Personality: Scott is your typical ‘hero’ type, as well as your average teenager. As average as one can be with heightened senses and that whole pesky ‘wolf thing’ on the full moon. He’s extremely protective of his friends and those around him. He always wants and tries to do the right thing. Scott takes it upon himself to take responsibility for others, even if they hardly know eachother. Derek has pointed this out numerous times, though he didn’t quite seem to agree with the behavior.
He comes off as somewhat dense, but that is mostly due to his naïveté. His grades in school aren’t the best, but a lot of it has to do with being too distracted and missing tests. He’s made some bad choices where school is concerned; putting life or death before his grades would not be one of them.
Scott admits to Isaac that he has no idea what he’s doing—that he never knows what he’s doing. Despite this, it almost always seems to work out. He can think pretty quick on his feet, and has the luck to pull off most of what he does. The times he utterly falls on his face, someone like Derek, Stiles, or Isaac is there to catch him.
It’s often that his feelings for Allison get in the way of his better judgment. He is so in love with her, that when she’s at odds with his friends, he finds it impossible to choose. Fortunately, he hasn’t yet had to, as things have worked themselves out. He is known to respond violently when she is threatened. Scott engaged in a fight with Jackson when he walked in on the other teen confronting Allison in the boy’s locker room. Like any teenager, when his heart is broken, the world just ceases to exist in his eyes. Their first break-up caused him severe emotional distress, but when Allison breaks up with him in the end of Season Two, he doesn’t let it bother him because he is willing to wait for her.
His best friend Stiles is another top priority person in his life. Stilinski was there when he was bitten. It was their friendship and mischievous behavior that landed Scott in the woods at the time his would-be Alpha was roaming around. Even after finding out Scott was turning into a werewolf, Stiles was there for him. Albeit, somewhat timid about it at first, given Scott’s outbursts.
Even as the typical good guy, he has his moments where his actions are driven by something other than good intentions. During the full moon, Scott almost displays characteristics of a macho bully. During the full moon his aggression and desire are heightened, overtaking his normally kind and goodhearted personality. He is receptive to advances of the opposite sex, kissing Lydia when she hits on him and even antagonizing Stiles about it. Something he would normally never do.
Where Derek’s key to staying sane during the full moon is anger, Scott’s is love. This shows a lot about his character. Most view the bite as a gift, Scott sees it as a curse. His enhanced speed and strength are mostly only useful in protecting his friends and loved ones. These are the things that make Scott McCall, Scott McCall.
