// I just realized I never fully nailed down all the basic werewolf lore for Andy. So here's what I have right now:

Enhanced senses. More so in wolf shape.

just a little bit faster and stronger than average, but not significantly so

Transformations are voluntary unless stress-induced. Voluntary transformations are not painful, stress-induced are. It's unhealthy to go too long without transforming though.

I had before that wolves have to transform on the full moon but I'm waffling on that now. Maybe there's a cultural aspect to it instead?

Full human or full wolf. If anyone gets trapped in a wolf-man stage that's a medical issue.

Andy's type of wolves can't change people. They're all born wolves.

Heals faster than normal, and can force healing via transformation (though it's painful).

There's no real difference between silver bullets and real bullets. If they take either to the head they'll die.

Wolfsbane is a weakness. So are most poisons, but a lot of them can get flushed out more quickly than for humans.

Andy really should be eating more protein. Even in human form they have slightly different dietary requirements than regular humans.

It's been a while since I've talked about my werewolf OC and I don't know if I ever wound up breaking down the autism/lycanthropy thing:

heightened senses/ sensory overload

masking

stigmatized for being "dangerous"

unwilling transformation being like meltdowns:

-triggered by emotional disregulation

-going nonverbal

-needing a safe, quiet space to recover

The little tap taps of egg against rim of pan/bowl/counter before you break it:

Andy: All the taps. Can't stop tapping. Scared of actually breaking the egg. Has to line it up just right.

Nicole: No taps just goes for it. Usually breaks the egg cleanly anyway.

Zoe: One tap. Always winds up with egg on her fingers. Would rather use egg mix or something, or someone else can cook.

Doreen: Three little taps. She has to remind herself the exact amount of force she needs. Egg on her fingers maybe 40% of the time.

Chance: Two taps and break, keeping the rhythm. Almost always breaks eggs cleanly.

Entrapta: Many taps. Then breaks it with her hair instead of on the rim. All the egg goes exactly where she wants it to go but she doesn't know how to cook.

// The rest of Andy’s family also can involuntarily shift to wolves under stress, but their threshold is much higher than Andy’s. They don’t understand her inability to control herself, and they think she’s making big deals out of little things. So even though they try to be supportive, there’s a fundamental disconnect that makes it harder for them to empathize, which is part of why Andy needed to leave.

// Alright here’s a rough outline of my thoughts right now

young, college-aged werewolf who DEFINITELY doesn’t have the funds or faith to go to college

bike deliverer and aspiring web developer

transforms on the full moon and also when she’s stressed. does yoga and meditation to try to destress. (Can also transform on command but... doesn’t)

wolfy instincts but still has control. really self-conscious about her condition though

tries to live as vegan a lifestyle as possible the rest of the month to make up for when she has “the noms”

keeps dog food in her tiny studio apartment, pls no judge

// Andy is bi but she's mostly attracted to girls. She's also demi (romantic/sexual).

[thebrazenandbold]

// Things that calm Andy down that she can't really do in public:

growling

biting

chew toy

also, deep pressure hugs cuz she's usually too scared to ask and doesn't know anybody.
