Paquin, a natural brunette with fair skin, had to dye her hair blonde for the role so that her hair looked like it would be naturally blonde. Paquin also has to use tanning lotion regularly on her skin so that she has Sookie's sunkissed skin tone.

Paquin still differs physically from the book Sookie as she has brown eyes instead of blue and is noticeably slimmer than her book counterpart. The actress has stated that she wears "a good bra" when portraying Sookie so that she can live up to the book counterpart's famously large bosom.

Anna is also required to speak in the Southern Louisiana dialect when portraying Sookie. As a telepath , Sookie must constantly cope with hearing people's thoughts due to her being half fairy.

She can hear their darkest secrets—without wanting to—and so is a little awkward around people. Her telepathy makes it very difficult for her to form relationships with people, who are uncomfortable with someone who can hear their thoughts.

For this reason, she had lost every single job she ever had before being hired at Merlotte's Bar and Grill.

Through constant concentration, however, she has trained herself to block out people's thoughts when she wants to and turn a blind eye, but her ability to concentrate is greatly diminished when she is emotional or drunk.

Sookie exhibits the down-home kindness known as Southern hospitality that is stereotypical of the South, and she is usually willing to help someone in need. Although Sookie is kind, she never hesitates to stand up for herself and her beliefs, even when face-to-face with an angry vampire or her best friend. Sookie is loyal to her friends, but when a friend does not return that loyalty she is deeply hurt.

Sookie has a fervent belief in God, but has not professed any particular faith or religion, although she is presumed to be some denomination of Christian. Because of her telepathic abilities, she has gained notoriety in her small town of Bon Temps , and is often looked upon as the local oddity. Because of this slight ostracism, Sookie displays a progressive attitude toward other social outcasts, like the LGBT community and vampires.

Many people in her life view Sookie as an innocent, immature, and vulnerable woman who needs to be protected like both Bill and Sam for example, but she believes herself to be perfectly capable of taking care of herself. Some negatives include her naivete and gullibility; this is partly due to her quiet, sheltered life in a small town and her trusting disposition. She can be quite blunt and sarcastic. Sookie has a natural and deadly appreciation and curiosity with vampires, primarily because she cannot hear their thoughts and does not have to make a constant effort to block them out.

However, her affinity for vampires often puts her and her loved ones into harm's way. Vampires are instantly attracted to her because she is Fae, and she emits a delicious aroma that only vampires can smell. However, since she is an extremely diluted Halfling, this scent is nowhere near as strong as with purer Halflings, like Adilyn. However, her Fae heritage is so extremely diluted that her Faerie powers are limited and finite.

Like all Faeries, she has the power of telepathy, which has made her a social pariah in her small town of Bon Temps. Sookie has a natural and deadly appreciation and curiosity of the supernatural world and all the creatures in it, primarily because she cannot hear their thoughts and feels at peace with them. Also, they value her telepathic abilities and respect her, whereas humans treat her like she is simple or insane. Sookie was born in Bon Temps, Louisiana July 1, She was born with telepathic powers and as a result of being an odd child because of them, she was put under many psychological tests.

Some time shortly after when Sookie was only seven years old her parents, Corbett and Michelle died in a flash flood, leaving her grandmother Adele to raise her, and her older brother Jason. While Sookie was still a child she was frequently molested by her great Uncle Bartlett. Her parents did not believe her when she told them, so the molestation went on until after they died. While under her Gran's care great Uncle Bartlett tried to rape little Sookie again this time, however, her Gran believed her and disowned Bartlett saying that he raped Sookie's Aunt Linda as well.

She never excelled in school because her telepathy made it difficult to concentrate, as a result she didn't attend college either. Sookie has worked at Merlotte's Bar and Grill for a little over five years. Sookie has been shown to have several powers in the series derived from two sources: her fairy heritage and a demon 's blessing on her family.

Since demons [1] and fairies are two subspecies of the fae basic supernatural creatures , all of her powers are fae in origin. Due to Desmond Cataliades blessing Sookie's grandmother Adele unbeknownst to her with his blood, any descendant of Adele with the 'essential spark' or strong affinity toward the supernatural will possess telepathy.

