There are, by now, few people in Ankh-Morpork who do not know the rumour that there is a werewolf in the city watch. Rather fewer is the number that suspect the werewolf is in fact sergeant Angua. As a human Angua is tall with masses of ash blonde hair and a well.. her breastplate had to be fairly well beaten out to fit her. She remains a strict vegeterian when human shaped and is meticulous about cleanliness, all counter measures against the wolf in her taking control. As a wolf she is almost indistinguishable from any other large wolf, but has a blonde coat and a mane to match her human locks. However, while to a human she can pass as normal, she can never pass for wolf among real wolves. She smells wrong and humans are not the only ones with a predjudice against werewolves. Angua comes from the town of Bonk (pronounced Beyonk) in Uberwald, where her family is one of the ruling noble families. Her entire family are werewolves and not nice people at all. Her brother Wolfgang was as complete and oposite to her as is possible. Angua was originally recruited as part of an affirmative action hiring procdure, intended to get more ethnic minorities into the city watch. Of course, most people thought it was because she was a woman. The advantage of her exceptional nose and tracking abilities has dissapaited somewhat as the rumour has spread. The criminal fraternity of Ankh-Morpork is quick to adapt and a bomb containing peppermint oil or aniseed or something similarly smelly has become as essential a law-breaking tool as the crowbar and lock picks. She is now a sergeant and pretty much number 3 in the watch hierachy. Angua is in an often ambiguous romantic relationship with Carrot, the captain of the watch. She finds the strains of a relationship with a human (a human who was brought up as a dwarf even) difficult to deal with much of the time, but has so far talked herself out of leaving him. Their future is uncertain, with the question of just what do a human and werewolf's kids turn out as hanging over them, along with Carrot's widely rumoured heirdom to the currently redundant throne of Ankh. Angua is a central character in Men at Arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo, The Fifth Elephant and Thud! and makes cameo appearances in The Truth, Monstrous Regiment and Going Postal.
