Steve's relationship with his father is strained with Stan often behaving judgmentally and intolerantly over Steve's nerdiness, immaturity and sensitivity. Steve possesses a keen, yet shallow and lustful interest in the opposite sex, though he has had an obese girlfriend, Debbie, to which Stan disapproved.
Steve is usually accompanied by his equally uncool friends: " Snot", Steve's closest friend with whom he shares a bromance, the two once even having shared in a kiss together (in the episode " License to Till") Toshi, who is an Asian American and only speaks Japanese and Barry, who is morbidly obese with an inarticulate, strident, and sloppy vocal quality. He is all too often a showman, always ready to put on a performance and show off his "talents", typically singing/dance wise. Despite his wimpy and nerdy characteristics, Steve is particularly conceited and obnoxious. As part of his emotional and sensitive character, Steve is combined with a screechy wail. In the official series, he's become emphasized as soft, emotional, cute and endearing. In the precursory pilot, Steve was also gawkier, scrawnier and voiced by Ricky Blitt (as opposed to Scott Grimes). In the official series, he is not presented as nerdy as he is in the show's unaired precursory pilot when his appearance, voice and manner greatly contrasted from what they would eventually become. Steve was 13 years old at the beginning of the show and is now 14 (technically should be 15 by timeline), placing Steve's year of birth around 1992, as the show first aired in 2005. Steve is portrayed as an enthusiastic, ambitious, and wimpy nerd. Steve is 85 pounds (39 kg) and around 4 ft 8 in (142 cm) which is really short even for his age. Steve Smith is the baby of the family, Stan and Francine's high-school aged son. Halfway through production, Grimes replaced Blitt and Steve's design was made to be more attractive, so he would be less comparable to Neil Goldman from Family Guy. Steve's original design was much geekier and gawky and he was voiced by Ricky Blitt. However, he has the strongest friendship with the family alien Roger, as they frequently go on wild adventures together. Steve only has 3 human geeky friends that always stand by his side no matter what crazy scenario is going on. He is Stan and Francine Smith's 14-year-old son and Hayley's younger brother as well as the youngest of the series' six main characters.
