Biography
Rocki Gillespie is the main antagonist in Barbie: A Touch of Magic. She is a Glyph who disguises herself as a human from a magical world called Mesmer. Rocki follows Peggy, a wish-granting pegasus, to Earth so she can wish for wings.
In "When Barbie Met Peggy", Peggy's Mom creates a portal and tells Peggy to go through it. Using fake wings, Rocki follows and yells for Peggy to wait for her because she needs something from her. Peggy lands on a beach and is found by Malibu and Brooklyn. They leave the beach before Rocki arrives. A little boy sees a glowing feather that fell off Peggy and puts it on his sandcastle. Rocki pounces for the feather, destroying the sandcastle. The boy gets upset so Rocki groans and uses magic to build him a bigger sandcastle. Later, Rocki sees Peggy in Malibu's car. Rocki steals someone's scooter but promises to bring it back. After spotting Rocki chasing them, Brooklyn wishes they could get away from her. Peggy grants Brooklyn's wish and prevents Rocki from following. Rocki returns the scooter. She tells the scooter rider that a Glyph always keeps her promises, then uses a spell to make the scooter rider forget she mentioned being a Glyph.
In "Finding Home", Rocki encounters two girls named Chloe and Ji-soo while searching for Peggy. The girls take a selfie with Rocki and mention a selfie museum. They compliment Rocki's distinct appearance. Rocki uses magic to make the girls forget meeting her and then to disguise her appearance. Malibu wants to ask Rocki about Peggy. Rocki asks Teresa, who works in a pet store, about food for small magical flying horses. Malibu and Brooklyn arrive and ask about the same thing. Rocki uses magic to make Malibu, Brooklyn and Teresa forget. Rocki recommends Malibu and Brooklyn food and wants to help them give it to Peggy, but they leave without her so they can return a phone to Teresa's cousin Alex. Rocki follows Malibu and Brooklyn to Alex's new store, which used to be a Halloween store. Rocki likes a small prop house and is too distracted by it to notice Peggy outside. Rocki mentions a selfie museum, giving Alex an idea for his store. Later, Rocki shrinks herself and uses the small prop house as a home.
In "Barbie, You Can Drive My Car", Rocki wakes up and changes back to her normal size. Alex is surprised to find her in the store because he just opened. Rocki makes up an excuse for being there and Alex offers her a job. When Alex asks for her name, Rocki says it is hard to pronounce. He needs a name for the job application, so Rocki looks around for inspiration. She pretends her name is Rocki Blinkybulb after seeing a prop of a rock and a blinking light bulb. Alex wants a break from working, so he temporarily leaves Rocki in charge of the selfie museum. He tells her to dust, answer customer questions and has her reluctantly promise to stay in the store until he returns. She is magically prevented from leaving because of her promise. Rocki uses magic to make a feather duster work on its own, but tries to make it stop when customers arrive. She accidentally creates many more feather dusters. Customers assume the dusters are just props. Rocki manages to make the dusters disappear before Alex returns, and then Brooklyn comes by and asks for a job.
In "Ken One and Ken Two", Rocki implies that she doesn't have any friends, but when Brooklyn asks her about it, Rocki pretends that she does. Rocki wants to get invited to the Reardons' housewarming party. Rocki asks Chloe and Ji-soo about friendship. She learns that in order to make friends, she must be nice and have people like her. Rocki helps Trey a lot to prepare for the party, hoping it will make them friends. During the party, Trey tells Rocki that it is his parents' party, so they have to be the ones to invite her in. Rocki is surprised because she thought she and Trey had become friends. Trey says he isn't a good friend and thanks Rocki for helping before going back to the party. She is magically prevented from entering his house since Glyphs can't enter homes uninvited. Rocki sees another party going on in Ken's backyard. Peggy made clones of Ken as a wish, so Rocki disguises as Ken. She dances with the clones and has fun until Ken sees her eating sushi. He hates sushi so he knows his clone wouldn't do that. Rocki freezes everyone and tries to get to Peggy, but Peggy stops her. When everyone unfreezes, they can't remember what happened. They let Rocki party with them and Rocki is happy to have friends and knows where Peggy lives.
