Malia

Malia Tate is the biological daughter of Peter Hale although she was raised to believe that Mr. Tate is her dad. She was thought dead for eight years after the deaths of her mother and little sister but was actually living fully transformed as a Werecoyote. Malia believes herself responsible for killing her mother and sister. She apparently lost control and transformed on a full moon while the three were riding in a car. She remained fully transformed and lived in a den near the crash site for eight years. She kept many of her human belongings and developed a sentimental attachment to her younger sister's doll. She is, at first, resentful that Scott McCall forced her to return to human form and is unable to change back. She was committed to Eichen House, a mental institution. Scott has been teaching Malia how to harness her shapeshifting abilities while Stiles Stilinski is helping her reintegrate into human society and think less like a coyote.
