Feelings Toward Vampires: Poor deluded shadows of their lost souls. If they would only realize that they are unclean beasts who only have a fading memory of their former selves we might be able to convince them all to do the right thing. (I haven’t had too many good experiences with Vamps… YMMV)
Feelings Toward Normal Humans: Good ones should be cherished, evil ones should be culled from the herd.

Personal Lycanthropy:

At a very early age I started having dreams of shifting into wolf form. This continued until I was around 13 or 14. Some personal tragedies prompted me to subconsciously suppress and reject my wolf and the dreams stopped.

By the time I was 20 I had realized that I had lost something and began to search for the missing parts of myself. It was then that I was visited by Raven for the first time. My first non-dream m-shifting was accomplished through some shamanic experiences with the help of Raven. I continued to try and learn and heal until about half a year ago when I was reunited with Wolf. First in dreams and finally a short while ago in a m-shift. My path continues onward with both Raven and Wolf within me. They are forever reminding me that I am never alone.
