Weird Barbie

Weird Barbie is a supporting character in the 2023 fantasy comedy film Barbie. She is a Barbie who was played with a little too roughly. She lives in her "weird" dreamhouse and is mostly disregarded by other Barbies except when they need her sage advice.
She is portrayed by Kate McKinnon, who also portrayed Jillian Holtzmann in Ghostbusters and Lupe in Ferdinand.
==Appearance==
Weird Barbie has her hair messily cut short, scribbles on her face in different colors, mismatched and ill-fitting clothing, and "is always in the splits", looking like a hobo. Her appearance is in reference to real-life Barbie dolls lovingly defaced and worn out in the same manner by children.
==Personality==
Weird Barbie is very good-natured and amicable, going out of her way to help everyone, even though they don't really like her all that much and treat her as an outcast. Additionally, she is the wisest of all Barbies, and she is the one who teaches Barbie what's wrong with her and how to reach the Real World. By the end of the film, after President Barbie apologizes to her for calling her Weird Barbie behind her back and to her face for years, she shrugs it off and admits she's "starting to own it."
==Story==
Weird Barbie has a history that most kids who played with Barbie can relate to. The marker on her face, choppy haircut, and permanent split position were all signs that she was “played with too much.” She has her own weird house where she makes accurate maps of Barbieland. She also is the keeper of Barbie knowledge. When Stereotypical Barbie has an existential crisis, the other Barbies knew Weird Barbie is the only one who could help. Weird Barbie guides Barbie into choosing the Birkenstock over the pink high-heel to find the root of her problem in the real world. When Barbie returns from the real world, Ken has taken over the place and only Weird Barbie seems to have kept her sanity.
