 How to be a Werewolf (Webcomic)
comment
How to be a Werewolf is a Webcomic by Shawn Lenore which started in February 2015. It updates Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and until early May 2018 periodically in chapters on Webtoons.While on a camping trip with her parents as a child, Malaya Walters was bitten by a strange wolf. Everything seemed normal until the next full moon, when the girl turned into a werewolf. With her family's support, she kept the beast hidden by withdrawing from the world. Years later she only leaves the house to go to work at her father's coffee shop. However everything changes when a customer reveals himself to be a werewolf as well, and offers to teach Malaya how to be a werewolf. Soon the pair realize more is going on in the town than they realized.

comment
Gratuitous Tagalog: Malaya, Vincent, and their mother will occasionally speak to each other in Tagalog, since Dr. Dysangco Walters is Filipino and taught the language to her biracial children. It's usually translated directly into English inside angle brackets for the reader's benefit, but some phrases show up untranslated.

Reluctant Ruler: Everyone that is familiar with Werewolf society pegs Malaya as a budding Alpha (even before she pulled the Enthrallment trick by reflex). It freaks her out less than her worries about going on a man-eating rampage, but that is the best that can be said.

Good Thing You Can Heal: Many werewolves stop worrying about getting hurt and revise their idea of serious damage over time. Elias in particular does not seem to have quite internalized how delicate humans are.

Our Witches Are Different
 How to be a Werewolf (Webcomic) / int_439a64d3
comment
Our Witches Are Different: Apart from werewolves, the series features these. Witches draw their power from the earth, and must return it, or face dire consequences. Even if two witches marry and have children together, those children aren't guaranteed to be witches. Several witches are seen in the series, and all have their own unique power sets and visualizations for their magic: Marisa's magic is based around healing and repairing things, and is visualized as light blue geometric patterns based around circles. Flora Conradine's magic is based around the manipulation of plants and biological material, and is visualized as glowing green vines. Charlene's magic is mostly focused around illusions, and when it's not manifesting as a particular image, it is visualized as pink smoke.

Hypnotic Eyes: Werewolf alphas can compel people with a gaze, but usually just enough to calm them down. Sara's mother is strong enough to paralyze werewolves, something that no one else has ever even heard of.

One Super, One Power Set
 How to be a Werewolf (Webcomic) / int_47c5b3a9
comment
One Super, One Power Set: Werewolves are "internal" magic users (their power comes from themselves) and witches are "external" magic users (their power comes from something else, typically the Earth). It's impossible to be both. This also makes it very dangerous for a witch to bear a werewolf child, as the fetus can't properly grow its own magic and tries to feed off the mother.

Body Horror: The werewolf transformation may be a downplayed version of this, since although it doesn't look so bad, Malaya describes it as feeling like every bone in her body was breaking. Later on, Ginger also describes this feeling on the precipice of her first full transformation since her freedom from Connie's grip.

The Immune: Vincent getting clawed by Malaya as a child has proofed him against contracting lycanthropy from werewolf bites, leaving him to deal with the merely physical trauma. As Charlene put it, Malaya had inadvertently saved her brother, since if his body rejected the lycanthropic magic in his body, he would had eventually died from his bite becoming infected.

Gaia's Vengeance: As witches get their magic from the earth in order to cast their spells, they're supposed to give it back once they're done with it. Otherwise, there will be repercussions, namely taking the magic back by force, with interest. If the witch in question still refuses to pay their debt, they will be consumed by the earth. Connie suffers this fate once she loses all of her werewolf "batteries".

Connie Greensmith, who is in charge of the rogue werewolves, is a Faux Affably Evil version of this, constantly reminding her children how much she loves them and cares for them and how they need to obey her. This is despite the fact that she's using them as magic batteries. She also claims that the other werewolves and witches will kill them without her protection. None of them are buying what she's selling any more, but they know she'll kill them if they try to run.

