Debbie Patterson

An overweight goth girl that Steve asks out in "The American Dad After School Special." When she and Steve begin dating, it causes Stan to become anorexic. Steve breaks up with her after he realizes she was causing it, but they get back together when he realizes it did not help. Stan overcomes his problem at the end of the episode. Debbie later appears in "Iced, Iced Babies", though she reportedly breaks up with Steve by the end. She and Steve get back together in "Escape From Pearl Bailey". Steve gets Debbie to run for Student Council President against head cheerleader, Lisa Silver. Debbie loses when a slam page of her on the internet gets all over school. Steve, thinking that Lisa and her friends did it, gets revenge on them and when he tells Debbie, she breaks up with him. It later turns out that Steve's friends, Snot, Barry, and Toshi made the slam page and everyone in the entire school goes after them. They get caught by Debbie's clique, who tells them to let Steve go and makes up with him. She tries to get Steve to come with her, but he says he wants to stay by his friends. Debbie then lets them all go and run away, while she and the other goths distract the student body. Then in "Bar Mitzvah Shuffle" Debbie falls for Snot's bar mitzvah study buddy, Etan, because she says he's more mature than Steve. Steve then sabotages Etan's Bar Mitzvah, hoping to prove that Etan is less mature than she thinks he is. But Snot is blamed for the sabotage and is sent to court. Steve then bravely explains that he sabotaged the party but Debbie runs out of the courtroom.
