Raquelle is a character in Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale and Barbie: A Fairy Secret. She is voiced by Britt Irvin. Raquelle is an actress who went to school with her ex-best friend Barbie. They went on to act together even though they found it hard to get along with each other.

Role in A Fashion Fairytale
Raquelle briefly appeared in the film. As she was rehearsing her movie scripts with Ken, she recorded his lines so she could practice while she was alone. Ken thought she would play it on the school speakers, which embarrassed him, and he thought he sounded like a dork. Raquelle convinced him to let her record his lines. As "a joke", Raquelle sent Barbie a recording of some of the lines, where Ken breaks up with someone. Her excuse was that she didn't really think Barbie would take it seriously, but Barbie got upset and wanted to get away, so she went to Paris to visit her aunt. Ken decides to go meet up with her, and leaves Raquelle. Barbie's friends, Grace and Teresa, look as if they are about to shout at Raquelle, but it seems her relationship with Ken is fine as they are friends in the next film.

Role in A Fairy Secret
Raquelle isn't getting as much attention as Barbie at a film premiere, so she rips Barbie's dress "by accident". The next day, Barbie confronts her about it, but as they are distracted by each other, Ken gets kidnapped by Princess Graciella's assistants. Barbie wants to go with her fairy friends, Carrie and Taylor, to rescue Ken, but Raquelle wants to come too, because she considers Ken one of her friends, and she has a crush on him. In Gloss Angeles, a city in the fairy world,

Barbie and Raquelle are captured and realize they are not friends because of a misunderstanding. They forgive each other and get beautiful wings. Graciella tells Barbie and Raquelle that their wings will disappear when they return to the human world.
