Julie the American Girl and Kendall Jenner
Julie the American Girl is a cartoon series centered on the life of a young girl in the 1970s. She is a talented basketball player and struggles to overcome sexism as she joins the local team. She has the entrepreneurial spirit of her mother and shares in her love for the sport with her best friend. Julie was the first historical character to have divorced parents and a best friend. This made her the most relatable historical character of all time.
Kendall
Recently, Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons sat courtside in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the NBA All-Star Game. The two were sporting flowy baby pink dresses and dainty bracelets. Jenner and Ben are not known for their relationship, but it is clear that the two are close. They recently stopped by Whole Foods to pick up some soup. But, does True Jenner have a boyfriend? We’ll have to wait and see.
The couple, who have been dating for two years, recently had a rough patch. They split a week and a half ago, but a couple of months ago, Jenner shared a photo of the two of them dancing in a Nude Topshop dress with her best friend. She sported 82 carats of diamonds, including a Chopard necklace. Their relationship went through a rough patch when Jenner struggled to drink the beverage.
Although Julie is fun and spirited, she is prone to bouts of despair. She finds it her duty to stand up against prejudices and has a competitive streak, despite being a tomboy. She shares her mother’s entrepreneurial spirit and is the first historical character with a divorced parent. As a result, she has the unique perspective of being the child of divorced parents. While she may not have had the best ride on the horse, she’s determined to succeed. In fact, she will usually surprise her friends by completing whatever she sets her mind to.
Marisol Luna
The third Girl of the Year is a chicana from Chicago. Born to a single mom and a single dad, Marisol lives with her parents in the Pilsen neighborhood. When her parents decide to move to Des Plaines, she is upset. She misses her dance studio and wishes she could perform there instead. Her dream will come true when she attends a ballet performance. Her costume includes a crocheted hat, a pendant necklace, stick-on earrings, and a paperback book about her life.
The 136-page book on Marisol is rife with controversy. The bestselling book is filled with controversial phrases that imply the neighborhood is not as diverse as it is in reality. But, as Marisol’s mother, Alessandra P., has said, “This book is not about racism, it’s about diversity.”
While there is a lot of diversity in today’s society, the doll industry still has a long way to go before being more inclusive. This year’s American Girl released the first doll with an LGBT storyline, and plans to release a more racially diverse lineup in the future. Still, some hardcore fans are frustrated by the doll community’s reluctance to embrace diversity. Several claim that homophobic comments and forums on online forums are a result of a lack of diversity in the doll community.
Kira Bailey is another new doll that was released in the line in January, 2021. She is the nineteenth Girl of the Year and uses the Josefina mold. She is the first non-white biracial doll in the line. She struggles to understand her heritage and parents’ divorce. She lives in Aspen, Colorado. Marisol Luna and Kailey Hopkins were released in 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Kailey Hopkins
The first girl of the year in 2003 is Kailey Hopkins. In 2004, she retired from the franchise, but was sent back to the doll hospital. Since then, she has remained in the hospital gown. During her stay, Kailey has not been able to take it off. Kailey’s best friend, Tess, is also a movie addict. But when she breaks her leg on the beach, Tess gets jealous of her friend and starts to do things more actively in the booth. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hopkins, Kailey’s mom, has collected pencils and paper for the doll’s protest drawing.
Like her famous cousin Julie, Kailey loves the sea and the tide pools. She loves surfing, swimming and exploring tide pools. Her book describes the difficulties she encounters in helping various causes. She also references her brother’s Bar Mitzvah and a party she planned to attend. The doll was released with a small set of accessories, including a swimsuit and a scooter. She retired in 2004, and her replacement is Marisol Luna. She has blond hair and brown eyes. She wears a Classic face mold.
Jeremy, a hairdresser, tells Kailey that his friend’s mom owned a hair salon and was an artist herself. He also tells her about the tide pools and asks her to draw them for his raffle prize. He also tells Kailey about his new job at a commercial hotel. He used to visit tide pools as a child and hopes to build a resort for his kids when they grow up.
Addy Walker
The fifth Historical Character released by the company is Addy Walker, who represents the Civil War Era. Introduced in Fall 1993, Addy was part of the BeForever collection, which was a 35th anniversary re-release. An African-American girl, Addy is enslaved on a plantation in North Carolina. She escapes with her mother, Ruth, and settles in Philadelphia. In time, she hopes to join her family in freedom.
The story of Addy is based on a real historical event, and the doll has many historical references. In addition to the African-American heritage, the doll is named for Addy’s great-grandmother. The name, which means’much loved’ in Yoruba, is rarely used in Nigerian. Her family, however, refers to her as Addy. Addy was born in the spring, though she does not know her exact birth date. She settles on April 9th, which happens to be the celebration of the end of the Civil War.
The story of Addy Walker is a very different one than the average American Girl story. She is born into slavery and must flee with her mother to Philadelphia in order to escape. She leaves behind her baby sister out of fear that she will alert slave-catchers. She struggles to adjust to life in Philadelphia, but she dreams of the day when she will finally see her family again. Ultimately, Addy’s family reunites, but her brother loses his arm in the Civil War and her surrogate grandparents die before the reunion.
Corinne Tan
In the latest American Girl book, Corinne Tan, a thirteen-year-old ski enthusiast, is faced with the challenges of raising her younger sister, Gwynn, after her parents’ recent divorce. Corinne is determined to make Gwynn happy and helps her cope with the stress of her new role as a big sister. This story teaches valuable lessons about family, perseverance, and acceptance. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, or a student, you’ll find something to adore in Corinne Tan.
The new book is about the challenges and opportunities faced by women of color in today’s society. Corinne’s story reflects the rise of anti-Asian sentiment in the U.S. since the global pandemic. She has a new purpose after saving a dog. As Corinne fights against prejudice, she also learns how to accept herself. After overcoming her fears, she is determined to reach her goals, and finds her place in the world.
Though proud of her Chinese heritage, Corinne has encountered racism and has a difficult time expressing herself. She gets caught in a racist joke when a boy refers to her as having the “Kung flu,” a reference to the disease COVID-19. Her mom shows her how to confront racist people, and she overhears a racist joke outside of her mom’s restaurant. She confronts the racially insensitive jokester, and learns to stand up for herself.
Nellie
The American Girl series focuses on the 1950s. Maryellen was born with polio but did not let it slow her down. This fellow Floridian also had a connection to the 1950s suburban boom. Maryellen embodies the spirit of a child of the 1950s, and Julie exemplifies the same spirit. The series offers an opportunity for girls to explore the complexities of their own identity, while making history approachable.
Nellie is an Irish-American girl with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. She lives with her parents and two younger sisters. Her parents are Irish immigrants, though Nellie does not appear to be. Irish immigrants were not considered white as their counterparts in the WASP society. This may be why Nellie’s appearance has become so popular. However, Nellie was not the only doll that was made with her ethnic background in mind.
Samantha Parkington’s best friend, Nellie O’Malley, is also an Irish immigrant. Nellie teaches Samantha about conditions that immigrant children face in the work force. The Edwards adopt Nellie after she becomes the best friend of Samantha. She also became part of the Samantha Collection in 2008.
