**Tinka Eleanor Robbies**, formerly **Tutti Roberts**, is a supporting character appearing in the Barbie Parodies.

She appeared into the series as Barbie's new assistant, but is then discovered that she is actually her long lost sister.

## Early Life

Born to Margaret and George Roberts, Tinka was originally named Tutti. She has a twin brother, Todd.

When the twins were children, their parents forced them to wear "special hats" that were nothing put brown paper bags they had to wear over their heads, so that no one could see their faces, which were deemed as ugly. They agreed because their parents made it clear that, if someone saw that Barbie had ugly siblings, they would have thought she had plastic surgery done to be good looking.

In 1971, while on vacation on the Colorado Rockies, the two twins were pushed by their parents to go outside during a storm to purchase Dijon mustard, and they were never seen again.

For years, the Roberts family could not face the fact that they had possibly killed them, and therefore they created a secret around their existence, screaming "You must not speak their names!" anytime someone mentioned them.

The memory of their disappearance deeply scarred Barbie, and dijon mustard (especially the thought of running out of dijon mustard) would trigger Barbie.

## The Resolution of the Mystery

### What happened to Tutti and Todd

In the episode Tutti and Todd, which takes place during the Christmas dinner of 2017, what happened to the twins is finally revealed.

Skipper, who had been wondering about the mystery for years, took advantage of the fact that the family would have been reunited for Christmas to come up to three hypotheses, acted out by the silhouettes of Tutti and Todd:

1. They were hit by lightning while George was golfing;
2. They swallowed a cocktail of drugs that were supposed to go to Margaret while she was at a private beauty clinic;
3. They were accidentally killed during one of Harry Houdini's tricks, as they were brought there by Millicent, who was having a relationship with him.

All these theories turned out to not be the truth, but as the other family members tried to change the subject of the conversation, Skipper noticed that Ken was crying and had been stressed through the entire presentation. It doesn't take her much to get her father to talk and tell the entire story, leading Barbie to admit that the event caused her irreparable psychological trauma and the Christmas dinner to its conclusion.

### Tinka is hired

With Yasmin pregnant, Barbie needed an assistant that could do everything she usually delegated to Yasmin, so she decides to seek an assistant.

Tinka was the last one of the list, and Barbie immediately liked her and hired her.

Tinka reveals to Yasmin that her real name is Tutti and that she was a twin that was adopted many years ago, but as Yasmin doesn't know about Tutti and Todd, she thinks it's not an important piece of information and fails to report it to Barbie.

### The Reveal

In the episode Delivery, Yasmin finally gives birth to two twins, a boy and a girl, and names them Chili and Pepper. When Barbie asks her why she called her children like that, she answers that she took inspiration from Tinka's real name. Tinka, who had just walked in the room, explains to Barbie that her birth name was Tutti, and that she had a twin brother named Todd. At this revelation, Barbie faints.

In the following episode, Tinka and Todd, it's discovered that Margaret had known for years that her twins hadn't died nor that they had disappeared that stormy night on the Colorado Rockies. A few months after the two had disappeared, she had received a call that said that they had found two disheveled children that might have been her missing Tutti and Todd, but when she met them, she failed to recognize them as they weren't wearing their brown paper bags. Upon talking to them, she realized they were her children but since they didn't remember her, she decided to leave them there. Years after, feeling weirdly guilty, Margaret contacted the detectives that had been working on their case and made him find them. The detective was able to find Tutti, now named Tinka, and put a tracking device on her, but, since Todd had run away from the orphanage, no one knew where to find him and was considered to be lost forever.

Barbie is heartbroken and shocked that her mother would have hidden that thing from her, and tries to strangle her but is stopped by Tinka.

### Todd

While looking for their missing sibling, Tinka revealed that she knew she had a brother, and that they grew together at the orphanage and were still in contact.

However, once they get to Todd's house, Barbie discovers that Tinka misunderstood, as the Todd that stands before them is black and therefore cannot be their biological sibling.

In the last seconds of the episodes, it is revealed that the wrong Todd is actually in a relationship with the right Todd, who has not changed his name and that Ken had callen when they were ringing all the Todd Roberts they could find.

## Personality

Tinka is very soft spoken and has a gentle and kind personality. She never screams nor curses, and is very understanding, even when Barbie is asking her do to something that a personal assistant would never be required to do.
