Sookie Stackhouse's Bio:
Sookie Stackhouse’s talent for reading minds first manifested itself when she was a young child. Confused by this talent, Sookie’s parents initially thought this was some sort of mental illness, until one day when Sookie’s father asked her to “listen” in on a business meeting for him and found that one of his colleagues had intended to swindle him. However, her parents’ appreciation for her skill did not last long. At the age of 7, Sookie Stackhouse and her brother Jason were orphaned and left to live with their grandmother, Adele Stackhouse.
Of course, that’s not where Sookie’s troubles ended. After high school, Sookie sought work as a waitress at Merlotte’s, the local bar owned by proprietor and suitor Sam Merlotte. However, as luck would have it, one night the vampire Bill Compton walked into the bar and Sookie’s life was forever turned upside-down by the supernatural. Now clearly a part of Bill’s vampire world, their relationship continues to grow despite constant interference from other vampires.
