 Houri
According to the Qur'an (55.56), the houri are pure, having never been touched by man or jinn and so they are virgins who marry the devout in the Jannah, the paradise, of the afterlife.
For an example, see the translation by Juan Cole of the "Tablet of the Houri" by Bahž°'u'llž°h [7] While other houris appear in Bahž°'u'llž°h's works, they are generally depicted as handmaidens of the Houri, or occasionally the personification of a divine virtue, such as trustworthiness.
Houri is also the word used to describe the engravings of women in ancient stonework such as the temples at Angkor Wat.

 The Maid of Heaven: The Divine Feminine in the Writings of Baha'u'llah
In the "houri tablets", as these works are generally called, Baha'u'llah uses sexual desire as a symbol for the soul's desire for God.
It is as though the motion of Her tresses caused the spirit of life to quake in the inner essence of creation, and caused the kingdom of mystical insight to tremble in the reality of being.
Another aspect to the houri is that sometimes she plays the coquette, alternately encouraging then spurning her lover.

However, it’s something of a disappointment that the houri appears not to be a metaphor for the Absolute Divinity, as in certain places She is defined as a creature - albeit pre-existent.
In the Wisdom literature of the Bible Sophia plays a similar role to the houri in relationship to Yahweh, born before the creation of the world She is the Beloved of God and the Guide of all His works.
Well, what's also interesting is that the houri sometimes appears as "higher" and the object of Baha'u'llah's worship, then sometimes it is she who worships and adores Him.

The houri are mentioned in the Qur'an: [44.51] Surely those who guard (against evil) are in a secure place, [44.52] In gardens and springs; [44.53] They shall wear of fine and thick silk, (sitting) face to face; [44.54] Thus (shall it be), and We will wed them with Houris pure, beautiful ones.

 Bahai Houri
God hath purified the hem of Her purity from the knowledge of the concourse of names in the realm of eternity, and Her face from the view of all who are in the kingdom of creation.
It was as though She had appeared with a body of light in the forms of the spirit, as though She moved upon the earth of essence in the substance of manifestation.
Then the houris suspended in the air howled, and the purified houris in the cloud of unknowing lamented, and all of them returned to their palaces and their pavilions, forsaking all that had been ordained for them and created for their essences.

Original Houri refers to the women that serve in paradise in which the faithful will come after death, but these are much worldlier.
Any creatures failing a saving throw believe that the Houri is of their own species and of the form desirable to them, thus enabling the Houri to seduce any susceptible creature believing the disguise.
The Houri can choose whether this person is the next appropriate person the victim sees, or a compatible but specific person of the Houri's choice, or even the Houri herself.

 Bahá-u-lláh | The Tablet of the Houri
This provisional translation of the Tablet of the Houri addresses the relationship between the Divine Youth and the Maiden (Houri).
In this form, the Tablet is part of a long tradition of religious scripture, including the Song of Songs, the writings of some Christian saints, and much of Islamic, and particularly Sufi, mysticism.
The administrative order of the Baha’i faith, while not forbidding believers to read this translation, nevertheless cautions that the Tablet of the Houri may leave readers with an erroneous impression of what the Author is attempting to convey.
