Physical appearance
Stephanie was born a human, but became a cyborg gem and throughout the series had pure white skin with metal skin, glowing blue eyes under her normal eyes and circuits. Her blood was also blue, but after turning back to human, she lost all of these. Her hair is naturally blonde, but she always dyes it, prominently an orange/red/pink/purple/blue ombre colour, sometimes other colours, with a couple of accesories in it - a small tiara, a star, a cyan butterfly and a lilac headband with a pink heart. She has a pearl in her forehead and back, which she got after becoming a gem and still has them after being turned back into a human. She has light blue eyes, light purple eyeshadow, freckles and wears star earrings on her ears. Her normal outfit is a sleeveless denim jacket (formerly a coral hoodie), cyan glittery crop top with a red outlined yellow star on it, light orange jean shorts, pink socks and blue Converse All Star Chuck Taylor shoes with sparkly diamonds. She also has a white cap, light blue fingerless gloves, a pink Unisex Ice Watch, a pink and blue shiny ombre bracelet and pink fingernails. She also has a Mongolian birthmark on the back of her neck.

- It was revealed in The Weird World 4nale (Part 2) that Stephanie was one behind The Extraordinary Eleven's battles and she had been controlling The Water Wand to control many villains they fought in the past.
- This wasn't actually her fault however, since The Water Wand used The Black Saw of Death to make her act evil and this would cause her to control The Water Wand in an evil way without anyone noticing. The Water Wand did this to many humans so she'd hide her identity and have better chance of ruling the universe. And Stephanie hates The Water Wand for making her do this. It's what also causes most of her stress, as well as leading the team, thus causing her to act in different moods.

- The character was universally acclaimed by critics and named as one of Disney's best female characters. Praise went to her design, personality traits, cuteness, emotional and interesting backstory, powers and actions she's done throughout the franchise, especially in episodes like Nerves of Steel and Life of Time, the first film and the fourth and final film.
