Sookie being a Human/Fairy Hybrid has several powers that have been shown in the series. Her first power is telepathy that is the ability to hear thoughts and read people's minds. She has had this power her entire life, and it often led her to become an outcast in her youth until she learned to gradually control it. ("Strange Love") So far, it's been explained that her grandfather, Earl, had the same ability. Sookie has also shown to be capable of hearing spirits through the minds of mediums who contact them.
