THE
HUMAN FOLKS
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 in her small town has left
her feeling impossibly alone. And those who haven't been scared off
by her "talent" have disgusted her with their shady musings.
After decades spent as the local oddball, Sookie has learned to serve
up a combination of sexiness and sass that helps her deal with most
situations, bust she has yet to find out whether her bite can back
up the bark.

Jason Stackhouse
Jason works construction by day, but pursues his true calling
at night, methodically working his way through every attractive woman
in Bon Temps. Gossip travels fast in a small town - and his sister
Sookie hears plenty of it at Merlotte's - but when it comes to Jason
Stackhouse, not many ladies are willing to hold anything against him
for long.

Lafayette Reynolds
Not your typical short-order cook, Lafayette flips his burgers in
club clothes and eye makeup. But any good ol' boy customers at Merlotte's
who mistakes his fashion sense as an invitation for harassment have
got another thing coming - Lafayette isn't afraid to throw down. With
his many shady sideline business and personal connections, Lafayette
has plenty to fall back on.
top
Tara Thornton
Though she won't win any congeniality awards, Tara has been Sookie's
loyal best friend since childhood. She's built up a tough exterior,
taking care of her alcoholic mother at home, but the stress can make
her quick to anger and hard to employ. She may have found her perfect
job, after talking her way into a cartending job at Merlotte's where
she can turn her temper to keep unruly customer's in line. Still,
she has a soft spot in her heart for Sookie.. and her brother Jason.
top
Arlene Fowler
Divorced with kids at home, Arlene is pushing into her forties and
in complete denial about it. Her boyfriend, ene Lenier, helps keep
her slightly grounded, but the stress of hustling between customers
at Merlotte's while answering her children's constant phone calls
has left her permanently frazzled.
top
Andy Bellefleur
Born into the faded lineage of Bon Temps gentry, Andy is aware that
working as a police officer doesn't help his standing in a town that
already distrusts him. Then again, his personality doesn't do him
any favors either; he makes a habit of pushing people farther than
he needs to and doesn't mind using his authority to settle scores
with the locals.
top
Bud
Dearborn
Widely respected
in a town where many residents rember him as a childhood authority
figure, Bud tries to do right by everyone as much as possible. He
doesn't understand people's sudden fascination with vampires, however,
and his job was a lot easier before the creatures of the night started
to show up.
top
Hoyt
Fortenberry
One of Jason's buddies, Hoyt may be the most unremarkable guy in Bon
Temps, though his general oafishness can be pretty endearing. He's
every bit as enamored with drinking beer and chasing women as Jason
- but he's not nearly as good at it.
top
Rene
Lenier
One of Jason's friend's from the road crew, Rene has been shacked
up with Arlene long enough that he's basically a member of the family.
As a stand-up guy in love, he'd like to settle down and have some
kids of his own, though Arlene feels taxed enough with the children
from her previous relationship.
top
Amy
Burley
A privileged upbringing, a Wellesley education - Amy has left it all
behind to find a more "authentic" existence on the road.
She's a firm believer in the philosophy of Gaia and has found the
ultimate tool to commune with the earth: Vampire blood.
top
Lettie
Mae Thornton
Tara's mother has become a mean drunk - through years of practice.
Nowadays, she mostly just boozes herself into quiet oblivion on the
couch , though the decrease in drama has done little to ease her daughter's
burden.
top
Adele
Hale Stackhouse
After Sookie's parent's died, Adele took the young girl in, raising
her through some tough teenage years. Though Gran always knew about
Sookie's "talent" and encouraged the girl to use it when
appropriate, she often found herself comforting her granddaughter
when other women weren't as understanding.
top
THE
SUPERNATURAL CROWD
Bill Compton
In his 173 years on earth, this vampire has seen more than his share
of cruelty and violence - from humans and vampires alike. While he
holds no illusions about his own existence, Bill has returned to his
family home of Bon Temps hoping to reconnect with whatever humanity
he's managed to retain. He never expected this attempt at mainstreaming
to include romance, however; especially with a human girl just strange
enough to accept him for what he is.
top
Sam Merlotte
As owner and operator of the local watering hole that bears his name,
Sam holds a front-row seat to all the small-town drama of Bon Temps,
whether he wants it or not. As a private guy himself, he tends to
stay out of patrons' and staff's personal lives, but a protective
streak particularly when it comes to Sookie Stackhouse, occasionally
places him in the midst of the strange events that are starting to
unfold at his bar.
top
Eric Northman
An old and pwerful vampire, Eric commands a strong physical presence
as well as a well-connected position and cunning personality. The
same self-assurance that served him as a Viking now allows him to
manipulate or just dominate humans and vampires alike. Owning and
operaing the vampire bar Fangtasia provides ample opportunity to do
both.
