The female versions wear a black crop top, ripped dark gray jeans, a blue leather jacket, and a double-strand gold pendant necklace.

The male versions also wear a blue leather jacket and ripped gray jeans, but with a black button-up shirt and a gold curb chain necklace.

Channing's height is determined by his/her gender and your character's body type. If Channing is female, she has inches of height on you (Body Type 1) or is slightly shorter than you (Body Type 2). If Channing is male, he has a full foot of height on you (Body Type 1) or has inches of height on you (Body Type 2).

In wolf form, Channing is described as having red and black fur and likely has a similar stature to the other werewolves, standing at least four feet tall at the shoulder.

Personality

In Chapter 1, you describe him/her as bossy if you decline the premium outfit. Lupe says she/he is super charismatic. If you call him/her scary, Lupe will reply she/he has just a strong personality and Asher adds that Channing cares about them which makes him/her such a great [alpha]. Channing describes him-/herself as patient and shows a high level of confidence when stating "I know you'll come to me eventually." You describe him/her as seductive predator. Before having to give a speech, he/she tells you that he/she is not charming to which you reply he/she can be assertive instead.

Background

Channing doesn't remember his/her parents as they died when Channing was still a kid. His/Her mother, who she/he was told to have been strong, fierce, and brave and hence "everything an alpha should be", got reckless, giving in into her feelings. Then her (soul)mate, Channing's father, died which made her go feral and she had to be put down. Channing, as a result, tries at all costs to avoid suffering from the same fate, stating that his/her mother "turned into a monster because she made the mistake of falling in love."

Relationships

Your Character

Channing is the leader of the frat you considered joining prior to the start of the story and your love interest. You two first meet in the woods at night without knowing who she/he is. Afterwards, she/he brings you home and later sends you an outfit together with the invitation to the initiation.

Powers and Abilities

Shapeshifting: Channing can intentionally or accidentally transform into a wolf at any time.
Superhuman Speed: In Chapter 1, Kala throws a ping pong ball at you with inhuman speed and you catch it just as easily. Markus also comments on your own superhuman reflexes. Given that both Kala and you are still pledges with only latent wolf powers at the time, it can be assumed that wolves are just as fast or even faster.
Superhuman Healing: Channing states that she/he is able to heal faster than humans after being wounded during the brawl.
(Pack) Telepathy: Channing and the rest of the pack use pack telepathy to communicate, especially while they're in wolf form. It only goes both ways if both want to share their thoughts with each other. You and Channing also use Soulmate telepathy where you can hear his/her thoughts all the time and she/he can hear yours even when you don't want to project yours.
Cold Immunity/Body Warmth: Werewolf blood runs hot which is why they usually spar naked. If werewolves wear underwear or normal clothes, it's out of courtesy. In Chapter 10, you have to wear warm clothes for the summit or you will freeze if you decline them. Channing and all other wolves are more protected against the cold by their werewolf blood.
Scent Tracking: Werewolves can track the scent of various animals or humans.
Lucid Dreaming: Werewolves can lucid dream and see the future in their dreams. If a werewolf lucid dreams, they can control how the dream unfolds, and there are no rules and limitations that forbid them from acting on their desires.
Dream Walking: Werewolves can dreamwalk into the minds of other werewolves.

Weaknesses

Silver and wolfsbane: Both can be lethal to werewolves.
Feral: Each wolf has a risk of going feral. This means they lose their humanity and turn into a beast that needs to be put down as they would be a danger to themselves and others.
Smoke bomb: In Chapter 12, Channing tells you that the Hunter's smoke bomb ruined his/her sense of smell so she/he doesn't know where you are going.
Ultrasonic Whistle: In Chapter 19, Markus uses an ultrasonic whistle to put you in a state of confusion and pain and Channing told you that if you didn't change from your wolf body to your human body you would go deaf.
