Here's a question. How did Ginger hide the changes? I mean, the girl notably had fangs, and liked to grin with them. (Though I noticed she didn't do it with Sam!) Not to mention her nails looked pretty odd. The one thing they did explain was how they hid her tail, or kept it from wagging or poking out. She had to been trying to wag it after having clobbered Trina.
I have a guess. It's mentioned in my fanfiction: The Feral Bond, but I wondered if anyone else might have a theory.

Hmm, interesting question. Spontaneously I think that it helped, that Halloween was in that time. Well, she didn't make any tries to hide it, I mean the hair, the nails and the fangs (you already said, that she liked to grin with them). You also don't hear any comment from the other pupils that they even notice something. Just about Gingers change in behavior and I always thought that this was weird... To explain the hair could be easy, due to approx. every third girl dyes her hair, but not everybody has grey/white highlights so that would fit Ginger and her attitude. The nails and fangs are really tough to explain. There was no nail polish and she didn't fine down her teeth as did B in Unleashed... I don't have something in mind to explain that yet, but I'm still thinking about it ^^

well LH, people already thought they were weird, so they might have seen the fangs and claws and heyes, and just thought of it as them being weird thats one of the only ways it could be done.

Well, in my fanfiction novel, "The Feral Bond," the detective, Lewis, mentions that Ginger was able to pass her fangs and claws off as Halloween costuming, just as she did at the party, in fact. And here I get shameless, for those who probably don't know about it, yet (like 1ginger3): www.fanfiction.net/s/5709622/1/Ginger_Snaps_The_Feral_Bond

shameless subliminal advertising ;D So the Halloween factor did it's good on that. But what if there hadn't been Halloween in that time?

I don't think that would've been an option

I think, and it's in the my fanfic, Ginger would have disappeared. Cut her ties to humanity, wandered away maybe to woods or an abandoned building to live solitary and feed herself by hunting until the full moon and final changes came. Since the changes are gradual, one has to wonder: why isn't it that nobody has noticed werewolves yet? That's one thing you should explain in a sequel. The reason? When the person's bitten, the wounds heal right away, and they go into denial about the attack, never going to a hospital or doctor. As the changes begin, they disappear, wander away alone. Now, Ginger didn't do the latter, and I've got to think that was an exception. These intermediate-stage werewolves do give werewolf stories a whole new dimension.

I wondered about that, too!
I mean, some big hairy dog-like creature which kills it's way through the town should definitely attract attention...
The question is really, do they change back at all?! If so, maybe the people, which realize, that they are werewolfs commit suicide. But a suddendly increased suicide rate would also attract attention. Or they usually kill their victims and not change them. Ginger was an exeption, due to the bus killed the original werewolf, so he can't finish the kill. Also she was a teenage girl, so she acts different than a grown-up. They hide, while Ginger did the complete opposite, because she didn't understand or didn't want to understand. And of course, the attention she suddendly got and development she made.

I wondered about that, too! I mean, some big hairy dog-like creature which kills it's way through the town should definitely attract attention... As far as we know, that was the Beast of Bailey Down's first full moon. Maybe it was hunting in human/semi-human form and had only changed THAT night. The way Baxter had been killed is suggestive. The question is really, do they change back at all?! If so, maybe the people, which realize, that they are werewolfs commit suicide. But a suddendly increased suicide rate would also attract attention. I don't think they change back. In fact, in my fanfiction novel, The Feral Bond, they actually get bigger, tougher and stronger every full moon after they change. Or they usually kill their victims and not change them. Ginger was an exeption, due to the bus killed the original werewolf, so he can't finish the kill. Also she was a teenage girl, so she acts different than a grown-up. They hide, while Ginger did the complete opposite, because she didn't understand or didn't want to understand. And of course, the attention she suddendly got and development she made. For the beast, it was apparent it did not want to kill Ginger immediately. It was either reveling in the smell of blood, trying to inflict more pain on her before eventually killing her, or, the least likely, trying to infect her. I think it's probably the first, since it's desire to attack her was inflamed by the smell of her blood to begin with. They are both so lucky Brigitte's camera shot it. If Brigitte hadn't dazzled it with the flashbulb, there's no way both of them were getting out of there alive, and it also likely was the reason it got hit. I believe, really, the only thing that kept Ginger around was her oath with Brigitte. Really, otherwise, after she's kills Norman and no doubt 100 percent knows what's happening, why not just wander off alone and wait for the changes? By the time she killed Norman, that was three weeks after she was bitten. That would have been the stage where infected people usually wandered off. Another reason why maybe it's undiscovered? Again in my fanfic, for more than 300 years, werewolfism was extinct. It only came back recently. It's also not spread by nearly every bite or attack.
