Skipper Roberts is a doll created by Mattel in 1964 to be Barbie's younger sister.

Mattel redesigned Skipper 45 years later in 2009, adding a purple streak to her hair and giving her a tech-savvy personality. According to her fictional biography, Skipper calls herself a gadget girl who likes computers and trying out the latest technology. In the Barbie movies, she likes to work on her photo blog.

Skipper's appearance has changed significantly since her introduction. The first Skipper doll was eight years old. She was designed as a response to requests for Barbie to have children; Mattel felt that a little sister would be a better choice instead. Skipper was later changed to a teenager and a controversial "Growing Up Skipper" doll with growable breasts was created to demonstrate the change.
