So to most of the people around her, she's "Weird Not Otherwise Specified." She was also misdiagnosed with sociopathy at one point.

* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Therianthropes have to obey the conservation of mass, which means that adult wererats are closer in size to capybaras, and most werebears are a bit small by ursine standards. They can only take mammalian forms - no wereswans. Some strains can be transmitted through body fluids (saliva-to-blood or blood transfusion), some are inherited, and inherited therianthropy is usually not contagious. It is possible for most therianthropes to control their shapechanging to an extent, but the change is hardest to resist during the full moon. Shapeshifting changes a werebeast's sensory and emotional reactions, but they retain a decent proportion of their memories and intellect and are very seldom mindlessly aggressive. There are also "mezzalunas," generally of werebeast and baseline-human ancestry, who are always in human form but have some therianthropic traits. A rarer variation are werebeasts whose physical default form is their animal form (although they're genetically human - for the most part - and possess human intelligence.)

[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/26387 A Study In Moonlight]] is a {{Slice Of Life}}[=/=]{{Urban Fantasy}}[=/=]Mystery series strongly inspired by Franchise/SherlockHolmes. It takes place in the same universe as Literature/DestructiveHarmonics and DarthWiki/{{Helix}} but concerns different characters and different aspects of the world.
The main characters are Viviane Malifaux, a BunnyEarsLawyer consulting detective, and Marcella Argento, a relatively normal woman (apart from being half werewolf), who is the stories' major narrator as well as Viviane's best friend, professional associate, and occasional [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder genius-sitter]]. Like the other stories in this universe, [=ASiM=] is set in the Pacific Northwest and contains MundaneFantastic elements, specifically therianthropy.
! ''A Study in Moonlight'' contains examples of:
* AmbiguousDisorder: Zigzagged. Viviane does have an actual diagnosis (Asperger's Syndrome), but she's very private about it, and even people in the mental health field often don't know what to make of her. So to most of the people around her, she's "Weird Not Otherwise Specified." She was also misdiagnosed with sociopathy at one point.
