Background

Steffy, named after her paternal grandmother Stephanie, was born to Ridge Forrester and Taylor Hayes on September 21, 1999, along with her fraternal twin sister Phoebe who was born a few minutes after Steffy. Their mother suffered from tuberculosis during the pregnancy, but survived the complicated delivery. Steffy, who is older, is the more practical, logical and less emotional of the twins. She tends to think things through rather than acting on emotion.

In February 2001, Ridge and Taylor took the twíns and their older brother Thomas to Saint Thomas where they renewed their wedding vows. Later the family, along with the babysitter Catherine, took a boat trip, and two-year-old Steffy fell overboard during stormy weather and was presumed eaten by sharks. However, Steffy turned up weeks later at Morgan DeWitt's house. Morgan, an old flame of Ridge's who desperately wanted to have his child, had kidnapped her and was holding her captive. Taylor grew suspicious of Morgan and was shocked to discover Steffy in her house. As Taylor was about to take her daughter home, Morgan returned and held them both captive. Ridge eventually saved his wife and child by driving his car through Morgan's house as she was about to shoot Taylor. Morgan was eventually committed to a psychiatric institution.

While Steffy was away from home at London, she was unaware that her mother who had returned from the "dead" had begun drinking and one night she was so drunk that she ran over Darla Forrester, Steffy's uncle wife and Alexandria who is Steffy's cousin. She lied about it and Phoebe was scared for her mother going to jail so she lied about which made her guilty of obstruction of justice. When Taylor became clean with Thorne, Thorne was furious and Taylor went to jail. She pleaded guilty to all of her crimes for 2 reasons to give Thorne and Alexandria closure, and to make sure charges were not brought up on Phoebe. When Taylor was sentenced, Shane McGrath a witness to the accident testified for Taylor and she was let out on trial and Thorne forgave Taylor and testified for her in court leading to her being set free. When Thomas and Steffy found this out, They arrived back in town to support their mother. Ally (Alexandria) found out about Taylor killing Darla and hated her so much that she ripped her wedding gown when she was getting engaged to her father (Thorne.) Alexandria said she hated Taylor more than anything and didn't want her as a stepmother. Due to this, Thorne and Taylor broke off their engagement, and Ally was relieved. After that, Steffy and Phoebe were there for Ally to help her deal with her hatred of Taylor. Steffy loved Ally and she wanted to help her deal with those wounds. Taylor was grateful to Steffy for helping Ally with her hatred against Taylor. Ally's wounds started to heal and Steffy was glad, and later returned to London to continue her study, and later returned in June 2008.

Following the presumed death of her mother, Steffy and her sister returned to boarding school in London, England, where they had been previously on vacation. While Phoebe returned to Los Angeles in July 2006 to see her family, Steffy decided to stay overseas and graudate school with her final exams. In June 2008 however, she returned at her father's request, and started working in the shipping and receiving department of Forrester Creations, willed to work her way up the way her father did. On her first day, she met Donna Logan's son Marcus Walton and explained the personalities of all the Forresters not revealing her heritage to him. Eventually, Steffy was enlisted by her troublesome great-aunt, Pamela, to check into Marcus' background discovering that his mother is in fact Donna Logan. Steffy promises Marcus to keep his maternity a secret, but this conversation is overheard by her sister Phoebe. Phoebe later reveals this to their father. This has slightly strained relations between her, Phoebe and Ridge. Phoebe and Ridge insist that Steffy stay clear of Marcus, because his mother is Ridge's enemy but Steffy, for once acting on her own heart doesn't hold the fact that Donna is his mother against him.

Despite this, however, Steffy may find her loyalties divided once she discovers that her father, her Uncle Thorne and her Aunt Felicia were fired by her spiteful step-grandmother, Donna Forrester, acting as Eric's power of attorney. This could also change the relationship between Marcus and Steffy, as he is now her boss. Justifiably, Steffy was livid with Marcus over his mother's heavy-handed antics, although he is trying to convince her that he had no idea she was pulling the stunts that she was pulling. The two tried to find something incriminating on Owen Knight, Donna's new assistant, but they could find nothing. Steffy was understandably upset that Donna was pulling the strings at her family's company, but Marcus calmed her down with a kiss, their second as a couple. Marcus finally convinced Donna to fire the untrustworthy Owen, and in a celebritory mood, he and Steffy drove to the beach for a day of fun.
