Elizabeth Cole – American Girl

Elizabeth Cole, 1774

Elizabeth® lives in Williamsburg, VA; she was born on November 5, 1765. Elizabeth is Felicity’s best friend. She is the daughter of a Loyalist family during the American Revolution, which causes some conflict with Felicity, who is a Patriot. In contrast to vivacious Felicity, Elizabeth is described as very shy. Elizabeth’s book, “Very Funny, Elizabeth” was written by Valerie Tripp and is set in 1775. The plot concerns the engagement of Elizabeth’s snobby older sister, whom Felicity and Elizabeth take every opportunity to tease. But after a joke goes terribly wrong, Elizabeth finds herself facing a move back to her native England.

The Elizabeth doll was introduced in August 2005 and the character prominently featured in the Felicity DVD. In the original book illustrations, Elizabeth had dark hair and eyes. Due to alleged concerns that the dolls would too closely resemble one another and that the young actresses in the movie would look too much alike, the Elizabeth doll was given blonde hair and blue eyes. Subsequent editions of the Felicity books were re-illustrated to reflect this change. The face mold used for the Elizabeth doll is the mold first used for Josefina.
