Allison Argent

**Allison Argent** is a main character and the former female lead 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'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.

Fifteen years following her death, in 2026, Scott, Lydia and Malia Tate, after learning time was limited to complete a ritual to help Allison cross over, gathered some of the land where Allison died as well as the Oni *ninjato* that took her life and placed them above the Nemeton. The ancient tree, instead of helping her cross over, actually restored Allison's physical body and successfully brought her back to life, despite the fact that she had been cremated and not buried nearby.

Unfortunately, she initially did not recognize neither her father nor her packmates, especially Scott. This state allowed her to be easily influenced by the recently-freed Nogitsune, who decided to use Allison as the perfect weapon to annihilate Scott, the other McCall Pack members and their allies. However, Scott slowly managed to remind her of her previous life and it was only Lydia's Banshee scream that allowed all of her memories of her loved ones to return to her mind. She then witnessed the Nogitsune be overpowered and incinerated to death along with Derek, who sacrificed himself to ensure the creature was slayed once and for all. She attended the memorial service organized to honor Derek's memory and rekindled her relationship with Scott, who was always her first love and they moved to Los Angeles, along with Derek's son, Eli Hale, who Scott adopted.

Allison is in a romantic relationship with Scott McCall, had a romantic relationship with Isaac Lahey and is a member of the **McCall Pack**. She is best friends with Lydia Martin, who is her sister-in-arms and who is often described as being the Stiles to Allison's Scott. She is also a member and matriarch of the **Argent Family**, and was a junior at **Beacon Hills High School** at the time of her death.

## 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. *("Wolf Moon")*, *("Magic Bullet")*, *("Lunar Ellipse")* 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. *("Pack Mentality")*, *("Magic Bullet")*

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. *("The Tell")*

## 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. *("Co-Captain")* 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. *("Lunar Ellipse")* 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. *("Magic Bullet")*

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. *("Chaos Rising")* 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 current relationship with Isaac Lahey, her and her father Argent's recent trust toward Derek Hale, and her mission to save her friend Stiles Stilinski from the Nogitsune. *("The Fox and the Wolf")*

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 and Cora (when they were running loose after they hadn't transformed on a full moon for four months) without any assistance *("Unleashed")*, as well as how she was able to lead the search for Stiles/the Nogitsune after he escaped from Eichen House. *("The Fox and the Wolf")*

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. *("Lunar Ellipse")* 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. *("Insatiable")*

After being brought back to life nearly twenty years later, Allison was initially very confused and wary of everything and everyone around her, with a big part of her memories of her loved ones being gone, though she remembered her family's mission of ridding the world of the supernatural. The Nogitsune took advantage of these circumstances to manipulate Allison into helping him in his mission to destroy Scott and her other packmates, even wearing her mother Victoria's face to manipulate her even easier. However, Scott's repeated efforts to reconnect with her and remind her of her life before her death slowly allowed her real self to return. Once Lydia Banshee-screamed her name, all of her memories were restored and she fought against the Oni and the Nogitsune to defend her loved ones. Once all threats had been eliminated, she happily resumed her relationship with Scott, who guaranteed to his first love that they could still have a future, giving Allison some inner peace and joy.

## 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.

## Powers and Abilities

**Supernatural Hunter:** As a human, Allison possesses no supernatural powers, but her role as a skilled Hunter meant that she does possess many valuable abilities that offer her many advantages in the supernatural world. She was trained from ages sixteen to eighteen in all of the skills necessary to become a Hunter, including close-quarters combat, firearms and melee weaponry of all kinds, and the strengths and, more importantly, weaknesses of a variety of supernatural creatures, such as Mountain Ash and Wolfsbane. Before her final battle prior to her death in the Battle of Oak Creek, her father Argent helped her finish her "graduation" from Hunter training, which involved Allison forging a silver arrowhead as a testament to her personal Hunter Code, "We protect those who cannot protect themselves." *("Insatiable")*

