Some people need to not jump to conclusions:
- we still don't know what happened to Yoitsu. Even if we accept a giant bear destroyed the town at some point in the past, we don't know the extent of the destruction. We can't know from mere "legends", which are likely to be deformed and/or exaggerated.
- Horo isn't the last of her kind. She met another pack in S1, remember?
- She may be the last of her own pack... but the truth is, we don't know if her packmates were even there when Yoitsu was attacked. Even if they were, they may have survived. Killing a bunch of giant wolves is easier said than done, even for a giant bear.
Indeed they are many exception to this rule. Some are immortal but do not have the special powers. Others gain the powers the immortality without the inconveniences, like Blade has all of the Vampire traits minus the weakness to light. However 90% of the time the kids have the some or most ofve the powers and are mortal. I am intrigued to see what rule will apply here but do not want to have it revealed. I'm just saying if it's the general rule that applies then it will only make Horo worst.
