(Gia falls under the "wolfman" variant werewolf. )
Gianna, or most people call her Gia; works as waitstaff at The Den during dayshift.
She lives in a trailer park on the outskirts of the city. Divorced, adult daughter moved out and to the west coast for work. She is a heavy smoker and not afraid to speak her mind. Harsh tone at times but she can't help but look after others.
Gia got bit by what she thought was some crazy addict, but later finds out it was a werewolf after she shifts for the first time. She tries to keep it a secret, eventually gets tracked down by monster hunters.
The Den takes care of the hunters as they themselves were trying to figure out what was happening with werewolves popping up.
They take Gia in and connect her with what can only be described as a cursed werewolf support group. Basically a makeshift pack led by a guy and his partner who are lycanthrope. They take in "strays" and help them manage their shifting and such. Meanwhile, she is employed at The Den as she figures things out.
