Steve Harrington
Steve Harrington was a popular jock at Hawkins High, who hung around with the bullies Carol and Tommy H. Initially coming off as a selfish douchebag, he revealed better character traits as he found a new group of peers. He was in a turbulent relationship with Nancy Wheeler for a year. Following their break up, Steve became a friend and mentor to the kids in The Party, especially Dustin Henderson, and aided them in their battles against The Upside Down and Soviet agents. Due to a poor GPA, Steve worked at Scoops Ahoy after college, where he made a long term friend in Robin Buckley, and the pair changed jobs to Family Video.
