"Just get the fuck out!"

―Luna to Sam

Luna Garza was a major character in the fourth, and fifth seasons of True Blood. She is played by starring cast member Janina Gavankar. She was a Skinwalker introduced as a new love interest for the already established Sam Merlotte. A minor character by the name of Luna appears in the second Sookie Stackhouse book, Living Dead in Dallas.

Personality

Luna was a headstrong woman who wasn't afraid to speak her mind. She could often be cold or even rude to strangers and didn't like them butting into her business. When prompted, she often took rash decisions without properly thinking situations through. At those moments she would often ignore the advises of others or snap at them for not helping.

Despite all this, Luna possessed a caring and loving side. She proved she would do anything for her daughter Emma. When something or someone threatened her daughter, Luna would jump into action without hesitation.

She was even prepared to risk her own life while doing so. When Emma was taken to The Authority headquarters by Steve Newlin, Luna skinwalked as Steve to get her out, while knowing prolonged skinwalking could kill her.
