Originally said this in the comments but eh. I need to rework it because it wont work in tags I don’t think so.
In context to me, there are two forms of werewolf’s, one like the twilight werewolves, and then a human like one that stand on its hind legs. Now one that is just like a twilight wolf if they ate a human and slowly turned human while eating it really depends. Because to me that’s a full werewolf, they look like a wolf, thus even in human they’d be more wolf like. They don’t really care about humans imo. Where one that stands on its hind legs is far more human and it would hit their consciousness hard if they slowly turned human while eating. But in hind leg werewolf form and they eat a human fully that’s cannibalism, because again they are more human looking and thinking. Where if a wolf werewolf did it, it would not be because more than anything they are a wolf.
It all depends on how the werewolf was brought up, if they were turned or if they were born like a werewolf. We also need to take in the fact of, where they born in werewolf form and then later in life where able to turn human or where they born human and then could turn into a werewolf later. Does the werewolf view themselves as human, as a monster or as an animal? It all depends on mindset
this is kind of a general question but i made it with one specific werewolf in mind. she was born as a human but was always a werewolf it just didn’t start presenting until later in life really. she doesn’t really have a clear perception of herself at all
