Season 2

[edit] Season 2


Season two is centered around the mayhem caused in Bon Temps by the mysterious Maenad who poses as a human woman named Mary Ann. Mary Anne develops a bond with Sookie's friend Tara and eventually develops complete control over the Bon Temps residents. The Maenad believes that Sam Merlotte is the vessel who will allow her to connect to her God and so she seeks to sacrifice him. While all this chaos is going on in Bon Temps, Sookie is called to Dallas, TX by Eric Northman to assist him in finding his missing maker named Godric. Her telepathic ability makes her very valuable to the vampires and she goes undercover into a church called Fellowship of the Sun. The Fellowship of the Sun is an anti-vampire church that seeks to destroy vampires and vampire sympathizers. Sookie finds Godric in the basement of the church and calls in help from Eric, Bill and other local vampires. After some negotiating the church people allow the vampires and Sookie to leave. Godric, who is over 2,000 years old, has lost any desire to continue living and even though he is freed he "meets the sun" or commits suicide as Sookie watches. During her time in Dallas, Sookie accidentally made a blood bond with Eric when he tricked her into drinking his blood. This infuriates both Bill and Sookie because now Eric can sense Sookie's emotions. Another side effect of the blood bond is that Sookie has frequent fantasies about Eric while she sleeps and this confuses her very much. Once Sookie returns to Bon Temps she sees the effect the Maenad has made on her small town. People are not themselves and her own house had been made into a ritual site for the sacrificing of Sam Merlotte. Though Sam has originally planned to flee Bom Temps in order to avoid the Maenad, he realizes it is too late and the only way to save his beloved town is to turn himself in. The Maenad is overjoyed when Sam finally comes to her for she thinks she will finally meet the God she has sought after her entire ancient life. What she doesn't know is that Sam has teamed up with Bill and they have a plan to destroy her.

[edit] Family life


According to the novels, Sookie's telepathic powers manifested as a child and her parents initially considered her to be mentally ill, going so far as taking her to a psychologist and "having her brain scanned every other month". However, Sookie (who is the narrator of the books and stories) 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 died in a flood when she was seven, leaving Sookie and her older brother, Jason, to be raised by their grandmother. As the series begins, Sookie describes herself as someone with very little living family. One of her few relatives is a great-uncle, but she hasn't seen him since she was a child. The reason for this was that Sookie's great-uncle had molested both Sookie and her aunt, Linda, when the girls were very young. Not long after her parents' deaths, Sookie's grandmother bans him from contacting Sookie, thus saving her from further molestation. It is later revealed that he has also molested Sookie's female cousin Hadley.



Sookie lives with her grandmother well into her twenties and they maintain a close relationship until the grandmother is murdered by a serial killer, sinking Sookie into a deep depression. Sookie's great-uncle, Bartlett Hale, is killed soon after. Sookie later learns that her cousin Hadley has been murdered. With the death of Sookie's cousin Hadley, Sookie and Jason are the only remaining Stackhouses.



Eventually, it is revealed that fairy blood runs in her family through her father's lineage. This might be part of what makes her attractive to supernatural creatures ("supes") and vampires in particular.



In the eighth novel, From Dead to Worse, Sookie meets her great-grandfather, Niall Brigant, who is a powerful fairy prince, and the grandfather of her friends, the fairy twins Claudine and Claude. It is also revealed that Hadley left a young son, Hunter, who is now four. He also possesses telepathic abilities. The origins of the telepathic ability are not clear, although an unrelated character states that it is not a fairy trait.

Telepathy


Sookie's telepathic abilities manifested when she was quite young. In her hometown of Bon Temps, many people believe Sookie to be mentally unstable, while others deny the fact that she is able to read people's minds. Sookie says that people's thoughts are not formed in complete sentences, but rather in minimal words and images. She describes some people as "broadcasters", meaning that their minds are fairly easy to read.



Besides using telepathy to read minds, she can also communicate with other telepaths, and use her power to perplex other people. She used her power to confuse a killer (Drew Marshall/Rene Lenier) when he was chasing her, creating a vibrant noise that gave him disorientation and pain. Sookie also used her ability to communicate with a telepath (Barry), asking him to save her from the Fellowship of the Sun.



According to Sookie, both physical and eye contact make an individual's mind easier to read. The minds of humans are also easier to read, though this also varies depending on the individual. Supernatural beings are much more difficult, as Sookie usually only gets impressions and emotions unless the individual is intentionally broadcasting. Vampires are believed to be impossible for Sookie to read—which is partially why she begins dating vampire Bill Compton--though she eventually does have occasional glimpses. She keeps these glimpses a secret from everyone, however, as she is convinced the vampires would kill her if they knew.



