Deborah Susan Pelt, better known simply as Debbie, is a werewolf on the HBO original series True Blood. Played by American guest starring actress Brit Morgan, Debbie makes her debut on the episode "9 Crimes" in the series' third season. The pathologically jealous and vigilant on and off girlfriend of werewolf biker Alcide Herveaux, Debbie plays a recurring role through the series' third, fourth, and fifth seasons. Serving as an antagonist in the third and fourth seasons, and played by American guest starring actress Heather Hopkins in flashbacks of a young Debbie, Debbie meets an untimely demise on the episode "And When I Die" at the end of the series' fourth season. She appears once more, in a flashback on the episode "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", in the series' fifth season.

Personality[]

Debbie was mean-spirited and vindictive, and her relationship with Alcide had been tumultuous. She was also pathologically jealous and vigilant. She became maniacal after being bested by Sookie on many occasions. However, most of this behavior was due to being addicted to vampire blood, as when she was clean, she was shown to be a fairly pleasant and nice person, even willing to help Sookie on occasions. That said, Debbie still felt jealous about Sookie which eventually drove her to take V again and go after Sookie.

One of the main drivers of her drug addiction was the fact that Alcide refused to have children with her after marrying as he thought the world they found themselves in was too dangerous to bring a new werewolf into the world. The anguish and sadness of thinking that she would never be able to be a mother was one of the main reasons why she became a drug addict as a way to vent her pain.

Powers and Abilities[]

Debbie Punch

Debbie was a werewolf. In wolf form she was more likely more powerful than a human, but weaker than a vampire of a moderate age. In human form however; she can be defeated in a fight- as seen between Debbie and Sookie. (Debbie and Sookie strengths were enhanced during the fight due to vampire blood). In human form she displayed heightened senses and she can make her eyes glow by will or strong emotions.
