Dolly

**Dolly** is a major character from the Toy Story franchise.

## Background

### Personality

Dolly is a sarcastic rag doll who likes to lead Bonnie’s toys. She comes off as wise and likes to use metaphors and smiles in her conversations, while also being easily annoyed. Dolly, in fact, is easily annoyed by the spork Forky, who usually causes her to feel confused and nauseous. However, during a road trip and after seeing Woody give up his leadership of Andy's toy to Jessie so he can be with his girlfriend Bo Peep, Dolly followed his example and gave the leadership of both toy groups to her when she realized that she better at it than she is.

### Physical Appearance

Dolly is a soft dress-up rag doll with gently blushing cheeks, purple hair and googly eyes. She also comes with her own templates for creating and sewing different outfits. She is about 8.25 inches tall.

## Film Appearances

### Toy Story 3

Dolly first appears on top of a shelf in Bonnie's room, where Bonnie calls her "The Scary Witch" and plays with her.

When Dolly learns Woody's name, she asks if he's gonna "stick with that." She is shown to be sassy and is apparently the brains of Bonnie's toys, as she is the only one smart enough to not misread Andy's name when Woody holds his boot upside down.

Later, when Woody mentions Sunnyside Daycare after finding directions to Andy's home via computer, Dolly and her friends are shocked as they know about Sunnyside and its toxic environment due to Chuckles the Clown and she attempts to persuade Woody not to return.

In the end credits, she shows the toys drawings Bonnie has made for all of her toys, including the ones handed to her from Andy, and tells Chuckles the Clown that Bonnie got his smile right, making Chuckles smile for the first time ever since.

### Toy Story 4

In the fourth film, Dolly shows a more strict personality, taking up the role of leader of all of the toys in Bonnie's room. However, during a road trip, Dolly witnesses Jessie's leadership skills as she begins to question how good she is in her role. After witnessing Woody gives his sheriff badge to Jessie as he decided to be with his girlfriend, Bo Peep, as a lost toy, Dolly realized that she must do the same and gives her leadership status to her as well. Towards the end of the movie, Dolly is happy to see Jessie back from Bonnie's first day of first grade, then was introduce to a new toy, which Forky becomes smitten with.
