Stella stood before hir mirror, admiring hir werehyena form. It was lucky that hir parents were already in bed, or shi would never have risked this indulgence. Shi stared lovingly at hir long, beefy penis. Hir penis! How good it felt to finally be able to say shi had the genitals shi'd wanted for so long! Shi fondled hir new package, thrilling at its weight in hir cupped fingers.
Stella shifted back into her human form. Being in the closet a both non-binary and primarily attracted to females, she'd really neglected this part of her identity. She resolved to come out of the closet as soon as her parents had finished transferring the $900,000 to her personal bank account. She studied her reflection for ideas.
Stella looked critically at the long blonde hair that flowed down to her butt in the mirror. It looked much too feminine for her; it had to go. Even if Stella couldn't come out yet, she could still start making changes to how she presented herself. Gone was Stella Bentley the hyperfemme tyrant queen of Stokerville High. Here to stay was Stella Bently the good-hearted badass. Stella grabbed a pair of scissors from her dresser and held it to her hair. Snipping away, Stella cut her hair to ear length. Watching clumps of her feminine locks fall away was a liberating experience; Stella hadn't felt so alive since she'd fuck Ashlee and Zoey with the Ring of Embraces.
Stella admired her new reflection. Much better! She ran a hand through her short crop, loving the feeling. She'd dye her newly short hair purple sometime in the future; this was enough to please her for now.
Stella's mind turned to pronouns. She needed to use 'she' in public and 'shi' as a werehyena, but what about when alone with her pack in her human form? What did she want them to call her? 'She?' 'They?' 'Ze?' 'Xe?' Certainly not 'he!' Then it hit her. Why use separate pronouns for each from? Shi was a non-binary werehyena, so shi would always be a shi! End of discussion.
Then there was the matter of hir name. Stella had never felt comfortable with it; it sounded much too feminine. Time to shed hir deadname and pick a new label for hirself, even if it was just for hir and hir friends. Shi could always legally adopt it as an adult. Hmm, Stella liked the meaning of hir deadname well enough, just not the sound. What name would sound gender-neutral and still convey the essence of 'Stella?' 'Star?' 'Sunny?' 'Sky?' 'Skyler?' Ooh, that was a good one! Skyler... yes... that was it... Skyler Bentley, non-binary werehyena. That was hir, alright! Skyler smiled to hir short-haired reflection. At last shi knew who shi was!
