Stephanie is a sweet, optimistic girl who's just moved here to live with her uncle (the Mayor of LazyTown). She's our audience's point of entry - the new arrival, a stranger who's trying to figure out this new place and its crazy ways. Sympathetic and curious, Stephanie likes her new town; it's weird but fun. She's an aspiring dancer, so she appreciates the fantastic moves that Sportacus performs.
Stephanie is positive, curious, and able to learn from her mistakes. She sees her life as a grand adventure. One where she can try new things, makes new friends, and sometimes hangs out with a hero! Hey, even when the chips are down, she holds to her motto: "There's always a way!" — LazyTown.com
Looks
Stephanie wears a dress with pink stripes, which are different shades of pink. She also wears a dark pink headband with silver sequins and has several pink bracelets on her right wrist. She also wears blush pink tights, magenta slouch socks, and pink sneakers (and in Energy Book, pink leggings). Besides pink clothing, Stephanie has bright pink hair, which is in the classic bob style. She also has fair skin with slightly blushing cheeks and brown eyes with long, curled eyelashes. Every now and then, Stephanie will change her outfit, but almost all of her outfits are pink. Sometimes Stephanie will wear a light pink hooded sweatshirt with her name across the front in stylized purple lettering.
As a pirate in "Rottenbeard", she wore a pink bandanna with a fancy white letter "S" on it, as well as a a black vest with pink edges and pockets, a pink patch with a picture of a sailboat on her vest, a striped shirt, ripped pink pants, and pink socks.
In Princess Stephanie, she has longer, curly hair in pigtails and a fuchsia princess dress.
Personality
Stephanie is shy, sassy, kind, loving, compassionate, sweet, bubbly, optimistic, carefree, highly intelligent, friendly, fun-loving, and always has a smile ready. She is easy to get along with, and has lots of energy. Stephanie isn't without her flaws, though. At times she can have trouble with making the best decision, but Sportacus is usually there to help her make the right choice. Some of Stephanie's favorite things to do are dancing, singing, playing sports, and hanging out with her friends, especially Sportacus.

When he created Stephanie/Solla, Magnús Scheving wanted her to have a color theme that reflected her characteristics and made her easily identifiable. He originally considered yellow, but after asking a few different girls about their favorite color, he decided on pink.
Stephanie's favorite color is pink.
Magnús Scheving stated that Stephanie is "half human, half puppet - or rather half make-believe."

A new dimension was added to Stephanie's character in seasons 3 and 4. She would put on a superhero mask and do superhero moves, such as near-Sportacus-level flips. This was probably derived from "LazyTown's New Superhero". This addition received generally mixed feedback from audiences.
