What sets her apart from other people is that she has a telepathic ability, which is not a surprise because she is surrounded by supernatural ('supes') people like vampires and fairies. She and her brother, Jason are the only Stackhouses left after their entire family dies. The series revolves around her life and her journey as she grows up. Like any normal young girl, Sookie goes through the agony of broken hearts and relationships too, relating her character with any young woman reading the book.
