Hi there, Elaine! I think that you have a ton of fun potential here, for sure. I do, however, think that it would be a good idea to streamline the logline as it currently feels just a little too wordy to follow clearly.

Also, we don't know what a "Hybrid child" is, so having that spelled out for us would be super helpful, too.

I'll give the Logline another bash and explain that Petra is a Human-Werewolf Hybrid.
