Here is a list of live-action, that's right: lady werewolves.  Because I'm lady.  And I love werewolves.  I refuse to apologize.  This is The Nerdy Werewolf, after all.

ALL YE WHO ENTER: There be *SPOILERS* here!  There, you've been warned.  It's on you now.

*Since I started this list, the number of characters I could add has exploded.  In an effort to keep out the clutter, any characters that have not transformed at all on-screen will be excluded.
