Ester Timothy
Ester Timothy was a werewolf born to Cain Timothy and Elizabeth Timothy in 660 BC in Mordent. Her litter mates were Eowin Timothy and Sean Timothy. She married Richtor Dilisnya who was not a werewolf. As part of a litter of three, she gave birth to the werewolf Virginia Dilisnya in 682 BC. She gave birth to the werewolf Clifford Ratcliff in 687 BC. She was the grandmother of Clifford Ratcliff and Winifred Ratcliff, the aunt of Irene Timothy and Nathan Timothy, and the great aunt of Alfred Timothy, Ester Timothy (daughter of Nathan), William Timothy and Thomas Dobbs, Her husband was among those poisoned to death by his sister, Camille Dilisnya, in 698 BC. Ester died in 707 BC, survived by both Clifford and Virginia. 
Eowin, Ester and Sean were named after the members of a famous litter from the prior century.
Continuity Problem
The Bloodlines family tree for the Timothy Family in Realm of Terror gives 660 BC as the birth date for Eowin Timothy, Ester Timothy and Sean Timothy. From this birth date follow those of their children, Virginia Dilisnya (682 BC), Clifford Dilisnya (687 BC), Irene Timothy (684 BC), and Nathan Timothy (684 BC), and those of their grandchildren, Winifred Ratcliff (706 BC), Michael Ratcliff (706 BC) and Alfred Timothy (709 BC), Ester Timothy (daughter of Nathan) (709 BC) and William Timothy (709 BC).
Unfortunately, Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill places a Eowin Timothy (I10 NPC) and a Sean Timothy (I10 NPC) in Mordent in 579 BC when Strahd and Azalin made their visit. There is also an Esther Timothy (I10 NPC), albeit spelled with an 'h'. An attempt in the Realm of Terror to address the matter is made insofar as Cain Timothy and Elizabeth Timothy, the parents of Eowin, Ester and Sean, are put in that time in place of their children, with Cain Timothy being born in 537 BC and Elizabeth Timothy being born in 539 BC. This attempt is deeply flawed however. Not only are the children born over a century after their parents, the death dates of the parents are given as 579 BC, eight decades before their children are in fact born. The cleanest solution is to conclude that the correct birth dates for Cain and Elizabeth are 637 BC and 639 BC with the pair meeting a sticky end in 679 BC (perhaps along side their son Sean Timothy) and that the Timothys from the prior century were a famous litter of three whose names were recycled by descendants in the naming of the litter of 660 BC.
