Stacy Rowe is a student at Lawndale High, known there as the secretary for the Fashion Club. She was voiced by Jessica Zaino for the first five episodes of the series. After Jessica Zaino's departure, Sarah Drew took the role for the remainder of the series’ run.

Personality[]

Stacy Rowe can be described as the most insecure member of the Fashion Club, evidenced by the fact that she often hyperventilates, panics, and nervously will change her views, opinions or personality at whim in order to be accepted and stay popular among her peers. While she often has similar traits that the other fashion club members have, she does seem to be the sweetest and most innocent and naïve out of all the members.

Character Development[]

As she began recurring around, especially with the Fashion Club, Stacy Rowe developed into quirks of insecurity and hyperventilating neurosis. Examples of her behavior was her trademark reaction when she thought she wore stretch pants (Road Worrier), and continuous tears that elapsed for a whole day when blown off by Bret Strand (Fair Enough), in addition of runny mascara eyes. It portrays that she takes some minor, little things too seriously, even when it’d be minutes of ease to overcome.

According to Selective Soulmate, her interests include “aromatherapy, the tragic life and death of Margaux Hemingway, collecting fragile glass animals, assertiveness training” (that last one doesn’t seem to work). In Life in the Past Lane, she develops a fascination with magic, and in the finale film, Is It College Yet? she believes in curses.

Physical Appearance[]

Stacy Rowe is a teenage girl. Her build is slender and her brown hair is usually styled in two braids with the bangs kept back in hair clips. She typically wears a teal shirt with yellow trim, navy skirt that is above knee length, and shoes.

Quinn Morgendorffer[]

Out of the other girls in the Fashion Club, Quinn is the one Stacy obsesses over and pictures as an actual friend. She met and greeted Quinn, “You look cool!” on her first day in Lawndale. However, despite looking up to Quinn, Stacy is occasionally too overtly friendly and sycophantic for Quinn to handle. In Gifted, Sandi scares Quinn by trying to emulate her. She obsesses over her, wears a similar outfit to her, and insists that they dye their hair the same shade.

Tiffany & Stacy

Tiffany Blum-Deckler[]

They both share a quaint friendship and are usually in the middle of Quinn and Sandi’s arguments. Tiffany expressed annoyance towards her crying in Fair Enough. In Fat Like Me, Tiffany's self-absorption frustrated Stacy, causing her to have an angry outburst. They remain friends at the end of the episode.

FashionClub Daria (2)

Daria & Stacy

Daria Morgendorffer[]

Stacy and Daria have few meaningful interactions. Stacy sees Daria as a “complicated” human being, but is generally respectful towards her. Stacy was shown to be frightened by her in The Lawndale File.

Season 5[]

Several episodes in Season 5 had shown that Stacy had a confidence boost, and so, those assertiveness training sessions did work after all. She called Sandi naïve as Stacy assists Upchuck in a magic trick, where everything seems to turn for the worst. Her tears were just an act, as Upchuck finally got out of the locked and chained chest, appearing out of the blue in the audience (Life in the Past Lane). In "Fat Like Me", when Quinn was still with her and Tiffany, Stacy was more happy about Quinn as she’d always have been, and as Sandi returned from her weight issue and injury, Stacy boldly takes sides with Quinn, and so does Tiffany.

Is It College Yet?[]

As the Fashion Club decide to celebrate her birthday, Sandi mentions that herself and the others had dates on their birthdays, then snaps back at her as Stacy suggested to Quinn to work at the restaurant they were in that moment. Sandi then said in a mean-spirited tone before Stacy blew out the candles on her cake, "And don't worry, I'm sure that chocolate won't cause your sensitive skin to break out."

This is finalized Stacy's birthday wish, she wanted Sandi to shut up, although it didn't happen yet. Later, Sandi has contracted laryngitis, where the wish really came true and as she told the truth (if it really seemed reasonable), the tyrannical leader wrote on her notepad, calling Stacy a saboteur. Only once Stacy felt good about what happened, but focused again on curing Sandi's voice at least, through voodoo and magic. Despite failing at that (and almost poisoning Tiffany with one of the voodoo cures), Sandi became better, speaking once again; and attempted to get Stacy into doing a list of "chores" as an apology.

Stacy confidently presented herself with backbone once more, as quietly refusing to and decides to take a sabbatical from the Fashion Club like Quinn (who though came back, took another one since it was a change of pace for her). Tiffany joined in, making Sandi succumb too as it looks like everything she planned backfired. This caused the whole clique to break up and be the Fashion Club no more. Stacy may be the one who made this happen, but she still found it an upsetting thought, even though they'll hang out together anyway.
