Barbie Roberts

Barbara Millicent "Barbie" Roberts is the main character from the Barbie fandom.

Character
Barbie was created in 1959 by Mattel founder Ruth Handler for her daughter, Barbara. She was physically based on the German Lilli doll (who was aimed at adults, rather than children), of whom Handler was inspired by on a trip to Europe. Barbie is known for her large variety of jobs, and being what made adult-sized dolls popular in America, instead of baby dolls. Despite her feminist backstory, social justice warriors tend to complain about her being a bad influence on children and "sexist blonde bimbo propaganda" due to her thin, svelte body and association with stereotypically girly things like pink, fashion, glitter, princesses, and unicorns. Barbie first debuted as a cartoon in the Barbie and the Rockers two-part pilot in the 1980s, but became popular when the actual CGI movies started in 2001, two of which (Fashion Fairytale and A Pony Tale) have revealed that she is of French and Swiss descent. Since then, shippers have made "Barbie is gay" jokes because of the color schemes of many of her and her friends outfits, and their chemistry often being stronger than with the men.
