Vampires appear like normal humans, though paler in complexion ("Sparks Fly Out"). Their fangs protrude when they're feeding, aroused, angry or excited, otherwise they're concealed to maintain a human appearance. If a vampire decides to mainstream and not feed till the humans death, they remain intact by drinking Tru Blood.
Vampires are immortal and appear how they did when they were turned. However, it is assumed that a vampire's hair grows. Eric is shown to be given a haircut ("Nothing but the Blood") and Lorena's hair is shown to vary in length, in 1865 her hair is very long and by the 1920s her hair had been cut short, to fit the style of the time and by 2009 her hair has grown to shoulder length. It is shown that vampires do not gain weight as explained by Eddie the vampire Jason and Amy have kidnapped. He explains to Jason that he is how he was when he was made, lacking little exercise and maintaining a bad diet while he was human, remaining over weight as a vampire.("I Don't Wanna Know")
In the case of Jessica Hamby she was turned at a young age and was still a virgin. Her second sexual experience with Hoyt she realized she would be a virgin indefinitely, because her hymen would grow back due to vampires accelerated healing.("I Will Rise Up")
When vampires cry they don't cry normal tears, their tear ducts expel blood. This is seen when Jessica begins to cry when talking to Sookie about missing her family ("Keep This Party Going"), and again when Lorena is asked to leave Godric's nest in her final conversation with Bill. ("Timebomb")
Vampires fangs are hidden in plain sight, meaning that vampires can hide their fangs whenever they choose. Their fangs protrude not just by their feelings but by the movements of certain muscles in the face, that is why vampires often move
their head a little before displaying their fangs. Vampires fangs are located behind the maxillary lateral incisors instead of their canines as shown in past vampire lore.
