Short Bio: Irene-Strangely is one of the foremost werewolf scholars in the world. Her research includes how lycanthropy intersects with the personal, social, and political lives of werewolves, and is an active advocate for werewolf well-being and equity. Some say she is ahead of her time in treating lycanthropy as a blameless curse, and that the danger werewolves pose is a symptom of an intolerant society - the curse itself a curse of culture rather than the individual.
Sometime around 2009, after research and consideration, she reversed her position on werewolf registration from supporting the mandatory program to advocating for its abolishment.

Notable Quotations =
If there was one small mercy in the Werewolves's Curse, it was the loss of one's mind. For the full moon, the body misplaces sense and seeing and the Curse did the driving, in all its blinded savagery. [12]
