Does anyone recognise this (80s) doll?

I've been helping my parents tidy their loft and have rediscovered some old toys I'd forgotten existed, including my Rainbow Brite doll 😊 Apparently they are worth a few £ now 🤷‍♀️ However, she came out of the bag with a friend but I can't work out who the other one is. It doesn't match any of the pictures of Rainbow Brite characters I've googled. I thought she must be from the same range, but maybe not - does anyone recognise her?

Thank you all!

I have a definite match: Ari Doll

Unfortunately the price seems to have gone up from when I bought them. They were 45p/55p or £1.10 in a bath.
I had around 50 of them. I would say at that price I'm sitting on a fortune, Wink however very few of them have their original clothing as I made them more clothes, and they were dressed for the occasion. Grin

Oh I had a Dolly Surprise and a cat thing that you could buy extra tails for and Velcro on.

I always wanted Rainbow Brite but I think one Christmas it was a choice between her and Cricket and I went for Cricket. Which I absolutely loved until my 'friend' told me it was the sister of Chucky and it got thrown in the downstairs cupboard never to return.

Does anyone remember the Baby William dolls? I had a whole collection of them!

I loved the Get Along Gang I had the Clubhouse Caboose and the Haunted Badger Mansion, and all the characters. And I had Rainbow Brite everything! Wallpaper, duvet, dolls, colouring books, board games - you name it I had it.

@Thecurtainsofdestiny
I had Baby Williams too.

Also Tiny Ones. They were less than an inch high and also came in a match box.

I don't think I had the Tiny Ones. But there were dolls that came in a kind of pod thing too...had forgotten all of this!

I had a Tressy doll in the late 60s/early 70s. Her hair could grow longer,you could retract it with a button in her tummy area.

My sister had Tressy too. I only recently realised why she was called that Blush
