Full Name: Barbara
Nickname(s): Princess, Barbs, Babe (By Rayman), Righteous chick (By Grand Minimus)
Age: Unsure (Though she's likely somewhere in her late teens.)
Height: 5 foot even
Weight: Unabashed about the question, she will proudly answer 180 pounds including her axe.
Gender: Female
Race: Human (Though given she was created in the Glade of Dreams she also counts as a dream creature in a few ways)
Alliance: Protagonist
Home: The Glade of Dreams (Specifically, somewhere in the unexplored portions of Jiberish Jungle near the coastline where her family castle rests. These days however Barbara often leaves the castle and lives life with Rayman and the others.)
Franchise: Rayman Legends
Physical Description
Barbara is a very messy and unkempt young lady, though it is very typical since Barbara is a Barbarian Princess. She wears very ragged clothing consisting of a green animal hide shirt matched with a green skirt held up by a belt with a skull buckle and animal fur covers over boots. Topping it is a Viking Helmet with small metal bird wings decorations on the top, sitting atop a head of messy orange hair. Barbara is even more notable due to her missing molar and the scar tracing down her face between her eyes before meeting her left cheek. Her shabby appearance is as much a part of her as her axe, which she carries with her everywhere she goes, whether by holding it in hand or by a latch attached to the back of her shirt.
Weapons
And speaking of her Axe, Barbara's trademark weapon is a tool that packs quite the whallop. Due to her heritage as a Dream Creature, Barbara's axe has a stretchy handle that can launch out like a spring loaded boxing glove capable of downing larger enemies with little trouble. When not used for that however, the axe is still incredibly sharp and sturdy, whether you are using it as a cutting weapon or as a club.
Abilities/Powers
Compared to some of Rayman's friends, Barbara is actually a bit of a plain-jane. However in spite of her lack of stretchy limbs (Or lack there-of) or humongous girth, Barbara makes up for it with her ability to hover through the air using the wings on her helmet. Along with that, she's capable of some of the other skills Rayman and his friends are capable of doing, such as Wall jumps, defying gravity to run up walls and along cielings, shrink her size to fit into tight spaces (And only return to her normal height when she changes back). While technically not a power, Barbara also isn't shy about weaponizing her poor personal hygiene, such as spreading around magical lice, exhaling obnoxiously bad breath in her enemies faces (Characterized by the breath being an almost toxic green), and various other points on her body as well.
Skills
Much like her newly made friends, Barbara is very athletic and in shape, capable of making large jumps and running long distances. Unlike Rayman however (But much like Globox's Slap-Fu), Barbara has formal training with her axe and has once taken on an entire army of toads to save Rayman, succeeding in spite of the overwhelming odds, and despite the fact that General Toad (A giant toad that goes into battle wearing a very technologically advanced armor, armed with missiles lasers and barrier projectors) had been there to present more challenge.
Personality
Brash, impulsive, the kind to rush in and swing her axe first and ask questions later (If not never ask them at all), Barbara is a fierce warrior who jealously protects everything she cares about. However before you think that she's a serious character with very serious goals, she's every bit as goofy and lighthearted as Rayman and the gang, normally spending the day goofing off with them, joining in on friendly rough-housing or a round of Kung-foot.
History
Born as the daughter of an infamous Viking King, Barbara's life was all about adventures on the high-seas, pillaging lands outside of the Glade of Dreams, spending the days pigging out on meat and whiskey with the fellow men on board her father's ship when she wasn't being educated by her father or the other women in her clan about how to fight, or when she performed parkour runs around Jibberish Jungle. No-one really knew why she did either, Jibberish Jungle was a dangerous place filled to the brim with obsticals that no normal person could navigate.
Many people in Barbara's viking clan came to believe that Barbara, along with her Twin Sister Elysia was destined to do great things, and when the two grew up, it appeared that that would be the case. They one day traveled so deep into the Jibberish Jungle that the twins came across a mysterious tent, belonging to an odd old man smoking a bubble pipe whom was quite amused that they had managed to find his humble home. The old man introduced himself as Hocus Polokus, the Bubble Dreamer and Creator of the Glade of Dreams, including their home and all other worlds beyond. Shocked at their discovery, Barbara and Elysia continued exploring their new surroundings giddily, hoping to learn more about what things were really like. However no sooner did they discover paintings that served as portals to other worlds, including a shortcut back home, the Bubble Dreamer started having horrific visions about nightmarish forces rising in his creations, all of them lead by the evil hands of the Magician, Ales Mansay, whom had apparently survived his demise at the hands of Rayman a century before and had teamed up with the versions of himself from other worlds to take it all over.
Hearing that her home was one of the places being attacked, Barbara teamed up with her twin sister Elysia and rushed back home with all due haste, only to find that her kingdom was over-run, as the native monsters (Which Barbara 'affectionately' calls jerks) had teamed up with another feared creature in her home country; The dragons. Out-numbered and out-gunned, Barbara and Elysia at first tried to raise an uprising against the monsters, only to have a great deal of their numbers locked up. Barbara was the only member of her clan to escape imprisonment thanks to Elysia.
As she made her escape, she found herself hounded by enemies on all sides, all of them intent on bubblizing the pesky princess...
In that moment however, a triumphant shout of giddy joy shouted above the squall and the righteous heroes of the Glade, Rayman, appeared. Teaming up with Barbara, the two laid siege to the castle, defeating enemies left and right, eventually reclaiming Barbara's home dimension, driving out the enemies and dragons alike and defeating one of the Magician's clones.
Ever since that day, Barbara has followed Rayman, Globox, Grand Minimus and Goth Teensy around everywhere, enjoying life one day at a time with her new friends, joining in playful free-for-alls, burping contests and just having a grand old time, while her sister Elysia looked after her kingdom along with their father.
Other
In this continuity, it's hinted at times that Rayman and Barbara share a semi-romantic relationship, Rayman often making passes at 'Barbs', whom just as often smiles and jokingly returns. It is unknown at this time if it will stay a playful and platonic relationship, or if it will evolve into something else entirely.
