Appearance
Steve is a tall, lean pegasus stallion with a strong build, making him one of the most athletic ponies in town. His coat is a soft chestnut brown, while his mane and tail are thick, slightly unruly, and a deep coffee-brown — always giving off the impression of his signature “Farrah Fawcett” mane, even in pony form. His eyes are a striking hazel-green that reflect both confidence and hidden vulnerability.
His wings are powerful and broad, allowing him to both soar quickly and shield others beneath them. Steve often wears protective gear or casual jackets adapted to pony fashion, giving him the same “cool guy” vibe from his early days.

Personality
At first glance, Steve seems like the typical popular stallion: confident, charming, and with a knack for looking effortlessly cool. Early on, he plays into his reputation as a “cloud school heartthrob,” basking in attention. But as his story unfolds, his deeper qualities shine:
• Protective Big Brother Energy: Steve becomes the de facto guardian of the younger group (Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Max, and El), often acting more responsible than his own parents ever were. He develops a natural instinct to shield those around him, both physically with his wings and emotionally with reassurance.
• Loyal and Courageous: Once Steve commits to helping his friends, he never backs down — whether fighting Timberwolf-Beast hybrids, flying into danger, or standing his ground against corrupt magic.
• Clumsy but Brave: Steve isn’t always the sharpest in magical theory or strategy, but he makes up for it with determination and heart. He’ll throw himself into danger without hesitation if it means saving someone else.
• Growth Arc: He transitions from a self-centered, image-focused pegasus to a selfless, dependable role model.

Abilities
As a Pegasus pony, Steve has several natural and developed abilities:
1. Flight Mastery: While not as fast as professional Wonderbolts, Steve’s wings are strong and built for both offense and defense. He often uses aerial tricks to distract or lure enemies away from his friends.
2. Protective Shield Maneuver: Steve instinctively uses his wings as shields, curling them around others like barriers against corrupted magic blasts or physical attacks. This defensive flying style is rare among pegasi, marking him as unique.
3. Weather Manipulation: Basic Pegasus weather abilities, though Steve rarely uses them. (He once tried to impress Nancy by making a rainbow, but it turned into a messy thundercloud.)
4. Combat Adaptation: Armed with enchanted bats, wing blades, or simply his hooves, Steve has a knack for holding his own against magical beasts, even when outmatched.

Role in the Group

• With the Kids (Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Max, El): Steve has a strong “herd leader” bond with them. He is particularly close with Dustin (hippogriff/sea pony), who looks up to him like a big brother, and Max (griffin), who teases him but secretly appreciates his support.
• With the Adults (Hopper, Joyce, Murray): Steve often gets underestimated by the adults, but his bravery eventually earns their respect. Hopper especially sees him as a responsible stand-in for the kids’ safety.

Key Relationships
• Dustin Henderson (Hippogriff): His closest bond among the younger ones. Dustin sees Steve as a mentor, while Steve enjoys the admiration but also learns responsibility through it. They even invent “air/sea combo” maneuvers when Dustin uses his water form while Steve soars above.
• Nancy Wheeler (Unicorn Pony): His ex but also his anchor. Their relationship shifts into mutual respect and lingering affection. Nancy admires Steve’s growth from shallow to heroic.
• Robin Buckley (Unicorn Pony): His best friend. Robin balances Steve’s sometimes overconfident bravado with wit and realism. They share an unshakable platonic bond.
• Billy Hargrove (Griffin): Rival turned uneasy ally. Their clashes are explosive — Billy’s aggression vs. Steve’s defensive protectiveness — but in time, even Billy acknowledges Steve’s heart.
• The Kids: They’re his “flock.” Steve jokingly refers to himself as the “Foalsitter Supreme.”

Backstory (AU Twist)
Steve grew up in a wealthy Pegasus household but was often neglected by his parents, who spent more time in cloud palaces away from Hawkins than with him. This left Steve craving attention and validation, which fueled his early arrogance.
However, when the Mind Flayer’s shadow dragon magic began corrupting Hawkins, Steve was thrust into the fight alongside Nancy and Jonathan. Unlike others, he didn’t have magical unicorn spells or changeling tricks — just his wings, courage, and his bat. Proving himself in those battles gave him a new sense of purpose: protecting others.

Trivia
• Despite being a Pegasus, Steve is hilariously bad at cloud sculpting (his “sculptures” look like lumpy cotton).
• Known among the kids as “Mom Horse Steve,” though he pretends to hate the nickname.
• He secretly practices flying tricks when no one’s watching, trying to keep up with Wonderbolts standards, even though he insists he’s “not interested.”
• Once crashed into the Mayfield family’s griffin roost while trying to chase down Max — she never let him live it down.
• Carries a magically-enchanted spiked bat across his back like a knight’s sword, giving him both intimidation and comic flair.
