Wereswans for We Die Young and What Shadows Hide

I thought it would be fun to create a new character option for What Shadows Hide and We Die Young. This was inspired by the legend of the Swan Maiden, the swanmanes of the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series, and D&D's swanmaes. I would say it was also inspired by Black Swan (which you would assume by my image choices), but I haven't watched that film yet. Actually creating this post has inspired me to go watch it. Hell, I believe it's considered a horror movie, so I might make it a part of the October Horror Movie Challenge.

Also stylistically I'm not a fan of "were-" and just prefer to remove the hyphen and make it one word so that's what you'll see below.

Wereswans 

Like other werebeasts, wereswans carry an ancient curse. Unlike traditional werebeasts, this curse is tied to bloodlines and the fae, meaning it cannot be passed intentionally to mortals. Because of this their numbers are much lower than other werebeasts. In general, wereswans are distrusting of most predatory werebeasts. Despite the fae origin of their curse, they tend to be on good terms with faeries and twitter fey. Their blood is considered exquisite by vampires, which also leads to distrust between the two peoples.

Wereswans tend to be lithe and beautiful. Once they reach a certain age their hair is replaced by extremely fine feathers.  

In every generation a Swan King is born (identified by a swan-shaped birthmark). It is the king's duty to travel the world to protect and better the lives of their people. A Swan Queen is also been each generation and destined to mate with the King and share in their duties.
