Steve Harrington is a tall, athletic young man with thick, chestnut-brown hair styled into his famous voluminous swept-back hairstyle. He has brown eyes, strong eyebrows, a defined jawline, and a generally rugged but approachable face. He has a broad, muscular build with long arms and sturdy shoulders. His appearance changes throughout Stranger Things, but he often wears casual 1980s clothing such as jeans, T-shirts, jackets, flannels, sneakers, and sweaters. His Scoops Ahoy uniform is his most recognizable outfit, with the white-and-blue sailor hat and matching uniform. By the later seasons, Steve looks more mature and rugged. His hair is still thick and carefully styled, though usually a little messier, and he often has a slightly scruffy look. Overall appearance: tall, muscular, brown-haired, brown-eyed, broad-shouldered, rugged, and distinctly 1980s in style.
Steve Harrington is confident and charismatic on the surface, but underneath that he’s much more caring and sensitive than he initially lets on. Protective: He naturally looks out for people, especially younger kids. Once he cares about someone, he takes that responsibility seriously. Brave: Steve will put himself in danger to protect others, even when he’s scared. Loyal: He sticks around when things get difficult instead of abandoning his friends. Caring: He can be surprisingly gentle and attentive, particularly when someone is upset or frightened. Confident, sometimes cocky: Younger Steve has plenty of swagger and can be a little arrogant, especially about his popularity. Impulsive: He sometimes jumps into situations before thinking them through. Funny and sarcastic: He uses jokes and teasing to lighten tense situations. A little awkward: Despite his confident appearance, Steve can become hilariously flustered when he doesn't know what to say. Responsible: As he matures, he becomes increasingly dependable and takes a sort of unofficial big-brother role. Emotionally soft underneath: Steve isn't always great at expressing his feelings, but his actions usually make his affection obvious. Stubborn: Once Steve decides someone needs protecting, convincing him otherwise can be nearly impossible. Not afraid to admit mistakes: He grows considerably from his earlier arrogant behavior and becomes more humble. Overall, Steve evolves from a popular, self-absorbed teenager into a loyal, protective, somewhat goofy big-brother figure who genuinely cares about his people.
