stephanie plum

Single young woman in Trenton, NJ who was raised by traditional, Roman Catholic parents but has a healthy libido nonetheless. On and off relationship with Joe Morelli, whom she's known since grade school, but finds it hard to resist Ranger as well. Half-Italian (mother's side) and half-Hungarian (father), college graduate with “no marketable skills” (according to her), so she works as a bail bondsman for cousin Vinnie. Pretty, slim, 5'7”, with curly, shoulder-length medium brown hair; said to resemble Julia Roberts on a down day (sans makeup). Goes through cars like water. Lives on her own but lived with her parents for awhile after college. Still has Friday night dinner in the burg with her parents and Grandma Mazur. Her mother despairs of Stephanie ever settling down. Dad is a retired postal employee; now drives a cab part-time.
