History:
(Spellbound I#2) - Charlie Brown was a wealthy young man who at some
point became a werewolf that would transform into his lycanthrope form
at night. He once went on a cruise aboard a luxury liner from Europe
back to his home in the United States. Aboard the ship he met Wanda, a
European woman who had recently come into a fortune. They fell in love
and Charlie proposed marriage to her but she was guarded about
accepting his offer, wanting to make sure he was the right man for her.
Back in Forest Hills, Queens, Charlie and Wanda continued to date, enjoying golf, archery, swimming and spending quality time together. However, Wanda noticed they only met during the daytime and wondered why he would not take her out at night. Charlie told Wanda he couldn't explain but to believe that it was because he loved her. Around then, Wanda began to hear whispering about her and Charlie in the neighborhood, wondering why a "nice girl" would be going out with Charlie and that somebody "ought to warn her that there's something wrong with Charlie."
One day at almost 7:00, Charlie realized it would be dark soon and brought his date with Wanda to an end. Leaving Wanda's house, Charlie was followed by Wanda, who hoped to learn his secret. Charlie transformed into a werewolf and assaulted a man, throttling him to death then carrying away his body.
The following day, when it was almost dark and their date nearly over, Wanda confronted Charlie about what she'd seen. Charlie knew this meant she was aware of his true nature and he told her that he must leave her home quickly before he began his transformation. However, Charlie had misjudged his timing and transformed into a werewolf in front of Wanda. Yet at the same time, Wanda likewise transformed into a werewolf. She told Charlie she had to be sure about him because "you have no idea how difficult it is for a girl like me to find an eligible male werewolf!" The two werewolves embraced happily.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Charlie Brown should not be confused with:
Wanda was a young woman from Kisvarra, Hungary. At some point, she became a werewolf. Wanda's father was slain in the woods by a vampire and some years later, her mother was accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. Wanda fled Kisvarra to live in the woods where she met an old man who took pity on her and raised her like a daughter. When he passed away, he left Wanda an immense fortune to spend as she liked. Wanda used her new fortune to sail for the United States aboard a luxury liner, where she met Charlie Brown and quickly fell in love with him. Charlie proposed marriage to her but she gave a guarded response, wanting to first make sure he was the right man for her. After discovering Charlie was a werewolf, Wanda confronted him with that information. As it grew dark, Charlie transformed into his werewolf form but Wanda did likewise, finally sharing her own nature with him. She explained that "you have no idea how difficult it is for a girl like me to find an eligible male werewolf!" The two werewolves embraced happily.
