On top of that, despite Godric showing mercy by putting an end to Steve's plans and telling everyone at the church to go home to prevent further bloodshed, Luke still continued his crusade by later going to Godric's nest and detonating a suicide bomb, killing himself and several vampires and humans. |
| 101 | * SuicideAttack: He wraps himself in silver and detonates in a vampire meeting. |

| 117 | %%* ChurchMilitant |

After he gets his ass handed to him by Jason in a humiliating manner, he later takes his anger out on a vulnerable Sookie by trying to rape her, and only is prevented from doing so by Godric. He shamelessly pleads with Godric to spare him, but it doesn't work. |
| 119 | * FantasticRacism: Like all the Fellowship members, he hates vampires. |
| 120 | %%* TheFundamentalist |
| 121 | * {{Jerkass}}: While the other members of the Fellowship are hardly nice people, Gabe stands out when it comes to being a depraved lunatic. |
| 122 | * PsychoForHire: Gabe is apparantly a mercenary. |
| 123 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: His repeated attempts to rape Sookie mark him as the most blatantly evil member of the Fellowship. |
| 124 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Subverted. He may care about killing vamps but he is a maniac who will kill and rape anything given the chance. |

She's characterized by her over-protective and possessive relationship with her son and (despite his age) treats him as though he's a child. She is threatened by any other women in his life, and he still lives at home with her despite being in his late 20s. |
| 198 | !!!Tropes |
| 199 | %%* AbusiveParent: To Hoyt; she's willing to sacrifice his hopes of happiness to keep him in her life, as she's become dependent on him |
| 200 | %%* BitchInSheepsClothing |
| 201 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: By Maryann in Season 2. |
| 202 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Maxine finally meets her end when Violet rips her guts out.]] |
| 203 | * ControlFreak: To Hoyt in particular, who she seeks to control via emotional abuse and smothering. |
| 204 | %%* EvilMatriarch |
| 205 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: While we see some soft sides to Maxine once in a while, she is overall cruel and racist person that would kill a non-human with pure glee. |
| 206 | * LargeHam: Especially when she was under Mary-Ann's spell. |
| 207 | %%* MamaBear |
| 208 | * MyBelovedSmother: She's the Smother in question. |

| 219 | * DeadpanSnarker: On several occasions, though it rarely seems hes has the brains for this to be deliberate. One of the most notable is when Jason's shows up for his first day as a police officer. |
| 220 | --> '''Kevin (to Andy):''' I guess this means you find my performance inadequate. |

| 232 | * EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: Betrays Andy and the Sheriff's department when she not only decides to let the rioting townspeople raid the station's armory, but joins them]] |
| 233 | * GenreSavvy: Treats a lot of paranormal situations with the appropriate amount of incredulity or wariness. |
| 234 | * HyperCompetentSidekick: Arguably works harder than Bud or Andy. |
| 235 | * MetaGirl: She has plenty of commentary on the bizarre way in which the Sheriff's Office is run. |
| 236 | * OnlySaneMan: ZigZagged. While she occasionally demonstrate ArbitrarySkepticism, it's usually justified in certain circumstances. One example is in season 1 when she doesn't believe Tara's claim about seeing a naked woman and a pig in the middle of the road because Tara was driving drunk and had just crashed her car. On top of that, she's usually able to see through people's bullshit and has no issue calling them out for their behavior: Like her scathing response when Bud makes a racist joke about Miss Jeanette's death in season 2, or when Jessica reveals that Hoyt joined a hate group in season 5 after breaking up with her, with Kenya sarcastically saying "He's a real prince charming, isn't he?" That being said, she ends up grabbing the IdiotBall hard in the last season when she joins up with the mob that's targeting supernaturals, which ultimately [[spoiler: results in her death.]] |
| 237 | * SassyBlackWoman: Although she's more 'dry' than 'sassy'. |

| 260 | * ConWoman: 'Miss Jeanette' is actually Nancy [=LeVoir=], a drugstore clerk who cons people with fake exorcisms. |
| 261 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Downplayed. Her exorcisms are a scam to get money, but she later reveals to Tara that she does it because she's got family members she's trying to support. |
| 262 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: At first glance, her exorcism of Tara's demons doesn't seem to have anything to do with the main plot. However, it's later revealed that [[spoiler: the ritual she had Tara perform summoned [[BigBad Maryann]] to Bon Temps.]] |

| 322 | %%* BrawnHilda |
| 323 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Taken down fairly quickly once she was discovered. |

| 325 | * FantasticRacism: Against shifters, for which she has a very [[EvilIsPetty petty]] FreudianExcuse (a shifter girl once stole her man). |
| 326 | ** In the books, her FreudianExcuse was [[spoiler:having been bitten by a werewolf.]] |
| 327 | %%* FryingPanOfDoom |
| 328 | * HateSink: Probably one of the most despicable characters on the show. She's a bigoted shrew who has a petty grudge against shifters because her ex-husband left her for one, and she's organized a Hate Group responsible for going out and targeting innocent people like Sam and Luna. She also plans to use this Hate Group to start a war with supernaturals (vampires, shifters, etc) where humans will win and she can invoke laws that will make it legal for humans to continue murdering supes. She's also a slimy coward who will run away in fear the moment things go wrong. |
| 329 | * InNameOnly: Her book counterpart was Sookie's colleague, a cook and former stripper. This was likely changed, because it's similar to the season 1 storyline, where another of Sookie's trusted associates turned out to be a murderer. |
| 330 | * LadyMacbeth: Bud Dearborne probably would've had nothing against shifters and other supes if not for her influence. |

Jason eventually comes to realize this. |
| 342 | * JerkJock: He's a rude teenager who's revealed to be taking V to enhance his athletic performance. |
| 343 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After season 3, he's never seen again. It's implied that Jason stopped caring about Kitch taking V after he revealed that the high school knew about it and didn't care. Plus, Jason had his hands full of other stuff, like taking care of the werepanther tribe, training to become a cop, and attempting to locate his missing sister. |
