History: Isaac on Teen Wolf wiki.

Personality:

"I didn't come to fight. I came to win."

Study after study will show you that children who came from abused homes either go one of two ways. They either become abusers themselves, or they fight with all of their being to be nothing like the person who abused them. Isaac falls into the later category - once a victim, now he's a protector. Not only of his pack, but of the people all around him. He takes that role very seriously - because no one protected him when he needed it the most and he does not want any one else to feel abandoned. Especially by him.

From that, also came the will to fight back. He survived for years as the victim of his father's abuse, until Derek came along and gave him the opportunity to be able to stand up to his father. That didn't turn out how he expected, cementing in his mind that he needed to stop running away from his problems, otherwise things could get a lot worse. The backslide of that was that because Isaac had the same stubborn nature as his father and his brother were concerned, so he will never back down from a fight. Even though it could lead to his own death.

"Well, I'm kinda bummed about being a murder suspect, but otherwise, I'm good."

Isaac is not someone who lets people see how emotionally vulnerable he is. He tries to play off any sort of emotional trauma by either making a sarcastic, dry comment about it, or downplaying it to the point of non-existence. For example, no one at school knew he had been abused - they thought he was just quiet. He was able to lie about the black eyes, the bruises by covering it with lacrosse. It was a little harder later on to cover having bruises disappear because of his healing ability, but he was already comfortable in deflecting.

He never wants to be seen as a victim, which is why he won't talk about the abuse, and he won't talk about the psychological effect it had on him. Perfect example of this - his claustrophobia. It is so extreme that even being trapped in a closet with Allison triggered it, but all he mentioned to her about it was, 'I don't really like small spaces'. His fear of being seen as weak overcame his fear of small places, until he was actually trapped within in. Afterwards, when he hurt her because the panic had been too great, he was absolutely contrite, apologizing, even though earlier he had been angry with her for stabbing him twenty times with knives - or Chinese finger daggers.

"She told me to come back when my bike had an engine, not a chain."

Isaac would have to say that his love life before the bite was something close to non-existent. He managed to squeak in a few dates past his father, but they were few and far between. He, like any red-blooded male at Beacon Hills, had a crush on Lydia Martin. He worked up the nerve to ask her out, only to be rejected because he rode a ten-speed, and not a Harley. Honestly, it would have been hard for him to get close to someone without revealing what was happening at home.

After the bite, and after his father died, however, was an entirely different matter. Isaac spent the first few months of his change completely cutting loose and that showed in his relationships. He and Erica tore a swath through Beacon Hills available talent, but it was purely physical. Nothing solid, nothing concrete. Nothing real.

In fact, the first person he really felt something for would have been Scott, who in a single moment shattered all of Isaac's preconceptions of him, when the other wolf touched his arm and told him to be careful, because he didn't want him to get hurt. From that point on, Isaac fostered a silent man!crush on the other boy, and he trusted him where he trusted so few before. He respected Scott, trusted him, and when he was kicked out by Derek, Scott was the one he turned to for help.

Something that became a strain on him in a different direction, when he found himself starting to have feelings for Allison. It wasn't something he wanted, or expected. He just looked up at her over a motorcycle, after nearly biting her head off both figuratively and literally, and there it was. That spark, that feeling. She cared what he thought of her, and he ... suddenly did not think that was such a bad thing.

So caught between the couple that he both wants and wants to be wanted by, in turn, is a difficult place for him. It's important to him to care for someone, and to know that someone cares about him as much in turn. Less as an object, like his father (and he feels Derek did) and more like his own individual person. With Scott and Allison both going out of their way to make him feel that exact way, he finds himself torn between his respect for Scott and his real crush on Allison. He feels guilty, even though he hasn't done anything to earn that guilt.

" The full moon's coming. The sheriff and Melissa are going to be dead, so I'm going to help them. You can sit here and perfect the art of doing nothing."

Long gone is the lost little boy that Derek Hale found in a grave, and offered the chance to change his fate. Isaac's gone beyond being scared of dying at his father's hands, gone beyond the wild and unpredictably angry young werewolf who was out to prove himself through force alone. He's gone through the fire, and come through the other side. Stronger, more confident and more settled. He knows who he is now - someone loyal, someone who can stand up when no one else will. Someone who can hold the line, even if it is crushing down on him. This wolf will take whatever the world throws at him, and face it down. He's a hero, and he knows it.

Powers/Abilities: Isaac has all the abilities of a werewolf from his canon - he takes on a bestial appearance with increased strength, agility, and speed. He growls claws that he can use for slashing at his opponents, and he has fangs that he can bite with. He also has the werewolf ability to heal quickly, and has stronger hearing and eyesight.

He played lacrosse before the changed, and unlike Stiles and Scott did not ride the bench, not to mention running track. This is what makes him the fastest werewolf in Beacon Hills.

Isaac is also fluent in French, and picks up foreign languages quickly. While he isn't as gregarious as Stiles, he still has the ability to get to the heart of the matter, with a few well placed words.

Appearance:

Isaac tops off as the tallest werewolf in Beacon Hills at a lanky 6'1. He's got curly, dirty-blonde hair looks constantly mussed, mostly because he puts his hands through it when he's upset or stressed. Beyond that, he's a blue-eyed pretty boy, who prefers cardigan sweaters and skinny jeans, along with v-necked shirts.
