Donna Jo Margaret Tanner-Fuller (born February 1977, portrayed by Candace Cameron Bure) is Danny and Pam's oldest child. D.J. attends Frasier Street Elementary, Van Atta Junior High and Bayview High School (through the show's whole run). She shares a room with Stephanie at the beginning, later to switch with Michelle (in season five) for privacy reasons. Even though she sometimes bickers with her sisters, she deeply cares for them. She has her first serious relationship with Steve Hale (first introduced in season five), who later becomes a real fixture in her life (and an official cast member beginning in season 6) when their characters return from a summer abroad in Spain. Their relationship lasts until they break up in season seven, after realizing the passion in their relationship is gone, but agree to remain friends. D.J. has on-and-off relationships (during the show's final season) with guitarist Viper (a new addition to Jesse's band) and rich kid Nelson, but both relationships do not last. In the series finale, Steve shows up at the Tanner house to take D.J. to her Senior Prom. D.J. Tanner was born on February 9, 1977 to Pam and Danny. She is the oldest daughter in the Tanner family. D.J. is the elder sister of Stephanie and Michelle Tanner. She shares a closer bond with Stephanie than with Michelle. She cares about them both very much. D.J.'s often jealous of her sisters, but she loves them. Though she gets upset at times over her father prying into her or otherwise embarrassing her, she is always quick to apologize, especially when she yells at him. D.J. is often irritated about the limits her father places on her, and usually breaks these limits. In the end, she does learn her lesson (usually the hard way). This structure of one of the Tanner sisters learning a life-important lesson is shown in many episodes. D.J. is a straight A student (although she received a F and a C in science once, which never happened again).From the season one episode Daddy's Home , when she wouldnt talk about how much she wished Danny wasnt working so much because Stephanie would cry about Danny missing her recital, D.J. shows great sensitivity toward her younger siblings. She also stays home from her first non-mother/daughter slumber party to take care of Michelle when Jesse, Joey, and Stephanie all have the chicken pox, so Michelle wont get it - even though Danny was perfectly willing to miss a chance to miss the game he wanted to go to. Stephanie quite often got on her nerves with her snooping, and this trend continued throughout the series. Her interests include music (such as George Michael during season 2), movies, and hanging out with her friends. In a few episodes from season two, she was shown to love horseback riding, dreaming of having her own horse and practicing karate. D.J. has a Pillow Person that she's attached to; unlike Mr. Bear, D.J.'s Pillow Person is still seen until the series ends. D.J. has a charm bracelet that Pam gave her when she and Danny brought Michelle home from the hospital. D.J.'s favorite color is purple. D.J. attended Frasier Street Elementary School. In later seasons, she started attending Van Atta Junior High School (an inside joke referring to series producer Don Van Atta). In the last seasons, she attended Bayview High School. However, despite getting good grades, she was not admitted to her first college choice, Stanford University.
