Well, I know what she is in the book series, but the producers, etc. seem to be taking a bit of liberty with the cast of characters. In the book, she is a menaed, and actually attacks Sookie, not Sam. Has nothing to do with him actually. I don't have HBO, but I did buy the first season on dvd, will be awaiting the second one anxiously....and DON'T ruin it for me, pleeeeeze? OK, I googled Menead, she's a worshipper of a few Gods in Greek mythology, but the only real explanation was in a response marked "True Blood spoiler".....so, guess i wasn't much help there.
But really, if you can find them, read the books.....they are written by Charlaine Harris, and I found mine at Wal-Mart....she's got 9 of them out, or maybe 10....but it will explain the complexity of the characters, and some other details not covered in the series on HBO. Half of me wishes that they'd stayed true to the characters....Amy was actually a witch that popped up in the 4th or 5th book. Turned out to be a friend and cohort of Sookie. It isn't Jason that gets all tied up with those Friends of the Sun cultists....actually, it's another character. And I was bummed when they killed off Lafayette in the books....the series expanded on his character....I loved him!
Personally, I do love the series and the books...but I love anything vampire anyway.....there's a new tween series out called the House of Night series.....if you liked Twilight, you'll like these....up to 5 books now with the 6th coming out in November. Different premise of how one becomes a vampyre...not vampire.....and it's pretty cool too. I found them at Wal-mart too......they read fast, I did 3 in two days......P.C and Kirsten Cast are the authors...mom and daughter team.
