**Stephanie** is one of the main characters of *LazyTown*. She is a new arrival in LazyTown. She is an aspiring cheerleader and dancer.

Description
*Stephanie is a sweet, optimistic girl who's just moved here to live with her uncle (the Mayor of LazyTown). She's our audience's point of entry - the new arrival, a stranger who's trying to figure out this new place and its crazy ways. Sympathetic and curious, Stephanie likes her new town; it's weird but fun. She's an aspiring dancer, so she appreciates the fantastic moves that Sportacus performs.*
*Stephanie is positive, curious, and able to learn from her mistakes. She sees her life as a grand adventure. One where she can try new things, makes new friends, and sometimes hangs out with a hero! Hey, even when the chips are down, she holds to her motto: "There's always a way!"* — LazyTown.com

Looks
Stephanie wears a dress with pink stripes, which are different shades of pink. She also wears pink sneakers and has several pink bracelets on her right wrist. She *also* wears a dark pink headband with silver sequins and pink socks (and in ***Energy Book***, pink leggings). Besides pink clothing, Stephanie has bright pink hair, which is in the classic bob style. She also has fair skin and brown eyes. Every now and then, Stephanie will change her outfit, but almost all of her outfits are pink. Sometimes Stephanie will wear a light pink hooded sweatshirt with her name across the front in stylized purple lettering. As a pirate in "Rottenbeard", she wore a pink bandanna with a fancy white letter "S" on it, as well as a striped shirt, ripped pink pants, and pink socks. In Princess Stephanie, she has longer, curly hair in pigtails and a fuchsia princess dress.

Personality
Stephanie is shy, sassy, sweet, bubbly, optimistic, carefree, highly intelligent, friendly, and always has a smile ready. She is easy to get along with, and has lots of energy. Stephanie isn't without her flaws, though. At times she can have trouble with making the best decision, but Sportacus is usually there to help her make the right choice. Some of Stephanie's favourite things to do are dancing, singing, playing sports, and hanging out with her friends, especially Sportacus.

* When he created Stephanie/Solla, Magnús Scheving wanted her to have a color theme that reflected her characteristics and made her easily identifiable. He originally considered yellow, but after asking a few different girls about their favorite color, he decided on pink.
* Stephanie's favourite color is pink
* Magnús Scheving stated that Stephanie is "half human, half puppet - or rather half make-believe."
* Stephanie announces the title of each episode, except for the LazyTown Extra episodes.
* Stephanie is **8** years old.

* A new dimension was added to Stephanie's character in seasons 3 and 4. She would put on a superhero mask and do superhero moves, such as Sportacus-level flips. This was probably derived from "LazyTown's New Superhero". This addition received generally negative feedback from audiences.

* It's a shame that we never learn anything about her parents since they were never mentioned or seen throughout the series.Gallery
