Aina’s original or "trade" name, given by Mattel, denotes Skipper’s best friend, perhaps named for her whimsical appearance. The name may have survived as an alternate after the doll games began, though it would have been employed very rarely, and only when "Aina" was wearing her original head. Manufactured only for one year, in 1970-71, Fluff was one of two dolls present at the inception of Doll Games, a fact which has proved invaluable in efforts to date their origins.
