Your good taste is someone else's awful clothes, after all. I'm all for letting the kids experiment as much as they like. Besides, they're kids. Who really cares what they're wearing as long as they're comfortable and dressed weather-appropriately

The problem with this character changing his personalities is that I've written two sequels. Luckily, they are from his love interests POV, and Steven doesn't come across nearly as angsty as he is/was. But I think I'll like him better, too. And I'll need to rewrite the sequels away

Ah, damn. That is a problem. My character's from a trilogy, but since the whole damn thing needs rewriting on an epic scale, it really doesn't matter. He can evolve all he likes since there's very little that's going to stay the same beyond the basic plot. Every scene needs work, which is why it's going to take me a million years...
A long attention span, patience, intelligence, and the power to do what they like?
Chessmaster! :D But that sounds like a real evil genius to me, as opposed to all the so-called evil geniuses in fiction that aren't actually genuises... Power to do what they want might not be a prerequesite as that usually evolves hand in hand with the ability to plot long scale - a real chessmaster knows how to work whatever situation to get whatever they want over the long-term. I'd say a good imagination and the ability to understand/manipulate the people around, but both of those might also come under 'intelligence'. There's many different ypes of intelligence, though

I have a few stories with only smiles, but when i read them again I find all sorts of places for grins. A smile can be only on you lips. It can be a happy smile or a polite smile or a sad smile, etc., but a grin is when the joy (or madness) bursts out of you and it shows not just across your face but in your posture.
A smile can be faked, but a fake grin is just a smile.

when said boyfriend gave them gold glitter hair gel, bite-sized cheesecakes, and earrings they were distracted enough that they let him by.
That sounds so whimsical and random. Like it!
Hah, that reaction's so pragmatic and simple. I thought there'd more emotion involved, but that makes sense, I think.
They would grin.
Run for the hills while you still can! Grinning is dangerous...

Definitely fun! But the sort of fun where anything could happen, so you'd better be prepared for the craziness.
(I'm trying to think of anyone, real or fictional, who grins, but isn't at least slightly threateningly-crazy on occassion...)