In "Peggy-napped!", Rocki kidnaps Peggy and shrinks her. Rocki uses the small house she sleeps in to keep Peggy imprisoned. Malibu finds out Peggy is missing and suspects Rocki is responsible. She shows her friends a sketch of Rocki's original appearance and ask around about her. Brooklyn and Ken ask Trey if he saw anything unusual, and he describes seeing Rocki chasing Peggy. In the selfie museum, Rocki puts Peggy in a cage within the small house and says it won't be long until she gets what she wants from Peggy. Rocki tells Peggy she will be her prisoner until Peggy's wings grow, and she won't be free until Rocki gets a wish. Teresa visits and Rocki hides Peggy behind her back. Teresa shows Rocki the sketch Malibu made and asks if Rocki has seen her, or if anyone strange came by asking about a little horse. Rocki denies everything. After Teresa leaves, Peggy uses magic to heat up the cage Rocki is holding. Rocki drops the cage and it disappears, freeing Peggy. Peggy hides under a prop so Rocki returns Peggy to her normal size. Peggy escapes and Rocki chases her to the beach. Rocki sees Malibu and the others arrive and they find Peggy. Rocki hides and accidentally gets sand in a woman's food while hiding, so the woman gets annoyed. Rocki uses magic to make the woman change her mind.
In "Skate to Me, Barbie", Rocki has a new sidekick, a duck she has named Tiger. She plans to have Tiger help her steal Peggy again while everyone is attending a roller dance competition. Rocki ends up agreeing to be Malibu's partner for the competition. Rocki wants to cheat, but Malibu never cheats. Malibu teaches Rocki how to skate and Brooklyn suggests that Rocki might win the competition. Rocki says she has never won anything before. Trey makes fun of her, so Rocki retorts. Brooklyn and Malibu stop them from arguing. During the competition, Rocki badly wants to beat Trey. She keeps trying to cheat using magic, but Malibu stops her. After seeing Rocki use magic, Malibu realizes Rocki is the girl who has been after Peggy. Malibu is upset because she thought she and Rocki were friends. Rocki says they can still be friends and does a powerful forgetting spell on Malibu. Malibu forgets their routine and even her own name. Rocki mentions cheating again and the word "cheat" makes Malibu remember most things. They lose the competition, and Malibu still can't remember that Rocki has been after Peggy.
In "There Might Be Dragons", Rocki makes a new exhibit for the selfie museum where customers can pose having dinner with Tiger. Tiger makes a mess and Brooklyn refers to Tiger as a "pet". Rocki says Tiger is her confidant, not a pet. Tiger flies outside and Rocki runs after her, leaving Brooklyn alone in the store. Rocki sees a dragon in the sky. She thinks it is a dragon from her world. Rocki tells Tiger that if the dragon is who she thinks it is, it could "ruin everything." Rocki tells Tiger they must stop the dragon. They catch up to the dragon at the beach, and it turns out to be Blissa, who was transformed into a dragon by a wish Chelsea made. Later, a real dragon appears in the city.
In "A Real Page Turner", Malibu finds information online about a book on Mesmer, a magical land with pegasus horses. Rocki overhears Malibu mentioning the book to Brooklyn. Rocki tells Tiger that her plan will be ruined if Malibu and Brooklyn find the book and send Peggy back to Mesmer. Rocki follows Malibu and Brooklyn to the library and they get the book before her. They meet the author of the book, Dru Charles, who says Glyphs can be tricky, have a certain level of their own magic, and don't get along with pegasus horses. She adds that Glyphs cannot grow their own wings; instead, they must earn them. Malibu and Brooklyn don't think Peggy is safe with Rocki chasing her, so Malibu asks how to get Peggy back to Mesmer. Dru is unsure. Rocki returns to the selfie museum and is shocked to see Elvy, a magical creature. Elvy recognizes that Rocki is a Glyph. Rocki freezes everyone, but her magic doesn't work on animals or Elvy. Elvy teleports Rocki to the Dreamhouse backyard and everyone unfreezes at the selfie museum. Rocki sees Peggy, but Skipper stops Rocki from doing anything. Rocki pretends to be innocent and does a forgetting spell on Skipper. Peggy stomps and repels Rocki with a blast of magic. Rocki runs away and Skipper wonders what happened, but finds Rocki suspicious. Elvy reads from the book, which says to beware the Glyph.
