## Biography

Stevie is the fifth youngest of seven children, all boys. All the boys were encouraged by their parents to pursue wrestling by their father (who is from a long line of wrestlers). Stevie, however, has never been defeated. His natural talent and size, combined with his strict training schedule, make him the strongest 16 year old in his region (he is also stronger than his jealous, older brothers). His mother also encourages him to pursue other goals, though, such as opera singing. His singing voice is as strong as he is physically. He is torn between his two talents in regard to which he would like to pursue as a career and which college he would like to attend. Stevie is *extremely* self-conscious about his body hair, which is a result of his high testosterone levels.

Stevie joined Total Drama to help discover himself (so he can decide which career to pursue). He also wants to show the world how strong he is.

## Total Drama: Boney Island

Stevie was the final camper to arrive in Let the Games Begin... After You Meet the Campers, That Is. Quintin questioned that he was actually sixteen. Stevie produced his birth certificate as proof of his age. Before teams were chosen, in The Island of Screams, Stevie was offered an alliance by Zane which he simply shrugged off. When teams were announced, Stevie was on the Prehistoric Geese team along with Quintin. Quintin said in confessional that he felt it was unfair that Stevie was allowed on the show due to his bulk, but got over it when he saw that they were on the same team.

In Duels of Hazard, Stevie expressed his dislike for open showers after one was discovered on the map by Quintin. The other team was present when the Prehistoric Geese arrived at the shower. Stevie's self-consciousness made him make an excuse for not joining the other guys in the shower. At the dueling challenge, it was announced by Chris that Stevie would be the character that was "randomly" chosen to sit out due to the uneven teams. Stevie's team was still victorious.

In Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Woolly Beavers?, Stevie and Kendall went to gather food together. Stevie bragged about being the best wrestler in his region and how his brother lost his room in order for Stevie to get a trophy room. When Stevie asked Kendall if he thought that his brothers felt happy for his wrestling success, Kendall nodded vacantly. In confessional, Kendall said that Stevie was one of the most annoying people he'd ever met, and that he reminded him of his detested, athletic stepbrother. Stevie was unaware of Kendall's contempt for him, however. During the challenge, the teens had to catch Woolly Beavers. Grace mistook Stevie for a Woolly Beaver and Levi tried to capture him, until he realized his mistake.

In For Wetter or For Worse, Stevie further aggravated Kendall by bench pressing him. This made Stevie sweaty, so he headed to the shower, alone. When he arrived, the female members of the Screeching Spiders were there. They told him they were waiting for the guys to get done, so he stood with them outside in awkward silence. When the guys came out of the shower he went in. Stevie was the victim of sabotage in this chapter, along with Jerome and Lisa. Stevie's clothes were stolen while he was in the shower and he failed to arrive for the challenge. After the challenge, Quintin, Jerome, and Kendall checked the shower for Stevie. He told them what happened, and Quintin handed him his pants and Jerome's jacket to wear, instead. The clothes fit uncomfortably. Stevie was not eliminated in this chapter ad Quintin viewed Jerome's failure to compete in the challenge as worse, and he viewed Stevie as a bigger asset.

In Wheel of Misfortune, Stevie trained by punching a tree. Waterlily jumped on his back in order to make him stop hurting the tree. He stopped when she explained that he was hurting a living creature. She failed to forgive him when he apologized, however. Kendall viewed Stevie as a mindless jock after seeing him work out by punching the tree. The challenge required everyone to face the fears of the campers from Total Drama Island. Kendall and Stevie rose their hands to face Gwen's fear, together. When Kendall saw that Stevie rose his hand, he quickly put his hand down and said that he didn't want to be locked in an underground chamber with Stevie. Quintin forced the two boys to do the challenge, anyway. Stevie was hurt by Kendall not wanting to compete in the challenge with him, thinking they were friends. Stevie asked Kendall why he didn't want to compete with him. Kendall told him that it was because he had little personality and was only interested in sports like his father and stepbrother. Stevie reminded him that he wasn't Kendall's father or stepbrother and that he wasn't only interested in sports. When Stevie told Kendall that he was a talented opera singer, but felt pressured by his father to pursue wrestling. Kendall didn't believe that Stevie was into opera, until he sang for him. Kendall was very impressed, and they agreed to try to forget their differences and try to be friends. Kendall realized that he and Stevie were similarly pressured to be in sports by their fathers. Later, one of the teens were supposed to get a bad hair cut from a blindfolded Chris. Quintin said that it was too bad that Kendall couldn't volunteer, again, as his hair couldn't get any worse. Stevie quickly came to Kendall's defense.

