she should live her own life. Trick explained to Kenzi that Bo's love for her was a weakness and she must leave with Nate to remove that weakness. Kenzi talked with Bo and explained that as a result of all of the threats they face she could not continue to lie to Nate or have him come to harm because of Bo's life. Bo told Kenzi that she wanted Kenzi to leave with Nate because she could not allow anything to happen to Kenzi when The Garuda attacked. After all of this, Kenzi lied to Nate and told him that they could not be together in order to protect him. She told him that she did not love him in order to send him away. This crushed Nate's heart and he left, Kenzi being heartbroken for what she did. Afterwards, Kenzi told Bo what she did and that where she belonged was with Bo, and Bo's answer was that she needed Kenzi more than ever after Bo was forced to kill Nadia, Lauren's girlfriend.

In Lachlan's Gambit, Bo, Dyson, Hale, Kenzi and Ciara confronted The Garuda, but did not succeed. Ciara was killed and Dyson covered for the rest as they tried to escape. Kenzi however did not escape with Hale and Bo, instead she turned back to save Dyson and succeeded in doing so, which proved her bravery once again.

Kenzi made some life altering choices during Into the Dark. Kenzi confronted Dyson and made him understand that he could not give up for everyone's sake, and Bo's in particular. Dyson saw The Norn with Kenzi and demanded his love to be returned, but was rejected. Kenzi then took things into her own hands and attacked The Norn's sacred tree and began to cut it down with a chainsaw. This forced The Norn to agree to Kenzi's demands and she gave Kenzi a bottle which contained Dyson's love. As this happened, One of the gifts The Norn collected fell on Kenzi's hand by accident, which may have given her a Fae power. Kenzi then returned Dyson's love to him, but the consequences of the accident she suffered are not known. As well during this episode, Kenzi learned that Trick was in fact Bo's grandfather. At the end of the episode, Kenzi stood with Bo and her friends to confront The Garuda once more and also had to deal with Vex moving in with her and Bo.

The season finale Flesh and Blood had Kenzi find the location of The Garuda when Trick was kidnapped. The group confronted The Garuda, who was holding Trick in an insane asylum. In the course of doing so Kenzi is severely injured but Hale manages to use his powers to stop Kenzi bleeding to death. Partly recovered, Kenzi demanded to be taken to Bo. When Bo began to slip away into darkness and insanity after winning the battle against The Garuda, Kenzi performed a ceremony to unbind everyone from Bo and stopped it from continuing. In the aftermath, something was effecting Kenzi causing her arm to glow with power, the source of this being the liquid spilled on her when she confronted The Norn.

At the end of the Second Season, Kenzi had found Nate and lost him again, made a deal with The Morrigan to save Nate's life and still found herself owing The Morrigan that favor. She overcame The Norn for Dyson, returning the love he lost. Kenzi also suffered from the effects of something being spilled on her as a result of her confronting The Norn, the effect of which were still to be discovered. She had gained more respect for her abilities and further had cemented her relationship with Bo and the others in the series, becoming close to all of them.


Third Season

The Third Season focused on Kenzi dealing with the aftermath of her confronting The Norn, being impersonated by a Kitsune, and coming to a decision that the only way for her to help her friends was to risk becoming Fae herself in some way. Her relationship with Hale ebbed and flowed through the season, culminating in Hale revealing his feelings for Kenzi.

Kenzi's first appearance was in the season premiere Caged Fae where she was part of an undercover investigation launched by Hale as the Acting Ash. Kenzi visited Bo in prison and used the name Kenzi Von Clare while posing as Bo's pet human in order to smuggle an item Bo needed to protect herself. Dyson confronted Kenzi over what happened with The Norn, but she did not reveal what happened or that she was suffering from the effects of the liquid that was split on her.

In SubterrFaenean, Vex and Kenzi attended an art festival underground and witnessed Kenzi's friend Aussie vanish in the middle of a show as an actor was killed. Kenzi also revealed that after she ran away from home, she lived in the sewers and other underground places because she had nowhere else to go. Some street people told Kenzi of an abandoned subway line and the tent city that sprung up there and that is where she met Aussie, who saved Kenzi when she was suffering from pneumonia. While searching for Aussie, both Bo and Kenzi were mesmerized by a Fae who at one time was known as the Pied Piper for a short time.

