Melissa McCall

**Melissa McCall (née Delgado)** is a character in the MTV original series, *Teen Wolf*. She is a medic who is the mother of Scott McCall, the girlfriend of Chris Argent, and the ex-wife of FBI agent Rafael McCall. She is also associated with the McCall Pack, acting as one of the three paternal figures out the team. She was initially afraid of her son when she learned he was a werewolf, but finally accepted him for who he was.

## History

Melissa Delgado was born to an unnamed man. Her father used to have a saying about the word "should:" You are "should-ing" all over yourself if you use the word too often." Something she would later tell Scott years later.

Sometime in the 1990s, Melissa married FBI Agent Rafael McCall. He gifted her with a special watch when she first started working at Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital. She later gave birth to her son, Scott on September 15, 1995.

## Personality

Melissa is very brave and courageous woman who has been forced to go up against the supernatural several times,and who is dedicated to helping protect innocents against the supernatural despite the fact that she is human herself. She has even been shown to hold her own in these situations, such as how she was able to defeat Ethan and Aiden when they were attacking Scott by shocking them with a defibrillator. As a nurse, Melissa is also a very intelligent woman who is not easily fazed by stressful situations, a skill she developed from years of working as an emergency room nurse, and who has proven herself to be a quick learner ever since she was exposed to the truth about the supernatural world. She is a very hard-working woman, as evidenced by the fact that she has worked countless double shifts and night shifts in order to support herself and Scott, and she manages to keep the household running despite being overworked and underpaid in her position.

Melissa is a compassionate, empathetic, and caring woman with a desire to help anyone who needs it, qualities she passed down to her son Scott, but she has also demonstrated a feisty, snarky, and tough demeanor as well, proving just how complex of a character she really is. She is also so devoted to her son that she was able to bring him back to life after he was killed by Theo Raeken, though she had help from the supermoon that helped to strengthen his durability and healing abilities enough to return to life, even despite the fact that his guilt slowed his recovery. Despite her instincts to protect her son at all costs, she is mature and understanding enough to accept that his work as the True Alpha to the McCall Pack is what keeps their hometown safe from supernatural threats, which is what allows her to keep motivating him to do what he needs to do in order to protect their innocent fellow citizens from harm and actively assisting him in this mission.

## Physical Appearance

Melissa is a very attractive woman in her early 40s with tanned white skin, warm brown eyes, and long, wavy-curly brown hair. She is often dressed in her hospital scrubs, which she usually chooses in pastel colors such as light blue, green, pink, or purple, and which she occasionally pairs with a white or gray cardigan sweater. Because she spends nearly all of her time working, she is rarely seen in non-work attire, though she did put on a very nice dress for her date with Peter Hale, and she has occasionally been seen in pajamas and a robe, or jeans and a sweater during her rare hours off of work. She keeps her makeup to a minimum, typically only wearing a little blush and mascara, and she has a gold chain necklace with a small pendant that she always wears as well.
