I'm really hoping she's a Chupacabra.

Looking at her appearance, I thought WerePanther or something of the like too, but especially if she's playing into Latin Mythologies, Chupacabra was the first I thought of. The only thing wrong with that originally was "La Loba." How are they going to call her she-wolf if she's not a wolf?

Descriptions of the chupacabra have heavily included a certain wolfish or dog-like quality to it, including a dog- or panther-like nose, but it's also described as a lizard, so kind of like a mix between reptile and mammal, which looked a lot like her markings. Her faces were also crazy long, and Chupacabra means "Goat sucker," which means basically a Mexican or South American vampire, and I think/hope that's how they'll play it, as a type of vampire. The only other issue is that a Chupacabra are said to have red eyes and she had green, although I can see them making her eyes green because an alpha's is already red, or making them turn red when she's angry or something like that.

Another idea is the actual myth of La Loba, a wild woman who collects bones until she has enough bones to make a full wolf skeleton. When she does, she sings and it comes to life, then running off into the horizon. When sunlight or moonlight hits it, it turns into a woman.

So, that myth could mean she's just a Mexican werewolf, or it could simply allude to her story or being reanimated basically.

Still hope she's a chupacabra though. Maybe.