In Dodgebrawl - A Fictional Underdog Story, Stevie found his stolen clothes when the team stopped at the shower. He knew they weren't there before, but was grateful to have his own clothes back. Stevie showed his athletic prowess in the dodge ball challenge. He also was hit in the stomach by dodge ball filled with rocks. The ball crumbled on impact, but left Stevie unharmed. In Welcome to the Jingle, Quintin slapped Tommy for referring to him as 'dude'. Lisa, Katrina, and Stevie volunteered to comfort Quintin when he walked into the woods. He confided in the three that his brother called him 'dude', and died in a motorcycle accident. The three teens promised friendship to Quintin. Stevie was again the victim of sabotage in the singing and songwriting challenge. A member of the opposing team tampered with the olive oil that was intended to aid the singer of the team, but when Stevie used the olive oil it left his voice scratchy, and he couldn't compete for his team. After losing the challenge due to the sabotage, Quintin took his new friends aside and asked if they wanted to be in an alliance. Lisa agreed as long as they didn't vote for Fiona. Quintin decided that Tommy should be the one to go. Katrina was unable to vote for Tommy, and Quintin was sent home, instead. This left Lisa and Stevie in shock.

Lisa attempted to make herself indispensable to her team by serving everyone during lunch but Stevie, who she didn't need to impress, in You Just Keep Me Hanging On. When they were walking in the forest to get water, Stevie confided in Kendall that he thought he was in danger of being voted out for being such a big physical threat with the merge coming soon. When they heard leaves rustling, the boys thought it was a Woolly Beaver. Kendall leaped into Stevie's arms for protection. It was actually Fiona. She leaped out and told them that they forgot the container for water. Stevie then left the two alone in order for them to bond, believing that, since Kendall didn't like him, Kendall and Fiona could also be friends. In the challenge, the teens had to hold themselves above the lake on a metal bar. Stevie gave up early as he had the most weight to hold up. When he fell into the water, the splash knocked Grace into the water. When the Prehistoric lost the challenge, Lisa targeted Stevie to be eliminated for being a threat. She had Fiona address the other teens, in her behalf. Kendall defended Stevie, without being asked, by pointing out that Lisa was a bigger threat in the challenges. This likely saved Stevie, as Lisa was the next contestant eliminated.

In The Come Back Kids, three eliminated campers returned to the game. Waterlily was one of the teens who returned. She apologized to Stevie for getting angry with him, earlier in the competition. In The Love Dingy, Chris implied that the teens would be paired in romantic duos to compete in the boating challenge. Stevie was paired with Zane. Zane protested, and assured everyone that he was attracted to girls. Chris then told him that they were paired because they were the only campers left. When Stevie tried to make conversation with Zane, Zane said he wasn't interested in Stevie. Stevie pointed out that they were paired only because they were the only two left, and there were more guys than girls. Zane apologized. They then talked about their hobbies, and Stevie and Zane discovered that they were both interested in opera. They finished first in the boat race, but Chris revealed that they would have to answer trivia questions about their teammate. Using the information they learned about each other, Stevie and Zane won this part of the challenge, receiving invincibility. Stevie received invincibility once again in Hit Me With Your Best Slingshot.

Stevie and Zane walked through the woods together, in Labyrinth, Repeat. As a way to thank Stevie for helping him get over his homophobia, Zane told him he had to get over his fear of public nudity. Zane thought to have Stevie streak through camp. After doing so, the other campers told Stevie and Zane that a Woolly Beaver had just run through camp. Zane laughed hysterically, knowing the truth, and Stevie kicked him in the shin. During the maze challenge, Stevie walked with Waterlily and Missy. Missy fell into a quicksand trap. Missy lost her cool and insulted Waterlily and Stevie. She apologized after they rescued her, and Stevie forgave her. When deciding who to vote out, Missy suggested Stevie as he was the strongest one left. Zane said that he didn't want to vote out Stevie. Quintin said that it was the best choice. After Zane left the conversation, Missy told Quintin why Zane was voted out the first time, starting too many alliances. After reminding Quintin about the last time he was back stabbed, she was able to convince Quintin to help vote out Zane. After being voted out, Zane said that he would rather be voted out than the more deserving Stevie.

