Stephen

Stephen is a 14 year old orphaned boy, one of the four main protagonists of the Doraemon franchise and the cunningest, the most mischievous and the loyalest friend of them all. He is one of the oldest and iconic Doraemon characters, having been around since 1996.

Stephen’s animal counterpart is a green glider fox called Lightning Dash.

Personality
Stephen is a loyal, fun-loving, mischievous and cheeky kid. He loves annoying people and making them mad, then he just runs away laughing like a hyena. To this day many people have discovered how to get him to stop bothering you: completely ignore him. Stephen has a short attention span and gets bored easily.

He is a huge comic book fan and nearly always has one in his pocket, all scrunched up. According to him he has exactly 282 comic books, which is ridiculously less as the actual amount would be over a thousand.

A number of people appear to dislike Stephen a lot because of his arrogant and careless attitude, and some call him names like jerk and stupid. Not that Stephen cares, he's also carefree and most of the time does what he likes. Sometimes when he goes too far, he isn't at all afraid of apologising or admitting his mistake, and takes full responsibility for whatever problem he caused.

His brother Sammy appears to have inherited a lot of traits from him, though Stephen is not at all as naive, innocent, and ADHD-affected like Sammy.

Physical appearance
Stephen is an average-heighted, lanky and EXTREMELY skinny boy with skinny arms, skinny legs, skinny everything. He has stravy black hair that sticks out in points at the end, and bright green wicked eyes that are always darting here and there. Suneo's face is somewhat pale, giving him an even more mischievous and up-to-no-good look.

Stephen is nearly always dressed in a green T-shirt, yellow shorts and yellow shoes. The T-shirt sometimes has a yellow 'S' on it. Stephen is also seen sometimes wearing a cap with an 'S' on it.

Animal counterpart
Stephen’s animal counterpart is a sly green glider fox called Lightning Dash, but they are sometimes known to argue with each other and disgree on things. Dash's abrasiveness and somewhat hot temper contrast with Stephen’s don't-care attitude, and they tend to disagree and fight about little matters which they both want to take different approaches to. When not arguing they are usually on extremely good terms and often like to plan tricks and schemes together, laugh together and joke together. Dash also shares most other personality traits with Stephen; he is cunning, mischievous, cheeky, and also very loyal.

"Smirkeo"
Stephen is seen with a wicked look on his face, or seen smirking, so many darn times that the some of the fandom started calling him "Smirkeo" from mid-2015. Nowadays the name Smirkeo is nearly used by everyone as a joke, and it spread as an Internet meme too. It became so popular that the creators of the show have actually been known to sneak in certain references to Smirkeo in the episodes of the show, as a nod to the fandom.
