Friend Indeed – Lydia & Charlotte
Interview with Lydia & Charlotte
Today, we’re introducing you to Lydia and Charlotte, two of our new Friend Indeed dolls. With their own unique style, each one is a reminder for kids to be themselves and never be afraid of standing out. Lydia is never without a sketchbook and pens and volunteers at a local animal shelter. Charlotte is on the student council and loves having sleepovers at her house. Read on to find out more about Lydia and Charlotte in our exclusive doll interviews.
As we continue to share what makes each Friend Indeed doll unique, we encourage you to share what makes your kids unique using the hashtag #youaremagic.
Every individual has something unique and special to offer the world. Their own type of magic. What traits and talents that you possess make you the most proud?
CHARLOTTE: I am most proud of my leadership skills. I am great at bringing people together.
What’s your favorite season and why?
CHARLOTTE: Winter. I love that hot cocoa with marshmallows. My family comes in from out of town for Christmas. I love spending time with them. And snow!
If you had an entire day to do anything you wanted, what would it be?
CHARLOTTE: My grandma would come over to my house during my piano lesson on Saturday and she could hear how much better I’ve gotten! My grandma’s really good at playing the piano and the reason I wanted to start taking lessons. After my lesson I would want to sit with my grandma while she plays her favorite songs. I would get a letter from my penpals (I have two!) and I would write them both back. I am pretty busy during the week so I like to have some time on weekends to learn more about writing code. Usually I have a few questions my dad can help me with. Then my whole family would go out to dinner to my favorite restaurant. I always order spaghetti . After dinner my friendswould come over and we would have a sleepover and stay up super late.
What’s your all-time favorite food?
CHARLOTTE: Spaghetti.
What would you like to be when you grow up and how do you think that’ll impact and change the world?
CHARLOTTE: I would like to be a politician or singer and actress when I grow up. I think it will impact the world because I will have an important voice on a big stage whether it’s in politics or entertainment. I will get to influence people. And I can use my voice to make changes in the world that have yet to happen.
Every individual has something unique and special to offer the world. Their own type of magic. What traits and talents that you possess make you the most proud?
LYDIA: I am most proud that I always stand up for what I believe in. I always speak up about any injustice I see big or small.
What’s your favorite season and why?
LYDIA: Fall! I love the crunching leaves. And back to school time means new school supplies and seeing friends you haven’t seen all summer. I like getting to pull out sweaters and thinking about Halloween customers.
If you had an entire day to do anything you wanted, what would it be?
LYDIA: I would go to the animal shelter and volunteer and there would be new kittens or puppies to pet and help get adopted. I usually just clean cages, but I always have time to pet all the animals. Then I would go with my friends apple picking or to the pumpkin patch! I like to spend a lot of time looking for the perfect pumpkin to become a jack-o-lantern. Then we could all go back to my house and bake chocolate chip cookies and decide what we are going to be for halloween.
What’s your all-time favorite food?
LYDIA: Falafel. I’m vegetarian so I try a lot of different types of food. Falafel is a middle eastern food made with chick peas. It’s so good.
What would you like to be when you grow up and how do you think that’ll impact and change the world?
LYDIA: I want to be an industrial designer or veterinarian when I grow up. I will get to save lives if I am a veterinarian. I will create things that don’t exist yet if I’m an industrial designer. And with both jobs I will be improving things (health or products) Whether it’s people or animals, I will be improving the quality of their lives and that feels really important.
