Sookie Stackhouse

Anna Paquin

True Blood

Sookie lost her parents as a child, not long after realising 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. 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, but she has yet to find out whether her bite can back up the bark.

Sookie Stackhouse is a telepathic waitress who has had her life turned upside down by the supernatural - including (but not limited to) love, loss and danger.
