Apart from the usuals such as a "doctor", town leader and a midwife, must haves in a coastal village would be carpenter, fisher, roper. Probably a cooper too, depending on the size of the town.
Don't forget the Barber.
Small brothel with worshippers of Calistria wouldn't be too off probably. Worshippers of besmara if they do any work in the sea. Oddly enough no worshippers of the were-wolf queen, she has a mandate about treating anyone who isn't a were-wolf as prey.
Were-giraffe scout. He's unusually good at hiding in trees.
How does this sound for proportions?
50% in food production (eg. hunting, fishing, farming)
10% in food processing (eg. miller, butcher, baker)
20% everyday craftsman (eg. carpenter/boatbuilder, tanner/leatherworker, weaver/ropemaker, blacksmith, potter)
1-2 Priests
1-2 Healers (eg. herbalist, midwife, barber-surgeon)
1 Chandler (general store, odds and ends)
1 Inn/tavern
OK, selkies (Were seals) make good fisher persons.
A pack of true were wolves may be the watch. A case of the gunfighter becomes the sheriff.
If you want to go with a cliche, Miss Kitty is a were tiger. A standard were Fox would make a good "Dance hall girl" because she can only reproduce by contagen, and then only with young girls.

Huh, where is this from if I can ask?
Shouldn't Miss Mitty be a were-Cougar?
I don't know the reference but this town could easily turn into a fun or a horrifying place very quickly...
Were-bears would make some awesome enforcers I think. Big and scary. Were-tigers are fantastic hunters, pounce and large size. I built a were-tiger Fiendish totem barbarian once and I wouldn't put the thing up against anyone.
The AD&D Were Fox was drowning in card rules. Female only, barren, ect.
Miss Kitty was from Gunsmoke. Perfect example of how to clean up something so the censors won't freak out.
The were weasels are the theives. Were-Ferrets are good guys. They ferret out the Were-Weasels and Were-Rats.
If you can find a book store, go to the manga section and find "Peach Fuzz". It's a story told from the point of view of a pet Ferret.
Werehamster and weregopher farmers. Wererat family takes care of the junkyard and septic pit.
The 'Old Man X' should be a were tortoise.

Kinda relevant. There was a 3rd edition D&D module that involved a village of animals that had been turned into humans and halflings. Can't think of the name, and all my books are packed atm. I seem to recall a lot of smaller animals, maybe not suitables weres, but could be a useful point in the right direction.
Or, you know, a werebeaver.
Molly: A shy child werewolf girl in a threadbare pink dress carrying around a teddywerewolf.
In human form she's shy, but when she transforms she scares were's twice her size.

Steve: totally not a lycanthrope at all, but has to pretend he loves eating raw meat and junk cuz if anyone finds out he's F@#@ED!

The undertaker is obviously a were-vulture, even though the were-jackal is trying to move in on his business.

Does he know he isn't a werewolf? In The Name of the Rose, they found an old medical book with an entry about how to spot someone who was starting to act like a wolf.
