Stephanie Lyn Beard (born August 27, 1981) is a Canadian voice actress best known for her quite babyish, squeaky voice. That sugary sweet voice has earned her the nickname "Sugar" in two ways: her radio host persona goes by Suga BayBee, and the name of her character on YTV's The Zone (where she served as a host from 2001 to 2007) was named Sugar. Oh, and then there's Pink Sugar Heart Attack, in her most famous anime dubbing role, Rini (Chibi-Usa) from the North American dub of Sailor Moon, which is notable in that she is considered to be Rini's "good" voice actress by Sailor Moon fans, and she was preceded by Tracey Hoyt. With that role and her role on The Zone combined, she has become a Pigeonholed Voice Actor and does lots of cutesy animated roles. Some of her other voice roles include Wish Bear in Care Bears Journey To Joke A Lot and Care Bears: Big Wish Movie, Coco in Pecola, Kara in Di-Gata Defenders, Creech in Cyberchase, Kirsten McBradden in Captain Flamingo, Tammy in The Amazing Spiez! and Ming-Ming in Bakuten Shoot Beyblade among others.
She would later move from Toronto to Los Angeles in 2007, and at the same time, Beard announced that she would leave The Zone as well.
American counterpart? Sandy Fox (who also voiced Chibi-Usa in the Viz Media re-dub of Sailor Moon).

Tropes related to Stephanie Beard:
- Image Song: The case here is "The Real SugaBaybe". It's a parody of Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady", and was written for her radio character.
- The Other Darrin: In replacing Tracey Hoyt for Rini's role, which dub fans approved of.
- Typecasting: She's your go-to for a high-pitched, cutesy voice.
