Male, undoubtedly

Even while in Wolf form, you are definitely a male; you have heard of other werewolves who has changed genders when they transformed, but you are always male. In the nearby town, you wait until the moon gets almost full and that's when you set out towards the tower of Princess Ruby who is said to like the colour so much that when she was a young girl, she had the tower painted red.

You are wanting to not attract attention to any Werewolf activity; this is why a month ago, you were clear across the continent during your transformation cycle drawing all attention there. Now that the zealots who are out for your head are not a problem, it is time to face the encounter that will decide everything.
