**Allison Celestine Argent** is a main character of the *Teen Wolf* series. She is the daughter of Chris Argent and Victoria Argent, the niece of Kate Argent, the granddaughter of Gerard Argent, and a descendant of Marie-Jeanne Valet and Henri Argent. Despite being descended from a long line of prolific French Werewolf Hunters, Allison was unaware of her legacy as a member of the Argent Family until shortly after her seventeenth birthday, when her aunt Kate introduced her to the world of the supernatural. Though she was originally resistant to her heritage, Allison finally began to seriously train in combat and the use of a multitude of weapons during her sophomore and junior year at Beacon Hills High School, where she found that she had a natural affinity for the craft.

After the death of her mother Victoria, Allison, as the sole remaining woman in the family, became the head of the Argent Hunter clan due to their family's tradition of matriarchal leadership. However, unlike the female Argent leaders who came before her, Allison belonged to a Werewolf pack, and encouraged her father to join her in changing their Code by abandoning the concept of hunting all supernaturals and instead protecting all innocents, whether human or supernatural, from anyone of any species who mean to do them harm.

She lived by their new Code, "We protect those who cannot protect themselves," until the end of the third season, when she was fatally stabbed by an Oni demon's sword during a battle in *Insatiable*, though she saved the lives of her friends with her sacrifice. Even after her death, her presence continues to live on in her pack, as they continue to fight by her Code.

**Allison** is a member of the **McCall Pack**. She is also a member and matriarch of the **Argent Family**. She has ties to the **McCall Family**, **Delgado Family**, **Raven Family**, **Beaumont Family**, and **Malraux Family** through her father's marraige to Melissa.

## Early life

Not much is known about her early history, aside from the fact that she moved around constantly due to her family being in the Werewolf hunting business, though this was always blamed on her father's cover as a security consultant and licensed firearms dealer who sold weaponry to local police departments. Her mother worked several different jobs during this time, including as a buyer for a boutique in San Francisco and a math teacher at a boy's boarding school.

During her youth, Allison was very involved in extracurricular activities, including training as a gymnast for eight years and taking archery lessons, the latter of which she was so talented that she became nationally ranked and could have ascended to the elite level of competition had she not become temporarily bored of the activity. She also pursued other hobbies, such as painting, photography, and poetry, but her perfectionist tendencies made it difficult for her to enjoy these activities due to how hard she was on herself to be the best at everything she did.

She spent her life very close to her aunt Kate, who she described more like her sister, though the fact that both Kate and her parents were constantly moving around to different areas where Hunters were needed made it hard for them to see each other regularly. For reasons unknown, she was not close to her grandfather Gerard at all while she was growing up, to the point where she hadn't seen him since she was three years old when he returned to Beacon Hills in 2011, making it nearly a fifteen-year absence.

Allison also once confessed to Scott McCall that she had been held back a grade in school because her family was constantly moving around through her childhood and adolescence. As a result, she was ashamed of the fact that she was older than her classmates and tried to hide her birthday from them so they wouldn't find out her true age, though this was not always successful and usually led to assumptions that the reason she was held back was either because she wasn't neurotypical, because she got pregnant, or because she was on drugs.

## Personality

Allison is a very loyal, independent, and strong-willed woman. After she first moved to Beacon Hills and was trapped in the high school by Peter Hale, she expressed her embarrassment and frustration at how weak and powerless she felt to her aunt Kate before vowing to dedicate herself to becoming more powerful. From then on, Allison was determined to learn everything that her father could teach her about being a Hunter so that she could always feel confident in her ability to take care of herself. Allison was the epitome of a perfectionist, as she was prone to starting new hobbies often, only to abandon them shortly afterward when she could not immediately master them to her high standards, such as poetry, photography, and painting.

While she was a proud person, a trait she inherited from her parents, aunt, grandfather, and female ancestor, she was not above admitting when she had done wrong, apologizing for the misdeeds she had committed while being manipulated by Gerard and taking accountability for those she had hurt while also having the strength of character to refuse to take responsibility for the actions of others, such as the things Gerard did, just because they were related. She was also not immune to self-doubt, even after she became a prodigious Hunter and leader in her own right, as evidenced when she claimed to not be fearless as Noah Stilinski believed and instead confessed to being terrified all the time, second-guessing her breakup with Scott McCall, her and her father Argent's recent trust toward Derek Hale, and her mission to save her friend Stiles Stilinski from the Nogitsune.

