we know cora was created to replace erica, but a lot of fans do believe that malia was also created after adelaide left to replace cora. there are also theory amongst fans that malia storyline (being the child peter never knew he had) was supposed to be jackson's. the thing about stiles,

i agree that cora was meant to be his romantic interest - tptb liked the dynamic between derek/stiles, but didnt want to make it happen, because heteronormativity, so they created a female version of derek, and malia is exactly that, plus "feral".
