The Book Characters
THE SUPES
Bill Compton
Sookie didn't have too many suitors until she met the vampire Bill Compton. Being able to read her date's minds was usually a big turn-off for Sookie. And her reputation as a weirdo didn't make her very attractive either.
Vampires and other "supes" are harder to read than humans, muffling the effects of her telepathy and giving Sookie a refreshing break from the constant noise of other people's thoughts.Vampires seem specially immune to her ability. Their brains appear to be blank spaces when compared to the busy tangle of ideas that come from a human's mind.
Because of this relaxing blankness, Sookie was able to experience her first physical and emotional romantic relationship with Bill, who was turned into a vampire following the Civil War. He introduced her to the complexities of vampire society in the United States. This led to many difficulties for Sookie but their relationship lasted several months before his infidelity with a former lover, the vampire Lorena, led Sookie to break things off.
Upon finding out that Bill solely pursued Sookie as an assignment for the Queen of Louisiana, she cut him out of her life completely.
Sam Merlotte
Sam Merlotte is a true shifter who can turn into any animal he wishes. Sookie and Sam kiss several times and they've discussed the possibility of a romantic relationship, but Sookie is worried about the effect it would have on their business relationship (he is her boss).
Eric Northman
Sookie was forced to care for the vampire sheriff of Area 5, Eric Northman, who had always been attracted to her. At the time, Eric was under a witch's curse that altered his memory and left him vulnerable and more attractive to Sookie than his ordinarily manipulative self. When he regained his memory, he also regained his deep entanglement with vampire politics. Since the memory issue, Eric and Sookie were forced to undergo a blood bond. At times, Sookie wonders if the blood bond is what actually keeps her close to Eric. Eric recently revealed that he recalls all of the events that occurred while he was under the curse.
Alcide Herveaux
She dated the werewolf Alcide Herveaux. In that case, his violent ex-girlfriend Debbie proved to be an obstacle to a relationship.
Quinn
Sookie also dated the famous weretiger Quinn. However, that relationship became strained after Quinn and his sister disappeared at the end of All Together Dead. Sookie ended the relationship when she realized Quinn would always put his family (his half-sister Frannie and his deranged mother) ahead of her.
Niall
Her fairy great grandfather. Niall is a fairy prince who has many enemies and wants to keep his new relationship with his great granddaughter under wraps.
Claude and Claudine
Twin Fairy cousins of Sookie's. The stunning Claudine acts like her fairy godmother and keeps an eye on her in times of danger. Claude is self-absorbed and wants to be a model.
THE HUMANS
Sookie Stackhouse
Sookie lost her parents as a child, not long after realizing she had the ability to hear others' thoughts.
Though Sookie's grandmother took her in, the young woman's telepathy has been an ongoing curse. Hearing the intimate feelings of everyone around her left her feeling alone. And those who have't been scared off by her "curse" have disgusted her with shady musings.
After decades spent as the local odd ball, Sookie has learned to serve up a combination of sexiness and sass that help her deal with most situations, but she has yet to find out whether her bite can match her bark.

Jason is Sookie's brother. A ladies man that works in construction for the local parish and has a very pecular hobby.
Mrs. Stackhouse
