When it comes to Stephanie, giving is the epitome of her achieving happiness. As a definite people-pleaser, she strives to connect to people in all types of situations. Selflessness, she likes to think, is her middle name. She’s the type to keep track of everyone’s birthdays, remembers tiny details that are mentioned in passing, and springs them on you when you least expected. She likes to pay attention, and the closer you get to her and/or become, the more she cherishes and values you; Stephanie loves to spoil the people closest to her.
Stephanie loves to observe people: their mannerisms, expressions, words and behaviour. While she doesn’t think she’s an expert in body language, she does like to think that she is smart enough to at least get a better-than-general sense of how another person is feeling when she’s interacting with them. She loves socialising, and believes anyone and everyone has something to offer. Because she is one to pay more attention to people than anyone else typically would, she has been (and still is) popular with her peers, usually having a large circle of friends.
Like her mother, Stephanie is independent and free-spirited, but that doesn’t mean she blocks out everyone else. Rather, she embraces the opinions and thoughts of the people around her, and while she doesn’t like to admit it, how she is perceived by everyone does have some importance to her. She thrives off of the presence of others, which is probably why she hates long silences. She does need the approval and appreciation from others, whether she admits that or not.
Stephanie tries to be patient, and more often than not, she’s quite good at it, especially with other people. With herself, however, she’s found it’s not so easy; at times, she gets frustrated at her curiosity, which sometimes leads to her inability to focus on one thing at a time. Despite this, she does, however, have a strong sense of self, and does realise her self-worth (to an extent); a majority of the time, she is confident with who she is.
Though she takes pride in her ability to give and provide to others, this can lead to Stephanie sometimes forgetting to take care of herself, and so experiences low moments (emotionally-wise) every now and again. During these times, she’ll find herself feeling exhausted -- both in an emotional and physical sense -- and would usually distance herself from everything to gather herself again. Because of her love for giving, Stephanie can also have a tendency to overshare, or seem clingy and/or suffocating to those not used to her. She would also have difficulty in expressing her own needs, but wouldn’t have a problem catering to another’s.
Stephanie is careful, enthusiastic, and very encouraging and supportive of the people around her, and in particular, the people closest to her. She loves to pour out her soul to anyone willing to take a piece of it, and loves to put her heart into everything; there is no half-assing anything with her, whether that be a new hobby or a new relationship. She’s the kind of person who tries to make anyone and everyone as comfortable as possible, even if that means adapting and sacrificing her own needs for theirs.