* **Expert Markswoman:** Allison is an expert archer, learning archery from a very young age and qualifying for national competitions into her teenage years. *("Magic Bullet")* She is able to accurately use longbows, crossbows, and guns with pinpoint accuracy, save for the few weeks after she was resurrected, when the darkness around her heart caused her hand tremors that affected her aim. *("Anchors")*, *("More Bad Than Good")*
* **Expert Martial Artist:** As an Argent Hunter, Allison was trained vigorously in close-quarters combat and martial arts, allowing her to fight even without her weapons if necessary. She was able to hold her own against both Marin Morrell, the well-trained Emissary to the Alpha Pack, and an Oni, with whom she fought at one point using solely her bow as a makeshift staff. *("Chaos Rising")*, *("Insatiable")* She also disarmed Katashi, an old and experienced Yakuza member, using only a chain. *("Silverfinger")* Upon her resurrection nearly two decades later, she was easily able to escape Malia Tate's grasp and knock her down to the ground before defeating two armed security guards of Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital with little difficulty. Though she was capable of taking on several Oni along with Scott, she was eventually disarmed of her bow, which she was using as makeshift staff. She also tried to fight and kill Derek Hale, an Evolved Beta Werewolf, shortly after her resurrection, only for him to throw her away from him with ease, though she ultimately brought the fight to an end by shooting him through the throat before she was forced to run to recalibrate her plans. *("Teen Wolf: The Movie (2022)")*
* **Expert Weapons Knowledge/Training:** Allison was trained in the use of guns, bows, swords, daggers, and chained weapons (though she preferred to use her long-bow or ring daggers). and was able to identify a variety of weapons in her arsenal when Special Agent McCall doubted her father's cover story as a legal firearms dealer and security consultant. *("Lunar Ellipse")* She is also able to assemble and disassemble more complicated weapons, and was shown to have made five of her own silver arrowheads by hand, which were designed with the Argent *fleur-de-lis*, and were ultimately used to kill the Oni even after her death. *("Insatiable")*, *("The Divine Move")* Allison also demonstrated competence with a katana during a battle between herself and Kira Yukimura and the out-of-control Isaac, Ethan, and Aiden after her crossbow jammed, leading Kira to toss her her own sword to fend off the Werewolves while Kira fixed the crossbow. *("Letharia Vulpina")*
* **Tactician:** Allison is capable of organizing and executing plans for various missions, both as the Argent matriarch and as a member of McCall Pack, including the invasion of the Sheriff's department after Matt had held several people hostage, *("Fury")*, the trap set for Cora and Boyd during the full moon *("Fireflies")*, [the plot to steal the Shugendo Scroll from an armored FBI vehicle *("Echo House")*, and the search party for Stiles/the Nogitsune after they escaped from Eichen House *("The Fox and the Wolf")*. Even after being dead for fifteen years and dealing with memory loss after her resurrection, she was able to accurately predict Eli Hale's next move after he got away from her during her fight with his father Derek at the high School and tracked him down to Hale Auto. *("Teen Wolf: The Movie (2022)")*
* **Expert Manipulator:** In desperate situations, Allison has shown to be quite good at manipulating others to give her the information she wanted. This was demonstrated when she and Scott were talking to Gerard about the Alpha Pack, when she purposely made him feel useless so that he would give them the information about Deucalion *("Visionary")*. She also used this when she and Lydia went to Derek's loft, when she purposely played "hard to get" to convince Peter Hale to teach Lydia how to control her Banshee powers. *("Letharia Vulpina")*
* **Expert Hunter:** As a Hunter, Allison is knowledgeable in the migration patterns and habits of animals, particularly wolves, coyotes, and foxes, along with their corresponding supernatural creatures. She was able to use knowledge of how animals track their prey using scent by leaving a trail of blood to lure Werewolves into a trap *("Fireflies")*, and was able to help narrow the location of Malia Tate while she was in coyote form using the knowledge she had gained that coyotes travel on fixed trails and often tip-toe to avoid being tracked. *("More Bad Than Good")*
* **First Aid Knowledge:** When Scott was badly injured by Ennis and too overwhelmed with guilt to allow himself to heal, Allison used a sanitized needle and thread to sew up Scott's wounds, which allowed him to finally recover. *("Frayed")* She also bandaged her father up with tape sutures and other bandages after he was attacked while trying to track down Katashi. *("Silverfinger")*
* **Basic Mechanical Knowledge:** Allison demonstrated an understanding of how motor vehicles work, as she was able to hot-wire Aiden's motorcycle so that Isaac could steal it and ride it through the hallways of the high school.
* **Expert Gymnast/Free Runner:** According to Allison, she was a gymnast for eight years, and she demonstrated her acrobatic feats by doing a flip off of her roof and landing lightly on her feet on the ground. *("Pack Mentality")* Though she did not use these gymnastic skills often, they likely came in handy during her hunter training. Upon her resurrection, she was able to evade blows from Sheriff's deputies at the hospital by running up the wall to build up momentum so she could dodge and kick her opponent. *("Teen Wolf: The Movie (2022)")*

