Bypassing the point Davis wanted to explore Dylan's dramatic side as seen in The Maze Runner, Stiles is by definition a Trickster and is often underestimated by everyone. Stiles is one of those characters that appears to be less than average, unassuming and weak. (mind you this is only an estimation of the character, no facts) From Wolf Moon, Stiles lands on his feet after getting off the porch roof. Rather than a page full of episode examples, (hope I get this right) Stiles is athletic, might be a pick pocket or overall cat burglur, stubborn and determined and by all appearances, knows how to use power tools.

A long shot here: The episode where he tampered with the hospital wiring. That knowledge might have come from William Barrow.

Another way of looking at it: Scott is Huck Finn and Stiles is Tom Sawyer. Tom was forever getting into trouble.
