An earlier answer said "spies" but that is not true in the HBO TV series. The black eyes are supposedly caused by Maryann's "energy."
Maryann is a maenad dedicated to the service of Bacchus. That would make her followers bacchanates or bacchanlians, the words used for the worshipers of Bacchus back in ancient Rome. In those days, people would get heavily intoxicated and dress in animal skins or go nude, dancing in the street, whipping themselves and each other with vines, and reportedly having promiscuous sex in honor of Bacchus.
Look up Bacchus in Wikipedia for more on bacchanates, or on the parties, which were called bacchanals -- a word we still use for very wild parties with lots of intoxicants and sex.
Bacchus: BACK-us, same as Dionysus, Silenus, or Pan, a conflation of several pre-Christian gods of ecstatic release through alcohol/drugs, sex, or both.
Bacchanates: back-uh-NATES
Bacchanal: back-uh-NAHL
Maenad: MAY-nad, translation "raving one." In the True Blood world, maenads are more or less immortal, but in ancient Rome, they were merely female humans who worshipped Bacchus.