In Gross Point Blech, Missy attempted to undermine Stevie's friendship with Kendall and Fiona by mentioning to him that he should be jealous. Stevie dismissed the notion and left the conversation feeling uncomfortable. The challenge required the contestants to eat bugs prepared in various ways. Stevie received invincibility by winning the challenge. During Canadian Roulette, Stevie informed Fiona and Kendall that the other campers might attempt to vote one of them out for being in a relationship. After returning to camp after the challenge, which Stevie won, Fiona pretended to be in love with Stevie, without his knowledge. Kendall also professed his love for Stevie, making him even more uncomfortable. He ran into the woods, and Fiona and Kendall chased after him. They then explained to Stevie that it was an attempt on their part to make it look like they were no longer a couple. The plan backfired as the others voted out Fiona because they believed that she broke Kendall's heart on national television.

Izzy made a guest appearance in Guess Who's Coming to Boney Island. She took over as host after explaining that Chris had an award show to host. She presented the campers with extremely dangerous challenges. Each time she described a challenge, Stevie had to prevent a depressed Kendall from taking part in it. Throughout Thanks for the Memorization, Stevie expressed that he was developing romantic feelings for Missy. Missy realized that Stevie was attracted to her, and used this to her advantage during the challenge. She flirted with him and distracted him, causing him to lose invincibility. Being vulnerable to the vote, Stevie was eliminated.

Stevie supported Katrina in Won for the Money. After Sabrina won, Stevie joined in on the celebration by placing Sabrina on his shoulder.

## After Total Drama: Boney Island

Stevie went on with his life, after Total Drama: Boney Island. He went on to college where he still couldn't decide what he wanted to do with his life, wrestling or singing. He tried to split his time evenly, but eventually dropped out of wrestling, when the pressure of possibly losing a match got to him. He retained his title of being undefeated at wrestling, but eventually went back to it and is still undefeated. Then, last summer, his brother Reeve invited Stevie to go visit his friend Al in Hawaii, after Celia was unable to join him at the last minute. Stevie and Al became friends as soon as they met, and Al's attitude toward life began to rub off on Stevie. After visiting the beach almost every day and taking things slow and easy, Stevie really enjoyed himself and forgot the pressures that he faced at home. When it was time to leave, Stevie realized that he didn't have to feel obligated to return home. He decided to drop out of college and take things easy. He now lives on a beach in Hawaii out of a compact car, where he spends most of his time lying on the beach or surfing, though he is isn't particularly good at surfing. Stevie also has become fairly comfortable with his body since his appearance on Total Drama: Boney Island.

Stevie was invited to compete on the first season of All-Stars, but was unable to, due to his demanding schedule. He always regretted not being able to participate, so with his schedule far less busy he jumped at the offer to compete, again.

## Total Drama: Best of the Best

Stevie was far more relaxed than he was on his first season. He took things easy, including the first two challenges. It was noted by some that he was their role model. Eduardo in particular was disappointed in Stevie, and expressed that disappointment to him. Stevie started to feel bad, but decided to take the second challenge more seriously. Stevie was then able to take on the challenge more seriously, winning it for his team. From then on, Stevie started to make things more seriously, again.

When the makeover challenge came around, Stevie was selected by his team to receive the makeover, which he didn't seem to care either way. While his makeover was dramatic and well received, his team lost the challenge. Stevie decided to stick with the makeover, though his beard and body hair grew back fairly quickly.

Stevie also found romance this season with Vanessa. The two tried their hardest not to offend each other, a sign of their mutual attraction. After a little romantic outing, the two contestants shared a kiss. The relationship had some setbacks, though, as Vanessa and Stevie neglected to pay attention to the challenge while flirting. Vanessa ended up getting eliminated.

Another aspect of Stevie's time on the show was his efforts to help his fellow competitors. He helped Joanna realize that she missed her children. Stevie helped Tsuyoshi realize that he was trying to make up for his loneliness by getting into relationships quickly. His longtime friend Zane also told Stevie about his tragic past, and Stevie attempted to help Zane heal in any way he could. Stevie also helped Doyce and Sebastian speak their differences out.

