Other Notes
 She-Wolf is basically an animal with the ability to walk, talk, and somewhat pass for human. She seduces men with lies, mates with them, and kills them. In doing so, she provides herself with offspring, although it does not say that she eats her prey as well.
She hunts with three main traits. Both her gaze and her bite cause fear in her victims that renders them helpless. She also has a poisonous kiss, although it is not clear that the venom is lethal; it may also merely cause paralysis.
Should all this fail, she has learned some spells from her friend, an enchantress (yes, all these other people could also be aspects of her, but then she'd be a wolf AND a priestess AND an enchantress-- and isn't that a bit much? Also, this way, we create more characters!).
However, her pet lioness has the ability to free the She-Wolf's victims from her fear-inducements. But one must be willing to let the lion work its magic (see Pets, above), which means surrendering what's left of one's will to a fearsome predator.