The TV adaptation of the novels suggests telepaths to be of such extreme rarity, that more than one immortal being has reacted with surprise and bewilderment upon encountering either Sookie or Barry, and discovering them to be "different" from other humans.



Living situation


Sookie lives in the house left to her by her grandmother. While accidents and a fire leave the house in frequent need of repair, Sookie takes great pride in her home. Not long before Hurricane Katrina Sookie takes in a boarder, a witch named Amelia Broadway, who used to be her cousin Hadley's landlady. Amelia's witch mentor, Octavia Fant, later joins the household as well.



She supports herself by working as a barmaid at a local bar, Merlotte's, which is owned by local shape-shifter Sam Merlotte, as well as occasionally utilizing her telepathic talents for the local group of vampires headed by Eric Northman. Recently, she's worked with vampires even higher up in the hierarchy, including the kings and queens of several states. Despite her hard work, she's not particularly wealthy and often feels strained by the need to support herself, even while her pride leaves her incapable of accepting gifts from her wealthier friends.



In her free time, Sookie reads, suntans, watches television, and occasionally attends local football games. While Sookie's telepathy leaves her feeling incapable of getting a post-secondary education, she is shown to be a bright and resourceful young woman. She also considers herself to be a great dancer and loves to expand her vocabulary with her word-of-the-day-calendar.



Romantic relationships


Harris describes Sookie as a tanned, blue-eyed, and (formerly a size 8, now a size 10) buxom blonde. But although she is young, fit, and good-looking, Sookie did not have many suitors until she met 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 to ordinary men either, even though she has often been the subject of bar patrons' lewd thoughts.



Sookie finds herself attracted to dominant men with supernatural abilities. 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 especially 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 is able to experience her first physical and emotional romantic relationship with Bill, who was turned into a vampire following the American Civil War. He introduces her to the complexities of vampire society in the United States. This leads to many difficulties for Sookie, but their relationship lasts several months before his infidelity with a former lover (and his maker), vampire Lorena, leads Sookie to break things off. Eric Northman, his boss, later forces Bill to reveal to a shocked Sookie that he was ordered by the Queen of Louisiana to court her in order for the Queen to gain her loyalty. Though Bill swears that he really did fall in love with her over time and still does feel for her, a devastated and depressed Sookie tells Bill he is banished from her life.



As the series progresses, Sookie finds herself attracted to other "supes", such as her boss and long-time friend Sam Merlotte, a true shape-shifter who can turn into almost any animal he wishes. Sookie and Sam kiss more than once, but Sookie is worried about the effect it would have on their business relationship — which is important to her because he's the only boss she hasn't had to quit on after reading his mind — so she hasn't pursued him further. She also goes out on Eric assigned business outings with the werewolf Alcide Herveaux and has some interest but doesn't act on it. In that case, his violent ex-girlfriend Debbie Pelt proves to be an obstacle to a relationship, and their friendship has since deteriorated.



Some time after her break-up with Bill, Sookie comes to care for his boss, the vampire sheriff of Area 5, Eric Northman. Under a witch's curse, Eric's memory is altered and leaves him vulnerable and more attractive to Sookie than his ordinarily cunning self. At one point the amnesiac Eric offers to leave his position of power to be with her. When he regains his memory, however, he also regains his deep entanglement with vampire politics, and their relationship appears to end. Eric has only recently recalled all of the events that occurred while he was under the curse, and both he and Sookie are uneasy about what his restored memory might mean to how they relate to each other. Due to multiple blood exchanges, Sookie discovers that she and Eric have a blood bond that allows them to feel each other's emotions. This bond makes Sookie uncomfortable with the access that Eric has to her mind, and seeks to find a way to weaken the bond. She has strong feelings for Eric, but seems to believe that he would be incapable of a serious and committed relationship with her.



Sookie also briefly dates the famous weretiger Quinn. However, that relationship becomes strained after Quinn and his sister disappear at the beginning of From Dead to Worse. Sookie ends the relationship when she realizes Quinn will always put his half-sister Frannie, and his traumatized and deranged mother ahead of her. She realizes this after his involvement in a takeover of the Louisiana and Arkansas vampire territories results in the deaths of a number of Louisiana vampires she knows, including the Queen of Louisiana, Sophie-Anne LeClerq.



In the last published novel, Dead and Gone, Sookie's great-grandfather, Niall, tells her that “The vampire is not a bad man, and he loves you”, but leaves before specifying which vampire he meant, leaving Sookie filled with doubt. She married Eric under vampire law for her own protection.



Sookie's mind-reading ability seemed more like a curse to her when she was growing up, and made it difficult to make and retain friends. Despite this, she has been friends with the elegant and daring Tara Thornton and the handsome but dim JB du Rone since high school.




