Lea Bing was first introduced in 2000 Bar as Barbie's Macanese immigrant friend, and the successor to Kira with Kayla (not to be confused with Kayla Vanderbilt from Dance Club). She had a active role in the Barbie line to 2000 to around 2006 when she was phased out, leaving the line without a character of Asian descent. She was somewhat reintroduced into the line in 2014, but was nameless, so it's only alleged.
