Twyla

Twyla is a character in Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses. She is a kitten that belongs to Princess Genevieve, and she is voiced by Nicole Oliver.

Story
Owned by Princess Genevieve, Twyla first appeared when she was at Genevieve's spot at the table which King Randolph told her to get off. When Genevieve and the other princesses left when Derek arrived, Twyla started eating Genevieve's food.

When Duchess Rowena came to visit to help the girls with their nobility training, Twyla found herself being bullied by Rowena's pet monkey Brutus. Despite attempts to scare him off by claiming she was related to tigers from India, Brutus didn't believe this and began intimidating her. While she and the rest of the girls were celebrating Janessa, Kathleen,and Lacey's birthday, they were interrupted when Rowena came in and scolded the girls for running late and banned their dancing and singing until they learnt to be proper princesses. When the girls discovered a secret passageway, Twyla went along with them as they discovered a secret pavilion where the girls spent the night dancing.

The next day, Twyla saw Brutus enter the girls' room to go through their personal belongings and sleep on a bed. When she attempted to pounce on him, he jumped out of the way and left with the dancing shoes belonging to one of the princesses which had bene worn through. When Derek came by with new pairs of dancing shoes, Twyla traps his pet parrot Felix in the shoes box to which Genevieve told her off about. After the girls had been subjected to Rowena forcing them to do a lot of housework and scolded them for supposedly being the reason why Randolph was sick, Twyla suggested they spend some more time in the magic pavilion to give Randolph some time to recover.

After the girls, Twyla, Derek and Felix, escaped from the magic pavilion which Rowena attempted to imprison them in, Twyla was with Genevieve, Courtney, Fallon and Ashlyn trapping Rowena's manservant Desmond. After Desmond was able to free himself, Felix attempted to warn the others when Brutus got ahold of him and started plucking out his feathers until Twyla caught his hand onto a mouse trap. Grateful for Twyla rescuing him, Felix called her "Tiger" and the two later went to attend Genevieve and Derek's wedding.
