Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Don't go 'round tonight--
It's bound to take your life!
There's a bad moon on the rise!
My name is Caroline Harrow, and welcome to my world.

 General Information:
Name: Caroline Harrow (pronounced "care-oh-lin")
Aliases: Carol, Ms. Harrow
Gender: Female
Quote: "There were certain teachers who would/ Hurt the children any way they could" --"Happiest Days of Our Lives" by Pink Floyd
Likes: Books, history, reading, teaching, hunting, wolves
Dislikes: Math, lazy students, excuses, too much modernity
About: Caroline Harrow emerged into a middle-class family in a good neighborhood with nice neighbors. She became a werewolf when she was on a camping trip as a kit and struggled for a long time with what it meant. For the most part, she tried to ignore it--pretend it didn't happen. In middle school, she became a close friend to Maria Gallagher, a girl who lived across town from her in the rich part of town. Maria's parents were very strict and insisted that she act like a proper young lady. She had little self-confidence and few friends--Caroline was the only friend her parents let her have, and they only barely approved of her. Eventually they announced that they would be transferring their darling daughter to a private school in another state, nominally because they wanted to prepare her for a private university, but rumor has it it was to get her away from her boyfriend. Mutually heartbroken over the prospect of never seeing each other again, they committed suicide together.
Haunted by her friend's death and convinced that it was the scourge of living up to Standards and modernity in general that had killed her best friend, Caroline decided that she would devote her life--and her curse--to freeing people from societal norms. To her, this meant turning them into werewolves. As a cover, she became a high school teacher. She uses it as a way to scout out students--and teachers--whom she feels need a release from society.
As a teacher, Caroline tries to be interesting. She's figured out by watching as many movies as she could that the werewolf is inevitably either the most evil, or, in more recent movies, the most "innocent" character in the cast. To avoid suspicion, she tries to be wryly humorous in class, be encouraging to students, and, of course, to point out the violence in literature and history. She also likes to point out the "sexy" side of both to students, making jokes about it. In general, she tries to come off as helpful, friendly, and fully aware of what her students are probably thinking about (hint, it rhymes with "hex").

Parents: ??? x ???
Siblings: An older and a younger brother, whom she is out of contact with
Mate: None
Offspring: None
Friends: Xani Lipshipnotki

Caroline's World
Relations
Friends
Xani Lipshipnotki--one of my students. She's a werewolf like me--well, a werewolf because of me, really. She took the transformation well. She's a very good student and a good friend as well.
Enemies
Acquaintances
Ethan Morrison--one of the students whmo I also turned into a werewolf. He seems more skittish lately--I suspect he is not taking the transformation well.
Chloe Reine--the one who got away. Ethan's girlfriend. I need to return to her to turn her, if I can find her again. She seems to be avoiding the outdoors on the full moon.

An Interview with Gl!tch~
(Interviewer’s questions in italics, responses in normal font.)
What is your name?
My name is Caroline Harrow. I’m not married, though, so that’s Ms. Harrow, not “Mrs.” [Gives you a kind smile]
What do you teach?
I teach US History and eleventh and twelfth grade English. [Laughs] I know, I know, strange combination, isn’t it? But I’ve got the training to teach both, and there were [very slight pause] department “cutbacks” a couple years ago, and I was looking for work.
Do you enjoy your work?
Do I enjoy my work…Well, English is a way to express one’s self, isn’t it? And really, literature helps us get inside the heads of the people we read about in history books. I love the work I do.
What do you think of The Survivor?
Chloe’s a lovely student, really…Maybe not the best student in the class, but she’s…well, it’s hard to describe her. I knew a girl like her in high school once—pretty, rich…But that was a long time ago.
What do you think of The Infected?
I know Ethan, but not very well. He’s not in my class. One of my [Another ever so slight pause] “colleagues” was complaining about him the other day. I don’t see why, but like I said, I don’t know the boy. He is Chloe’s boyfriend, though, and she does seem to care for him a lot.
What do you think of The Accomplice?
Xani’s a very nice girl. Wonderful student, always turns in her homework. She needs help, I think—she’s an outcast in high school society, it would seem. I’d love to help her more with her life, if she’d just ask me for it…
Where were you the night of the attack?
Where was I when—Oh! Oh! I was at home grading tests. A-and there was some last-minute scheduling to write up. When the essays need to be written, when the books need to be finished, the book lists, too! And the summer homework. [She smiles and her fur flattens back down] I’m going to like my students this year. Everyone did a wonderful job. Yes, this is going to be a year like no other.
What do you do in your spare time? That is, what are your werewolf habits?
Ah…so this isn’t a regular interview. Is it. You’re one of us. [Leans back and continues in a low, soft voice after she gives a sigh] Habits…well, I do what any of us do, don’t I? We were given a gift. A chance to get in touch with our wild past. Some young’uns these days don’t understand—they think that it’s a free condom and a pouch of lube, but it’s not for getting the pretty girl on the cover of the romance novel. We do what we do so that we may unleash the beast that lurks inside everyone, and free the beast inside! I look at my students and my coworkers, and I think to myself, what a bunch of trained ninnies! They sit around in their pretty, organized world, and they think that this is how it’s supposed to be! Bitching about lazy students, making catty remarks about everyone else’s sex life…nonononono! No, that’s being a tame dog on a choke chain, being beaten by everyone on top who’ve spent every minute of their lives being beaten with that same spiked chain…It’s enough to make you lose your mind! So what I do…is I go to work, and I let myself be beaten, and I take it like a b***h in heat…and once a month, I track down the people who really need it, and I release them. I chew through that chain, and I lift open the latch, and I set them free. And they don’t see it. They think, You’ve trapped me forever in a life as a monster! No. No, sweetie, you don’t understand. I’ve freed you from a life being a monster to other people—chaining them up, beating them up. I set people free. The feeling I get…it’s better than religion, that rapture. And it’s better than any other drug we teach the students to avoid.
Do you enjoy said “hobbies?”
I told you already. [Grins ferally] I love the work I do.
Sorry, there’s something bothering me—you said something about better than the drugs we teach students to avoid…are you saying that teachers shouldn’t teach their students to avoid drugs?
No, I’m not advocating drugs. The “system” is right sometimes. Don’t. Do. Drugs. That only chains you tighter.
How many people have you turned into werewolves since you took this job?
You mean freed? Hm…Ms. Kenner, the school nurse…of course, the former English and History teachers I replaced…they didn’t take it well at all, they’re all running through the woods. They seem to think they’re wolves all the time. [Smiles ruefully] We’re not that lucky.
Will you be coming back to “free” the Survivor?
Yes, I will be coming back for her. She…she startled me when she screamed, that’s all. Yes, she sounds very like someone I used to know. An old friend. But she has to be released. And when the next full moon rolls around, I’ll be coming back from her. Sweetie, I never leave a potential packmate behind.
