So, part of Camila Delarosa's backstory is that she was changed into a were-jaguar by a stalker and then was welcomed into the werecat clan after they kicked said stalker out for doing it. Camila just adores her adoptive clan and spending time with them, so I'd love to have some other members running around. The clan consists of multiple families, but they all have the same version of the were-shifter 'curse,' detailed under the powers notes.
Slots are unlimited. No species of feline has a limited number, either, but variety among the members would make me very happy.

-This type of were-shifter has an increased lifespan, but isn't ageless. They remain in a twenties-ish state until they turn about one hundred, and can live to be around two hundred.
-They are subject to Lunacy, which can be described as the voice of reason and inhibitions of the werecat in question deciding to skip town and get wasted together. They get impulsive, aggressive, sometimes amorous, and are prone to restlessness and occasionally insomnia. This starts a few days before the full moon, and grows steadily worse until the night of.
-Can be born from two werecat parents, or a werecat parent and a human parent. They can also transform full-blooded humans into werecats, destroying all/most of their magic powers (if any) in the process. The process of transformation requires giving the human a Mark (scar, tattoo, brand, whatever) on the night of the full moon with conscious intent to transform them. This Mark then can never be removed, though it can still be covered up with glamours.
-Each werecat can shift into a single non-extinct, non-domestic feline. There is no half-way form, and the feline form is indistinguishable from the real thing. The human form of the werecat has sharp eye teeth and bright yellow eyes, but no other visibly feline traits. Clothes do not shift with them, but anything that requires piercings will retain the holes for it if it's in during the shift. A transformed werecat's Mark is visible in this form as well. The species of the parents, or transformer, has no affect on an individual's own species.

-Werecats transformed by clan members are automatically offered membership. They are usually considered to be either the transformer's sibling or child, depending on age, unless there is a romantic relationship involved or other unusual circumstances. Actual legal adoption is rarely involved, but can be.
-Transforming a human without their consent is a massive taboo, treated with similar severity to sexual assault. Offenders are instantly disowned upon the discovery of the crime, without exception. The victim is still offered a place within the clan, and the family of the assailant will often assist the victim in any way they are permitted to even if they refuse membership.
-The clan is very comfortable with nudity, and members will tend to walk around without clothes, or with minimal clothes, when society and weather permits.
-Due the lack of fear of discovery on Manta Carlos, on full moon nights, members will frequently gather in the forest, strip off their clothing, shift into feline form, and run through the woods together. This is a way of safely indulging the call of their inner animal to help keep their Lunacy from overwhelming them. Members may break off from the group to attempt to hunt, or engage in other activities better suited to small groups, but they rarely stray far. With the range of species involved, it makes for quite the sight.
