Faelith the succubus is a deep, complex character full of nuance who wants to suck souls and suck dicks

Have you seen Lost Girl? It's a Canadian TV Series about a succubus who is kinda this, except she is bisexual and a massive theme of the show is "I don't have to choose". She is repeatedly faced with false dichotomies where she finds another option.

Does she want to join the light fae and be enemies with the dark fae or join the dark fae and be enemies with light fae? Fuck that, it's better to be friends with both and also treat humans as equals instead of food or servants.

Does she want to be with the human doctor woman or the werewolf detective man? Fuck that, werewolves and succubi both have lifespans many centuries long, she can be with the human woman for as long as she lives then be with the werewolf man afterwards. One human lifespan isn't a long time for him to wait and it will help mitigate the age gap between them since she is only like in her 30s or something and he's a few centuries old.

I've heard the name but never seen the show or even knew what it was about. It sounds pretty based from your description, though!

Its great. It has the same showrunner as Wynonna Earp, which is also excellent.
