Played by American actress Karina Logue, Denise makes her debut on the series' premiere episode, "Strange Love", in the series' first season.

Denise is a mean-spirited person.

Biography[]

Background[]

Denise and her husband are "drainers," V-dealers who kidnap vampires and drain them of their blood for consumption and profit. Like most drainers, the two presumably kill their victims once they have no more use for them. They operate out of Bon Temps, Louisiana.

Season 1[]

"Strange Love"[]

In an attempt to drain Bill Compton of his blood to sell, the Rattrays were stopped by a chain-wielding Sookie in the parking lot of Merlotte's. ("Strange Love")

"The First Taste"[]

Having sworn revenge, the Rattrays returned the following night and began to mercilessly beat Sookie outside Merlotte's.

Bill came to her rescue and killed the Rattrays, saving Sookie from what would have been a fatal beating. The following day, the Rattrays were mysteriously found crushed to death by their trailer supposedly having been hit by a tornado. Bill later admitted to Sookie that he fed on and crushed them. ("The First Taste")

Season 3[]

"Evil is Going On"[]

At the end of season 3, Eric reveals to Sookie that Bill purposely allowed the Rattrays to beat her to a point of near death, just so he could give her some of his blood. Bill admits that this is true, prompting Sookie to rescind both Bill's and Eric's invitation into her house. ("Evil is Going On")
