She has never been able to live openly as her wolf-self, but when she signs her NXT contract, it's right there in black and white: undersigned supernatural or supernatural-adjacent talent with Delta-level powers agrees not to use said powers in a match unless opponent is also of Delta-class origin.
And the PC is everything she has been promised; she runs with Ember's pack (Ember, Damian, Lacey, and Joaquin, and they'd welcomed Shotzi in with pack piles and a breathless moonlight chase), she feels the skin-prick of Candice's poisoned-charm words, she learns to guard herself against the Era's mind-manipulation, and she even meets an Elder - Balor has been bruised and battered, but he still peers out from behind the Prince's eyes.
Her howls are now met with cheers from the audience instead of whispers and stares, and she's never felt more alive.
