Battle
Barbara's stats befit that of a martial artist. High Vitality ensures a solid Defense (making her great for the front row) while a high Compassion makes her a great healer. Her HP, Agility, Strength and Skill also grow at an average pace, making her fluid with any physical weapon type.

This combined focus of physical stats make Melee combat a solid choice for Barbara as it plays to her strengths.

Her Magic tends to suffer however, and she has the lowest base Willpower of the main characters, making her weak to enemy magic.

She begins with the Demonology spell "Energy Bolt" learned, as well as the Amethyst Fatestone equipped (ignoring her own story, in which she must view an event first) which nullifies enemy Demonology used on her.

Trivia

 * Barbara has access to the earliest possible Fatestone, the Amethyst. When you begin her story, simply talk to the Minstrel in the Weston pub and he will give it to you.
 * If Barbara is recruited into another protagonist's party, she will come equipped with the Amethyst Fatestone.
 * Barbara is one of the two main characters that start off their story with a mount, the other being Aisha. Though Aisha's mount can be used by other main characters, Barbara's cannot. Her mount can only be used if Barbara is your main character.
 * Barbara is the only main character to start off with a specific skill belonging to her, Demonology, no matter what class you choose.