During ConFaegion, Kenzi came into contact with the Staff of Righteousness, which gave Kenzi Fae-like abilities, but Trick provided Kenzi a means to be free of it. Kenzi also managed to turn Vex against The Morrigan during the episode, befriending Vex and receiving pointers about makeup from him. Kenzi also spent time with Lauren, the two eventually coming to terms and gaining new respect for one other.

Fae-de To Black found Kenzi trying to talk to the others about the rash she had and that it was getting worse, but no one listened. Kenzi also found herself blocked from seeing Hale through the actions of Trick as she was interfering with Hale's duties as The Ash. At the end of the episode she was pulled screaming by a force into darkness.

Faes Wide Shut was an odd point in the series with regards to Kenzi. A Kitsune had kidnapped Kenzi in the previous episode and was impersonating her, though this was not fully revealed until the following episode. During this episode, Faux Kenzi as she came to be known, acted oddly and eventually by the end of the episode made a critical mistake when she ate a dish which had peanuts in it, something that the real Kenzi was allergic to.

The Kenzi Scale overall was a Kenzi-centric episode in that it focused on Bo attempting to prove that Kenzi had been replaced by someone impersonating her. Bo discovered, with the help of Tamsin, that Kenzi had been replaced by a Kitsune named Inari and eventually found Kenzi trapped in a cave and rescued her. Dyson killed Inari when she was impersonating Kenzi and attacked him. He believed that he had killed Kenzi until Lauren proved that it was not Kenzi which proved Bo's assertion that Kenzi was a fake to be correct. During the episode. Inari told Kenzi that she had gained the glamor powers of a Kitsune through her exposure to the liquid that fell on her when Kenzi confronted The Norn.

In There's Bo Place Like Home, Kenzi accompanied Bo when she returned to her home town to confront her mother as part of her Dawning. Kenzi also injects Bo several times during the episode with a drug that Lauren created to her Bo with the effects of the Dawning. Kenzi also discovers that Bo's human name was Beth through the friends Bo once had in high school. Kenzi also discovered that there is a threat from an UnderFae in the community and helps Bo to overcome that threat. At the end of the episode, Bo confronts Kenzi about hiding behind jokes, but Kenzi brushed that off before Bo pointedly asked Kenzi about her seeing The Norn, but the results of that question were not revealed.

During The Ceremony, Kenzi was present when Stella attempted to have Bo feed on humans in order to prepare her for what was to come. Kenzi at one point confronted Stella, telling her that Bo would: "surprise the shit out of you" before leaving with Bo. Kenzi also spoke with Bo before the Dawning and promised her that she would be there for Bo regardless of what happened, even if it was the worst case possible. Stella spoke with Kenzi before the Dawning as well, attempting to make her leave, but Kenzi refused. As well during their conversation Stella said to Kenzi that "Your scars are so deep." Kenzi later confided in Trick about the rash she had and that the Kitsune told her that she could be Fae. She also told Trick that Stella told her what happened to humans that were abandoned by the Fae that claimed them. Trick revealed to Kenzi that he felt like Kenzi was family to him and promised to look after her if something happened to Bo. Within the Dawning, Kenzi appeared as a caricature of herself, demanding that Bo allow her to return to her old life. Kenzi was also present when Bo returned from her Dawning with the body of Dyson and saw Bo take the Chi from everyone in the room, including herself, in order to save Dyson's life. This was, according to Kenzi, the first time that Bo had taken Chi from her.

Kenzi went undercover again in Delinquents when she, Bo and Dyson went undercover in a troubled youth camp to investigate a series of deaths. Kenzi befriended the other youth by proving her abilities in being able to fence merchandise and jimmy open doors with a credit card. Kenzi also spoke with Dyson about the events of the Dawning and his relationship with Bo, but she was unconvinced when he said things were fine. At a later point, Kenzi asked who around her could make pipe bombs. All of the teens and Kenzi raised their hands, and a moment later Lauren did as well which provided another clue to Kenzi's talents as well as that of Lauren.

