Well, I don't know if I'd be much help. I play two different Weres.

Raven - she's a friendly, but cautious werewolf. She was abused by her own family due to spontaneous feral outbursts. When she goes feral there is no human thought. She actually went feral and destroyed her old pack. She doesn't trust others easily, but overtime when you gain her trust you gain a loyal friend. Raven could play a part in the clan being gone? She could have gone feral and doesn't remember?

Calliel - she was a human, but was accidentally turned into a WereHorse. Her Great Uncle is Azrael, a strict Dark Hunter on the Council. She left her maker and lives in her own. She works at a horse stable, and stays there, and works for Alexander the Great, another Dark Hunter. I don't know what she could be. I know relationship wise, you might not be interested, but she could befriend a WereHorse.
