List of True Blood characters
List of characters, with biographical details, from the HBO series True Blood and the Charlaine Harris novel series it was based on.
Sookie Stackhouse
Sookie's telepathic powers manifest as a child, and her parents initially consider her to be mentally ill, going so far as taking her to a psychologist and "having her brain scanned every other month". However, Sookie mentions one incident when her father asked her to "listen" in on a business meeting to discern the true intentions of a potential client. She told her father the man intended to take his money and her father took her advice, indicating his unspoken belief in her telepathic ability. Her parents die in a flood when she was seven years old, leaving her and her older brother Jason Stackhouse to be raised by their grandmother.
Sam Merlotte
Sam Merlotte is a character from the The Southern Vampire Mysteries book series by author Charlaine Harris. Sam is the owner and operator of Merlotte's, the bar where telepath Sookie Stackhouse works as a barmaid. He is described as being a small, blond man and a fair boss.
Sam is also a shapeshifter. His preferred shape is that of a collie, although he can essentially change into any animal he sees. On nights when the moon is full, Sam -like all shapeshifters- feels a strong urge to change, the rest of the time he can do it at will.
