Originating from the very brief Generation Girls Line Chelsie Peterson is a British exchange student at International High. (What is with Barbie being friends with British girls who share the same name as her sisters?) A very kind and thoughtful soul, but is very forgetful and sometimes is a messy perfectionist, As Ana called her, Chelisa is a lovable flake. She'd impossible to be mad with but she can be frustrating to work with at times, which I feel to my bones. She's the third of her new friend group Barbie meets, but the second one she knows by name. She was shy but Barbie helped her open up, and the two of them started the magazine before recruiting the other Generation girls.

She's a worldly girl, totally embracing the global coffee house vibes, she has her guitar and her heart full of songs of each corner of the earth. She loves her fellow man and animal, even if she gets stressed out from time to time. She's also the daughter of a British diplomat (which makes me totally headcanon her as extremely bi-lingual) and because of that she's very polite, which isn't the best mix for a stereotypical New York city.

From the first time I saw her original doll I knew this doll was a dyke, like just look at her, girly is GAY. (Yes I am ignoring the canon of the books where she crushes on guys) I mean she wears these cute ass docs (seen above) with maxi skirts and has a nose piercing in the 90s. I don’t know if I’m playing on stereotypes, but as I Dyke myself, I see her as one. Ok?

Like even the wikis like "While her parents make her wear prim and preppy clothes, she describes her personal style to be eclectic--like a vintage dress with combat boots. She's always dreamed of wearing those kinds of clothes." Girl is in the closet, which, makes sense for the time period, and with her mother...
At the time I am writing this shrine I have yet to actually read any Generation Girls books or hell touch a doll but from what I get from the wiki I already love the conflict with her mother, especially as you wouldn't expect it from the hippy girl, you'd think it'd be Tori or Ana the two tomboys. But I love that it is her, as it just adds on my self imposed queer headcanons for this hunk of plastic. Her Mum wants her to be formal and prim like a good lady should be, but she'd rather be finding someway to express her believes, she kind of reminds me of Venus McFlytrap, just without the mind altering pollen.
