    Belinda: No last name given. Belinda works as a waitress at Fangtasia and is tortured by Hallow when she seeks the missing Eric. (DUD, DTTW)
    Bellefleur, Andy: Bon Temps police detective Andy Bellefleur is competent and thorough, although slightly hardened by his exposure to crime and criminals. He investigates the murders of several young women associated with both vampires and Jason Stackhouse. Andy arrests Jason. Sookie is attacked by the real murderer, and though he is arrested and Jason released, Andy remains suspicious of the siblings on general principle. Saddened by a child abuse case, Andy becomes drunk in Merlotte’s and is taken home by Portia. When the body of Lafayette Reynold is found in his car in the Merlotte’s parking lot the next morning, Andy himself becomes a suspect. He eventually follows his leads to Jan Fowler’s cabin in the woods, where he encounters not only the orgy participants and Bill, Eric, and Sookie, but Callisto as well. Though the true murderers die, enough evidence is left to exonerate Andy.
    Andy and Alcee Beck put in hours on the case when Jason goes missing. After Sookie brings Jason home, Andy doesn’t quite buy their story. He also responds to the arson at Sookie’s house and encounters Sookie yet again when she is confronted by Sweetie Des Arts. Andy shoots Sweetie when she is distracted by Dawson. Andy believes in Sookie’s ability and is even willing to use her when a child goes missing at the local elementary school. He briefly dreams of using her talent to solve every case but is brought back to reality by police officer Kevin Pryor, who reminds him that knowledge of the crime and criminal is not enough and that good old police work will always be necessary. Enlisting Sookie’s help when he proposes to Halleigh Robinson in Merlotte’s, an anxious Andy asks Sookie if Halleigh really loves him.
    The detective works with Agents Lattesta and Weiss when Crystal is found on the cross at Merlotte’s. Sookie calls him when she realizes that Arlene’s buddies have planned the same crucifixion for her, and he comes to Arlene’s trailer along with the two agents and is involved in the shoot-out, wounding Whit Spradlin.
    Andy reacts badly at first to the news that Bill is his great-great-great-grandfather, but Bill puts him in his place by reminding him of his manners, and Andy begins to accept the connection, ultimately deciding with Halleigh to name their daughter Caroline Compton Bellefleur when they find out they are having a girl. Andy is off duty in Merlotte’s playing darts with Danny Prideaux when the four toughs hired by Sandra Pelt come in, and he helps subdue the assailants.

    Bellefleur, Caroline Holliday: After the death of her son and his wife, Caroline Holliday Bellefleur raises her two grandchildren, Andrew and Portia. Beset by shrinking finances, the Bellefleur family home, Belle Rive, has fallen into disrepair, and Caroline is extremely pleased by a legacy from an unknown relative that allows her to restore Belle Rive to its former glory. When she finally discovers, on her deathbed, that Bill Compton is her great-grandfather and arranged the bequest, she reacts with humor, grace, and gratitude.
    Her last bequest is to leave the recipe of her famous chocolate cake to the town so the legacy of Caroline Holliday Bellefleur, once one of Renard Parish’s finest cooks, lives on in the kitchens and dining rooms of Bon Temps. (FDTW; dies DITF; mentioned LDID, CD, DTTW, DD, ATD, DR)
    Bellefleur, Halleigh Robinson: When Andy asks Halleigh, a teacher at Betty Ford Elementary, to marry him, her one condition is that they not live at Belle Rive but instead find their own home. They do buy a small house, the old Wechsler place, but a pregnant Halleigh still helps care for her grandmother-in-law at Belle Rive in Caroline’s final days. Halleigh and Andy find that they are expecting a daughter and decide to name her Caroline Compton Bellefleur. (DAAD, DD, ATD, FDTW, DAG, DITF; mentioned DR, IIHAH)
    Bellefleur, Terry: Terry Bellefleur, cousin of Andy and Portia, is a Vietnam veteran who paid dearly for doing his duty for his country.
