While battling the Oni demon warriors, Allison noticed her good friend Isaac being nearly killed by the Oni. She shifts her focus away from the battle to aim her arrow and rescue her friend. She successfully kills the demon, saving her friend's life. Distracted from the immediate danger surrounding her, seconds later an Oni plunges a sword into her stomach.
Throughout the series, Allison has proven to be a strong female character. Audiences are accustomed to seeing characters like Allison being defined by their male lead. However, her growth over the course of "Teen Wolf" has taken her from the main character's girlfriend to a main character in her own right. Once Allison discovered her family's secret as resident werewolf hunters, her character's focus shifted from her romantic relationship with Scott to struggling with her own beliefs, relationships and identity. After Allison's mother kills herself after being bitten by a werewolf, her relationship with Scott is too much to bare and she decides to end it. This is when Allison truly comes into her own. After rigorous archery training, she proves herself to be a valuable asset among her supernatural friends in their fight against evil forces. In the absence of her romantic relationship, Allison focuses her efforts on strengthening relationships with her father and her best friend Lydia. In fact, she and Lydia have passed the Bechdel test on numerous occasions. In the male-centered genre of Fantasy/Horror, Allison Argent is a strong, multidimensional character who will be missed by fans of "Teen Wolf".
