Talia and Laura were both able to go full wolf, even Cora's seems a little odd, nevermind the fact that she is apparantly powerful enough for Derek to belive the Calaveras are looking for her across country borders.

However the thing most people seem to be forgetting is that whatever people transform into depends of their personality.

Jackson= abusive creep with identity issues= lizard form

Scott= pure hearted= true alpha

Kate= agressive, muderous manipulator= jaguar form It wasnt that cora was powerful, we know thats not true she gets her ass beat enough, it was just that Derek had known she was south of the border so if spanish hunters show up asking about a female werewolf what else would be your first thought. Its never stated that their " MUCH older' either. and acutally Peter gives out what dereks age is in that episode

Peter never gave us Derek's age...did he? He made that antagonizing statement of 'not as young as we could've been, but older than you might think' We know he was a sophomore in Visionary, which puts him at 15/16 (assuming he was never held back), but we have no frame of reference for how long ago that was other than more than 6 (nearly or maybe 7) years ago when the fire happened.