Although Allison was human, she was not content to allow her supernatural packmates leave her behind when there were battles to be fought, and in time, she became one of their best fighters despite her lack of mystical powers. In addition to her combat and weaponry skills, Allison was shown to be both intelligent and clever and demonstrated a superb ability to easily organize and execute plans that allowed her to rise to the role of Argent matriarch after her mother's death. This ability was evidenced by her ability to set a trap for Boyd, Hayley, and Cora (when they were running loose after they hadn't transformed on a full moon for four months) without any assistance, as well as how she was able to lead the search for Stiles/the Nogitsune after he escaped from Eichen House.

Most of all, Allison was a protector at heart and would do whatever she had to do to save her loved ones and the Beacon Hills citizens at large. She changed the Argent Hunter Code from "We hunt those to hunt us" to "We protect those who cannot help themselves" to indicate that they would be protecting innocent supernaturals just as they protected innocent humans. In her final battle, she came to Camp Oak Creek to fight the Oni (despite Lydia's many messages to stay away after she had a Banshee premonition that Allison would die) because her only concern was that Lydia was safe. It was during this battle that one of the Oni stabbed her after she stepped in to protect Isaac, who was about to receive a killing blow from them. After the Oni had mortally wounded her, Allison further demonstrated her dedication to protecting her loved ones when her first question to Scott was to ask if they rescued Lydia, proving once and for all that she would gladly give her life for any of her friends or family.

Eventually she was resurrected by Adella McCall and is the same but with a little agresson from her werewolf side.

## Physical Appearance

Allison is a tall and thin young woman with pale white and lightly freckled skin, curly dark brown hair, and brown eyes, giving off a similar resemblance to Snow White, although in Season 3, Allison cut her waist-length hair to her shoulders; in the first half of the season, the color was lightened it to a bronze-gold shade before being darkened back to its usual chocolate brown tone in the second half). She was fond of pairing feminine doll-like dresses with more masculine and utilitarian-style jackets and boots to add practicality to her outfit in case she was caught unaware in a fight; this highlighted the fact that Allison was both a very feminine, loving, and passionate woman who was also a strong warrior capable of taking on a military-general-type role in her family and pack when necessary.

She was also known for keeping weapons on her at all times, including ring daggers stashed in her boots or purse, a mini-crossbow in her bookbag, and extra arrowheads kept in the glove box of her car just in case. She typically wore her makeup in a clean and simple style, and she rarely wore jewelry, though she would sometimes be seen wearing a ring wrought in an infinity symbol on her left hand, and she was in possession of the Argent pendant until the end of Season 1.

## Name

* **Allison**: Allison is a variant of the feminine English and French name Alison. The origin of this name is from the Norman French diminutive *Aalis* (Alice), which came from the Germanic name *Adalheidis*; this name was composed of the elements *adal*, meaning "noble," and *heid*, meaning "kind," a fitting name for Allison Argent, who was a kind and compassionate woman who was also a legacy of a noble French family. The name Allison was common in England and France in the Middle Ages and was later revived in popularity in the 20th century.
	+ Variants of the name in other languages include: Kalisha, Talisha (African American English); Adalheidis, Adelais, Adela (Ancient Germanic); Alícia (Catalan); Adelheid (Dutch, German); Aliisa, Alisa, Alli (Finnish); Adélaide, Alice, Alison, Alix (French); Adelaida, Alíz (Hungarian); Ailís (Irish); Alise (Latvian); Aalis (Medieval French); Adelajda, Alicja (Polish); Alisa (Russian); Aileas (Scottish).
* **Argent**: Argent is a surname with two known origins. The first is from the Old French *argent*, meaning "silver," usually used as a nickname for someone with silvery hair, as an occupational name for someone who was a silversmith, or a topographical name for someone who lived near a silver mine; in the case of Allison Argent and her family, it is likely related to the occupational name due to the use of silver in weapons centuries ago. The second origin is from the several French towns and villages called Argen or Argent, particularly in Aude and Bassey-Alpes where silver is mined, indicating that Argent could also be a locational surname. The town names are derived from the Late Latin personal name *Argenteus* or Argentius*, meaning "silvery." The name Argent as a surname dates back to the 12th century, and variations of the name include Argente, Arghent, Argentt, Argont, and Argontt.*
