I've been really into stories about supernatural beings (werewolves, fairies, dragons, etc.) and I really wish all that stuff was real. I would totally be a werecat. A tiny ginger tabby kitten. And I'd hang out with werewolves or dragons that could probably crush me, but they're good people and don't. I mean, who wouldn't see a kitten and think "I have to use my heightened strength to protect that"?
Also, I like the idea of being a creature with a personality that goes against stereotypes and catching others by surprise.
