Most the information on this page is about Stan's personality and role in the Threadbare South Park fanfictions. For more canon information on Stan, visit his page on the South Park Archives.
==Personality==
Much like in the canon series, Stan is portrayed in TSP fanfictions as rational and cynical, but still caring and empathetic. He is not above petty squabbles with his friends, but he doesn't tend to let these fights destroy his relationships.
===Toolshed===
Stan is a member of the elite superhero crime-fighting syndicate Coon & Friends. His alter-ego is Toolshed, who has the power to mentally control all power tools.
==Non-Canonical Relationships==
===Charlie Pierzynski===
Charlie lives with the Marsh family after her mother is arrested, so she and Stan spend a lot of time together. Over time, the two come to act like somewhat like siblings.
When they first meet, Stan and Charlie are somewhat indifferent towards each other. However, after living together for a few weeks, they become good friends. They enjoy tormenting Shelly and watching T.V. together, and Stan gradually allows Charlie to become part of the group.
While Stan sees Charlie as a friend and pseudo-sister and believes her to be a decent person, he does not necessarily think of her as his social equal. He considers her to be one of the unpopular kids (as he tells Kyle in "One of the Girls"). He doesn't spend time alone with her outside of the house. He may or may not consider her to be one of his best friends; when Charlie says she's glad to be able to spend more time with her "real friends" in "Girl Scout Cookies," Stan doesn't initially realize she is referring to him and Kyle.
Despite this, he does genuinely care about her. At the end of "Project B," he promises to talk to his parents about letting Charlie stay with their family for longer. He is also very concerned about how she will react to the news of her brother's move to a new foster home, becoming irritable and even having a nightmare about how the incident might pan out. In the same episode, when Charlie becomes concerned that she is a nuisance to Stan and his friends, he assures her that she's "fun to hang out with" as long as she "doesn't act all girly or anything."
====Conflict====
The most serious conflict between Stan and Charlie occurs in "Sisters Suck". Stan is furious when he has to give Charlie his room and share with Shelley. To make matters worse, his parents act sympathetic towards Charlie, and she accidentally breaks one of his G.I. Joe toys. He becomes even angrier when he is grounded for yelling at Charlie about these issues. Ultimately, Charlie is switched to Shelley's room and Stan gets his old room back. After this conflict is resolved, the pair get along much better. In "Girl Scout Cookies," almost a year after the incident, Charlie buys him a new G.I. Joe action figure with the money she's made selling cookies.
===Davy Pierzynski===
On several occasions, Stan expresses disgust with Davy's baby behaviors, especially spitting up. In "Project B," he and Kyle both try to keep Child Protective Services from moving Davy to a new foster home. (Ultimately, they fail.)

Stan has appeared in every episode of Threadbare South Park to date.
