In September of 2021, American Girl released Maritza Ochoa as one of the first three World By Us characters. Maritza was later retired in December of 2023.

"Maritza is Bolivian on her mother's side, Mexican on her father's side, and 100 percent American soccer player. She dreams of playing for the U.S. women's soccer team and even coaching it one day. Her teammate Violeta has those dreams too, but she worries she may never reach them because her family immigrated to the United States from El Salvador and may be sent back there. Maritza believes that families belong together, and with her new friends Makena and Evette by her side, she makes a plan to help. Can Maritza find the courage to lead with her heart?"
