Answer 1

okay ...weird...but I'll run with it.

First of all, your friend is a little off, maybe a bit bent as in deviant and not the straight line of the road.  If she seriously believes this, she should really see a doctor about it.  She'll get better help in the long run.

popular myths about vampires are mostly derived from Bram Stoker.  H wrote Dracula and combined a lot of other myths into one gigantic one, that everyone has begun to accept into memory.

Vampires-

are dead but living and termed as undead

fear crosses or other symbols of strong forms of belief

repulsed by garlic (it is a healing herb)

not accepted into everafter afterlife by the religion of choice

have affinity with bats, snakes, wolves, ghosts, gypsies

have pointed ears

drink blood to survive

have demonic access to magics

Werewolves-

human incarnations of the wolf

have a unibrow

have hefty sideburns

have hairy backs and forearms

tribalize themselves into packs

eat raw meat

have an afinity for nature

-or-

have a hatred for nature

the idea that a werewolf opposses a vampire is quite prevalent in mythos of this century, demonizing the vampire and making the werewolf heroic.  Before they were both monsters that preyed on the people at night.

The concept of a hybrid vamp/wolf would never have come about if it were not for the WoD universe.  And I am sorry to say that many people have taken the words of the books to heart as their indoctrination.  You read the Book of Nod and buy your 10 10-sided dice and poof they are automatically a vampire because it is cool and they feel accepted because of their oddities.

In order to become a hybrid, one would have need to have contacted the werewolf virus first.  As the werewolf is a living creature.  Then bitten by the vampire as the vampire is a dead creature.  To do it the other way around....would just end up in a vampire being attacked by a wolfie.

Wanna' cure her of her fear of being both?  Swat her upside the head with a silver cross and see if she gets a sudden case of the oopsies and turns to dust or see if her veins explode.  If neither of things happen, then your friend needs to grow up and stop trying to live in the fantasy world.

Answer 2

The term "hybrid" is used in the real vampire subculture to mean a living, mortal vampire who feeds both as a psychic vampire (on prana/chi/auric energy) and as a sanguinarian (on blood).

A person who feels they are wolf in spirit would be a wolf-therian.

It's possible for a wolf-therian to also have vampiric tendencies or for a vampire to feel like they have a wolf totem spirit.

We don't use the term "hybrid" in these situations. Therianthropy or otherkin-ness refers to the type of soul someone feels they have. Energy or sanguinarian vampirism refers to their need to feed on vital energy or blood. These are separate issues.

More than likely, posting signs of what to look for in a real vampire or therian will just make people think they are one when they really aren't one. It's better to list the supposed "symptoms" your friend has and then see what the real vamps and otherkin say about it.

Email me if you'd like links to real vampire, therianthropy or otherkin websites.

Answer 3

Oh, that's gotta be hard for you to see your friend feeling that way. :(  I hope she feels better soon.  

If she suffers from Lycanthropy (the belief that one is a wolf or were-wolf) she will probably need to see a doctor who is trained to help in these situations.  Has she been under any extreme duress lately?  Has she always had a fascination with vampires and wolves?  These are probably questions that a doctor would ask.  If you friend won't see a doctor on her own maybe you could talk to her parents about it?  If this has been going on for a while it may be very difficult for you to help her (and it's probably not easy for you to be the only one she can depend on- Lycanthropy is a serious disease that can be psychologically harmful).  I hope she gets better soon, and best of luck!  :)  I'm rooting for your friend!

(P.S. -At the risk of sounding corny, right now you're doing the best thing you can by being a good friend who believes in her. :).

Answer 4

Persephone is correct with what they are saying and anything I say would just be repeating them. I think it would help more if you list the symptoms they are experiencing. Hybrid refers to a vampire that is both sanguinarian and psychic vampire not someone that is a mix of therian and vampire. I know a lot of information on real vampires but I have limited knowledge of therians. It is rare but possible to have a therian with vampiric tendencies or a vampire that has a animal totem (being wolf or other).

I realize this post may not have been very helpful but if you wish to know more from me I would be more then happy to help just email me.
