Elizabeth Cole – American Girl
Elizabeth Cole is a bright, quiet, unassuming 10-year-old girl growing up in Williamsburg Virginia after she and her family moved from England in 1774. Elizabeth is Felicity Merriman’s best friend and they share their love or horses. Elizabeth believes that Felicity has the bravery and courage that she lacks, and thinks herself too timid. Elizabeth’s older sister Annabelle often bosses her around and calls her “Bitsy”, a nickname that Elizabeth hates. Elizabeth’s sister and family were Loyalists, that is, they were loyal to the King of England and felt that the colonists were uncivilized and ungrateful.
Elizabeth was added to the collection of American Girls in September 2005. Even though Elizabeth was the tenth historical girl added after the collection was launched in 1986, she is really part of Felicity’s collection. Just like Nellie, Elizabeth is not a limited edition doll.