As an adult Sookie makes other friendships once she is better able to shield herself from the thoughts of others. She considers Sam Merlotte a friend and has maintained her friendship with Tara Thornton. She also strikes up an unlikely friendship of sorts with Eric's second-in-command, Pam. She also is pretty close to Amelia Broadway, a witch, who becomes her lodger and housemate in the later novels. And though she has never called them friends, she worries about Bubba the vampire and fellow mind-reader Barry the bellboy as well.



Sookie considers fellow barmaid Arlene Fowler to be a friend for their first few years working together. However, Arlene joins an anti-vampire organization and their relationship becomes tense. Arlene eventually betrays Sookie to this organization.

Human Life
In the book series, Bill was born on April 9, 1840. He lived in Bon Temps, Louisiana, and fought for the South during the Civil War. He was a married farmer with three children (there is inconsistency in the storyline, with Bill telling Sookie that he had five living children with his wife in Dead Until Dark). On November 20, 1868, some years after the war, he was made a vampire by Lorena, with whom he had a long and stormy relationship. Later in the book series, Bill discovers that he is related to the Bellefleur family in Bon Temps and secretly provides them with funds to aid in the repair of their ancestral home. The Bellefleurs, who do not know he is the source of the income, dislike him, though he briefly assisted Portia Bellefleur during her murder investigation in Living Dead in Dallas.
In the television series, Bill was born in 1835 and his children were born before the Civil War. He was turned by Lorena as he returned from the War, fighting under Colonel Henry Gray. He only briefly sees his human wife and old home from a distance before Lorena leads him away permanently.

Work and position within vampire hierarchy
At the end of the first novel, Dead Until Dark, Bill is concerned about the power of Area Five sheriff Eric over Bill and Sookie. He decides to apply for that area's investigator position and he gets it. Bill works for queen Sophie-Anne Leclerq and she has sent him to Bon Temps to investigate Sookie Stackhouse's telepathic abilities.
Bill is also the creator of a valuable database in which all the vampires in North America are listed along with their significant information. Vampires from other areas of the world, such as Peru, have also provided information for this database. The database itself has been controversial because of potential security issues and is only available for purchase to other vampires.
[edit] Romantic relationships
Sookie Stackhouse
In the first book, Dead Until Dark, Bill has returned to his ancestral home in Bon Temps, which is separated from the Stackhouse home by the Bon Temps cemetery. After briefly meeting Sookie at her place of work, Merlotte's bar, Sookie saves Bill from being "drained" by the Rattrays, a husband and wife who sell vampire blood for profit. Bill later saves Sookie by giving her his blood when the Rattrays seek revenge. They subsequently embark on Sookie's first serious romantic relationship. Sookie has to endure a fair amount of dislike from the Bon Temps locals, who dislike Bill because he is a vampire.
Sookie and Bill's relationship falls apart when Bill is called back to his maker, Lorena, who entraps him in Mississippi to gain control of a project on which Bill is working for Sophie-Anne. Bill will not give the location of his project nor will he reveal his girlfriend's name. Lorena then tortures him repeatedly. Bill never gives in. Meanwhile, Sookie aids Bill's boss, Eric Northman, in attempting to rescue Bill. In the process, Sookie is staked, rescued by Eric, and has to have his blood in order to recover to rescue Bill. Sookie manages to rescue Bill after killing Lorena in self-defense, but their relationship does not recover and is later dealt even further harm by the revelation some months later (prompted by Eric, and Sookie's visit to Louisiana) that Bill had deliberately sought Sookie out on the orders of Louisiana's vampire Queen.
Through all of the series, even after Sookie had broken up with Bill, he stayed on the periphery watching her to make sure she was all right. Bill has always said that he loved Sookie and that he would die for her if necessary. Sookie has always known this and mentioned it in Dead and Gone.
Lorena
In the third book, Club Dead, Lorena is introduced as Bill's maker and sire. They were lovers since Bill became a vampire and they had an intense relationship. They broke up eighty years ago. In this novel, Bill tells Sookie that he had gone to Jackson because Lorena had called him and he was obeying her summons. Bill knew it was dangerous business with Lorena and that he might not make it back. He tells Sookie to wait for him for eight weeks. Lorena ordered Bill to leave Sookie and threatened to kill her. After 3 days, while Bill is being tortured by Lorena, Pam (Eric's fledgling) tells Sookie that Bill was going to leave her and make financial arrangements for her.
Selah Pumpfrey
Following his broken relationship with Sookie, Bill briefly dated a real estate agent named Selah Pumfrey. Bill makes it obvious that he still carries a torch for Sookie and continues to try to be involved in her life.
[edit] Television portrayal
In True Blood, an HBO series based on the books, this character is played by British actor Stephen Moyer.
