Summer’s a great time, isn’t it? Gone are the long overcoats, the big fuzzy sweaters, and the scarves.
That’s right, people. It’s sexy time again.
Last year, we began what is now officially our annual tradition of the sexiest characters of fantasy. This year, we’re doin’ ya one better — we’re going to let YOU, our readers, decide for yourselves.
The guidelines are simple. One, we are judging characters for their sex appeal, not actors, so even if you happen to find Cate Blanchett the sexiest lady around, I think we can all agree that her turn as Galadriel didn’t exactly turn up the heat.
Two, we are specifically dealing with fantasy characters and not sci-fi, which means that Trinity, Aeon Flux, etc. are out of the running. Superheroes are okay, but we’re mostly going for high fantasy or urban fantasy, a la Legend of the Seeker, True Blood, and the like.
Three, we’re looking for recent entries into the world of fantasy. Basically, the character has to have appeared in an entertainment project released from 2009 to 2010.
And now that the rules are out of the way, here are our nominees. You can vote below!
Lucretia
Though Lucy Lawless will always be remembered for playing Xena, she still brings the sexy (and then some!) almost ten years later as the wickedly seductive Lucretia on Spartacus: Blood and Sand.
Naevia
Speaking of Lucretia, most Spartacus fans first got a glimpse of the surprisingly plucky slave girl, Naevia, when she was essentially being used as a human sex toy to get her domina, Lucretia, going so she could have sex with her husband and not have to bother with all that pesky foreplay stuff. But who would have thought that she would blossom into a strong-willed character of her own who catches not only the eye but the heart and soul of the toughest gladiator in the ludus, Crixus?
Mira
The last Spartacus entry on the list is another humble-at-first-then-proves-to-be-resourceful slave girl. Mira, who only appeared in about the last third of the season, managed to arouse the man himself, Spartacus, and almost make him forget his late wife. Now that’s a woman.
Kate Austin
Over the past few years, Lost became such a ridiculously complex torrent of red herrings (by which I mean, of course, that the writers had absolutely no idea what they were doing) that it almost made one forget how, in 2004, an unknown actress named Evangeline Lilly created the character of Kate who was tough, capable, and looked damn good in a tank top and baggy jeans. Though the show may have ended on a whimper, no one can deny that for six years, Kate looked damn sexy running around that island.
Jennifer
There’s classy sexy, and then there’s slutty sexy. Hey, I’m not judging. To each his own. Though she was more Mortal Kombat’s Baraka than prom queen, the titular heroine/villainess of Jennifer’s Body was certainly not lacking in the sexuality department … even if she was eating boys (literally).
Persephone
A few months back, I reviewed Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and I won’t split hairs — I did not like it. But near the end, just as I was about to nod off, was woken up a big jolt of sexy in the form of Rosario Dawson’s luscious death goddess, Persephone. If that’s what awaits us in the Underworld, kill me now.
Io
Clash of the Titans may have been a gods-awful flick, but at least it did take a few seconds away from the constant boss-fight-after-boss-fight to allow us to soak in the sexiness that was Gemma Arterton’s enigmatic Io. (Gemma Arterton fans? Careful you don’t split your votes by voting for Arterton’s Princess Tamina in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time!)
Neytiri
Go ahead. I dare you to tell me you didn’t feel a little stirring of something for some of the Na’vi when watching Avatar. No need to feel pervy for wanting to mack on blue monkey-cat people: their bodies were clearly designed to be lithe, sexy, and pleasurable to behold. And few were more behold-able than Neytiri, as performed by the delicious Zoe Saldana. (And lest you protest that Avatar was sci-fi, Pandora itself was clearly a fantasy setting, with its blue inhabitants, floating mountains, and soul transferring.)
Morrigan
What’s that, you say? Morrigan isn’t “real,” but is, instead, a character in the video game Dragon Age: Origin? Clearly, you have yet to play Dragon Age: Origin! When it comes to sexy sorceresses, we prefer ours with a “bad girl” vibe and more than a touch of ‘tude — which is Morrigan all the way. Plus, we have it on good authority that things get, uh, interesting if you “gift” her enough necklaces, amulets, and broaches!
Kahlan
Cara
Legend of the Seeker may have been unjustly canceled, but its characters will live on in our memories and imaginations forever. And while the plots and dialogue were fantastic, it certainly didn’t hurt that its two main female leads were so breathtaking to gaze upon. And so we give you the gorgeous Kahlan and Cara.
So there are our nominees. We also have a “none of the above” option for any glaring omissions, but be sure to add the name in our “comments,” below!

Lucy Lawless hands down :)
For God’s shake !!!!! how long it will take to publish the results? is it so hard? do you need a little help there?
This is so exciting! I can\’t wait for results.
Isn\’t it funny how Cara and Kahlan were the obvious favorites and this is the show they canceled? I mean I know that the sexiness of the women don\’t make a good show, but come on, ppl that voted for C/K have seen the show and obviously like it. They, by far, got the most votes.
When will you have the results? Who won, Cara or Kahlan? I hope it will be Cara, she is the best! :D
I have voted for Cara. She is my favorite mord’sith and I must say, I enjoy her much more than I do my confessor.:)
Go CARA!!!! NALU :)
Lucy Lawless spartacus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why on middle earth do you have characters from Spartacus on here?
I’m asking this because Spartacus in not fantasy it is actually Historical Drama.
I am geussing that its inclusion on this website is based on its swords and sandals visual appeal and your broad interpretation as what qualifies as fantasy
Despite this greaco-romano mythology look it is based on actual events and while fictional characters/ events may be added it there is does not qualify as fantasy
If anyone agrees disagrees comment
Uh, I disagree. Sometimes you have to look beyond the obvious. In the very first episode, Sura has a dream about a red serpent that comes true. Someone else pointed out that by slaying Theocles (who was a mutant, by the way, who could be gutted with a sword multiple times and live) Spartacus ended the drought and brought rain. Not to mention all the superhuman abilities that the gladiators possess. Just because there aren’t any hobbits doesn’t mean there’s no fantasy.
GO CARA!!! we love you!!!
Lucy Lawless - 100%! :)
Yum.
It was a VERY hard decision to make, and for me it was mostly between Neytiri, Kahlan, and Cara, but in terms of sheer sexiness, I had to go for Cara, hands down.
OMG, Tab and Brid are in a tie! I so want Cara to win, but if she doesn’t, I’d give the title to Kahlan. I do think that Bridget is very pretty, but when it comes to sexiness, it’s Cara all the way!
Voted of course on Cara! (and second choice would be Kahlan)
But I really hope Cara wins! Vote Cara ppl!!!
JENNIFER GARNER IN ALIAS AS CIA AGENT MUCH SEXIER ……….
