American Girl Doll - Julie --hair is shortened

Julie Albright is the ninth Historical Character, representing the 1970s. Julie was released in 2007 and was part of the BeForever collection Julie lives in San Francisco and is the youngest of two with an older sister, Tracy. At the start of her first book Meet Julie, her parents Daniel Albright and Joyce Albright have recently divorced and she is moving to a new apartment with her mom and out of her childhood home. Julie is a fun-loving, happy, and spirited girl who is full of energy and new ideas; she is, however, prone to fits of despair at the upheaval of the world around her. She finds it a duty to stand up against the prejudices against her from the past in contrast to her best friend Ivy Ling, with whom she sometimes fights (as Ivy prefers to adjust to life the way it is and not get into trouble). This is at least partially because Julie is affected by these prejudices including being tormented by the school rumor mill as a tomboy, wanting to be an athlete which is assumed to be only for boys, and a child of divorce. Still, she also feels for others affected by assumptions of tradition. Though Julie initially finds the changes in her life bothersome or uncomfortable--such as her parents' divorce, she often tries to make the best of her situation and even courageously seeks to make some of her own changes.
