Steve (Blue's Clues)

Steven "Steve" is the main protagonist for the first four seasons of Blue's Clues. He 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 and a math class. In the Blue's Clues reboot, Blue's Clues & You (which takes place years after Steve graduated college), Steve is a detective at Blue Prints Detective Agency (named after the original series' 1995 test pilot).
==Looks==
Steve has dark brown hair, a long-sleeved 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 and became bald, as revealed in Blue’s Clues and You. However, in "The Wrong Shirt", Steve wore a long-sleeved light brown shirt and green striped pants, which are the shirt and pants colors of his normal outfit reversed.
==Appearances==
Steve had appeared in every episode of Blue's Clues from Season 1 to 4 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. He and Joe also guest star in the Blue's Clues reboot, Blue's Clues & You!.
==Evolution of Steve's Voices==
*Early Season 1: Steve's voice is more of a higher pitched, exciting and cheerful voice.
*Mid Season 1-Season 2: Steve's voice starts to sound even more friendly and a little high pitched, starting in A Snowy Day.
*Season 3-4: Just like Season 2, his voice is still friendly but it becomes low pitched now, even though his Season 2 voice can still be heard in Blue's Big Pajama Party and a few episodes.
