 |
Barbie:(To Nikki) Raquelle can't be that devious! |
 |
- Stacey stirs together an egg carton, a box of flour and a carton of milk and puts it in the oven. What comes out? A perfect cake!

- Finally acknowledged in Life in the Dreamhouse, from the characters description alone she qualifies as a Purity Sue and Mary Sue Classic.
- Complete Monster: Gothel from Barbie as Rapunzel.
