Hi guys! I've got a new story coming soon! It's an AU story with one of my own characters. This story is completely AU but it features Brittany from Jailbirds. It doesn't follow the Jailbirds storyline so there are no spoilers here. There is however a lot of information to remember so I've created this cheat sheet to help with all the information that's important to the story and also so you guys have a general understanding of what this story is going to be.
Alison:
The Alpha of the pack.
She first experienced the change 3 years ago and was so frightened of what was happening to her that she left Rosewood for two years looking for answers. As the first to go through the change, she becomes the Alpha.
Alison's wolf is the largest, due to her being the Alpha. Her fur colour is white and grey with blue eyes.
When the pack is completely formed, Alison is granted the Alpha's voice, the ability to force her pack to obey her commands, wether they want to or not. However, due to the bond she has with her pack, and the respect they have for each other, she rarely uses it.
Alison is able to read a person's 'aura'. In able to get a sense of who they are. It can be very vague and she finds it works better the better she knows the person. A complete stranger is hard for Alison to read, and she can only really tell their basic nature.
At the beginning of the story, Alison is the only member of the pack who is able to safely control fire. This is due to her ability to tap into her anger, without letting it consume her, something the others are still learning how to do.
Brittany:
Alison's adopted sister.
First met Alison while she was running away from an abusive home life. Alison had left her own home and was searching for answers about her transformation. Alison took care of Brittany, who in turn became her companion as she looked for answers. Due to her close connection to Alison, Brittany underwent the transformation and became the second member to change. She moved in with Alison, and officially changed her name to DiLaurentis.
Brittany's wolf is a dark golden brown colour with blue/green eyes. She has the best hearing in the pack.
When the pack is fully formed, Brittany is given the power to read minds. They have to be within close proximity to her and she hates crowded places like the mall because all the voices can give her a headache.
Her abusive childhood has left her with scars, at times she finds her emotions hard to control and is the easiest to anger.
As a result of her unstable emotions, Brittany will never be able to safely control the fire element. It's extremely dangerous for her even to try. As a result, she's had an Alpha's order placed on her that she is never to even consider trying. She tries to compensate by focusing on the other elements. She is the best in the pack at controlling water.
Brittany acts as Alison's bodyguard, shadowing her sister and protecting her at all costs. This irritates Alison, as Brittany always seems to put Alison's safety before her own, and has had several close calls as a result.
Emily:
Alison's girlfriend and the strongest member of the pack.
She was always emotionally connected to Alison before her lover left and she transformed immediately after coming of age, which compelled Alison and Brittany to return to Rosewood.
Her wolf is russet brown with chocolate eyes. She is physically the strongest in both wolf and human form.
Following the pack's completion, Emily gains the ability to control the emotions of the people around her. She finds it easier to control the emotions of humans as opposed to her sisters because their emotions are more intense and it takes more energy to control.
As the 'Peacekeeper' of the group, Emily's emotions are the most stable, though she can't control her anger the same way Alison can. Alison can harness her anger, Emily shuts it down. She can control fire, but it is weak and unpredictable and she prefers simply not to, favouring the water and wind elements.
Hanna:
Emily's best friend and pack 'Hunter'
She experienced the change while walking along the cliffs of Rosewood heights, a popular walking spot, and fell into the lake. Alison pulled her out and Hanna immediately joined the pack.
Her wolf is blonde with blue eyes. She has the best sense of smell and often leads the way when tracking and hunting.
She's the best in the pack at handling the wind element.
Hanna has the ability to make anyone like her instantly, it works better with males than females. She never used it with her boyfriend, wanting him to love her naturally.
Spencer:
Alison's cousin.
Her transformation happened after a drug overdose nearly killed her. Her body underwent the transformation in order to burn off the drugs to save her life. Due to her genetic link to the Alpha, however, she would have likely witnessed the change anyway, it just happened earlier than expected.
Her wolf is jet black with hazel eyes. She has the best sense of sight.
Spencer has the ability to make herself invisible to her targets. It is only an illusion however, she can only make them not able to see her in their minds while she is still there physically. She is the stealth expert of the pack. Able to silently sneak up on her enemies. However it takes a lot of energy to make herself invisible, and doing it for too long could cause her to pass out from exhaustion.
She's the smartest of the group and has a burning desire to know everything about what they are.
Spencer is most comfortable with the element of earth. She has been known to use fire, but in more of a lava way than actual flame, making the risk slightly less as it's not true fire.
Aria:
Spencer's best friend and the newest member of the pack.
Her transformation occurred the day she returned to Rosewood from living overseas for a year. When she joined, the pack was completed and all were given their gifts.
Aria's wolf is black and grey with green eyes. She is the smallest, both wolf and human, but she's also the fastest.
Aria can create illusions in people's minds. She can make them see whatever she wants them to see. She has to make physical contact with a person in order to do it. Her sisters in the pack are immune to it however, for reasons that nobody has yet been able to work out.
Unlike the others, Aria has no favoured element. She has focused her time on all elements equally, and is very skilled in wind, water and earth. She finds fire difficult, and it is unsafe for her to use it still, but she is at less risk than the rest of the pack.
Aria's water control is better than Spencer, Hanna or Alison; but is behind Emily and Brittany.
Her wind control is beaten only by Hanna, but equal with Emily.
Spencer is the only member of the pack who is better at controlling earth.

The Pack:
The only official rank in the pack is Alpha, held by Alison. While other packs tend to have a more structured hierarchy, she chose not to, seeing them all as equals. However Emily is considered the 'unofficial beta' by the others, not just due to her relationship with Alison but also because of her role as the pack's 'Peacekeeper'.
In their human form, they are all extremely strong, able to lift up to a tonne with ease. Emily is able to lift 1.2 tonnes, giving her the advantage. Their wolf forms are just as strong, if not more. However, Emily still holds the edge.
They can run up to 80mph in their human forms, their wolves can double that. Aria is able to do 95mph in her human form and her wolf can double her human speed.
Their body temperature adapts to the climate they are in. It will keep them warm in the cold and cool in the heat but also stop them from overheating.
They are immune to disease and illness, their body heat will adapt to burn off any substances that enter their bloodstream.
Minor injuries will heal in a matter of minutes, while severe injuries like broken bones only take a few days to heal.
They can go up to 7 days without sleep without experiencing fatigue.
In their wolf forms, they can hear each others thoughts. However in their human forms they can only communicate telepathically over a very short distance, and only thoughts they want the others to hear. It is similar to speaking aloud. The only exception is Brittany, who is able to hear anybody's thoughts, not just her sister's. However in order to give her pack mates some privacy, she has learned to shut them out in their human forms.
They each wear the pack's mark, a black background with the white outline of a wolf's face, while in their human forms. Alison has a pendent, Brittany wears it on a wrist cuff, Hanna has a ring, Spencer and Aria wear it on a bracelet and Emily on an anklet.
All of their wolves are significantly larger than any normal wolf.
