Beth Thomas

**Bethany "Beth" Thomas**is a major villain in the original Korean-American version of *Polly Pocket*.

She is a conceited and shallow cheerleader. She is also very arrogant. She is very jealous of Polly and is willing to sabatoge her and her friends in any way possible. In fact, she's so jealous of Polly that she can't see any reason why she and her friends can't get the opportunities Polly gets. For example, in "Polly Pocket: Lunar Eclipse", she is jealous that Polly's band is playing at the school dance and asks why she and her friends can't do it despite knowing that they have no band. Her two best friends are just as mean as she is, but she can also be mean to them and nag them to do things.

## Appearance

Beth has long two-toned brown hair and green eyes. She typically wears anything green and short skirts.

Unlike the other characters in the series, Beth and her friends are the only ones not included in the doll franchise as they were only for the TV shows and movies.
