Here is some information about Marisol from the American Girl wiki:
Marisol Luna is a Latina--specifically, Chicana--girl who, at the start of her stories, lives in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. She lives with her father and mother in the very Latino-influenced neighborhood. She is bitterly disappointed when they choose to move away from her neighborhood to the suburb of Des Plaines. Not only will she be leaving her home, but her new neighborhood does not have a dance studio for her to practice at.
Marisol is an aspiring dancer. She primarily dances in the traditions of ballet folklorico, but at the start of the story has recently started ballet; she has only had a little jazz and tap training. (Despite this, American Girl marketed her collection more with modern dance and nothing about ballet folklorico was included or any other mention of her heritage.) Marisol is lively and resourceful.
She is described by both her teacher and her principal as their best student, and she often tries very hard to be good in her dance classes, even though ballet is more difficult for her than folklorico and jazz. She is also very competitive, and enjoys competitive sports (excluding football) as well as dance. She often has a stash of candy with her. She also has a cat named Rascal, who she adopted off the street when she was seven years old.
