Early life
Stone was born on November 6, 1988, in Scottsdale, Arizona, to Krista Jean Stone (née Yeager), a homemaker, and Jeffrey Charles Stone, the founder and CEO of a general-contracting company.[1][2] As an infant, Stone had baby colic and cried frequently. As an adult, she developed nodules and calluses on her vocal chords.[3] Her parents were co-owners of the Camelback Golf Club,[4] and she lived on the grounds of the Camelback Inn resort from the age of twelve to fifteen.[5][6] She has a younger brother, Spencer.[7] Her paternal grandfather, Conrad Ostberg Stone, was of Swedish descent. His family's original surname "Sten" was anglicized as "Stone" when they immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island. She also has German, English, Scottish, and Irish ancestry.[8]

Stone appeared in sixteen productions at Valley Youth Theatre
While Stone has not described herself as a "tomboy", she has said that she was "loud" and "bossy" while growing up.[9] She was educated at Sequoya Elementary School and attended Cocopah Middle School for the sixth grade. Despite not liking school, she has said: "I made sure I got all As," citing her controlling nature as the reason.[10] As a child, she fell off the parallel bars in gymnastics and broke both arms.[11] In a 2013 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Stone said that she suffered panic attacks while growing up,[4] stating that the attacks caused a decline in her social skills.[12] She underwent therapy but claims that it was her participation in local theater plays that helped cure the attacks: "There's something about the immediacy of acting. You can't afford to think about a million other things. You have to think about the task at hand." She recalled:

The first time I had a panic attack I was sitting in my friend's house, and I thought the house was burning down. I called my mom and she brought me home, and for the next three years it just would not stop. I would go to the nurse at lunch most days and just wring my hands. I would ask my mom to tell me exactly how the day was going to be, then ask again 30 seconds later. I just needed to know that no one was going to die and nothing was going to change.[4]
