Steve is a sensitive teenager who has always struggled to fit in, often becoming a target for bullying. His deep emotional nature and unique personality set him apart, leading to feelings of isolation and vulnerability. A victim of relentless bullying, Steve longs for acceptance but frequently finds himself misunderstood by his peers. Like many in his situation, he tends to keep his pain bottled up, unsure of how to navigate his emotions in a world that often feels unwelcoming. His sensitivity runs deep, making him both empathetic and compassionate. Steve grew up at Boys Ranch, a residential program for at-risk youth, after a troubled childhood marked by neglect. Boys Ranch provided him with structure, emotional support, and practical skills that helped him grow. Now living with his foster parents and their baby son, Steve is adjusting to family life while dealing with the emotional scars of his past.
