Why is Sophie Anne obsessed with light and water

to the point of setting her palace in an artificial lagoon,

decorating it throughout with a marine motif,

surrounding herself with the remains of sea creatures,

and lighting it with skylights

and dioramas that allow her to imagine she’s spending a sunny day at the seashore?

Could it have something to do with the reason that Sookie and Jason’s parents were killed in a flash flood or why Sookie will find Hunter in distress at an aquarium in season 3?

Could Sophie Anne have been part water fairy before she was made vampire?

Could that special fairy spark that Niall sees in Sookie be what provides Sophie Ann with her great wealth of knowledge that is far beyond what would be expected of a 500 year old vampire?

Is it the same thing that Amy recognized in Jason when she told him that there was something old and wise inside him?

If Russell Edington’s owes part of his position as King of Mississippi to his ability to command  a gang of V addicted Weres, could Sophie Anne’s high status in the vampire world be in part due to a retinue who have fairy powers? Since we know that one of those powers is telepathy, can we assume that Sophie Anne is a telepath?

In the novels, Sophie Anne’s special gift was the ability to communicate with her children telepathically. As Sookie and Barry’s experiences have shown, that requires two telepaths. If Sophie Anne is one, does she make a habit of searching out others like her? With the difficulty of finding such valuable resources, would Sophie Anne be content to watch them age and die in the short span of a human life or would she make them her children?

Since none of Sophie Anne’s children from the books have been seen on True Blood, could Sophie Anne have lost them during the devastation of Hurricane Katrina? The levees broke in the morning when the vampires would have been at their rest. They could have been inadvertently exposed to sun light.

If Sophie Anne needs to rebuild her coterie, is she distributing V in order to locate humans with fairy ancestry?

If it had been Sophie Anne’s blood that kindled Jason’s fairy spark, she would have felt it and been able to locate him.

Is that how the drug addicted Hadley wound up at court, and is her fairy blood the reason she’s one of the queen’s favorites? It certainly isn’t due to her beauty, brains, or sparkling personality.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
