BINTULU: Despite a challenging first day, five-year-old Missclyen Roland, living with the rare ­werewolf syndrome, is slowly ­settling into her new school environment. The girl received mixed reactions from 24 classmates when she attended preschool for the first time on Monday at SK Sungai Tisang. Speaking to The Star, her father Roland Jimbai said things had improved after several of Miss­clyen’s classmates began mingling with and befriending her on the second day of school. “She sees her siblings going to school and that makes her want to go too,” Roland said, adding that two of Missclyen’s siblings are in the same primary school. Medically known as hypertri­chosis, werewolf syndrome is an extremely rare condition characterised by excessive hair growth.
