Who is Maryann Forrester?

This post is unashamedly for fans of Alan Ball's addictive vampire series True Blood.

The blood lust continues unabated but season two's biggest question is perhaps "who, or what, exactly is Maryann Forrester?" The powerful, shimmering and highly-controlling new arrival in downtown Bon Temps? We know she has history of some sort with Sam Merlotte, the shape-changing bar owner and she can cast spells over people to do her bidding. She is extremely powerful and has an underlying dislike of Sookie. So what is she? Our best guess had been a Minotaur (below), although it appears the Charlene Harris book had her as a Maenad yet it is not clear how faithful to the book the TV versions will remain. Both are from Greek mythology and are somewhat fearsome, although it's pretty clear that whatever her true form, Maryann Forrester is an out-and-out evil bitch! And we love it...
