Derek in season 2 "The shape you take reflects the kind of person that you are"

this is interesting as Tahlia was a full-wolf, maybe she was a true alpha, we don't know for sure, but her being a leader of sorts, was it due to her ability to transform? or did she ascend to that level through her leadership and transform into a full wolf later? i don't know if that made sense, but i hope everyone understands the theory behind it!

Maybe Laura took after Tahlia as a person (maybe she was a true alpha as well we don't know, just because they are rare and come along once in a 100 years according to deaton, it doesnt seem to be a set-in-stone rule from what I gather) and became a Full Wolf due to her succession in the pack as a leader after Tahlia's passing, rather than a genetic inheritance of the transformation.

peter's beast-like transformation seems to be because he was more animal than man at the time, running on pure instinct, and it will be interesting to see if he regains that form in 3B or season 4.

someone remind me of the reasons why jackson became the kanima again? slipped my mind.

Deucalion turning from good to pure sadistic and demonic evil is pretty self-explanetory for the 'how is he able to become a demon-wolf' question.

i think it's all to do with character. Maybe the alphas that couldn't wolf out to the extent of Deuc, Peter, Tahlia, Laura etc weren't as fully embracing of their alpha status for either one of two reasons: they are not the leader of their pack (Ennis, Kali, Twins) or they are confused/conflicted (Derek, I think?)

This is all just my theories behind the transformation variations, I don't claim any of this as fact but any feedback would be appreciated!
