Ive always interpreted this as being her first transformation as I highly doubt she could hide montlhy transformations at that age, so it seems to suggest for born were-creatures (in this case coyote) its a few years before the onset of puberty.

That's not necessarily true in this day. I knew one girl who got her period on 3rd grade, and several girls who got their periods in 4th grade. Girls are hitting puberty earlier now. And speculatively speaking, there has been indication that werecreatures age differently than we do, possibly affecting when they hit their puberties.

Also, I don't think that's speculation. I thought for sure they mentioned that that was her first shift. But I could be wrong.
