**Malia Hale** (Formerly **Malia Tate**) is an **Evolved Werecoyote** and, the daughter of **Werewolf**, Peter Hale and Corrine, the **Werecoyote** assassin, inheriting her mother's werecoyote genes instead of her father's werewolf genes, and taking a portion of her mother's power at birth, making Corrine despise her child and want to take her power back, by killing Malia to steal back her power.

Her grandmother, Talia Hale learned of Corrine's distaste for Malia, took Peter's memories of his daughter away, and put Malia up for adoption, where she was taken in by the Tate Family, before accidentally killing her adoptive mother and sister in a car crash, when she was nine years old, which was initiated by Corrine, who wanted to kill Malia in order to get her powers back, and Malia transformed for the first time, and was trapped in her coyote form for eight years, before being freed in 2011.

Upon returning to human form and getting re-acclimated to society, while learning to control her shift, Malia met her father, Peter Hale for the first time, and later discovered her place on the Deadpool, under her birth name; Malia Hale, instead of Malia Tate. After learning about her true heritage, Malia went to Peter for answers, neither of them finding anything useful, before Peter revealed that his sister, Talia had taken his memories, and that Malia's birth mother was still alive, igniting Malia's desire to hunt her down, both for answers, and to kill her.

Malia eventually found her birth mother with the help of Theo Raeken, a Werewolf-Werecoyote Chimera, and Braeden, a former US Marshall, who had been hunting the Desert Wolf for years. She managed to steal the rest of her mother's powers, this being the catalyst for Malia being able to shift into a coyote at will, before she left Beacon Hills, and joined Derek's rebuilt pack on the East Coast after the defeat of the Beast, and after finishing high school, Malia enrolled in a global education program, that would take her all over the world.

Malia is a member of the **Hale Family**, and adoptive member of the **Tate Family**. She is a former member of the **McCall Pack**, and current member of the **Hale Pack.**

## History

Malia was born on November 28th, 1994, to the Werecoyote assassin known as the Desert Wolf and Werewolf, Peter Hale. Her birth mother, Corrine despised her child because she had taken a portion of her powers at birth, leaving her weaker than before, igniting the desire inside of her to find a way to get the power back. Malia was adopted by the Tate Family, and Peter's memories of Malia's birth, and her existence were taken from him by his sister Talia, who put the files documenting Malia's birth into the Hale Vault under Beacon Hills High School.

When Malia was around nine years old, she got into a fight with her mother and sister one full moon right before they were getting ready to leave the house on an errand. Though she cannot remember the extent of their fight, in her anger, she told them, "I wish you were all dead." As they drove through the back roads of Beacon Hills, the Desert Wolf appeared in the middle of the road and began to shoot at them, which frightened her adoptive mom so much that she reflexively jerked the wheel away and drove into the nearby nature preserve.

Through the stress of the shooting and the detour, in conjunction with the full moon, Malia transformed into a full coyote the first time, which either caused the car wreck in the woods or was the result of it. It can also be assumed, due to Malia's blue eyes, that she was so overcome by the effects of her first full moon that she killed her mother and sister before running deeper into the woods, where she would live as a coyote for the next eight years out of guilt for her actions. It took three days before anyone even found the scene of the car crash.

## Personality

Due to Malia spending half of her life living as a coyote she is capable of taking care of herself. Though she has worked very hard to relearn how to live as a human after so many years of living as a coyote, Malia is more in touch with her animal instincts than anyone else in the Hale Pack, even her alpha, and cousin, Derek Hale. For a time, she would struggle a lot with her animal instincts to fight and kill, which was nearly all she knew when she lived as a coyote in the preserve.

When she was first learning how to live in society, it was a struggle, but eventually, thanks to the help of Stiles and the rest of the McCall Pack at the time, Malia grew to adjust. Despite her struggles to catch up with her peers in school in academic subjects such as math and history, Malia is quite intelligent, and has shown a strong aptitude for investigating supernatural disasters. Malia is also a survivor at heart, a trait she picked up in the wild kingdom, though her experiences with her pack have allowed her to shut down her reflexive instincts to flee from danger in favor of fighting and protecting her loved ones, whether it be a romantic relationship, or a familial one.

Malia has demonstrated that she hates being lied to, and finding out that someone she cares about has lied to her is one of the worst sins a person can commit in her eyes, as evidenced by her reaction upon learning that Stiles and Scott McCall kept the identity of her biological father (and the fact that she was adopted) a secret. She later had a revenge driven desire to kill her birth mother when she and Peter found out who she was, and Malia set out to kill her, before she could be killed first, something that her alpha at the time; Scott frowned upon, due to his morality code to never kill someone, and that here was always another option, but to Malia, all that mattered was killing the Desert Wolf as revenge for the deaths of her adopted family. While Malia didn't end up killing Corrine, she took all of her mother's power, leaving her powerless, before leaving Beacon Hills under the protection of the hybrid, Conri Tlanta, and joined the Hale Pack.

Malia grew into a confident, self-assured, and content young woman who trusts herself, her instincts, and her pack unconditionally, shown when she began spending time with her father, Peter and beginning to build more of a father-daughter relationship with him, and got closer to her cousin, Derek, and her second cousin Eli. She also became much better at reading people, something that she caught on from Theo, and when she is around humans in her daily life, she feels certain things about them and sees how they act, taking opinions based off of that.

Malia also has a sense of adventure that makes her want to see the world, which was the driving force that shoved her into a university program which would help her travel the world and learn about all the amazing things that the world and different countries have to offer her.

