An In-Depth Look at the Life of Steve from Blue's Clues

Anyone who's watched Blue's Clues knows that Steve is brilliant. But no-one really knows where he came from or who he really is. 

Until now. 

Steve's story starts with the Greek gods. The Greek gods, as you may already know, live on Mount Olympus in the clouds. 

In the opening scene of Mary Poppins, we see Mary Poppins putting on her makeup while sitting on a cloud. That cloud was, in fact, a part of Mount Olympus, which means that Mary Poppins is actually a goddess who takes human form in order to go down to Earth and nanny children. 

One of Mary Poppins's powers, as a goddess, is that she can jump into pictures. This is a gift which Steve also has, which means that he is somehow related to Mary Poppins. Our best guess is that Steve is Mary Poppins's son. However, he isn't fully a god, because he doesn't live on Mount Olympus like Mary Poppins, which means that Mary Poppins gave birth to him after she married a human (probably Bert). 

If you watch Blues Clues, then you know that Steve lives in a small house inhabited by inanimate objects which can move and speak, such as Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, the Felt Friends, etc. These inanimate animate objects are a bit like Lumiere and Cogsworth and everyone from Beauty and the Beast. 

So here's what happened: The house Steve lives in was once inhabited by a beautiful but selfish and proud princess with many servants. Steve came along one day looking for shelter and to test the princesses character. He disguised himself as an old, ugly man, and knocked on the door. The princess opened the door and turned Steve away, because he was old and ugly. But then, Steve turned into a handsome man, donned in his magnificent green-striped vestments. As a demigod, Steve has certain powers, so he was able to turn the princess into an old hag and her servants into talking objects. He then gave her a rose and told her that unless she found love by the time the rose had completely wilted, she would remain a hag forever. 

The princess-hag failed. This meant that all her servants would remain inanimate animate objects forever. The princess-hag eventually died, but the servants lived on, because they were no longer made of flesh and blood and what-not. Steve, being a kindly demigod, decided to move into the little house with his dog Blue, whom the gods had bestowed upon him as a gift, and the two of them would keep the servants company in their despair. 

That is what Steve did. And it reveals another thing about his background: Steve had the same power as the Enchantress from Beauty and the Beast, which means that he was some relation of hers. Presumably, she was his sister and the two of them, along with Joe, were the children of Mary Poppins. 

The question has arisen of why a princess would live in a little house like the one in Blue's Clues, rather than a castle. But, as you probably know, there have been many stories of princesses living in small cottages, like Snow White and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. Snow White lived with seven dwarfs, but Aurora lived with three fairies, who could not be turned into inanimate objects, so our best guess is that the princess whom Steve turned into a hag was Snow White, because no other record of a princess living in a small cottage has been discovered. Snow White's Prince existed, but he was only fond of her because he was an old flame of hers, so he wrote the story with her and the apple for old time's sake, and out of wishful thinking. 

After several years on Blue's Clues, Steve has lived out his time and the gods have made him into a constellation in the sky, and his inferior brother Joe has taken charge of Blue's Clues.
