Teresa Rivera 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). As of 2006, Teresa is one of Barbie's core friends in the Barbie brand along with Summer, Nikki and Raquelle. In the movie Barbie and the Diamond Castle, Barbie states that Teresa is officially her "best friend", but this fact is modified by Barbie herself when in Life in the Dreamhouse she states that all girls Teresa, Nikki, Summer, Midge, Raquelle & Grace are all her 'BFFs'.〔(YouTube.com | Barbie and the Diamond Castle trailer )〕 ==History== To counteract the criticisms that Barbie was a sex symbol, Mattel was compelled to issue companions for Barbie.〔(Why Skipper and Midge were created )〕 Some of these are her boyfriend Ken, the African American Christie, Barbie's cousin Francie and Barbie's little sister Skipper. Midge appeared in 1963 and was marketed as Barbie's first best friend.〔(Pictures and information about Midge )〕 Midge was discontinued in 1967. Over the years, Barbie's family tree expanded and soon Barbie would have many diverse and multicultural friends. Among these was Teresa, who was depicted as being Italian or Latina. She appeared in 1988 in the ''California Dream'' line alongside Barbie, Ken, Christie and Midge (who made her comeback in this line as well).〔(service.mattel.com | Barbie's friends and family since 1980 )〕 Christie has been Barbie's most featured friend at the time, being continuously in the playline since 1968. It wasn't till 2004 when Christie was discontinued (her last appearance was in the ''Really Rosy'' line) then Teresa would become Barbie's most frequent companion to date (aside from Ken). Teresa has been seen in various Barbie-related media such as books, magazines, video games and movies such as Barbie and the Diamond Castle, Barbie and the Three Musketeers, Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale and Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse.〔(Barbie and her Fabulous Friends sticker book )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teresa (Barbie)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
