I was always of the opinion that the Nogitsune chose Stiles for a lot of different reasons.

One because as a human he would instinctively be protected by the pack which meant no one would want to hurt him and he would not be seen as a threat.

Scott: "There's a way to save him. There has to be."

Derek: "You think Stiles, skinny, defenceless Stiles, is the Nogitsune? A powerful dark spirit?"

Two because of the ritual he, Scott and Allison did to save their parents which left them open to a darkness.

Deaton: "It will also have an effect on the three of you. You won't be able to see it, but you'll feel it. Every day. For the rest of your lives."

Three, and the one I find most interesting, is because the Nogitsune wanted to stay hidden. It was still weak from being trapped by Yukimura so it wanted to bide it's time and build it's strength. It wanted to find itself a host that it wouldn't lose to the Oni too soon. In order to do this it had to make sure no one saw it coming (the pack or Yukimura) and who is the person who watches for threats more than anyone? Stiles.

Nogitsune: "And Stiles heard it like he hears everything."

Stiles was the planner most of the time and he kept everyone in mind. He was a perfect source of information and an all around great player to take off the board before anyone knew the Nogitsune was even among them. (Even with it taking Stiles out of the game Stiles was still the one to warn the others about himself.)

Ironically enough the thing that brought the Nogitsune's eventual end was when it also underestimated Stiles. It split them because it saw obtaining another powerful tool for his game as worth giving up it's first tool.

It thought gaining power of the Oni would win it the game and it was ultimately right. Once it had control over them it became an almost unstoppable force and by the time the pack (Allison) figured out how to properly deal with them the damage had been too wide spread for them to truly come back from so easily. To come back from without a lot more deaths. (The hospital, the Sheriff's Station, etc) It was a move that should have won the game for the Nogitsune but it neglected to really consider one key fact, a fact that no doubt countless people neglected to consider, and that was that Stiles was a threat too even if he was only human.

Because who figured out how to kill the Oni? Who took away the Nogitsune's biggest player on the board?

Stiles.

And if the Nogitsune hadn't gotten arrogant or so caught up in winning the game as soon as possible then maybe it would have won. If it had been patient and kept control over Stiles instead of splitting them then Stiles wouldn't have been able to figure out how to defeat the Oni and they wouldn't have been able to kill it (trap it again).

But it didn't do that and in the end Stiles proved yet again that you don't need to be supernatural in order to kick ass.

Hey guys! As a writer myself, it’s hard to have a lot of resources for writing in one place. That’s why I decided to create this masterpost, and maybe make more if I find future resources. I hope you like it, and expect to see more masterposts like this in the future!
