During the Attitude Era, Stephanie McMahon's character evolved from a sweet, innocent daughter of Vince McMahon to a manipulative, power-hungry figure in the WWE universe. Initially appearing as a naive, sheltered individual, she quickly became entangled in the drama and power struggles of the McMahon family, often playing a pivotal role in storylines that involved deceit, betrayal, and control. Stephanie's character embraced a ruthless, calculating persona, aligning herself with various heels (villains) while wielding her family’s wealth and authority to manipulate others. Her on-screen persona also embraced a more glamorous and seductive style, using her beauty and charm to assert dominance in the male-dominated world of wrestling. This transformation helped solidify her as both a central figure in the WWE narrative and a key antagonist during the era.
