The Ladies of Teen Wolf

Continuing with the trend of badass Hale women, we bring to the front Cora Hale, Talia’s third (that we know of) child and Laura’s younger sister. Cora was thought to be dead for years after the fire, until suddenly cropping up in the claws of the “Alpha Pack”. She then went feral and tore a good chunk out of her brother, Derek’s hide. She was commonly seen butting heads with other members of the pack (especially token human Stiles), and trusted her Uncle more than her brother (why? Good question). Cora was as sassy as her Uncle with twice as much attitude, and with a dry and sometimes cold sense of humor.

Next, we take a look at little Erica Reyes. Erica is the first of the she-wolves in this article to be a bitten wolf, rather than a born one. At first, she is a small, shivering, pale, sickly girl with a mess of tangled blonde hair and dark circles under eyes, plus a lifetime of bullying because of her epilepsy. Cue Derek Hale, new Alpha in need of a pack, who starts biting teenagers left and right. Erica becomes Derek’s second Beta, after Isaac Lahey, and overnight is transformed into a blonde bombshell, with a new sense of style and hot-red lips. Hot Damn. The super-strength doesn’t hurt either.
