 * Barbara's Scenario: Main character
 * Other scenario: Playable character, recruitable from Northpoint, Uso, Crystal City, Altours, North Estamir, South Estamir, Tarmitta or Weston

Default Equipment
* If Barbara is recruited to a party, she will have the Amethyst Fatestone equipped

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.
