I realize it's unlikely what with Kaya billed as the First American Girl, a title she's rightfully earned and that I don't bedgrudge her. But...I really sort of wish they'd set her date back far enough that I could have my pilgrim doll, just think of the beautiful meet outfit she could have!

Though they probably couldn't do much more than that meet outfit in terms of clothing, unless they gave her a few optional vests or something, but considering all the wardrobe pieces, going authentic would probably be a pain and I doubt many girls would want to struggle with dressing her.

I can see why she'd be a bad sales item really, but all the same I'd love her. I'd even love if she just had a story or two, were there any Plymouth Colony stories in the History Mystery Series? I remember the one about the identured girl in Jamestown...

I could also see the aspect of the character's religious beliefs creating a problem. Since it was so central a part of pilgrim life and worldview, it would need the proper treatment in her stories and it would likely be quite difficult for the intended audience.

All the same, I think that these are only tiny difficulties and that if a pilgrim girl WERE made, she would be a great ambassador to the past. As unlikely as she seems, I'll keep hoping anyway.
