about stiles stilinski;

1. What do you know about this character that he doesn't already know?
Maybe it's more of a "he doesn't believe", but he's incredibly, incredibly brave. Stiles refuses to see himself as anything even close to heroic, but the fact that he's willing to throw himself into the fray as the only human with a lack of supernatural, well, anything, says miles and miles about him. He's got a huge potential for so many things, but he spends most of his time knocking himself down.

2. What is your character's greatest flaw?
Despite what I said up there? He's a cynic, and more likely to save his own skin than to save someone else's--look at the end of Season 2, with Boyd and Erica. Scott never would have done that. Ever. He also has zero control in a lot of different ways, and if he keeps talking shit to the enemies who are bigger and badder than him, one of them is going to kill him.

3. What do you know about this character that he'd never admit?
A part of him regrets not saying yes to Peter.

4. What is this character's greatest asset?
He's so, so, so intelligent. And it's not just booksmarts, either. It's the ability to absorb information lightning quick, to be able to apply it in real life. He's clever and quick and that gets him places.

5. If your character could choose a different identity, who would he be?
~~Batman.~~ Scott. Kinder, more empathetic, a hero.

6. What music does this character sing when no one else is around?
SHE WEARS SHORT SKIRTS I WEAR T-SHIRTS

7. In what, or whom, does your character have the greatest faith?
Scott, and his dad. Scott can do some shitty things sometimes, but that doesn't change a thing about it. He's got a good head on his shoulders--and he makes the right decisions. Although, hell, if Scott made a wrong decision, Stiles'd probably still back him. Tell him he's an idiot? But still back him.

8. What is your character's favorite movie?
Fight Club.

9. Does this character have a favorite article of clothing? Favorite shoes?
His Support Single Moms t-shirt is his favorite shirt (and he was so mad when Derek ripped it at Ruby City), and his red shoes, because they're really cool.

10. Name this character's favorite person.
SCOTT MCCALL (And also Lydia.)

11. Does this character have a vice?
Adderall? I feel like that counts. Okay, no, it's probably staying up till asso'clock playing video games and drinking mountain dew and eating shitloads of junkfood.

12. What is this character's secret wish?
To be useful.

13. What is this character's proudest achievment?
Probably scoring three goals in that lacrosse game, tbh. And connecting Kate Argent to the Hale house fire.

14. Describe this character's most embarrassing moment:
Talking to Lydia while she had a bluetooth in was pretty bad. And tripping over himself trying to give Lydia his jacket. And, actually, pretty much every moment of his life that's involved Lydia.

I also have headcanon that he and Scott got their tongues stuck to the same frozen pole in fourth grade. There are pictures of it hanging up in both the McCall and Stilinski houses.

15. What is this character's deepest regret?
Not being able to tell his dad anything. Lying to him. Not spending enough time with his mother before she died.