Stevie became a target after the merge since he was well liked by many contestants, in addition to his being a threat in challenges. Stevie excelled in a sports themed challenge, ending up in the top two of the challenge against Doyce. Stevie did well, as expected, but what was not expected was that Stevie lost the wrestling portion of the challenge to Doyce. Stevie accepted his defeat graciously, and assured Doyce that he deserved to win. Because he was viewed as a physical and social threat, Stevie was voted out.

## Total Drama: The Next Generation

Stevie appeared with Vanessa as a counselor for this series, though he went by the pseudonym of Mr. Armstrong. He and Vanessa were formally introduced to the contestants after Eddy’s near drowning to help them process the trauma. He also appeared as a villain in the escape room challenge and was thwarted by The Cool Cats. On a run, he came across Wolf and Andrea dumpster diving. He commended a barely clad Wolf for his body positivity. The pair mistook a shirtless Stevie for wearing a sweater.

For a challenge, Stevie and Vanessa held a therapy session with the remaining six contestants, divided into three pairs, Andrea and Wolf, Kirika and Tiffany, and Suzy and Yolanda. The contestants were being judged on their growth and being able to resolve conflict with their partner. Stevie and Vanessa were uneasy about this being viewed and judged as a challenge, however.

## Audition Tape

Stevie is shown in a wrestling match, where he comes off victorious. The film is edited to directly show Stevie talking to the camera, still in his wrestling gear. He says with his powerful speaking voice, "Hi. I'm Stevie. Maybe you heard of me? After all, I'm the best wrestler in my region." Stevie quickly looks down in an embarrassed way, "I'm sorry. I don't mean to brag." He looks up, again. "I think I might have a chance at winning your show since I get along with everyone. I also think I need to get away from here for a little while. You know, to clear my head, a little." Stevie smiles and waves at the camera as the tape ends.

## Trivia

* Stevie received eleven marshmallows, and placed sixth.
* The label of ‘The Powerhouse’ can refer to a strong person, or a powerful singer.
* Stevie won invincibility on an individual level four times in Boney Island. More than any other competitor.
* Stevie sang a verse of Vesti La Giubba from I Pagliacci.
* Stevie's character model and name are based on bodybuilder and actor, Steve Reeves. Most famous for his role as Hercules in a series of cheesy movies.[1]
* Stevie's original sketch was a little different. He looked taller and less barrel framed. The sketch was done before the author realized that Total Drama characters don't have noticeable forearms and biceps, even when they're supposed to be muscular. The sketch didn't look very similar to the Total Drama Island style, so he underwent quite a few changes, though the general appearance is the same.
* Stevie competed in a cage match against three other strong contestants in Forget the Titans, as part of the non-canon Total Fanfiction Crossover. He was the winner.
* Besides style changes, Stevie's updated image is more muscular looking. This is closer to how I originally imagined him, but his early image was constrained by my perception of what the height and width of the image had to be for the character box.
* Stevie was the thirteenth contestant voted out of Total Drama: Best of the Best. He received a total of seven marshmallows.
* While sporting a peaceful new personality, Stevie's updated image was inspired by a gladiator.
* Stevie's peaceful persona was never intended to last very long. This was meant to be unexpected. His peaceful persona was also meant to make it appear like he'd be an early out.
* I drew updated Stevie's image the day that "Macho Man" Randy Savage died, though I didn't realize it at the time. In tribute to him, I added a 'Macho Man' tattoo to Stevie's character image. His sleepwear resembles one of Randy Savage's early wrestling costumes, though unintentional.
* Stevie's clean shaven image was not meant to resemble Matt LeBlanc. Making that image was the first time I'd seen what was under all that hair.
* I thought that Stevie and Vanessa would make a cute couple, with Stevie being the outward epitomy of masculinity, and Vanessa being a feminist. I thought their personalities also meshed well, as Vanessa was in the process of trying not to come across as sexist, and Stevie tends to be pretty open minded in his views.
* Stevie lasted as long as he did so he could be present to psychoanalyze a lot of the contestants. I felt like it was a role that suited him, judging by the way he was able to resolve some issues on Total Drama: Boney Island.
* Stevie basically had prejudged Zane, writing off his homophobia as having no solid reason behind it. Zane didn't want to get into why he felt the way he did, and Stevie assumed he had no real reason behind his feelings.
