Barbara Millicent Roberts, known better as Barbie, is a fashion doll who has appeared in multiple media.

Appearance
Barbie is a young woman around seventeen to eighteen years old with fair skin, blonde hair, blue eyes and a slim build. She has worn a variety of swimwear over the years, her very first being a strapless black and white striped one piece. For the most part, her swimwear often has shades of pink and blue incorporated into it.

History
Barbie began as a fashion doll, made to appeal to young girls. Over the years, she was given more accessories and items to supplement her image as a fashion icon. Along with her accessories came a slew of friends. Ken Carson was created as her boyfriend. Barbie was given three sisters named Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea. Along with family and a love interest, Barbie was given friends, including Renee, Daisy, Teresa and Nikki. For all of her popularity, Barbie was faced with criticism. Concerned parents thought that the fashion doll craze would create an unrealistic standard of beauty among young girls who would try to emulate the looks of the dolls that they loved. This is despite how Barbie has been portrayed in high profile, high ranking positions, such as a business executive, a scientist, a college professor and a movie director.
