We've all heard of werewolves, but have you ever given werebears or werecrows a single thought?
What about werecats?
Therians are people who can shapeshift into animals and have managed to hide their phenomenal existence right under humans' noses. It's a whole fascinating culture lived through centuries and centuries of Earth's history.
Despite the existential boundaries, Alessia, a werecat, is just like any other confused 20 year old trying to make it by. One day she wanders too far into wolf territory -unbeknownst to her- and gets into the kind of trouble she had always craved.
Curiosity killed the cat...but satisfaction brought it back.
