Angua

AnguaDelphine Angua von Überwald is a member of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. She is a werewolf, but keeps that part of here nature a secret from most people.

All Angua's family are werewolves. She is the daughter of a Baron and Baroness of Überwald, and has two brothers, Wolfgang and Andrei, as well as a deceased sister, Elsa.

Both Andrei and Elsa were "Yennorks", werewolves that are stuck in one form. Her brother Wolfgang was commonly perceived as a psychopath. She left Überwald when she decided that killing and eating people was not her lifestyle. She joined the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, where she met Corporal Carrot Ironfoundersson. They shortly after fell in love.

Soon after, Cheery Littlebottom the dwarf joined the Watch, and it turned out that "he" was a she. At the same time, Angua was debating whether to return to Überwald. She was upset that Cheery, unaware that Angua was a werewolf, believed that all werewolves were monsters. Angua helped Cheery reveal her feminine side, giving her dresses and make-up. Eventually, Angua decided to stay in Ankh-Morpork.

AnguaOn a special occasion Vimes (her boss) has to go to Überwald as an ambassador, and Angua is part of his chosen crew. But she had run away beforehand, going to Überwald as well on business of her own. Carrot pursued her, assisted by Gaspode the dog. After a struggle with Wolfgang, that left Carrot injured, she decided to return to the city.

She has helped with the war effort in Borogravia, isa hard for criminlas to avoid and was once a competitor to Sally, a vampire who joind the City Watch also.

Angua is an extremely practical and level-headed person. While not as cynical as Commander Samuel Vimes, she balances out Carrot's naïveté. Occasionally she wonders if he's really as innocent as he appears, or if more is going on beneath the surface.

In human form she is a strict vegetarian. In wolf form, she has a tendency to go after chickens, but always pays for them afterwards, because animals wouldn't.
