Bubba. Sorry I forgot.
Name: Queen Sophie-Ann Leclerq
Age: Per the Books 1100 years plus, Per the TV Show Rumor has it that she will be around 500 years plus. I personally like the 1100 years.
Brief History:
Sophie-Anne is portrayed in the books as an 1100 year old vampire, (although some say 500-600 years old per the TV series), who died in her early teens. She is originally from northern France (Lotharingia) and was the daughter of the wealthiest man in town. Her name then was Judith. When she was about ten or twelve, a peddler came to her village carrying what Sophie-Anne now believes to be a form of influenza. Within two weeks of his visit the town was wiped out except for her and an older boy named Clovis. Though she’s forgotten why, the boy did not like her. He raped Sophie-Anne and took her to the next town, where he offered her for money and food. This is probably what influenced Sophie-Ann's Sexual preferences.
They were camped out in the woods when a very hungry vampire attacked Clovis, most likely because he was bigger, and then decided that Sophie-Anne would make a good companion. His name was Alain, and they traveled together for around three years. Alain kept promising Sophie-Anne that he would bring her over - she wanted the strength - but he would do the same thing Clovis had, selling her for money. One night they came to a village where the head-man knew what Alain really was - Alain had forgotten that he killed the man’s wife while passing through. The villagers bound him with silver and left him in a hut to keep him until the priest returned from a trip. They did not tie Sophie-Anne up for they knew that she was human and that Alain had abused her. The head-man’s family wanted to take her as a slave. She sneaked into the hut and told Alain that she would free him when he changed her. After some bargaining, he agreed. She dug a hole big enough for her body in the dirt floor. They planned that Alain would drain her and bury her under that pallet that he lay on, smoothing the dirt floor as best he could. On the third night, she would rise, break his chains, and they would flee in the darkness. But the priest returned before the three days were up. By the time Sophie-Anne dug herself out, Alain was dead. The hut the villagers stored Alain in was the priest’s, and he was the one who told Sophie-Anne what had happened. She told him that she was the angel of death and that she was passing him over for being so virtuous.
After a few years, she discovered an orphan, like her, roaming in the woods, like her, and being forced sexually, like her. That orphan was Andre, and they’ve been together ever since. Andre becomes Sophie-Anne’s personal bodyguard, companion, and, at a time, lover. She has also made Sigebert and Wybert (Saxon warriors) vampires and they are also Sophie-Anne’s bodyguards. She has a special ability, a gift, in which she can talk to her “children” telepathically. She says she can keep her children with her, talking to and loving each other physically. This differs from normal “maker”/”child” relationships which start out as companions or lovers but do not last long (in vampire standards). Usually, the child will leave the maker, and must only come again when he/she is called upon by the maker.
In the books, Sophie-Anne is the vampire queen of Louisiana. She is New Orleans’s most famous and visible vampire and she has been brave, strategic, and busy in her career as a vampire leader. Sophie Anne sends Bill Compton back to his hometown of Bon Temps to find and seduce, if necessary, Sookie Stackhouse because Sookie’s telepathic ability might be valuable.
In the sixth book, Definitely Dead, Sookie learns that Sophie-Anne turned Sookie’s cousin, Hadley, into a vampire and had a romantic relationship with her. Unfortunately, the queen had to end their relationship due to the queen’s business commitment to Peter Threadgill, vampire king of Arkansas. They had previously agreed to marry each other. In this same book her political marriage to Peter Threadgill ends (he is killed), thus making her queen of Arkansas.
In the seventh book, All Together Dead, Hurricane Katrina damaged her New Orleans headquarters as well as her entertainment estate. Also in this novel, the queen is tried in the vampire summit for her husband’s death. Jennifer Cater, Peter’s second in command, brings a lawsuit against Sophie-Anne for murdering him, but the queen is found innocent. Unfortunately, a bomb explosion in the hotel where the summit was held left her severely injured and she eventually loses her legs. Sophie-Anne is killed in the take over by the Nevada king, Felipe de Castro in the eighth book of the series, From Dead to Worse.
