DNA of Sookie Stackhouse.
telepathy
Sookie discovered at a very young age that she had the power to hear other people's thoughts. While some might see it as an advantage, it can be a curse hearing things you don't want to, and as a result Sookie grew up feeling like an outcast.
irresistible
Vampires (and fans of the show) find Sookie absolutely irresistible. You could say it's in her blood. Something about faerie blood is like a drug to vampires, and they can smell it a mile away. And no wonder — it temporarily gives them the power to survive sunlight.
bitten
Apparently the attraction vampires feel for Sookie is mutual. She seems to have a thing for fangs, having first fallen for Bill Compton and then Eric Northman.
silence
One of the reasons Sookie is attracted to vampires is that she cannot hear their thoughts, which makes her feel normal.
TRUEBLOOD

faerie energy
Sookie also has the ability to generate
and control energy in the form of light.
She has gradually learned to control this power, and she's now able to use it to protect herself by projecting blasts of energy that send people flying.
halfling
As a faerie/human hybrid, Sookie enjoys some of the powers of faeries, but not at the same full strength. Plus, as a halfling, she has only a limited amount of faerie magic. As a result, each time she uses it, she drains a total reserve that can't be replenished. Once she runs out of magic, she'll become a regular human.
supernova
Sookie has also learned that she can create a supernova, releasing all her energy at once to destroy all vampires in the vicinity. But doing so will drain her of all her powers and render her human, a thought that has tempted her more than once.
