Kinfolk

Only about 1 in 10 children born to a were-animal parent actually become a were-animal. The rest spend their lives as ‘regular’ humans. They are immune to Delirium and are mates to shifters because of their increased chance of breeding full shifters. Some have gifts as well, while others may never manifest anything at all. Kinfolk are valuable to were-animals, though their treatment varies by Tribe, making Kinfolk allies or enemies. A Kinfolk with gifts will never shift into full were-creatures. However, there are also Kinfolk with no gifts. Some of those end up going through a first change.

Some don't have gifts, never shift, but are still related to a shifter. It can be hard to get recognized as family without gifts or shifting.

Each tribe has different views on what it means to be a kinfolk.
