Claudine also magically appeared to aid Sookie when she was in mortal danger on a number of occasions, however, she hinted that there were limits to how and when she could perform that trick. Sookie was not always aware of her fairy godmother's timely interventions.
It is also known that fairies can conjure objects, demonstrated by Claudine in "Fairy Dust", when she summoned a contract, and in Dead to the World , when she changed her outfit magically. A fairy, Preston, also displays the abilities to shapeshift and to seduce even Sookie, who is usually telepathically resistant to such abilities. Fae Creatures : As noted above, the world of faery in this universe includes "fairies, nymphs, water sprites, angels, elves, demons, pixies, goblins, and brownies", with fairies being the majority and base race.
Britlingens : Extremely powerful and skilled beings from another dimension who act as mercenaries, considered to rival vampires in strength. Summoning Britlingens requires an exorbitant amount of money, but once summoned they are very difficult to kill. Devils : Beings that can corrupt human souls and even buy them. Devils only make deals at crossroads, they are very tricky and have no empathy. The contract must be signed with the blood of the person who sells their soul to the devil not to be confused with "the Devil", who rarely appears "above ground".
In return, the devil will grant that person their dearest wish. Devils look very human, except for their very sharp teeth and dark red eyes. They are able to possess humans and other species referred to in Dead Ever After ; they can also appear out of thin air. They may have other powers which have not been revealed so far. Devils and demons tend to cross paths once in a while, but it has not been made clear whether or not these two species are related to each other.
If so, that would make devils a type of fae, although this is not explicitly stated. Demons : Beings that have very sharp teeth and are tricky to kill. They can manipulate fire referred to in Dead and Gone , run faster than any human or animal referred to in Dead and Gone , and generate a very powerful, burning touch referred to in Dead as a Doornail. They also possess the power of telepathy referred to in Dead Reckoning and can shapeshift referred to in Deadlocked.
Some, if not all, demons can perform magic. Cataliades was able to pass on his telepathy to Sookie's family by mixing his blood with her grandparent's wine. When they die, the earth does not take the body in nor does it decompose, so it has to be burned referred to in Definitely Dead.
Angels : These fae beings were never seen in the book series and were only referenced infrequently. It is known that faeries can become angels under certain circumstances. Claudine was attempting to become an angel and part of that transformation was to act at Sookie's fairy godmother. Angelic powers are unknown. In actuality, they're both descended from a fairy who procreated with a human several generations ago.
Fairies breed with humans, sometimes without consent, in order to propagate their bloodline. Fairy traits are also like recessive genes, which explains why Sookie is fae-bearing, but her brother, Jason, is not. Sookie has known that she's a telepath since childhood, and it's caused her a lot of social difficulties.
Afterall, it's hard to get close to people, especially romantically, when one can read their minds. However, she realizes she can't read vampire minds, and she appreciates this, even if she doesn't fully understand it at first. Her other strong fae power, projecting light from her hands to stun combatants, manifests for the first time in the show's second season.
It's a surprise to her, and she initially can't control it. After she meets her fairy godmother, Claudine, and learns more about her heritage, she realizes that telepathy and light projection are powers all fairies have. Since Sookie is only part-fairy, she has a finite amount of light magic in her, and if she expends too much, she'll lose her fae qualities altogether. Full fairies, on the other hand, have unlimited powers. Suddenly the Queen, as well as everyone else and the environment, go from beautiful to shockingly different.
The beautiful Lumiere Tree- which seemed to be the source of the beautiful illusions and time-loss- becomes nothing more than an ugly, gnarled tree, virtually lifeless. Sookie and Earl then run away from the crowd of dispersing fairies and Queen Mab along with other fairies begin to chase them, throwing what seems to be explosive photokinetic balls. Suddenly two male fairies grab Sookie and Earl and tell them they can help.
One of the male fairies is hit by an energy ball and incinerates to dust instantly. The other male fairy informs his band of renegade fae that he has the humans and to hold Queen Mab and the other incoming fairies. While Earl, Sookie and Claude escape, they eventually reach a cliff that leads into a gaping, seemingly bottomless hole.
The fairy informs Sookie and Earl that the hole is in fact a portal back to earth and tells them to jump, but Sookie is wary of jumping. Queen Mab comes and begins to close the portal. Because Earl ate the light fruit and Sookie didn't, Earl wouldn't be able to make it.
As the portal was getting smaller, Sookie and Earl jump. They are suddenly in the graveyard of Bon Temps. While Sookie is unscathed, Earl is doubled over, decaying. Eventually Earl turns to dust, not before giving Sookie his watch and saying his last goodbyes. Later Sookie discovers she had been gone for 12 and a half months, but it seems that her misadventure had only lasted minutes tops. In a flash, Eric Northman captures Claudine and begins to feed from her.
