The series continues with volume 2 introducing a few more characters, most notably when Victoria brings a new werewolf home, causing Winona to face part of her traumatic past and finding closure. Later, a newly-turned vampire shows up on the Barlowe’s doorstep looking for refuge. Perhaps hoping to run from a history hot on their heels.

Winona ‘Winny’ Barlowe (she/her) is a newly turned werewolf who has taken her trauma of being turned and funnelled this energy into her werewolf shelter she runs with her work-partner and long time friend, Odile. While she is a very tough and stubborn sort, she cares deeply about the safety of those around her and will fight tooth and nail for fairness and equal treatment of all werewolves.

Emerson ‘Em’ Pines (she/her) is the werewolf who accidentally turned Winny. She’s been on the run since she was turned at a young age, looking for someone… but who? Em is a huge sweetheart and will gladly help out anywhere she thinks needs a strong set of hands. Though she is large and beefy, she has a massive soft side and would much prefer to talk things through than use force.

Odile Brady (they/them) is a werewolf with a few more years of experience on Winny. They had a bit of a traumatic turn and grew close to Persis who walked them through their werewolf changes. Now they are the resident goofball with a great interest in the mysteries and goings on in Merlot. Odile will gladly sip any and all tea offered their way.

…

Victoria ‘Vic’ Darling (she/her) is a very well seasoned vampire with a love for life and all those within it. She’s a trans woman with nothing but love in her heart and a massive fondness for women of any shape and size. She’s a flighty sort, veering towards a very positive outlook on life though she has witnessed her fair share of tragedy, and will very gladly sit and listen to anyone who needs a shoulder to cry on.
