Teresa is a Mattel fashion doll who is marketed as one of Barbie's fictional friends. Teresa debuted in the "California Dream Teresa" doll in 1988 and since then, she has been Barbie's most frequently featured female companion in the toy line (next to Christie).

Barbie Debuts On March 9, 1959, Barbie debuted at the New York Toy Fair. The first Barbie wore a black and white striped swimsuit and her signature ponytail. Toy buyers were skeptical because Barbie was unlike the baby and toddler dolls that were popular at the time.

Barbie made her debut in 1959 with a striped swimsuit, blonde ponytail, and red lipstick. "Barbie" star Margot Robbie channeled the look with a black-and-white striped, strapless dress at a press event for the film in June.

Always there for her friends (just maybe not on time), Teresa is the mellow, live-and-let-live type. Sarcasm is lost on this boho-chic gal, who subscribes to as many conspiracy theories as she does gossip magazines. What she says is what she means… for better or for worse.

Preschoolers can learn, play and grow with My First Barbie™ dolls and sets. Inspired by her character in the My First Barbie™ YouTube series, Teresa® is a poseable 13.5-inch doll with a soft torso and limbs that make her easy to handle, carry around and dress.

The first Barbie doll was introduced in both blonde and brunette on March 9, 1959. Upon her return to the United States, Handler redesigned the doll (with help from local inventor-designer Jack Ryan) and the doll was given a new name, Barbie, after Handler's daughter Barbara.

In 1945, Handler wanted her daughter Barbara to have action figures like her brother Ken, so she created her own. The first Barbie doll debuted at the New York toy fair in March 1959. And thanks to a revolutionary TV ad, Barbie became a household name.

Personality… optimistic, kind, and friendly. For all her beauty and talent, Barbie is shockingly down-to-earth. She considers everyone her friend, and if there's one thing Barbie is about, it's making sure her friends are happy.

Barbie was created by Ruth Handler of Mattel who was the principal architect of the doll's campaign. Handler was inspired by watching her daughter play with paper dolls that resembled adult women. At the time, baby dolls were the popular toy.

Enneagram. As a Type Two, Mother Teresa tends to be generous, altruistic, and empathetic. Mother Teresa is likely a hardworking and motivated person with a drive to connect with the world.

Most of the Gladers catcall and insult her because she is a girl, but she challenges their sexist attitudes by proving herself to be a self-confident, bold, and capable young woman. Able to take any of the boys in a fight and not afraid to speak her mind, she becomes a close friend and ally to Thomas.

Teresa is Barbie's best friend. They sing and play their guitars together, and have a strong bond. When Barbie's sister Stacie comes to them upset with one of her own friends, Barbie tells her the story of two girls based on her and Teresa: Liana and Alexa.
