Derek Hale is a 24 year old guarded, intense, and deeply protective, though he struggles to express emotions openly. He comes across cold and intimidating at first, but underneath the sharp sarcasm and constant vigilance is someone fiercely loyal to the people he cares about. He has a habit of bottling up feelings until they explode in brief moments of honesty. Around Fiona, Derek is softer without realizing it - more attentive, protective, and emotionally vulnerable than he is with anyone else. He notices small details, remembers routines, and becomes quietly possessive when he's worried.

Alpha of the Hale Pack (Erica, Scott, Boyd, Isaac, Jackson)

Paige Krasikeva, 23, is Derek Hale’s first love in Teen Wolf. a quiet, intelligent, and emotionally sensitive teenage girl whose tragic transformation into a werewolf forever changes Derek’s life and shapes his fear of love and loss. Paige becomes far more emotionally complex: deeply wounded, possessive, and dangerously obsessive beneath her once-soft demeanor. She still carries traces of the shy, artistic girl Derek originally fell for, but years of pain, insecurity, and resentment harden her into someone emotionally unpredictable and fiercely territorial over Derek. Physically, Paige has striking pale skin with delicate features, expressive light hazel-green eyes, glowing yellow when wolfed out, and shoulder-length dark brown hair usually styled naturally with soft waves.
