Skipper (Barbie)

Skipper Roberts is a doll created by Mattel in 1964 to be Barbie's young sister. Since 2009, she has had a purple streak in her brown hair and is shown to have a tech-savvy and clever personality. Compared to her sisters, Skipper is introverted and quiet, but also very sarcastic. \ In some of the Barbie films, she likes to work on her photo blog or DJing. Shes's also level headed and responsible. She had a starring role in the 2023 television film, Barbie: Skipper and the Big Babysitting Adventure. Skipper's appearance has changed significantly since her introduction. The first Skipper doll was eight years old. She was designed as a response to requests for Barbie to have children; Mattel felt that a little sister would be a better choice instead. Skipper was later changed to a teenager, and a controversial "Growing Up Skipper" doll with growable breasts was created to demonstrate the change.