It's unclear if they can ever die of old age at all, because once they get a bit older than a natural human lifespan, their wolf sides start taking over, and they leave to live out a second life in the wild as a wolf.

Parental Obliviousness: Averted with Malaya's family, which is unusual for the genre; her parents have been aware that she was a werewolf since the first time she changed, and their presence was a major factor in giving her wolf side some level of grounding.

comment
Abusive Parents: Connie Greensmith, who is in charge of the rogue werewolves, is a Faux Affably Evil version of this, constantly reminding her children how much she loves them and cares for them and how they need to obey her. This is despite the fact that she's using them as magic batteries. She also claims that the other werewolves and witches will kill them without her protection. None of them are buying what she's selling any more, but they know she'll kill them if they try to run. Marin's ultra-conservative parents disowned her when they found out she was a lesbian. Tom Yardley is deeply controlling and restrictive towards his daughter Ella, so much so that she and Lucas eventually run away from their pack.

The Big Easy: Charlene, Malaya's employee and friend, is from here. She moved to Malaya's hometown in Michigan seemingly because she wanted see winter. In reality, it's a combination of two factors: 1) receiving a vision of Malaya as a werewolf that seemed somewhat important, and 2) having to lead her life as a normal meteorologist by day and a witch in a city full of witches and witch politics by night was tiring her out, and she needed a change.

Shout-Out: Eli describes Vincent with a quick comparison to Spock the first time he describes him to Marisa and Marin. Later Vincent lends Eli Star Trek pajama pants. When Eli is trying to figure out a starting point for teaching Malaya about werewolf things he comes to the conclusion she knows "jack shit", to which she responds "Oh wow, thanks Mr. Miyagi." The Alt Text on page 507 is the Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure quote "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K".

The Baby Trap: Flora/Connie tried to force her werewolf boyfriend to stay with her by letting her birth control spells lapse without telling him. He didn't appreciate it, but still tried to get her to accept help from his pack, since otherwise the pregnancy would kill her and then the baby would die anyway. Flora refused, and found another solution.

Younger Mentor, Older Disciple: This is Elias and Malaya's relationship; despite having been bitten 20 years prior to the time of the comic at age 5, Malaya knows next to nothing about what it means to be a werewolf. As such, it's up to Elias, who was born a werewolf, to offer Malaya guidance and teaching. This trope is averted with Marin and Marisa.

Superpowerful Genetics: As Marisa helpfully illustrates, both witch powers and lycanthropy are hereditary, with some interesting rules; the biological mother must either be a witch or a werewolf, since the fetus must have magic to feed off of as it grows. Two witches and two werewolves can also have human children, like Elias's sister Patty.

Casual Danger Dialogue: A general indicator of how odd/threatening various properly socialized werewolves do not find a situation. Marisa's habitual snark, however, stands out due to her Squishy Wizard status making her far slower and more breakable than any lycanthrope.

Powered by a Forsaken Child: Connie's continued existence runs on werewolves; specifically, one alpha werewolf in the form of Elias's grandmother Ziva, her own daughter Aubery and all of Connie's abducted children. If Connie runs out of this energy, her wounds will reopen and she will die, and since the children are deeply connected to her thanks to her spells, they will die with her.

Shown Their Work
 How to be a Werewolf (Webcomic) / int_ffad4e9f
comment
Shown Their Work: Werewolf packs work like real wolf packs, meaning that there is an alpha in charge but everyone else is mostly equal. It is specifically pointed out that the traditional view of wolves having a strict pecking order is based on outdated studies from captured wolves (in fact, captured wolves act quite a lot like humans in prison). Likewise, a werewolf's animal instincts act more like a wild animal than a rampaging monster. They can easily pair-bond with humans and accept them into their pack, and they feel most comfortable in their designated territory. Aubrey having a hard time moving on from her mother's death is fairly accurate to how abuse victim(s) may still care for their abusers despite what they did to the victim(s).