During Adventures In Fae-bysitting, Kenzi accompanied Bo in an investigation of an odd babysitter. Kenzi posed as Bo's sister who, according to Bo, had just left rehab. She also helped Trick to solve the mystery of the babysitter but opened new questions that Bo needed to have answered. At one point Kenzi substituted for the babysitter and looked after a precocious young boy who she managed to make like her by telling him a story about a superhero named Super Kenz. At the end of the episode, after Bo took the babysitter's life at her request, Kenzi comforted Bo and helped her to come to terms with what she had done. While doing so, Kenzi learned that Bo believed that she had seen her father during the Dawning and felt like she needed to find him.

Hail, Hale marked the beginning of a turning point for Kenzi in several ways. At first she helped Trick prepare the Dal Riata for Hale's inauguration, but the events of the episode turned the Fae world and Kenzi's relationship with it to a new direction. Kenzi found herself being confronted by Massimo, a Druid who over the course of the episode placed doubts within Kenzi about her relationships with Bo and her other friends and placing the idea in her that he could make her Fae which would begin to haunt her more and more. After the Dal Riata was attacked and Dyson was kidnapped, Kenzi found herself making a deal with Massimo for information which Bo needed, the price of that information being a kiss from her. It was revealed that Massimo needed that kiss to complete a spell which was to control Bo and allow her to be captured. After The Morrigan overthrew Hale as being The Ash, Kenzi found herself declared an enemy to the Fae and was imprisoned by The Morrigan. Hale also revealed to Kenzi his feelings for her and secretly gave Kenzi an item without The Morrigan knowing of him doing so.

The season finale Those Who Wander found Kenzi held against her will by The Morrigan who attempted to force Kenzi to give her information about Bo. During this, Kenzi was made to believe that Trick was dead and Dyson] was likely dead as well, which was a lie told by The Morrigan. Kenzi was threatened with torture and death by The Morrigan, but when she attempted to shock Kenzi with a teaser, it had no effect on her. Afterwards Bruce revealed to Kenzi that Hale had sacrificed an item which had been protecting Hale from harm to protect her. Kenzi then escaped with the assistance of Bruce, The Morrigan's henchman who had a crush on her, and went in search of the Druid Massimo, intending to become Fae so that she could help Bo and her friends.

At the end of the Third Deason, Kenzi did not fully understand the implications of what had happened to her at The Norn's home. She had a closer relationship with Hale but also had found herself threatened by The Morrigan whom Kenzi still owed a favour to. Kenzi also had a promise from Trick that she was seen by him as part of his family and would look after her.As a result of the events of the season finale and a belief that she needed to be stronger to help her friends who she believed were in danger, she made the choice to locate a Druid with the help of Bruce, one of The Morrigan's henchman that had a crush on her. With the deterioration of the world of the Fae, Kenzi's future was uncertain as the season came to a close.

Fourth Season

Between the Third and Fourth Seasons, according to the webisode UPYURS6, Kenzi and Bruce were making their way to see Massimo, a Druid, for the purpose of Kenzi becoming Fae. They encountered a Troll who would not allow them to pass over his bridge unless Kenzi agreed to guard it for him for two weeks. Bruce did not allow that to happen and took over the guarding of the bridge so Kenzi could continue. However this meant that when Kenzi met Massimo, she was alone and without any help.

Kenzi's first appearance in the Fourth Season was in the season premiere In Memoriam, which could be considered a Kenzicentric episode overall. As a result of the actions of persons unknown, the memories of Bo were wiped from existence which resulted in a change in the memories of everyone, including Kenzi. Kenzi continued to live in the same place as she did previously with Bo, but did so by herself. She also took on the role of a private investigator similar to that which she and Bo had done previously. Kenzi also had a more intimate relationship with both Hale and Dyson, seemed also to have a relationship with Lauren, but her friendship with Trick seemed to be significantly changed. Kenzi also appeared to have made a deal with the Druid Massimo to obtain the powers of a Fae, assuming in doing so it would make her Fae. However she was tricked by Massimo who only used spark extract, taken from the genitals of a Sprite, to give Kenzi the ability to shoot sparks from her fingertips, but did not make her Fae. Kenzi was hired by Aife to locate her missing daughter, Bo, but had no proof of Bo's existence. However she did reveal evidence of memory tampering which led Kenzi and Dyson to finding the source of the memory loss. After a confrontation with Vex and obtaining a device from a rare Fae item collector, Kenzi with the help of Dyson were able to restore the missing memories. This had several consequences, including that Kenzi now was on a search for Bo.

