== List Steff theories here. ==
These theories have since been [[Jossed]], but are kept here for posterity.
* My guess is ''some kind of sexually transmitted "[[Ranma One Half½|Spring of the Drowned Man]]" curse''. Okay, I know the only detail supporting this version over less insane forms is the protection discussion in [http://www.talesofmu.com/story/?p=81#more-81 Chapter 62], especially the line, "I’m just trying to think of everything I wish somebody had told me…" but what is [[Wild Mass Guessing/WMG|Wild Mass Guessing]] for if not insane theories?
* Alternatively, ''Steff is, in fact, a '''hermaphrodite''', but flat-chested enough to pass for a [[Wholesome Crossdresser|guy who looks a little too good in a dress]]''. What does Delia the Dark Elf have to say on the subject of Steff? "Your language doesn't have enough pronouns." Also, Steff tells Mack that (s)he doesn't care if she prefers boys or girls... This could be interpreted as him/her being neither/both.
** While this does appear to be Jossed, Dee's later comments still suggest that Steff herself may not be entirely aware of her true nature. While Steff is not a hermaphrodite in the classic sense (her genitals are definitely male) it seems that among the subterranean elves, ambiguous sex is more common than in humans (or perhaps just not stigmatized the same way). It may be that this is true of the surface elves as well, but that that (being both very young and half-human) no one ever explained this to Steff.
