Personality[]
Stevie is a practical joker, slightly mischevious, who thinks up some of the craziest plans. In "Trail Ride Part 1" she puts a fake spider near Veronica (who freaks out and she tries to get her back by throwing an apple at her and missed and got her back by pushing her into the water when they met Phil). In another episode, she reads a book called 101 Practical Jokes and plays so many jokes on her friends (and enemies, of course) that they play another trick back on her. Stevie can sometimes be stubborn, mostly to veronica and Kristi. Stevie is decisive in everything she does. This makes her a determined rider, but also quick to judge and to argue.
Even though she is a tomboy, Stevie does have girly-girl moments, especially around boys. For example, in the episode "Love Is In the Air", Phil Marsten asks her out on a date, and Stevie freaks out about what she's going to wear and how she looks, almost ruining the date. In another episode ("Stevie's Bad Day"), she agonizes so much over a pimple that she puts herself and Belle in danger when she doesn't wear her helmet and injures her head.
Stevie began riding when she was eight. She is the least serious of the three and the most disorganized. Stevie dropped her given name, Stephanie, almost before she could talk and has always been a bit tomboyish. Now being uncomfortable with the activities other girls of her age do, but at the same time getting tired of being "one of the boys," one thing remains: her love of horses. She excels at practical jokes, one of which is her first interaction with Lisa. Ironically, one of her strongest skills is dressage, a precise type of riding that requires great subtlety and poise. Stable owner, Max Regnery, selected her as the best overall junior rider in Super Edition #3, Western Star. She is the only one who has a steady boyfriend, Phil. Stevie is the only girl in her family, and her feuds with her brothers are a major element of most of the series; her brothers love to tease her about Phil.