Telepathy is the ability to sense thoughts and read people's minds. She has had this power her entire life, and it often led her to become an outcast in her youth until she learned to gradually control it. Sookie learned how to pull a mental shield around her mind sort of like a wall which blocks all the thoughts coming into her head.

However this wall takes a lot of concentration so she can usually only focus on one other thing at a time e. However, in the second book, " Living Dead in Dallas " it is shown Sookie can use her telepathy to put people into a somewhat of a hypnotic trance which opens their minds to think and see in their heads exactly what she wants to know.

Sookie can easily hear the thoughts and emotions of humans. However with weres and shapeshifters she can only feel emotions and moods. With vampires and the fae, she cannot hear them, but vampire minds appear as 'black holes' of thoughts in the air and the fae still give off a mental 'hum' so she can tell if they're nearby.

With vampires, Sookie does occasionally have glimpses of thoughts. She has heard Eric's thoughts several times although when she was blood bound to Eric she could always sense his emotions and his thoughts more clearly , she never heard Bill's, and she heard Stan Davis , the King of Texas and a few others at the vampire summit.

One sub-power of telepathy is her mind is protected from glamours. Her telepathy allows her immunity to mind powers, e. This however does not protect her from the faes' seductive power as Preston was able to use his power to entice Sookie into sleeping with him. Whether or not this is due to her demonic telepathy, her fairy biology, or both is unknown. When Sookie sees a vampire she sees them with a light glow unlike other people.

This lets her tell if a person is a vampire straight away when she meets them. This power also lets Sookie see the true forms of Fae e. However, powerful fae such as Niall and Preston who are adept at illusion-casting or shape-shifting can fool even other fae. Since her powers have been growing throughout the series, the true extent of her power is unknown. Even though she is a human-fairy hybrid she rarely uses her magic. This gives her some physical attributes of the fae like beauty and blood attraction.

This blood attraction works for weres and other supernatural beings and not just vampires. Her fairy blood makes vampires around her feel vibrant and full of life. She is also generally healthier than humans and is rarely sick. As Sookie is a sky fairy, she has an affinity for sunlight and loves to sunbathe outside for hours to gain a tan. In the book Dead Reckoning , it is shown that when around other faes, or part-fae, fae essence is amplified.

Sookie's fairy qualities are amplified when she lives with her fairy relatives, full-fae Claude and half-fae Dermot , which makes her become even more fairy-like.

This extra fairy quality has given her extra vigor, beauty, magic, and strength, enough to hurt Alcide a werewolf when she playfully punches him for a comment he made. It is revealed that as Sookie is not a full fairy, she only has limited access to fae magic. Sookie was also shown to be able to reverse a magic spell on her Grand-Uncle Dermot by giving him a kiss on his cheek.

However this was in conjunction with her full-blooded fae cousin Claude so it is not known if she can do this by herself. She has also been shown to have a physical side, as she is seen fighting on multiple occasions. She is also a good marksman, seen when she shoots and kills Debbie. Adele Stackhouse was Sookie's grandmother and a parent figure. Sookie and her older brother Jason were raised by Adele from age seven through ten. Sookie and Adele were close and lived together in the Stackhouse farmhouse.

Sookie and her grandmother had many things in common, particularly open mindedness, curiosity, and hospitality. Adele also instilled Southern hospitality and manners in Sookie. Adele was killed by Rene in the first book, " Dead Until Dark ". Jason Stackhouse is Sookie's brother and the eldest Stackhouse.

He and Sookie have never been close due to Jason's selfishness and irresponsible behavior. However, after Sookie and Sam saved Jason from Felton the two grew closer.

Later, Jason became a " were-panther ". Sookie gave Jason away at his wedding to Crystal. This proved to be something she would regret when Jason set her up to finding Crystal cheating. In accordance with the oath Sookie took when she gave Jason to Crystal, Calvin Crystals' father, who gave Crystal away at the wedding had to be punished by Sookie.

Bill Compton was Sookie's first love. When he walked into Merlotte's Bar, Sookie was excited to learn that she could not "hear" his mind.
