Libber grew up knowing she was a raijΕ«! I imagine them to leave their young to raise themselves, in which its vital for them to be able to use their raijΕ« form, of course. Despite this, they aren't entirely solitary creatures and Libber is a shining example of this. Pack-bonding like no other!!
As for reactions from the other EMs... hm ok here's my first thoughts, in order of when they find out:
Ice: The first to know, of course. He doesn't bat an eye when he walks in on her in her wolf-form tearing up Ray's shoes but he does suggest that she moves the shoes outside where it's easier to blame the damage on a wild animal. Libber thinks he already knew, possibly from the moment they met. She doesn't like that he doesn't let her use 'being a dog' as an excuse to get out of her chores though.
Garmadon: Is in the room when Libber and Ice enter in some kind of light-hearted argument. Libber turns into her wolf-form to try play-fight Ice, forgetting that Garmadon is there. He's offended that Libber told Ice before him (not that she meant to tell either of them!) and then asks a million questions; he had heard of raijΕ« before but never had the chance to meet one in person, so finding out his close friend was one? Hella cool. And then like the prick he is, he buys her a dog toy as a gag present for Christmas. He swears that it was worth it, despite the immediate violence that occurred upon her opening it and the confusion of everyone else in the room (minus Ice).
Maya: The first person that Libber tells by choice. Keeps asking 'are you sure' once Libber comes out. "What do you mean 'are you sure'??? You literally saw me turn into a wolf???" She's a bit confused, but she has the spirit. She also gets Libber a dog toy, but it's in an attempt to be genuinely supportive so Libber just has to suck it up and thank her for it while Garmadon is dying of laughter in the background.
Lilly: Shocked and then not. It makes sense in hindsight, she says. Libber thought she hid it quite well, thank you very much. Lilly is the no 1 fan of Libber's wolf form and will always cuddle her much to Libber's delight. Feeling sad and want physical contact with your friends? Easy, just turn into a dog and you don't even have to ask. Lilly quickly picks up on the fact that Libber does this when she wants comfort and puts all the more effort into giving her the best hugs and pets in the world. In addition to this, when she first finds out she immediately makes the connection that it was Libber who chewed up Ray's shoes and pays her to do so again the next time he annoys her.
Wu: Similar to Maya, when Libber tells him he suddenly second guesses everything, unsure how this changes things. "Can you still eat grapes?" Yes, she can she's been a raijΕ« all her life, of course she can still eat the same foods. "Are you still staying a ninja?" Of course she is! RaijΕ« make the BEST ninja! "Are you offended by the 'bitch' word?" Once again she is forced to accept his attempts to be supportive with a strained smile, even as Garmadon and Lilly (the traitor!!) crack up behind her. He seems more confused than shocked.
Ray: He is TERRIFIED of dogs. This doesn't bode well when he sees one loose inside the monastery. Libber, despite being rudely awoken by his scream, does her best to calm him down (in her human form of course), but he acts wary of her for weeks until he gets it through his head that she's not gonna bite him (unprompted). It's still a tentative relationship when she's in her wolf form, but after a particularly fight with the serpentine, the rest of the team wake one morning to find him holding wolf-her like a plushie while he sleeps. Things are better after that.
