History
Stephanie Pottsdam apparently woke up in the strange 1950's American styled town of Harvest, suffering with a bad case of Amnesia. Even so, she knew right away that nothing felt right and that her 'family' wasn't actually who they claimed to be. She desperately wanted to escape from Harvest, she described it as 'hell'. Her parents grounded her for various reasons, she cannot even leave her room until the wedding with her fiancee.

She was supposed to get married to Steve Mason in two weeks. Upon finally meeting Steve, she discovered that he too, had Amnesia. She got the sense that he's the only one she knew from her past life and that her and Steve are the only 'true' people in Harvest. Her fiancee, Steve decided to apply for the Lodge to find the answers he and Stephanie were searching for. Stephanie expressed her fear of the lodge and urged Steve to not go anywhere near it. Steve didn't listen to Stephanie, since he assumed it would be the right place to go. Later in the game, as Steve completes the tasks for the Lodge. If you choose to be honest with Stephanie, Stephanie will show that she's actually becoming worried about Steve and what he's becoming because of the Lodge. She slowly loses her trust in him. Until, he admits that what he was doing is wrong and that he'll stop. She'll then show a form of happiness.

On the sixth day, Stephanie Pottsdam was assumed murdered and her mutilated Skull and spinal cord was laid across her bed. It was later revealed by Steve Mason, that she was kidnapped by the Lodge. (Mr Pottsdam (Her 'father) letting them into her room). She was hooked to a special torture device which gave her horrible pain every time Steve makes it to another level of the Lodge. She and Steve then discovered that the town of Harvest was just a virtual reality in hopes to convert Steve into a real life serial killer. Stephanie, being the victim. Steve and Stephanie were the only two real people in Harvest. The Sergeant-at-arms gives her fiancee two choices, to murder Stephanie (She dies in the real world) or marry Stephanie and spend the rest of their lives in the town of Harvest. (Although, their lives actually only last a mere five minutes in the real world). Stephanie begs Steve to spare her life, that they can live together in the virtual reality and that Steve can redeem his self, since everything he's done wasn't real.

Being murdered in the Serial Killer ending:
Despite her pleads, and blood curdling screams, Steve ends up brutally murdering Stephanie anyways. Since Stephanie was too weak to defend herself due to the torture device. Afterwards, Stephanie died in the real world as well as the virtual reality and her 'fiancee' re-enters the world as a Harvester.

Marrying Steve and continuing the rest of her life in the Virtual Reality ending:
Steve tells the Sergeant-at-arms that he'd rather die than become as twisted as him. Afterwards, Steve and Stephanie holds a wedding at the Lodge's "Temple of Love". The Sergeant-at-Arms marries them. Even if Stephanie desperately wanted to escape the town of Harvest. She was happy to be able to live the rest of her life with Steve. She and her husband ended up buying their own house and having a child of their own (Although, the child wasn't real). They eventually died of old age. It was then revealed that Stephanie and Steve's lives only lasted for a mere five minutes and that the both of them died in the real world.

Previous Life
Very little is known about Stephanie's previous life besides the fact that she's known Steve and that she lived in the state of Texas.
