The Lovable Cast of Teen Wolf

My latest TV show obsession is most definitely Teen Wolf.

I've actually always really loved this show. But I finally got some of my friends hooked too, which made me kind of re-fall in love with it since now I finally have people to discuss the episodes with. It's true, season one is a little bit cheesy, but in a good way. By the end of season one you'll love the main characters. By the end of season two you'll realize that the plot is actually really interesting as well, and the overall content of the show has developed from an okay plot with some serious eye candy to a story that you want to see more of with a cast that you actually love, both for their looks and personality. Season three brings in the "I need to hook up with [insert favorite character's real name] ASAP and I need Scott and all of his friends to be safe from these crazy Alphas and mystery murderer...HELP ME!"

But I think the reason I really love this show is because every character has a trait that they convey to the screen so perfectly that you really love them, because of this given trait. So, to all you Teen Wolf fans out there, here are the characteristics that I think define and perfect each character. Please let me know what you think, whether you agree, disagree, or have a different title for the characters, and we'll talk about it!!

Scott: The Sweetheart 
He kisses his mother goodbye, he is more often than not the victim of Stiles' sarcasm but accepts it as any best friend should, he will always have a giant soft spot for Allison, and he helps Derek find Eric & Boyd because it's the right thing to do. If only there were really men like Scott. I'd let him be my Alpha in about a second.

Stiles: The Comedy 
Now this is what I call adorkable. In between helping the werewolf community Stiles is a dependable giggle-maker through his sarcasm, bromances with Scott and Derek, and awkward/heartwarming attempts to win over Lydia. I never thought the day would come where I could compare a character to The OC's Seth Cohen...but ladies and gentlemen, the day is here. If you miss Seth, watch Stiles.

Allison: The Good Girl Gone Badass (but still good) 

What's better than dating a werewolf? Oh that's right, dating a werewolf and being able to fend off whatever mythical creature comes your way all by yourself. I love, love, Allison because her and Scott's relationship in no way involves Scott taking care of her. AND THAT ROCKS SO MUCH! Allison can use a bow as well as Legolas and Katniss. She actually seems like the sweetest girl on planet Earth, which is weird since she once in a miscommunication stabbed one of my favorites, but somehow she makes it all work.

Lydia: The Sassy Genius 
Here's the thing about Lydia that sometimes gets to me: I actually wish I was her. She is so sassy and sometimes comes off as self-absorbed, but we all know she truly does care about her friends. She's also a total brainiac and pulls it off like it's no big deal. The poor girl is always dealing with some sort of psychotic break, but instead of letting her crazy moments define her she uses that high school as a damn catwalk. She also happens to be my fashion icon both on and off screen, everything she wears is just golden.

Derek Hale: The Bad Boy 
....what was I saying? Tyler Hoechlin? Oh, I mean, his character Derek Hale? Oh yeah how he was pressed up against me in my dream last night..? And then we---
Oh dang don't let me lose track here! So, Derek's my favorite. The brooding bad boy. Yum. But he doesn't have a family, Scott doesn't want to be in his pack, his uncle is psychotic, not to mention his ex-girlfriend...so he makes a new pack, right? Oh wait, he's taking teens who hated their life and guiding them as werewolves? So the soft side behind that sexy angered look starts to show...we know there's some fluff to ya Derek. Bad on the outside, soft on the inside, shirtless as often as possible? Yes on all three! Marry me.

Isaac: The Hurt Soul 
Isaac's past is so brutal that you can't wait for him to become friends with, well, anyone. His brotherly relationship with Derek is so adorable that it hurts, mainly because Isaac deserves a guiding figure after all of his family battles. And let me just say, Isaac is a very close second to Derek. Very. Very. He doesn't smile too often, but when he does, you just want to jump up and down on the couch and scream, "Yes Isaac! YOU DESERVE THIS MOMET OF HAPPINESS!" And just a warning to those who haven't watched Season 3 Episode 4: It's hard to concentrate on anything Isaac says because you're too busy thinking about what you'd do to/with him if you saw him walking down the street in that cardigan. And I say again, yum.

Oh yeah, and then there's this other reason to watch: 
I mean, seasons one and two are on Netflix and all of season three so far is on mtv.com. I would really suggest either spending all day watching from start to finish, or if you're already a fan, just watching it all over again. After writing this that's kind of what I want to do...
