The 6th Friend

Can there be a sixth Friend?

If you think there is one already, who is it?

Many fans may say it's Livi. After all, she is even shown as the sixth member of the group on the pop star sets.

Livi has appeared in six different sets, and she even appears in one of them without being accompanied by any of the five main girls.





She seems, however, like a temporary member limited to the Pop Star sub-theme.

Some may argue the sixth Friend is Matthew. No other male mini-doll has accompanied the five Friends as often as he has. He goes to school with Stephanie, has rescued the bear cub in the jungle with Mia, and has flown with Olivia in the private jet.



Later this year, he will be going to the amusement park with Andrea and Emma! An interesting fact is that he always comes in a set released in the second wave of the year since his first appearance in 2013. I'm not sure if it's intended or just a coincidence.

And how about Kate? She has been in different sets herself, and she has had her own small set where she is the only mini-doll. She was also the gift mini-doll attached to The Adventure Guide book published by DK. And don't forget that she is one of the three girls in the Mini-doll Campsite Set released this month.





In contrast to Matthew, Kate has appeared only in the first wave of the years between 2013 and 2016.

But if we start naming everyone who has made more than one appearance, we get a pretty long list: Andrew, Joanna, Liza, Maya, Naya, and Sophie. And it looks like Naomi and Nate will be making their second appearance later this year. But of course, those characters have not been seen nearly as often as the three discussed above.

There may be no official sixth Friend, but it is nice to have all those familiar faces in Heartlake City.
