* DevelopersDesiredDate: ''True Colors'' itself doesn't express a preference, but most follow-up materials (like comics and novels) follow a timeline in which Steph and Alex are an OfficialCouple following the events of the game.

She's even set to become the protagonist (and title character) of the first ever ''Life Is Strange'' prose novel.

** In the AlternateUniverse timeline established by the comics, the original ending choice to the first game never occurred, but this version of Steph was instead forced to witness [[spoiler:Kate Marsh's suicide, since Max never came to Blackwell in this continuity and thus wasn't there to help Kate, whose death thus went from a possibility to a certainty]].

* BrokenBird: No matter the timeline, poor Steph ''always'' goes through some major trauma between ''Before the Storm'' and ''True Colors'', since her ending up in Haven Springs and meeting Alex seems to be a significant event across the multiverse. However, she has a slightly different TraumaButton in each timeline:
** In the "Bae" timeline following on from the original game, it's the deaths of the people who were killed in the storm, in particular [[spoiler:her mother Lita and close friend Drew North]].
** In the "Bay" timeline following on from the original game, it's [[spoiler:the murders of Rachel and Chloe at the hands of Mark Jefferson and Nathan Prescott]].
** In the AlternateUniverse timeline established by the comics, the original ending choice to the first game never occurred, but this version of Steph was instead forced to witness [[spoiler:Kate Marsh's suicide, since Max never came to Blackwell in this continuity and thus wasn't there to help Kate, whose death thus went from a possibility to a certainty]].

* AnimalMotifs: While his relationship with Sean is represented by wolves, as shown with the loading screen, Daniel has an association with bears. There's a bear drawing on his bedroom door, he's drawn to the bear key rings and one of his favorite franchises is called "Power Bear" which is shown in ''Roads'' and ''Rules''. [[spoiler: Interstingly, if Sean goes to Mexico alone in "Wolves" then "Power Bear" appears on the treehouse banner; if Sean is arrested, then a wolf appears on the treehouse banner instead.]]

** Since romancing her in ''Before the Storm'' is entirely optional it's still uncertain just what exactly her relationship with Chloe could be defined as by the time of her disappearance. It's clear that there's romantic feelings on ''Chloe's'' part, even going so far as admitting to having a crush. However, when she finds out Rachel and Frank were together, she doesn't accuse Rachel of cheating, and seems more angry that Rachel lied about it when asked. There's also the unsent letter regarding her connection to [[spoiler: Jefferson]] in the junkyard. It would be rather odd to give one's girlfriend a letter describing a man who "changed [her] life," thus further implying their relationship in the season 01 timeline(s) was platonic at the time of her disappearance.
** Likewise, it's unclear in season 01 if Rachel reciprocated, if she even knew about Chloe's feelings, if they mutually pined for each other but never acted on it, whether or not they actually did date in the main timeline, and if they did had they ever needed to take a "break" from their relationship over something. Truly the only thing that's clear is that they, ''at the very least,'' had a PseudoRomanticFriendship and that Chloe had genuine romantic feelings for her.

disappearance. It is also unclear in season 01 1 if Rachel reciprocated, if she even knew about Chloe's feelings, if they mutually pined for each other but never acted on it, whether or not they actually did date in the main timeline, and if they did had they ever needed to take a "break" from their relationship over something. Truly the only thing that's clear is that they, ''at the very least,'' had a PseudoRomanticFriendship and that Chloe had genuine romantic feelings for her. ''True Colors'''s ''Wavelengths'' DLC resolves this somewhat, confirming that Chloe and Rachel were a couple regardless of the player's choices in ''Before the Storm'', though that still leaves the question of whether they were together when she was involved with Frank and [[spoiler:Jefferson]].
