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.