## Weaknesses

* **Mortality:** As a human, Allison was prone to the same vulnerabilities as any other mundane person had, such as terminal illness, snapped necks, fatal stab wounds, and gunshots, etc. In fact, this was ultimately how Allison met her end, because she was stabbed in the chest by an Oni's sword and was unable to get medical attention in time to be saved. *("Insatiable")*
* **Side Effects of Resurrection:** Because Allison, like Scott and Stiles, performed the surrogate sacrifice ritual to save their parents by drowning themselves to find the location of the Nemeton before being resurrected, she developed a darkness around her heart that lingered for the rest of her life. This darkness manifested as insecurity and lack of confidence, causing Allison to hallucinate about her presumed-dead aunt, Kate, and develop hand tremors that interfered with her ability to aim a gun or an arrow at a target.
* **Kanima Venom:** As a human, Allison was vulnerable to the effects of Kanima venom when it came into contact with her skin. On at least one occasion, Allison was scratched by Jackson Whittemore while he was the Kanima, which caused her to be completely paralyzed for several hours before it worked itself out of her system.

## Trivia

* She lived in Beacon Hills for the longest time of any of the other places her family had moved throughout her life. Before that, the longest she ever lived in one place was her time in San Francisco, right before she came to Beacon Hills.
* There is speculation that Allison may have had some sort of psychic ability before her death because she had several hallucinations or dreams that involved her aunt Kate being alive and having large, sharp fangs. Then, in the episode after Allison died, it was revealed that Kate really was still alive, and that having her throat ripped out by Peter while he was still an Alpha caused her to turn into a Werejaguar. However, this has never been proven in canon, and with Allison having been killed off, there will never be answers to this mystery.
* Though Allison has only had romantic relationships with two male characters (Scott and Isaac), it was also implied that there were also romantic feelings on both sides between Allison and Jackson as well, not to mention Matt Daehler's one-sided and stalker-y crush on her in Season 2.
* Because the Argent Family has a matriarchal hierarchy in which the women are raised to be leaders and the men are raised to be soldiers, Allison took over the role of matriarch of the Argent Hunters after the death of her mother Victoria.
* Allison was Scott's first love and also his first anchor after he turned into a Werewolf.
* Despite Allison's death, her presence continues to linger on the show. For example, her name was the keyword to decode the first third of the Deadpool hit-list *("The Benefactor")*, and during the Senior Scribe event at the high school, Scott wrote her initials, "A.A.", next to his own so that she would still be remembered, as he and the others in the pack knew that she would have been there with them had she still been alive *("Creatures of the Night")*. Scott's memories of Allison even saved his life in *Apotheosis* when Sebastien Valet inadvertently pierced his claws in the back of Scott's neck, causing him to see a rush of memories of Allison that confused him so much (because Allison looked exactly like his sister, Marie-Jeanne Valet) that he let go of Scott, allowing him to get the upper hand and eventually kill the Beast once and for all. *("Apotheosis")*
