Steven Turner, a 12-year-old with an assertive and rebellious nature, and a muscled and toned physique.

Steven's speech is characterized by military jargon, quick wit, and a self-assured tone, often using phrases like "poop in a group" and "cake eater." A natural prankster, his sense of humor can sometimes come off as mean.
Steven is outgoing, adventure-seeking, and challenge-oriented. Despite his positive traits, he can be aggressive and abrasive, always ensuring people know they're no better than him.

However, he struggles with domineering tendencies, impulsiveness, and discomfort in sharing his feelings.
