#raquelle life in the dreamhouse

[shinekocreator]

In case no one ever thought about it or posted it, I have a theory:

Raquelle in Barbie: Life in the dream house, is actually a rejected doll.

Allow me to elaborate:

Raquelle, despite being a total fashion icon, is still not seen as one by the other dolls in the Barbie universe. She doesn't function like Barbie (feet too big for Barbie's shoes, mean, can't do a quick change), that's why she's so jealous of Barbie, because she wasn't one

*kicks door down* GUESS WHO'S FEELING A BIT BETTER (THANKS TO @random-doctor-on-the-internet)? THIS GUY!

(do I still have a haematoma? yes. do I still have a cold? probably. is my other ankle still injured? yes. is my college situation sorted? if anything, it's worse. is my financial situation sorted? no. is this an improvement anyway? fuck yes.)

I ask you, assorted gentlefolk, to picture for me:

Aziraphale as Barbie and Crowley as Raquelle from Barbie: Life In the Dreamhouse.

ideas for possible future barbie films

first one would be that barbie could be in the human world and then something bad suddenly starts happening over in barbie land and they find out it's that they're bringing back raquelle, and she's taking over the whole place cause she's jealous of barbie so she just schemes and ultimately keeps failing just like in barbie life in the dream house and there's tons of references to the old animated barbie movies and stuff

second one would be an allan spin-off where ALLAN GOES INTO THE REAL WORLD and helps save the universe or smth cause who could go wrong with an allan spin-off?

Raquelle is one of many Barbie characters who originated in Barbie media outside the doll line and then made appearances in the doll line, rather than the other way around. Her first appearance was in 2006 in The Barbie Diaries, and the subsequent tie-in dolls.

Here she was depicted as green-eyed and with strawberry blonde hair, but in almost all later appearances she is depicted with dark brown or black hair - in this way, she is similar to Summer Gordon who was originally depicted as tan with brown hair and subsequently always as pale with strawberry blonde hair. In fact, if she were not labelled as Raquelle, this doll looks relatively similar to Summer to me.

Her subsequent appearances through the Fashion Fever line show her with dark hair and blue eyes.

And then later, in the Fashionistas line, she began to be depicted with dark brown hair (with occasional dyed streaks) and brown eyes, and her appearance has been more consistent since.

This is especially true as of Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse debuting in 2012, cementing her look for the new era. Life in the Dreamhouse also introduced her twin brother Ryan. (Not to be confused with Ryan, Midge and Alan's toddler son.)

When you search up Raquelle, a lot of the suggested Google searches are related to her ethnicity, and I understand it is relatively common to headcanon her as Asian. Based on how she is depicted in Life in the Dreamhouse, I understand this headcanon, but it is not established canon from Mattel so I would not personally count her as representation or diversity in the Barbie line the same way that characters like Lea and Kira have been.

That being said, there's no particular reason she can't be interpreted as Asian; even though past appearances have depicted her as blonde and blue- or green-eyed, she would not be the first Barbie character to be depicted with a variety of features.