He kills her, reverting her to her true form which seems to be losing its light, thus bursting into a pile of fairy dust. She is highly attracted to Andy. After gaining his trust and even having her light transfer into his hand, the two make love. It is revealed that some of the fairies escaped the Realm of Faerie as Claude goes to a boutique to buy clothing for his sisters, when Jessica smells him, saying he smells wonderful and gives chase, but she loses him in the middle of a field.
As they sit, bags are placed over their heads. Jason and Andy grow paranoid, but Judge Clements assures them that it's okay and seems to be enjoying it.
One of the girls tells the chauffeur to drive. Andy, Jason and Judge Clements are still wearing bags over their heads as they are walked into a field by the girls. Their escorts open a portal to the fairy world and take the three men inside.
The bags are removed so that they can take in the nightclub setting. Judge Clements leaves with one girl and Jason hooks up with another, Leda.
Andy is recognized by Maurella. He wonders if he was dreaming their first night together and she assures him that he wasn't. He asks if this is a dream. She kisses him and asks what he thinks. Andy says he doesn't care and walks away with her. On the other hand, supernatural individuals often are too powerful to elicit a reaction to V. These rules explain why many people never develop connection to any of the show's vampires. In a troubling plot twist that capped off True Blood 's first season, it is revealed that Rene Lenier, the Cajun-speaking best friend and trusted ally to Jason Stackhouse and Hoyt Fortenberry, is in fact Drew Marshall, a vampire-hating antagonist responsible for taking the lives of various vampire lovers living in Bon Temps.
Although Sookie eventually discovers Rene's true identity after reading his thoughts with her telepathic abilities, many have wondered why she didn't pick up on his secret much earlier. Frequently throughout the series, Sookie encounters various threats with secret agendas, though she never picks up on them early enough. With her mind-reading, many have suggested she should always know when something is coming, but in actuality, Sookie learns to switch off her abilities after meeting Bill, who becomes a comfort thanks to his immunity to telepathy.
Throughout vampire movie history, vamps have had a history of fangs being placed near the cuspids in their mouth. The cuspids, also known as canine teeth, are the closest link between humans and carnivorous, predatory animals, intended to rip and eat away at the flesh of a victim.
Many fans have complained about the closeness of the fangs, calling True Blood out for its anatomically incorrect placement of the teeth. Creator Alan Ball has stated that the teeth are meant to resemble that of a rattlesnake with a design where the teeth lay flat across the roof of the mouth and click into place when a vampire is ready to feed.
The show's placement around the lateral incisors also serves a purpose for the cameras as it makes the fangs easily visible for viewers. As once-hidden figures who were considered a threat to the rest of the world, the vampires of True Blood are "outed" to the public. With many believing vamps to be an abomination, they are forced to lobby for civil rights as they seek to liberate themselves.
Speaking on the subject, Ball stated that the metaphor is too simple, suggesting that the show could even come off as homophobic, since the vampires are often portrayed as dangerous to other communities. Throughout vampire lore, the transformation process from a human to fanged creature of the night has remained relatively straightforward.
Usually, the newly initiated is bitten, drained of blood, and may swap some blood with the sire before completing the transition. As seen when Bill turns Jessica, the process in True Blood adds an extra step which extends the process overnight.
Although most of the siring ritual seems routine, it takes a turn for the strange when the sire and the new vampire recruit are buried together in a claustrophobic coffin. The burial process, though unnecessary, is a part of tradition which shields the new, unsuspecting vampire from the sun during the transformation.
The process could be successful in another darkened area, though there is no guarantee that the new vampire wouldn't attempt to run away, harming themselves with the sun. As a leading advocate of anti-vampire politics, the Fellowship of the Sun publicly denounced equal rights for vampires. They served as an adversary of the American Vampire League, with many evil plots planned against vampires.
Some have wondered how the Fellowship, along with its leaders Steve and Sarah Newlin, was never targeted as a criminal organization by the police and media. Much like other organizations with a long history of crime, the Fellowship operated under secrecy. Its leaders distanced themselves as much as possible from any actual crimes. As such, they were able to maintain operations while still pushing their anti-vampire agenda through programs such as the Light of Day Institute.
Still, despite its secrecy, the Fellowship did come under heavy scrutiny for its demonizing of vampires, suggesting some didn't believe the organization was trustworthy. As a general rule of thumb in vampire mythologies, older vampires are considered to be wiser and more powerful. That is why many were surprised to find Bill holding his own against Warlow in season six, given that Warlow is more than 5, years older.
As a vampire-fairy hybrid, Warlow isn't the standard definition of a blood-sucking vamp.
