Claudine Crane is a powerful fairy in "The Southern Vampire Mysteries". First appearing in the novel Dead to the World, it is later revealed that she is Sookie's fairy godmother (and first cousin, once removed) and Niall Brigant's granddaughter. She's the triplet sister of Claude and Claudette Crane. As a member of the fae race, Claudine possesses certain magical abilities. Also, Claudine is not her original name, being given a true Irish name she explains "sounded like a cat throwing up." Claudine was sent to the Summerlands (killed) by her grandfather's enemy Breandan during the final battle of the Fairy War in the book Dead and Gone. At the time of her death, Claudine was carrying a full-blooded Fae child, fathered by Colman.

Biography[]
Background[]
Claudine is Sookie’s “fairy godmother” and twin sister of Claude (they had a triplet named Claudette, but she is mentioned to be dead in Harris's short story Fairy Dust.) She is also Niall Brigant's granddaughter, the niece of Sookie's half-human/half-fae grandfather, Fintan, and cousin to Sookie's father. She is first introduced in the fourth novel, Dead to the World. She is depicted as a gorgeous woman, at least six feet, with dark hair and big almond shaped dark eyes. Her skin is as pale as milk, and her legs were “as long as a stepladder” She has a beautiful smile and her skin looks glossy and thin. Sookie says Claudine's skin reminds her of the skin of a plum. In the fourth book, Sookie learns that Claudine is a fairy and that she is in Shreveport due to the various supernatural activities. Later in the books, Sookie learns that Claudine is actually Sookie’s fairy godmother who is working her way up to be an angel. Claudine has saved Sookie from danger on multiple occasions. She goes by Claudine Crane among humans. Claudine is killed in the climactic battle at the end of Dead and Gone, after announcing to Sookie that she (Claudine) is pregnant with a full-blooded fairy child. She is a Sky fairy.
