This page originates from Fury page on Lost Girl

Furies are a Light Fae species that have the ability to create insanity in others by staring into their eyes.

Description
Furies require eye contact in order to use her power, but once a Fury has "inflicted" her victim with insanity, there is no known way of stopping it. This also applies to themselves, as even the reflection of their own gaze can drive them insane. When a Fury activates her power, her eyes glow red. The Ash once commented that Furies are supposed to punish Fae who disobey the rules of the Fae World. According to Dyson, Furies always have sisters.

History
Olivia and her two sisters, Giselle and Ada, were Furies. Olivia and her husband Samir had a threesome with Bo. Olivia chose Bo because she wanted a human girl Jenny dead.

They are called by their name in Greek mythology, Erinys, in the Game.

Powers

 * Insanity Infliction: Furies have the ability to inflict insanity to other people by staring into their eyes. Once a Fury has "inflicted" her victim with insanity there is no known way of stopping it. The insanity caused by a Fury intensifies until the victim dies. Furies are not immune to their own power. A Fury's power can be used against them if they use their powers in front of a reflective surface, such as a mirror. They would then be affected by their own power and go insane too.  When they use this power, their eyes glow red.

Trivia

 * In Greek mythology the Erinyes also known as Furies, were female chthonic deities of vengeance; they were sometimes referred to as "infernal goddesses". They correspond to the Dirae in Roman mythology, and some suppose that they are called Furies in hell, Harpies on earth, and Dirae in heaven. According to variant accounts, they emerged from an even more primordial level — from Nyx, "Night", or from a union between air and mother earth. Their number is usually left indeterminate. The Erinyes live in Erebus and are more ancient deities than any of the Olympians. Their task is to hear complaints brought by mortals against the insolence of the young to the aged, of children to parents, of hosts to guests, and of householders or city councils to suppliants - and to punish such crimes by hounding culprits relentlessly. The Erinyes are crones and, depending upon authors, described as having snakes for hair, dog's heads, coal black bodies, bat's wings, and blood-shot eyes. In their hands they carry brass-studded scourges, and their victims die in torment.
