However, since she is an extremely diluted Halfling, this scent is nowhere near as strong as with purer Halflings, like Adilyn. Vampires are instantly attracted to her because she is Fae, and she emits a delicious aroma that only vampires can smell. However, her affinity for vampires often puts her and her loved ones into harm's way. 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. Some negatives include her naivete and gullibility this is partly due to her quiet, sheltered life in a small town and her trusting disposition. 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. Because of this slight ostracism, Sookie displays a progressive attitude toward other social outcasts, like the LGBT community and vampires. 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. 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. Sookie is loyal to her friends, but when a friend does not return that loyalty she is deeply hurt. 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 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. 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. For this reason, she had lost every single job she ever had before being hired at Merlotte's Bar and Grill. Her telepathy makes it very difficult for her to form relationships with people, who are uncomfortable with someone who can hear their thoughts. She can hear their darkest secrets-without wanting to-and so is a little awkward around people. Anna is also required to speak in the Southern Louisiana dialect when portraying Sookie.Īs a telepath, Sookie must constantly cope with hearing people's thoughts due to her being half fairy. 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. Paquin still differs physically from the book Sookie as she has brown eyes instead of blue and is noticeably slimmer than her book counterpart.

Paquin also has to use tanning lotion regularly on her skin so that she has Sookie's sunkissed skin tone. 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. In order to portray a Sookie closer to the books, Paquin had to undergo a number of cosmetic changes. In the television series, Canadian-born New Zealand actress Anna Paquin portrays Sookie.
TRUE BLOOD SEASON 3 COVER SERIES
The titular character and narrator of The Sookie Stackhouse Novels, the series of books in which True Blood is based, Sookie is descended from Niall Brigant, the King of the original tribe of Fae, and was last seen in the series' finale episode, " Thank You", in the series' seventh, and final season. Her Fae heritage is so extremely diluted, however, that her Faerie powers are limited and finite.

Played by Academy Award-winning Canadian Kiwi starring actress, Anna Paquin, and winning a Golden Globe for the role, Sookie makes her debut in the series' premiere episode, " Strange Love", in the series' first season.
