Steve (Blue's Clues)

"Hi out there! It's me, Steve! Have you seen Blue, my puppy? (Kids: There she is!) Well, come on in!"

- Steve's intro

Steve is the deuteragonist of Blue's Clues for seasons 1-4. Steve is Blue's caregiver and Joe's older brother and mentor. Steve is always ready to play Blue's Clues and always needs the viewer(s), to help to figure out problems and find clues. Steve likes anything that is striped, like his shirt. Steve went to college on a hopscotch scholarship. He then became the captain of his Junior Varsity Hopscotch Team. He takes a science class, a writing class, an English class & a math class.

Looks
Steve has dark brown hair, a green striped shirt, light brown pants, dark brown shoes, or light tan shoes in some Season 3 episodes, and a black leather belt. In the first two seasons, he had medium length hair, but as time went on, his hair got shorter and shorter.

Appearances
Steve had appeared in every episode until Steve Goes to College. His role was taken over by Joe in the episodes after it. He later made an appearance in 100th Episode Celebration, and made a voice only appearance in Blue's First Holiday, his last appearance in the series.
