I love this more serious depiction of Ahri, it's a good change from the usual sex appeal/cute/feminine aura she gives off. This image gives off a sort of Kingdom Hearts official art feel.

To be fair, she's a Fox version of a Succubus. So it's almost like giving a Succubus fault for being nothing but sex appeal, since ya'know, thats their entire being.

My point was that Ahri is commonly depicted in the ways mentioned in my first comment by artists of all mediums, but the truth is that she feels remorse and sorrow for doing succubus-like things, and wants to attain humanship. This is stated in her lore, and it gives her so much more depth instead of just being a whore who eats essence day and night.
There's the strong possibility that Ahri is completely ignorant of the carnal arts. She used magic to charm her victims and probably did so the moment they were vunerable. All she wanted was to drain them of their life, not derive any kind of pleasure out of the act. No keen intelluct getting satisfaction out of a job well done.

Snippets from Ahri's lore somewhat disagree. Regardless of whether she wanted to get pleasure from it or not, she caught on to it after trying it once and it unleashed a desire inside her to do so. Following gumiho lore, she definitely wanted the satisfaction of it.
... She felt drawn to one: a robed man encircled by a waning field of magic whose life was quickly slipping away. She approached him and something deep inside of her triggered, reaching out to the man in a way she couldn't understand. His life essence poured into her, carried on invisible strands of magic. The sensation was intoxicating and overwhelming.
