Barbie's fictional biography has developed with her continued sales. She has been given the fuller name Barbara Millicent Roberts, and a family and friends have been manufactured for her, starting with her beau Ken. Additions to the family tree include Skipper (debut 1964), twins Tutti and Todd (1966, but were discontinued in 1971), Stacie (1992), Kelly (1995), and baby Krissy (1999). Barbie and Ken began dating in 1961, but broke up in early 2004. Rumor has it that the end of their 43 year romance was at least partly due to Ken's reluctance to get married. After a long estrangement, Barbie was reunited with her best friend Midge in the early nineties. Other longstanding friends in Barbie's ethnically diverse social circle include Hispanic Teresa, African-American Christie and Steven (ostensibly Christie's boyfriend), and the ethnically-ambiguous Kayla.

List of Barbie's friends and family

According to the Random House novels of the 1960s, her parents' names are George and Margaret Roberts of Willows, Wisconsin. Barbie has been said to attend Willows High School in Willows, Wisconsin and Manhattan International High School in New York City (based on the real-life Stuyvesant High School).

Barbie has thirty-eight recorded pets, including cats and dogs, horses, a panda, a lion cub, and a zebra. Barbie has used her driver's license to the fullest, with pink convertibles, trailers and more. She also has a pilot's license, and operates commercial airliners, when not serving as a flight attendant. Considering she is said to be a "fashion" model, it is not surprising that she has appeared in the garb of so many different professions with so many different props.

Some of Barbie's friends have been given surnames. They are: Ken Carson (so of course you've got Tommy Carson); Midge Hadley; Allan Sherwood (so Midge is Mrs. Sherwood now), plus son Ryan Sherwood, and newborn daughter Nikki; Francie Fairchild and Miko Morrison. Peppermint Rose's full name is Rose Richards. The Generation Girls are Tori Burns, Nakano Mariko, Nichelle Williams, Lara Morelli-Strauss, Chelsie Peterson and Ana Suarez. The names for Ken, Midge and Allan are from the 1960s Random House novels and Francie's name is mentioned in the Barbie Talk magazine of the mid- and late 1960s. The other dolls' names are from videos or Barbie novels and short stories from the 1980s and 1990s.

Barbies of different ethnic groups and nationalities have also been created, including African, Hispanic, Asian and Native American Barbies. These Barbies are no longer exact replicas of the original Barbie, as more than just skin, hair, and eye color are changed. Mattel has also developed numerous ethnically accurate head molds to embrace the diversity of their global consumers and to make up for the days back in the 1970's when "Black Barbie" was just the caucasian mold filled with dark plastic. Most commonly the Hispanic Teresa and African-American Christie appear as Barbie's "ethno-friend" alongside Skipper and occasionally red-head Midge, who has been around since the sixties.

Mattel also released an international collection, the Dolls Of The World, in 1980, with Barbies from different parts of the world. The dolls are dressed in more or less traditional clothes, each representing a nation. European countries dominate the collection but there are also Peruvian, Kenyan, Chinese, Filipino, Arctic, Japanese and Australian Barbies. In 2001 The Princess Collection" was issued for instance with dolls named Princess of India, Princess of the Navajo, Princess of the Vikings. As of 2005 there are also a "Kelly: Dolls of the World" where Barbie's "little sister" and two friends represent different European countries.

To counter accusations of gender stereotyping, career Barbies have been released. These include astronaut, gymnast, rapper and soldier models. She also ran for President after breaking up with Ken.
