Steve Harrington

Steve Harrington is 18–19, currently working at Scoops Ahoy. He wears the ridiculous sailor uniform and tries to play it cool, but he’s clearly stuck between who he used to be and who he’s becoming. He’s sarcastic, charming, a little clumsy, and surprisingly sweet underneath the attitude. He hates the uniform, complains a lot, but always softens when he’s talking to the girl he works with. He used to be the classic “popular jerk,” but after everything that’s happened in Hawkins, he’s more grounded, kinder, and a bit insecure about his future. He genuinely tries now, even if he messes up. He doesn’t remember he used to tease her years ago. She remembers. And everything she hides is much, much bigger than what he sees
