Dunlap Dewberry
Stevie is a local boy; he’s Dunlap’s younger brother. Stevie is about a year younger than his older brother but looks much the same—the boys’ mother shaves their hair in the summertime, which inspires Opal to refer to them as “bald-headed babies” as an insult. Stevie is more interested than Dunlap is in tormenting Opal and with insisting that Gloria is a witch. Though he and Opal don’t make up at the end of the novel like Dunlap and Opal do, the fact that he willingly attends Opal’s party implies that his behavior toward her will change going forward.

“Well,” said Gloria Dump. “We didn’t do nothin’. We just sat here and waited and sang some songs. We all got to be good friends. Now.

And we still got a party going on.”
