bio
Hey! My name is Dana! My friends call me “Sugar Shoes” because when I step out, I do it sweet!
Bratz Style It! (First Edition) Dana (2003)
RELATIONSHIPS
Dana is technically the sister of Maribel and Tiana since they appeared together in the third edition of the Bratz Triiiplets line, but this specific set is often considered non-canon by Bratz fans.
appearances
Dana made her first appearance as part of the Stylin’ Salon ‘N’ Spa playset in 2002, making her the sixth main character to join The Bratz Pack and assuming the main fifth character position when Meygan briefly left the brand in 2003. Dana has since become a staple secondary character in the Bratz brand, and has made appearances in the Lil’ Bratz, Bratz Babyz, Itsy Bitsy Bratz, Bratz Kidz, 4-Ever Kidz, Bratz Lil’ Angelz, 4-Ever Lil’ Angelz, and Mini Bratz lines.
MEDIA
Dana has made appearances in several books. Dana appears in the films Bratz The Video: Starrin’ and Stylin’ and Bratz Kidz Sleep-Over Adventure, as well as the 2012 video game Bratz Fashion Boutique. Dana is also mentioned in the Bratz television series in the 2005 episode “Manicuring Candidate”. Dana was set to appear in the video game Bratz Party Night before its cancellation.
Trivia
Dana’s birthday has been changed several times. In the 2004 book Bratz Annual 2005, Dana’s star sign is listed as a Cancer, meaning her birthday would fall between June 21st and July 22nd; this may have been an error on either MGA Entertainment or the publisher’s part. In 2005, Dana’s Big Babyz Style Certificate lists her birthday as August 22nd. In an official StyleCaster article about Bratz zodiac signs in 2023, Dana’s birthday is listed as September 28th.
