Who doesn\u2019t love a good anti-hero? Spike is a charming bad boy who eventually falls in love (for real, not by dubious intervention) with Buffy\u2014a storyline I can get behind, mostly because it embodies what I like to see in my adult romances: a toxic relationship that includes a morally gray hero on the road to becoming something far healthier and more respectable. If only Buffy had loved him back. Good thing we have Jeaniene Frost\u2019s Night Huntress Series, which (bonus) doesn\u2019t include Joss Whedon at all.<\/p>\n
Nancy Downs from\u00a0The Craft<\/em><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/The-craft-300x180.png\")
<\/p>\n
The OG Goth Girl\u2014for me, at least. While her progression through the film sees her becoming the villain, there are so many facets of Nancy we can relate to\u2014from her dysfunctional family to seeking solace in something that gave her power. Nancy is the ultimate badass, comfortable with her own sexuality, confident in her appearance, and willing to confront a would-be rapist. Though, ultimately, her wish for power overtakes her, she has moments of pure, unabashed badassery that has nothing to do with magic and everything to do with how much the patriarchy can really suck.<\/p>\n
Luke Evans as Vlad from\u00a0Dracula Untold<\/em><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Luke-Evans-03-300x180.png\")
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve watched a lot of Dracula retellings but my favorite Vlad to look at is Luke Evans. He is a hot warrior who sets out to avenge the death of his wife by embodying what it means to be the Dracula we know today. Now that\u2019s true love.<\/p>\n

There is no denying the power of Yennefer. This sorceress decides she wants it all, no matter the cost of acquiring that power. It isn\u2019t always easy, and it is evident she is a woman fighting in a world ruled by men\u2014the sacrifices she makes are a harsh reminder\u2014but Yennefer works hard to prove herself and forges her own path, not unlike Isolde from\u00a0King of Battle and Blood<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\nBo Dennis from\u00a0Lost Girl<\/em><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/13_20_LostGirl_S05-300x180.png\")

Bo has had a chaotic beginning. I mean, she kills her high school boyfriend during their first sexual encounter and, not understanding what happened, runs away believing that her \u201clove carries a death sentence.\u201d Later she learns she is a succubus and for the first time, she\u2019s hopeful she can learn to use her powers. Bo is loyal, independent, and she makes her own way, often disregarding rules that dictate \u2018how it\u2019s always done.\u2019 Bo is a sex-positive bisexual badass who refuses to let anyone tell her how to live her life. Bonus: The sex scenes between Bo and Lauren\/Bo and Dyson makes this love triangle one worth getting behind.<\/p>\n
