You awaken and find a red leaflet on your front mat an inside it describes a place you’ve been wanting to visit since the realisation of the vampires hit.
The leaflets reads:
Bon Temps is regarded as a wonderful place to visit, and one of Louisiana’s best. We possess a rich, unique and authentic culture which is admired throughout the world. We are the home of swamps, plantations and of course all kinds of pie. We are a tight community offering local history and experiences for every taste. We want to invite you to come and enjoy the things we do every day. There is nothing we love more than having company. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Things to do:
1. Eat - Bon Temps is famous for its late night barbeques. Bon Temps offers open –hearth cooking demonstrations that reveal 19th century kitchen secrets, such as how to spit-roast meat over a wood-burning fire.
2. Drink - Imported from as far as Japan, Bon Temps is known for its speciality and synthetic drinks.
3. Hang - Join the locals at Merlotte’s, Bon Temps favourite dinner. There’s nothing like a long weekend road trip to immerse yourself in Louisiana music, sampling the state’s sonic riches.
4. Tour - Go to the amazing Cajun country. The Chalmette battlefield, where the battle guaranteeing our independence took place, may be the single most important military memorial in the country.
5. Dip - Enjoy one of Bon Temps’ murky swamps.
6. Sleep - Take a quick nap in one of Bon Temps typically southern plantation guest houses.
7. Shop - Buy a loved one a silver necklace from the Arts and Crafts fair.
8. Foresee - Have your future told by Bon Temps’ very own witch doctor.
9. Chat - Join in on the fascinating discussions with Bon Temps’ Civil War group at the local church.
10. Walk - ...amongst the dead – Bon Temps cemetery is one of the oldest in Louisiana.
Some of the locals:[/u]
Sookie Stackhouse: A waitress who works at Merlottes, Sookie is telepathic and has a crush on a vampire. Word on the street is that her boss Sam Merlotte has a thing for this sassy waitress. Sookie lives with Bon Temps staple and grandmother Adele after her parents died in a car crash.
Jason Stackhouse: Some would say the town hunk, others say trouble on legs. Gossip travels fast here in Bon Temps and Jason is known to work his way through every attractive woman, even ones who are married. A charmer he might be but steer clear of this one.
Bill Compton: Bon Temps resident Vampire Bill is something like 173 years old! He fought in the civil war and returned to his family home in an attempt to become mainstream. He’s been spotted courting Sookie Stackhouse. He’s supposed to be harmless but some of the locals aren’t convinced. If you’re not one to drink with the undead then best to avoid Merlotte’s after-hours.
Sam Merlotte: Sam is quite a private guy but as owner and operator of the local watering hole, he holds a front-row seat to all the small-town drama of Bon Temps. You might catch Sam sleep walking naked every now and again and don’t be afraid of the dog that always hangs around his bar when its closed. We’re pretty sure it belongs to Sam.
Lafayette Reynolds: Lafayette is the eyes and ears of Bon Temps. He knows just about everything there is to know about everyone. He’s Merlotte’s short-order grill cook but he’s definitely got his hands dipped in many shady sideline businesses. Some locals say he accepts sexual favours in exchange for V-blood.
Tara Thornton: If you hear a loud, cursing voice working behind the bar at Merlotte’s, that’s Tara. Don’t worry her bark is worse than her bite. She built up a tough exterior taking care of her alcoholic mother. Tara is Sookie’s best friend but she also has a soft spot for her brother Jason.
Andy Bellefleur: Andy is the town’s detective, although no one ever really takes him seriously. He has it in for Jason Stackhouse and he still lives at home with his sister and grandmother. The poor guy can’t seem to find a nice girl to settle down with and has been a resident of Bon Temps for about as long as the Stackhouses
Arlene Fowler: If you want a secret spread, Arlene is your gal. She’s divorced with kids. The poor woman is in denial that she’s pushing forty and is always left frazzled for some reason or another.[/spoiler]
Other Vampires:
Eric Northman - Born in 1046, made Vampire in 1077. As a teenager in ninth century Scandinavia, Eric joined with a rogue band of warriors who refused to swear allegiance to any kingdom because, in his own words, "My destiny is to answer to no man."
Eric quickly became the leader of the group, which was briefly infamous for marauding on what is now Germany and Poland, until they mysteriously vanished after a battle in 1077. Eric did not speak about how he was made Vampire, or who made him, but has recently revealed that Godric is his Maker.
Eric is of Norse "Viking" descent. He made Pam, and she has been his friend & coworker numerous times over the years. He owns the tourist-y, gothic vampire club called Fangtasia in Shreveport.
Pamela Swynford De Beaufort - Pamela Swynford De Beaufort, commonly referred to as simply Pam, made into a vampire by Eric about a century before the events of the series, is introduced during the first season as his loyal (albeit lazy) assistant and the bouncer at Fangtasia. Though Pam's background has largely not been explored within True Blood, she and Eric occasionally speak to one another in Swedish. She also has claimed that she used to be a prostitute "a long, long time ago". Cynical and apparently devoid of feelings, she is often by Eric's side but does not accompany him to Dallas in the second season. After Lafayette is healed by Eric's blood, she enlists him to sell V for Eric. Throughout the series, Pam often displays lesbian tendencies. In season three she was briefly held captive and tortured by the Magister, who was trying to find out who was selling V. She is freed by Mississippi Vampire King Russell Edgington as a favour to Eric, who helped Russell blackmail the Queen of Louisiana into marrying him, thus uniting the two states. Pam has been with Eric for over 100years.
Jessica Hamby - Jessica Hamby is a young vampire "made" by Bill as a part of his punishment for murdering a fellow vampire at the end of the first season. Having been raised in an overly strict family, she relishes the freedom that comes with being a vampire, but her petulant attitude tries Bill's patience. During season two, Jessica finds a love interest in Hoyt Fortenberry, but because she was a virgin before she was made vampire, her hymen grows back each time they have sex. Their relationship is put under strain when after a fight she attacks his mother when provoked. Distraught after her fight with Hoyt and his mother she feeds on a trucker, accidentally killing him. She is haunted by this and is eventually blackmailed by Franklin who uses the trucker against her. Her relationship with Hoyt is still strained due to her inability to talk about what she has done; he proceeds to make her jealous with another woman due to her ignoring him and mistakenly thinking she had moved on. Jessica becomes the new hostess at Merlotte's and is seen to be feuding with Arlene. In episode eight of Season Three, she tells Bill how she killed the trucker because Bill had never taught her how to behave as a vampire. The pair bonds and she admits to Bill that she loves Hoyt, but feels her inherent nature as a vampire is unworkable with his good, kind personality. Towards the end of season 3, Jessica realizes that she truly loves Hoyt.
Chow Lin - Chow is the bartender at the Shreveport Vampire Bar, Fangtasia. Chow is introduced in the series as the new bartender after Longshadow is staked by Bill. When they first meet in season one, Bill admits that he prefers Longshadow after Chow boasts of having a lower par in a golf video game for Wii.
