Propaganda:

The Barbie Diaries--Unlike most other movies of this era, this is an animated teen drama film fitting of the 2000s. Barbie is a high school sophomore who is pining after the boyfriend of her former best friend. A sympathetic shopkeeper gives her a diary, and once Barbie begins writing inside, she finds that what she writes is coming true, leading to her rise to popularity and conflict with her close friends. Fans of this film remember this film for its unique plot and the friends-to-lovers romance typical of the era.

Barbie and the Diamond Castle--Best friends Liana and Alexa lose their livelihood when a storm destroys their garden. After gaining a magical mirror in which an apprentice to the Muses is trapped, they embark on a journey to find the Diamond Castle and free the remaining Muses who have been held captive by the traitor Lydia. This one is beloved for its songs and the strong focus on the relationship between Liana and Alexa, as many find that this dynamic is stronger than their implied canon love interests.

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.

The Barbie Diaries: Barbie's Diary —Aesthetic

Barbie's Diary

After Barbie is mistreated by school peers at the mall, a mysterious store clerk gifts her a free silver charm bracelet. The one she chooses comes with a pink butterfly diary and pen. This is because the charm bracelet acts as the key to unlocking the diary. Soon, Barbie believes the bracelet is magic with wish granting abilities because everything she writes in the diary (her hopes and dreams) become real.

A remake of a video of mine from a bit back. I may not be a fan of DEH but I think this song really fits the movie.

I also remade some of my edits
