Sookie's not-too-bright, self-involved brother, who is vigilant in defending and protecting Sookie. He supervises a road crew during the day, and is known for bedding the women of Bon Temps at night.

%%* TheCasanova
%%* ChewToy
%%* ChickMagnet

* Brother-SisterTeam: Sookie and Jason develop this relationship over time. Jason comes to her aid against the Fellowship of the Sun in season 2, and they later team up in season 4 to rescue Tara from Moon Goddess Emporium. They also act as one another's support when things get tough, [[spoiler: such as Sookie comforting Jason when he was worried about turning into a werepanther in season 4, or Jason comforting Sookie over the revelation in season 5 that Warlow is after her.]]

%%* BadassBoast

%%* BashBrothers: Became this with Andy.

%%* DumbBlonde
%%* FairCop

%%* WalkingShirtlessScene

* FetusTerrible: She believed this while pregnant with René's baby, thinking René's evil is InTheBlood.

%%* SeenItAll: By season 5, she has.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Was flushing Talbot's remains down the sink and [[ForcedToWatch forcing Russell to watch]] incredibly cruel? Yes. Can anyone ''really'' fault her for it after all the torment she and her loved ones had gone through at Russell's hands? Probably not.

* YourCheatingHeart: Despite being a married man, he cheats on his wife with Lettie Mae. He later marries Lettie Mae in between seasons 3 and 4.

* TheAtoner: For his DarkAndTroubledPast. It doesn't work out, and we never find out about the details of his troubled past either, beyond having done time for drugs and armed robbery.
* BoomHeadshot: How he dies.

* CharacterDeath: Eggs is killed by Jason when he confronts Andy with a gun.

%%* TheHedonist

** Starts to develop this with Andy around season 2. While Jason and Andy initially dislike each other, they start to bond after saving Sam from Maryann's followers and attempting to take Maryann down. This continues to develop with Andy getting Jason a job as a cop, and Jason later attempting to support Andy when he's struggling with his V addiction. By the end of the show, they are close friends.

* RapeAsBackstory: It's revealed in season 5 that Jason had a sexual relationship with a teacher when he was 13 years old, which makes what happened to Jason statutory rape. It's heavily implied that this relationship led Jason to believe that his only worth as a person was in sex and nothing else, which influenced his relationships with women later on in life.

* GoshdangItToHeck: Sookie's usual method of swearing, especially in early seasons. When she lets loose an [[PrecisionFStrike F-bomb]], you know shit just got real.

* TheProtagonist: Sookie is the main character of True Blood.

* ManChild: Deconstructed and ultimately played straight. Hoyt grew up under a mother who was bigoted in every sense of the word (racist, sexist, homophobic, etc) and smothered him well into adulthood in an attempt to keep him in her life after her husband committed suicide. The result is that Hoyt is emotionally stunted. While he's physically a 28 year old, he's mentally a kid because of the way Maxine's treated him for most of his life, which has impacted how he's able to process the world. While he is initially nice and means well, this mentality is ultimately a handicap for Hoyt because it makes it hard for him to process hard truths and disappointments in life without reacting in an extremely childish manner (like when Hoyt finds out the truth about his dad, or when Jessica ends their relationship). When that happens, a nastier side to his character comes out that's a lot like a kid throwing a temper-tantrum (except it's a grown-ass adult whose doing it), and he falls into a NeverMyFault mentality where it's easier to blame others for things that go wrong (much like how his mother does). This is ultimately taken to the extreme at the end of season 5 when Hoyt, instead of choosing to learn anything from his recent experiences, opts to glamour all of his memories out of his head. And while it's unpleasant to watch, it does make sense Hoyt would behave like this considering how he was raised. It's also implied that part of the reason Jessica loses interest in their relationship in season 4 is because she feels like she became a ReplacementGoldfish for Hoyt's mom in that he expects her to do the stuff his mom used to do for him, and she's having none of that.

%%* OnlySaneMan
* SingleTargetSexuality: For Jessica.
-->''"Other women don't even EXIST to me!"''

Sookie's co-worker, previously in a relationship with Jason. She briefly attempts to rekindle her relationship with him, but after he criticizes her after finding out she slept with a vampire, she forces him out of her house at gunpoint.

%%* DeadpanSnarker
* MaleGaze: Via Jason, focused very much on her ass.
%%* MsFanservice

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: She gets little to no character aside from being Jason's ex, and then gets killed.

* DemotedToExtra: Despite being a strong character in the third season and central to the plot in the fourth, her significance is quickly reduced from then on to simply being Andy's girlfriend. It is telling that she hasn't done anything magic-related since the fourth season.

* AntiHero: [[KnightInSourArmor Type II]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist Type III]].

%%* ImprobableAimingSkills
%%* {{Jerkass}}: In the early episodes mainly.
%%** JerkWithAHeartOfGold

->'''Played By:''' Jim Parrack

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite the issues they sometimes have with each other, and the way they start off in season 1, it's pretty clear that Sookie and Jason care deeply for each other, and that Jason loves his sister. He has risked his life for her on several occasions, worked fiercely to protect her, and is overjoyed when Sookie returns from faerieland after missing her for a year.

%%* ReallyGetsAround

* ManChild: At least up until he moves out of his mothers house to live with Jessica.

* ButtMonkey: Becomes one by season 5, living in a near-constant state of depression and anger after losing Jessica and his best friend.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: For all the jokes made about how stupid Jason is, this guy has no issue turning lethal if people he cares about are in danger. Franklin, Warlow, and plenty of other vampires find this out the hard way.

* BadassNormal: Niall points out that he has not inherited any special fae powers, and the royal fae bloodline skipped him.
