Ideas.

In Season 2, When Jackson was begining to reject the bite, Derek approached him and noticed that Jackson wasn't turning, which in fact was odd. Black goop was sacreting from his nose, his ears and at times his eyes.

Well, Derek pointed out something valuable to the way people take the bite. Sometimes, if not rarely, a person doesn't change into a werewolf and takes the shape of their true self. This is known i.e. the fact that Jackson didn't transform into a werewolf at first.

Another ideal that can drive at this is that maybe this falls onto Malia, the new character in 3B. She wasn't a werewolf, or a wolf for that matter. She was a Werecoyote. Pointing at that she might've been experiencing the same trama that jackson might've gone through or at least something similar to it.

Another idea could be the meathod that Kate transformed. She wasn't biten by Peter Hale, she was scratched. In that moment, a flashback opened up and it revealed a conversation that Kate had with Chris. She asked if one's scratched can they turn.

He replied, if the claws go in deep enough yes.

That very idea could lead to believe that with different meathods of turning, gives different results. I could be that the way she turned wasn't via bite. It was via scratch so she would become a creature that had similar abilities of a werewolf, but not look exactly like one. Inf anything her transformation makes her skin turn, maybe she reflects her truest self in this form, because she probably had some deep connection to her human look, but wanted power?

This idea is just a theory of course, but she could've gained the power by mixing all three of the meathods. Who's to say she couldn't have found a wolf's footprint and drank rainwater, or let the wolf bite her in an attempt to become a werewolf. The idea of a wolf, could even go as far as being a normal wildlife wolf, not a werewolf. But then again where would it have come from? The thoeries could continue on for ages.

But the one with the shape you taking reflecting your truest self, makes the truest sense to me, because it's one that we've already seen before, so it isn't botched instantaneously.

I think, she was turned via scratch, and was turned into something that reflected her truest desires or form.
