Another theme is friendship. The female wolf usually forms strong friendships with some of the characters from Harry Potter. These friendships help her navigate through the complex world of magic. It could be a friendship with Harry himself, or Hermione, or Ron. They support each other through various challenges.
Power and identity are also common themes. The female wolf has her own set of powers which are different from magic. She has to figure out how to use her powers in this new world while also maintaining her own identity. In some fanfictions, she even discovers new aspects of her identity while in Hogwarts.
One common theme is the exploration of characters' hidden depths. In Harry Potter fanfiction, we often see more about the inner thoughts and feelings of minor characters like Neville Longbottom. In Wolf Rain fanfiction, it could be about the wolves' individual pasts. Another theme is the idea of a journey, whether it's Harry's journey to defeat Voldemort in a new way in Potter fanfic or the wolves' journey in Wolf Rain fanfic. And of course, there's often a theme of friendship or loyalty in both types of fanfiction.
One common theme is self - discovery. When Harry is a lone wolf, he often has to look deep within himself to find his true strength. For example, in many fanfics, he discovers new magical abilities that he didn't know he had.
A theme that is quite prevalent is the idea of belonging. The oc, who is an outsider in the world of Harry Potter at first, finds a sense of belonging with female Harry and her friends. Also, the theme of sacrifice can be seen. Sometimes, either the oc or female Harry has to sacrifice something for the sake of their relationship or the greater good in the wizarding world.
One common theme is identity. Since it's a female version of Harry, she often has to figure out who she is in a world that had certain expectations of the male Harry. Another theme is friendship, just like in the original series but with different nuances because of her gender.
One common theme is the exploration of mortality. Given the presence of Death in a female form, it often makes the characters, especially Harry, reflect on the concept of life and death more deeply. Another theme is the power dynamic. The female Death figure usually has a great deal of power, and how Harry interacts with her in terms of power - whether he submits, rebels, or tries to find a balance, is often explored.
One common theme is the exploration of the unknown. Since female creatures often have their own unique cultures and magic in the Harry Potter world, fanfictions explore how Harry discovers and adapts to these new elements. For example, if it's a Veela, there's the allure and the different set of magic they possess.
Common themes also include self - discovery for both Harry and the female monster. For Harry, being with a female monster makes him re - evaluate his own beliefs about what is 'normal' in the wizarding world. For the female monster, her relationship with Harry might expose her to new ways of thinking and living. Additionally, there's often a theme of mystery. The female monster's origin, her true nature, and her abilities are often shrouded in mystery at the start of the story, and as the plot unfolds, these mysteries are gradually uncovered, adding an element of suspense to the fanfiction.
Power and its implications is also a frequent theme. X23 has her mutant powers, and in the Harry Potter world, there is magic power. Fanfictions may explore how these different forms of power are perceived, how they can be used for good or bad, and how the characters with these powers are treated by society. For example, X23's powers might be seen as dark magic in the wizarding world at first, and the story could be about how she proves that she is not a threat but an ally.
One common theme could be the exploration of a unique relationship between the wolf - like Harry and the female character. There might also be themes of adventure as they navigate their world together.
A theme that frequently shows up is the exploration of identity. With female Harry Potter being a different take on the original character, she is often on a journey of self - discovery, and Sirius plays a role in that. Also, the theme of family is important. Sirius can be seen as a sort of surrogate family member, and the fanfiction might explore how that relationship changes into a romantic one.
