FEY

[SOOKIE STACKHOUSE]

Fairies are portrayed as beautiful, with pointed ears, and glossy, thin skin. In this universe, fairies are extremely attractive to humans as well as vampires. Vampires have a hard time resisting fairies because of their smell and taste. The first fairy, Claudine, is introduced in [the book] "Dead to the World" and Sookie sees the reaction between vampires and fairies. She explains that “it was like watching cats that’d suddenly spotted something skittering along a baseboards.”

Vampires say that fairies are hard to catch and they look at them the way a “chocoholic would look at chocolates.” Fairies are allergic to lemons and iron. They normally inhabit the fey world, but there are portals and doorways between there and the human world.

Sookie's great-grandfather Niall Brigant, is a fairy prince, and Claudine and Claude are Niall’s grandchildren. In later books, Claudine admits to Sookie that Claudine is her fairy godmother. She was assigned this role in an effort to move on to the next level, which is angelhood.