In Sleeping Beauty School, Kenzi was devastated by Bo being missing and this began to overcome her, pushing all other concerns from her thoughts. Dyson then asked her to look after Tamsin who Dyson had found, but she had been reborn and was a child once more. Hale, at the urging of Dyson, revealed his feelings for Kenzi and she did as well, though the ongoing changes in Tamsin made any resolution of their relationship impossible. As a result of Tamsin flushing Massimo's portion down the toilet, Kenzi was forced to use an item she stole from Trick in order to pay off her debts and went to see Massimo to do so.

During Turn to Stone, Kenzi was overjoyed to have Bo back home, but she was still responsible for Tamsin until Tamsin had a final growth spurt and became an adult. At one point Kenzi revealed her relationship with the Druid Massimo, explaining to Bo that she left her alone and there was no one for Kenzi to turn to for protection when she needed it the most. Kenzi also revealed to Bo many secrets she had and some of the lies that she had told Bo in the past came out. This stressed their relationship to the point that it almost broke, but they did reconcile, Bo explaining that she and Kenzi are family and that comes first. Kenzi also lost the source of her Fae abilities when Massimo was killed when he jumped into a furnace in an attempt to retrieve a lock of Tamsin's hair which Bo threw in to place it out of his reach. However, in the aftermath, Dyson promised to give Kenzi a means to be "equal" to the Fae when the time was right.


Powers and Abilities

Kenzi was human and had no Fae-like abilities at the beginning of the series. This statement however did not remain completely true through the end of the Third Season of the series. Her inherent human abilities included: She was a professional thief, having many abilities such as lock picking, hot-wiring cars, card-sharking and similar abilities. She was a very persuasive speaker, able to con others into believing her stories and claims when she was masquerading in other roles. Through her time with Bo and other Fae, Kenzi learned basic swordsmanship and other self-protection abilities. She gained a good deal of information about the Fae in general through her connection with Trick and what she gleaned through her contact with the Fae. Kenzi was highly intelligent, her personality hiding a very agile mind and personality.

There were several events through the series where Kenzi either gained Fae-like abilities or was effected by a Fae substance. Two of these were the most significant. The first of these occurred during the Second Season episode Into the Dark where she forced The Norn to give Dyson back his love for Bo. During this event, a liquid was splashed onto Kenzi which caused skin on her arm to be damaged over time. It was revealed that she had some into contact with the powers of a Kitsune in the episode The Kenzi Scale through this liquid spilling on her.

The other event was during the Third Season episode ConFaegion where Kenzi came into the possession of the Staff of Righteousness which was an unassuming piece of wood that appeared to be about five feet in length. When it was picked up by a suitable being in their bare hands, it transformed into a staff than the bearer could not let go of. Trick explained at the time that the lore stated that: "The one that touches the Staff of Righteousness shall take up the noble cause, accept the mantle of sacred ruler of Forest Nymphs and Sprites and fight for truth and justice throughout the land until the end of their natural days." While in possession of the Staff, Kenzi gained Fae-like speed and was able to hold off several attackers including Vex. She did not retain possession of the Staff however, refusing it and thus being released from its power.

At the end of the Third Season, Kenzi had come to the decision that she needed to become Fae somehow in order to help Bo and her other friends. What that decision meant to Kenzi in the future was unclear at that time.

In the Fourth Season it was revealed that Kenzi had made a deal with the Druid Massimo to obtain the powers of a Fae, assuming in doing so it would make her Fae. However she was tricked by Massimo who only used spark extract, taken from the genitals of a Sprite, to give Kenzi the ability to shoot sparks from her fingertips, but did not make her Fae. She did not appear to have any other powers nor did it seem that she retained the powers of a Kitsune which she had before in the Third Season. Massimo eventually killed himself in an attempt to retrieve a lock of Tamsin's hair which Bo threw into a furnace. At that point, Kenzi no longer had the ability to appear to be Fae.
