1) Stiles - Stiles is simultaneously in way over his head, yet possibly the most together character on the show (when not possessed by a Japanese demon summoned by his BFF's new arm candy way back during WWII). He is equally useful as anybody's sidekick, or operating on his own. He can also deliver the most insane statements, in full awareness of how insane they sound, in complete seriousness. Unfailingly loyal, he is the kind of person who will risk his life trying to keep his paralyzed best frenemy from drowning in pool while stalked by a lizard monster. Stiles is the Castiel of Beacon Hills.

2) Derek. The Dean Winchester of Beacon Hills (and yes, I know this comparison parallels two very popular slash ships). Derek is a true hero in that he has absolutely nothing to gain by sticking around town. Unlike the kids, he is not a minor in the custody of a parent. His family (except for his creepy-devil-in-a-v-neck uncle who once rammed his entire forearm through Derek's gut) are gone. The closest he has to friends are Stiles and Scott. The rest of the town cares nothing for him. Yet he stays and protects it. At great personal cost and with a lot of literal blood, sweat and tears he protects it. Derek is the most selfless character on the show.