NOTE TO THE READER: All of this information was from Wikipedia. I am not trying to claim it as my own but I liked the way that they had it ordered. That being said I did know all of this information and I added some of my on little things in there as well. I just didn't see the point in redoing something that was already Awesome! LOL
Personality: She is charming, wily, ruthless and wise. With one foot in the old world and one in the new, she rules all vampires in the state of Louisiana, and engages with Kings and Queens from other states. Brilliant and far-sighted, she is a consummate diplomat, politician and adversary. Incredibly cultured, has known many of history’s most famous people personally — as well as had affairs with many of them — she is entertaining, funny, dangerous and delightful.
What do you have planned for this character?
I of course want Sophie extremely active. I don't know how active she will be in New Orleans considering most of the Plot happens in Bon Temps. I am considering having her make renovations in her Mansion in New Orleans and taking leave and visiting Eric in Shreveport. It will give her the excuse to leave and it will put her in the middle of the action. Since we don't have the main characters that are in her presence at all times She could have left them behind in New Orleans and as we gain them they can Come up to where she is.
Have you read the books?
Of Course I have! All 9 and I have watched all the episodes and own season one on DVD. I am a Dork.
Name three facts about your cannon
1. Sophie Ann is Bi-Sexual and for the most part she prefers females, occasionally she will find some lust for a male but it is rare.
2. Sophie Ann can speak to all the people that serve her telepathically. It is not clear however in the books weather it is just between the people that she made or the people that serve her. It does make it clear that it is limited and the only instances that you know of it happening is between her and the people that she made. The TV Series however is rumored to put a spin on it, like they did most thing in the series. :-P
3. As Educated and proper as Sophie-Ann is she is still a mere child. She was turned in her early Teens, I am thinking that per the books it was around 15 so she will still have that kind of mentality. Sophie has had a rough life and she matured well beyond her years very early in life, which makes her an excellent leader.
Sample RP:
Sophie-Ann Walked into her day room after a wonderful and peaceful Day's sleep. She was wearing a very beautiful sundress that was a pale pink color with little sequins all over it in floral designs. She was wearing a matching pair of high heels and in her hair was a little pale pink flower. When Sophie-Ann Dresses she does not just finish with the typical dress and shoes, Sophie finishes her outfits out with Jewelery. Diamonds are a girls best friend and she always has her's near. In her ears she has a simple set of drop diamond earrings, On her neck sits a heart shaped pink diamond with regular diamonds making up the chain, and on her wrist is a pink diamond bracelet.
Sophie-Ann Makes her way across the room and instantly sits in her day chair. It is rather comfy, not that she needs it, and it suits her personality to a T. She sits with her left leg bent and her right leg straight out in front of her. she then places her left arm on her bent left leg and beckons for her human servants to come in so that she may feed. She snaps her fingers and instantly there are 10 humans lining up in front of her. They are all wearing the most skimpy outfits that they can find and she is instantly turned on.
To think that she had so many people that Wanted her and knew her well enough to know that she favored a little skin to show in all of her meals. Skin showing was not simply for her sexual pleasure but it was also Practical as well and made for easy access to any of the veins that she wanted.
Sophie then looks up and down the line trying to decide which person she wanted to accompany her tonight. She was in the mood for a good game of Monopoly and she wanted to eat. She needed Three people. She chose two guys, one's name was Andrew and he was a sexy little number that had just turned 18, the other was named Jose and he was quickly beginning to be one of her favorited to feed from. Then She began to look for a female that way it was two girls and two boys playing tonight.
Sophie's Eyes instantly went to Hadley, she was the girl that Sophie believed saw her for who she was and she didn't mind it. Sophie was quickly falling in love with this girl and she loved her company. She beckoned for her to come over and dismissed the rest of the servants. "Gentleman If you two will give us some privacy I will feed and then when I call we will play a few games." She then smiled at Hadley and motioned for her to come over so that she may feed from her.
