When I got into Mattel's Ever After High franchise,I was genuinely intrigued by the idea. Sadly, as it went on,it feels like there is hardly any representation of POC(people of color)and a huge lack of diversity. The Ever After High franchise has a total of 21 characters, and out of those 21 there are only 6(2 of them are even debatable on wether or not they are even POC) characters that are people of color. With this petition myself,and many others,want that small number to go up. Representation of people of color is important,how would a small child of color feel when there is only one character in the cast of 20+ characters that they can relate to? No child should feel left out. Many younger and older fans I've encountered all agree that this franchise needs more representation of POC and ethnic diversity. Diversity is important to many children and collectors,which are after all the audience for this franchise.

As a fan of this franchise,who is also a person of color, I would love to see more representation,as I'm sure everyone else who signs this petition would too.

The changes this petition asks for is for Mattel to add more dolls/characters that are people of color to their Ever After High franchise. The dolls are beautifully detailed and the animation and story plot are both very entertaining,but sadly not racially or ethnically diverse,and that needs to change.
