^^ I said almost the same. There are a few differences. That's probably why they introduced her as a different creature. They needed Malia to be in the woods for years as an animal. A werewolf child wouldn't be capable of that since it takes evolution to turn into a an actual wolf.

From what we've seen, Malia's connection to Scott is no different than Liam, Hayden and Isaac's connection to Scott. She's his Beta in the same sense that they are. If his roar at Eichen house had the same effect on Malia as it did on Liam, why is it so hard to believe that she could become an Alpha by killing an alpha werewolf? I'm not sure if all of this post is in response to mine, becuase it seems like we agree on most of it. Though, I wouldn't say there are many differences between the werejaguars and the werewolves. It seems that werejaguars have a special connection to berserkers. Yes, their appearances are different but that's trivial. Hayden said that she's faster than Liam. It could be because she's part jaguar or maybe she's naturally faster than him, like how Scott was faster than Boyd and Boyd stronger than Scott in S2 even though they were both werewolves. Other than that, they seem to be the same. That's not "plenty", IMO.

Oh, also, Malia turned into a coyote due to shock, not will. She didn't know how to turn back to human and Scott had to force her back. After that, she joined Scott's pack so he could teach her how to control her powers. So she clearly didn't understand her power at that point, so it seems like a fluke -- a fluke that I assume a werewolf child could also do in a situation of such shock.