## Physical Appearance

Malia is a very beautiful and attractive, athletic, lean young woman that stands just a little taller than some of her other pack members and other peers. Her hair is naturally dark brown, and after returning to her human form in 2011, Malia has long, blonde-highlighted hair, which curls into waves around her clavicle, and is extremely soft due to the conditioner she uses, which smells like honey. Malia has caramel brown eyes as a human, and fairly tanned skin, which amplifies her crooked smile.

Malia's style is rustic and casual, typically choosing to wear cut-off jean shorts or neutral-toned skinny jeans with flannel shirts and trendy hoodies paired with boots. She doesn't often wear much jewelry or makeup, though she may accessorize with tall woolen socks under her boots or knit caps. After joining the Hale Pack, Malia began to wear more high quality materials, but didn't stray away from her usual style, and began wearing more platform and heeled boots and sneakers.

## Powers and Abilities

**Werecoyote Physiology:** Malia has demonstrated several abilities associated with the Werecoyote. She has super strength, speed, agility/reflexes, durability, senses, healing, pain absorption and partial Shapeshifting. She is also more in tune with her coyote side after living in the wild for almost a decade, so she can use her abilities much more efficiently than her were-creature peers, though she had to be taught to consciously use some of her powers. Even though Malia possess all the abilities of a Werecoyote, she also possesses abilities that seem to be more exclusive to her, which include:

### Powers

* **Advanced Shapeshifting:** Malia possesses the ability to fully transform into a true coyote. Malia demonstrated this ability for the first time when she was eight years old and spent the next eight years living as a true coyote in the woods. However, since being returned to her human form in 2011, Malia is still learning how to use the full extent of her Werecoyote abilities, but she has recently relearned how to fully shift into a coyote after being unable to consciously/actively do so, likely as a result of stealing the powers of her mother, the Desert Wolf.
* **Super Strength:** Supernatural strength is common for all Werecoyotes. However, due to stealing her mother's powers, Malia is far stronger than the average Werecoyote or Beta, making her a strong warrior in the Hale Pack.
* **Super Senses:** Malia has shown to be an extremely skilled tracker as evidenced by the fact that she has been able to easily track people within the underground tunnels beneath Beacon Hills, whereas most supernaturals find it difficult or even impossible because of the conflicting scents of sewage and chemicals.

### Abilities

* **Animal Knowledge:** Due to Malia having spent half her life in the woods in her coyote form, Malia has very advanced knowledge of the animal kingdom and how predatory animals live and behave. Even though Malia has since learned a great deal about living as a human after spending so long as an animal, her first instinct is to behave like a coyote.
* **Expert Combatant:** Malia's generally brave nature and willingness to fight in conjunction with her supernatural physical abilities have made her one of the best fighters in the Hale Pack.
* **Pain Tolerance:** Malia has shown to have a high tolerance for pain, and can handle it much better than her supernatural peers. This has led her to volunteer to get hurt if it means she can gain information or an advantage for the pack, and she always refuses any pain control measures when she's injured.
* **Hale Lineage:** As a member of the Hale bloodline, Malia can use her claws to open the doors to the Hale Vault underneath Beacon Hills High School.

## Weaknesses

As a Werecoyote, Malia possesses all the standard weaknesses associated with the species. This includes;

* **Electricity** (Which can weaken or even kill her depending on the voltage)
* **Wolfsbane** (Which can weaken or kill her depending on the potency, strain, and method of exposure)
* **Heightened Emotions**
* **Full Moons** Like most werecreatures, though she has learned enough control to be able to resist transforming except for certain rare occasions.
* **Lunar Eclipse** During the period when the moon is in the Earth's umbral shadow, as Werecoyotes, like all werecreatures, lose their powers, including their super strength, healing, and shapeshifting abilities.

## Etymology

* **Malia**: The name Malia is best known as a feminine Hawaiian given name that is a form of the name Mary, Maria, or Marie, and it has countless variations based on spelling or the region in which it is used. Maria is the Latin form of the Greek Μαρια, which is derived from the Hebrew מִרְיָם. Other related names are Miryam (the name of the sister of Moses in the Old Testament), Mora, Mara, Marianne, Marilyn, and Maureen, among numerous others. The meaning of "Malia" in Hawaiian is not known for certain, but theories include "sea of bitterness," "rebelliousness," and "a wish for a child," with the latter two definitions being relevant to Malia Tate since she was named by her adoptive parents who wanted a child and who has a very rebellious personality. Additionally, the name Malia means "queen" in Swahili, and in other languages and cultures, it is thought to mean "beloved" or "calm, peaceful."

* **Hale**: Derived from a geographical locality, "at the hale," i.e. "hall" (either as a proprietor or servant at a residence there). It is also derived from the Old English healh, meaning "nook" or "hollow." In northern England, the name often has a specialized meaning, either denoting a piece of flat alluvial land by the side of a river or as a patch of dry land in a fen. It is also sometimes a habitational name from any of the several places in England that shares the same name. Additionally, it could also have origins as a Middle English personal name derived from either of two Old English bynames, Haele ("hero"), or Haegel, which is akin to the Germanic Hagano meaning "hawthorn." The name Hale was first recorded as De Halys in 1130. It is said that the Hales were related to Saint Edmund, the King of East Anglia, which is how the family's coat of arms got their arrows pointing downward.

* **Tate**: Tate, also recorded as Tait, is an Anglo-Scottish surname that is believed to be of Norse Viking origin, likely being derived from the pre-7th century Old Norse word teitr, meaning "glad or cheerful."
