It's time to meet the new girl!

Though we're still knee-deep in drama during Teen Wolf's season 3A, we've got our hands on new character coming to the series that is sure to make the wait for season 3B's premiere even more torturous. We've exclusively learned that Arden Cho will be joining the MTV hit series in a very heavy recurring role for multiple episodes when season 3B kicks off on Jan. 6, 2014.

A new student at Beacon Hills High who is of Korean and Japanese descent, Cho's yet-to-be-named character's arrival to town brings a unique new history and a new threat steeped in Asian mythology to Teen Wolf. Translation: She'll be a pretty big deal in season 3B!

During Teen Wolf's panel at Comic-Con, executive producer Jeff Davis revealed that season 3B will have "a heavy Asian influence," one that he's "excited" will take the show in a new direction.

"We're heading into a new mythology based on the Kitsune myth, which some people might know a little bit about," he shared. "It is a very, very fascinating Japanese shapeshifter myth about the were-fox and the trickster spirit."

Cho has made guest appearances on Pretty Little Liars and Rizzoli & Isles.

Teen Wolf airs Monday at 10 p.m. on MTV.
