Tracy Stewart

* Human
* Chimera

**Tracy Stewart** was a supporting character in Season 5 of *Teen Wolf*. She was the daughter of public defender Mr. Stewart and an unnamed woman. Tracy was also a senior at Beacon Hills High School. She was first introduced when she was having a counseling session with Natalie Martin in *Parasomnia*, where she admitted that she suffered from night terrors. After reading Gabriel Valack's book about the Dread Doctors, Tracy began to experience hallucinations of repressed memories she had of being transformed into a Chimera through their experiments. After snapping out of her hallucinations, the Dread Doctors killed Tracy by injecting her with an overdose of modified mercury, stating that her condition was terminal as a result of her body's rejection of the transformation.

Not long after her body was taken to the Nemeton by Jordan Parrish, Tracy was resurrected by Theo Raeken using a green serum created by the Dread Doctors. Afterward, Tracy immediately joined Theo's Chimera Pack, and proved herself to be the only member who never once questioned her place in the pack or felt conflicted about the things that Theo wanted them to do, as she seemed genuinely happy to be working with him and enjoyed using her powers against others.

Unfortunately for Tracy, her newfound confidence and powerful nature was short-lived, as she ultimately met her death a second and final time in the penultimate episode of Season 5B, when Theo killed her to steal her Chimera powers in hopes that her Kanima venom would allow him to kill the Beast of Gevaudan and steal its powers as well.

Tracy was a member of the **Chimera Pack** and was a senior at **Beacon Hills High School**.

## Early life

Virtually nothing about Tracy's life prior to her introduction in the series is known. Her father worked as a lawyer (specifically a public defender) *("Parasomnia")*, *("Dreamcatchers")*, but since her mother was not seen or mentioned during her time on the series, it is possible that her parents were either divorced or her mother had died from unknown causes.

Tracy seemed to be an average student in school at best, judging by Natalie Martin's comments about needing good recommendations to get into college *("Parasomnia")*, and she had seemingly been suffering from night terrors for a long enough period of time that she was seeing a psychiatrist to help deal with them. *("Dreamcatchers")*. At some point in her life, her father defended a felon on death row, which led her to learn the details of how lethal injection worked. She would later use this lesson in practice after her resurrection, when she used her Kanima venom in the exact same manner in order to kill the prison transport driver whose life she had failed to end during her bout of night terrors and hallucinations following her transformation into a Chimera. *("Codominance")*, *("Dreamcatchers")*

## Personality

When she was first introduced, Tracy originally appeared to be a nice and sweet girl who was very shy and quiet and who suffered in silence from night terrors that required her to see the guidance counselor and a psychiatrist. However, after her resurrection, she became a different person, both due to the darkness inside of her as a result of being brought back to life and the fact that Theo actively encouraged her to relish in this darkness. This was evidenced by the fact that, after joining Theo's pack, Tracy killed several people of her own free will. It was Deucalion who pointed out that Tracy must have felt defenseless and weak prior to becoming a Chimera, and he then suggested that it was this defenselessness that made Tracy enjoy the power she gained as a Werewolf-Kanima hybrid and use it to hurt others.

## Physical Appearance

Tracy is an attractive young woman with tanned, olive-toned skin, long brown hair, and almond-shaped brown eyes, as well as a tall, toned physique. Prior to her first death, she dressed in a feminine, girl-next-door style in jeans and cardigan sweaters. However, after she was resurrected, she put blonde highlights in her brown hair and began dressing in a more trendy fashion to reflect her new, confident personality.

## Powers and Abilities

As a Chimera, a human who has been scientifically given the powers of two supernatural species, Tracy possessed some of the abilities of a Werewolf and a Kanima. However, since Chimeras are not actually supernatural beings like true shapeshifters, it is possible that Tracy was not as strong as most supernaturals, since Theo, a fellow Chimera, said that Chimeras are more like "cheap knockoffs" of true supernaturals and thus their powers may be inferior in some ways. The powers that Tracy exhibited on the show are as follows:

* **Super Strength**: As a Chimera, Tracy possessed superior strength that was powerful enough to break through her sealed-shut skylight, punch through car windshields, and easily maul humans. This was a power that served Tracy well during fights with humans and supernaturals alike.
* **Super Speed**: As a Chimera, Tracy possessed superior speed that allowed her to run faster than even the most athletic human.
* **Super Agility**: As a Chimera, Tracy possessed enhanced agility, allowing her to easily dodge attacks and blows and perform gymnastic and acrobatic feats without training. This power also extended to her reflexes, allowing her to dodge small projectiles like bullets and catch larger projectiles like arrows before they could hit her.
* **Super Durability**: Like her Werewolf counterparts, Tracy possessed a superior level of durability to blunt force trauma, allowing her to be thrown against the floor and walls without sustaining serious injury. However, like her Kanima counterparts, Tracy also possessed an astonishing level of durability to open wounds as well, making her skin nearly impenetrable with conventional weapons; when Alan Deaton attempted to test her healing ability by cutting her arm with a scalpel, the surgical steel blade broke after making contact with her skin, preventing him from even leaving a scratch. However, Tracy's skin was not completely impenetrable to supernatural weapons, as the claws of other Chimeras and true shapeshifters seemed to be able to wound her, such as when Scott forced Josh Diaz to impale Tracy with his electrified claws in a fight to avoid being hit himself, or when Theo shoved his claws into her back to steal her powers as he killed her.
* **Super Senses**: Due to being a Werewolf-Kanima Chimera, Tracy possessed heightened senses of sight, smell, and hearing. With this sight, she was able to see in darkness and across large distances, and her Kanima-eyes could presumably perceive supernatural phenomena that was otherwise imperceptible to human eyes, such as a Kitsune's aura or the Nemeton when it was shielding itself. With her heightened sense of smell, she could track others by scent and identify the chemosignals in scents to determine emotional state. Finally, with her heightened sense of hearing, Tracy could hear whispered conversations from outside of a building and could anticipate attacks by listening for footsteps.
* **Accelerated Healing**: Though Tracy's highly-developed enhanced durability prevented her from being wounded in many ways, she could still be harmed by stronger supernatural creatures. However, her accelerated healing ability allowed her to quickly heal from these wounds much faster than an ordinary human would be able to heal. This healing ability also meant that she was immune to all human diseases and conditions, and she could not become intoxicated by alcohol or other drugs due to the fact that her body healed the damage too quickly. It is likely that this healing factor would have also afforded her an extended lifespan and slowed aging if she had not been killed by Theo.
* **Shapeshifting**: As a Werewolf-Kanima Chimera, Tracy possessed an interesting shapeshifting ability. Early in her transformation, Tracy demonstrated that she had glowing gold eyes, claws, and fangs that made others believe that she was a Werewolf. However, this ability eventually developed to the point where Tracy's golden "Beta" eyes eventually turned into golden-orange Kanima eyes, and she began to grow scales on half of her body (to represent her half-Kanima nature) as well as a tail that could mold itself to her spine when not in use. Unfortunately for Tracy, her tail was cut off by Kira Yukimura with her katana, leaving her with only a small stub of a tail. Despite these Kanima characteristics, Deaton made it clear that Tracy's claws and fangs were still those of a Werewolf.
* **Wall Clinging**: Due to her Kanima side, Tracy was able to cling to walls with her hands and bare feet, allowing her to walk up walls and hang from the ceiling to aid in her attack of others. She demonstrated this ability at the Beacon County Sheriff's Station, when she attacked Sheriff Stilinski, Valerie Clark, Lydia Martin, Natalie Martin, and Kira Yukimura.
* **Kanima Venom Production**: Due to her Kanima side, Tracy was able to produce a venom from her tail and claws, which she could then use to paralyze others by scratching them with those limbs. Once exposed to the venom, the victim would then be paralyzed from the neck down for anywhere between a half hour and several hours, depending on the victim's healing ability and how much venom to which they were exposed. This venom could be "milked" from her claws and put into a syringe for others to use, and when humans were given the venom intravenously, it would paralyze their diaphragms and effectively smother them to death. However, supernatural creatures who were given the venom intravenously would simply just be paralyzed for several hours due to their heightened healing abilities, as evidenced when Hayden Romero injected Deucalion with Tracy's venom.
* **Mountain Ash Immunity**: Like all Chimeras, Tracy was immune to the effects of rowan wood and its incinerate form, mountain ash, due to the fact that she is a human who had supernatural powers bestowed upon her using science rather than science or mystical energy. As a result, she could not be trapped within a circle of it or prevented from entering an area warded with it, and she could handle it like any other human.

## Weaknesses

Though Chimeras in general don't seem to have as many weaknesses as true supernaturals, Tracy was not shown to be fully invulnerable. For example, Tracy appeared to have a weakness to electricity, much like real Werewolves, which was evidenced on three separate occasions. On the first, Tracy and her packmate Josh Diaz, a Chimera with electromagnetokinesis, were fighting the True Alpha Scott McCall when Scott grabbed Tracy's clawed hand and shoved it into Josh's chest; Josh's electricity shocked and weakened Tracy while her Kanima venom paralyzed Josh, effectively defeating both in one shot. The second time, Tracy was knocked out with a high-voltage taser wand wielded by Natalie Martin at Eichen House, and the third time, Tracy was once again weakened by electrokinesis, this time by Theo Raeken, who had stolen Josh's powers and used them against Tracy to weaken her enough to kill her and steal her powers as well.

Additionally, Tracy's Kanima venom was not effective against everyone, and since she relied on this venom in battle, this could be considered a weakness. For example, Tracy's venom didn't work when she fought against Lydia Martin (who, as a Banshee, was immune to most supernatural phenomena), nor did it work on Jordan Parrish (who, as a Hellhound, a being connected to Banshees, was also immune to the venom). When Theo used Tracy's venom against Sebastien Valet, otherwise known as the Beast of Gevaudan, it also proved ineffective, indicating that, had Tracy survived to battle the Beast in person, her venom would not have worked against him either. Though the venom worked on Malia Tate, she was able to heal remarkably quick and defeated Tracy in hand-to-hand combat.

## Trivia

* Since Kanimas are said to seek a master, it is possible that the reason why Tracy has been so loyal to Theo Raeken in the aftermath of her resurrection is because her gratitude toward Theo for bringing her back has caused her to see him as a master.
* Tracy was the first person known to have read Gabriel Valack's book *The Dread Doctors*, which is what caused her terrifying hallucinations and flashbacks in *Dreamcatchers*.
* In *The Beast of Beacon Hills*, Tracy helped Corinne into the McCall House so the assassin could kill Malia Tate, since Tracy was immune to the Mountain Ash used to ward the house.
* In *Apotheosis*, it was revealed that, despite Tracy being part-Werewolf, she did not possess the power to absorb pain from other living beings like real Werewolves, Werecoyotes, and the rest of the other part-Werewolf Chimeras like Theo and Hayden Romero have.
* Judging by the sketches on the walls of Tracy's bedroom, it is likely that Tracy was a skilled artist.
* Tracy is quite similar to Erica Reyes, as both were shy and insecure before becoming much more confident due to their respective transformations.
