Especially if the Desert wolf turns out to be just a nickname and shes not a shifter of any kind meaning that malia is a coyote just because. Not a fan of the myriad of creatures you can accidentally turn into from getting the bite. What was wrong with Kate turning into something else? Its been said multiple times that the type of person you are sometimes reflects the shape you take. I know a little about jaguars and they are said to be an extremely hard to read animal, along with them being very temperamental and aggressive. They're also solitary animals and generally live and hunt alone. I understand what your trying to say. My issue wasn't with the type of animal Kate became but the whole concept behind that the bite can have multiple outcomes. Mainly because there's no such thing as a "normal person'.  In my mind, and ofcourse this is just how i see it, the concept behind the bite affecting you depending on your personality is flawed because it implies a base. Consider it like if you were doing an experiment.  The people who just become werewolves would be considered your control group. Yet that would imply that all these people had no personality issues or deep seated pain.  The issue is a lot of people even from the best of homes have those things. There's no such thing as a normal personality.  All three of the peoplel Derek bit where basically just as screwed up as jackson. The could all have potentially turned into something else.  At least with Jackson they kind of explained it. I also always felt like Jacksons situation was more of a curse. As soon as he was right with himself it broke and he became a werewolf.  For kate it was just like hey she was a psycho so she became a jaguar. Mind you yes if you read about jaguars in general they will share a lot of kates trait. Except for the need for wanton death. Besides that it was a good animal to turn into. In general I just dont like the bite sometimes reflects what you turn into. I felt it just kind of cheapend the lore of other creatures.
