Barbara - RL

Barbara is a barbarian girl who becomes Rayman's travel companion. Unlike most other female characters in the Rayman series, Barbara is a human. She wears a winged helmet, a green outfit consisting of a tube top, skirt and trousers, tan-coloured furry boots, and a brown belt with a skull attached to it. She also has long, curly red hair, with two parts of it tied into ponytails at each side of her head, has one of her teeth missing, and a large scar across her face. Also unlike most characters in the Rayman series, she carries a weapon - a double edged battle axe which she wields to dispatch enemies, but can also use as a board to slide on surfaces. Barbara is described as confident, overeager, reckless at times, and a fierce warrior. She loves the thrill of battle to the point of bordering on recklessness, but her strong sense of honor and loyalty keep her wilder side in check. Her strength is derived from years of training the perfect technique, and while she can make mistakes when caught in the heat of the action, she is quick to regain her footing afterwards. Barbara's favorite foods are T-bone steak and turkey legs, seeing forks, plates and napkins as useless time-wasters. Examples of her favorite music include ancient war songs and Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." She also appears to like rock music, playing an air guitar with her axe at the end of Castle Rock, Dragon Slayer, and Grannies World Tour. Her hobbies include taking naps and playing cricket with the skulls of her enemies. She also tattooed herself at one point, though it is unknown where it is located or if it is still on her person. Barbara has a heavy North American English accent. Barbara seems to also have a twin sister, Elysia, who chooses a darker look to not be mistaken for Barbara, and both have a cousin by the name of Sakura; who dressed like a geisha.
