Considering the French origins of the series, isn't it possible that she could be from a Mainland European region? Her dress sense has a lot of commonalities with Asterix and Obelix for instance...they're well renowned French characters that are Gauls, if memory serves.
Though I'd consult with the French of the site on that matter, they'll know more about this than I.
Dude, I remember Asterix and Obelix. Abhinav is the one who introduced me to those characters!
That's actually an interesting point you've made, really.
I can see why people don't like Barbara, but I personally like and accept her as a member of Rayman's team. My thoughts on her haven't really changed since I said something about this back in July, so I'll just put this here:

While she doesn't have as much to go off of as the main dynamic duo [Rayman and Globox], I've grown to accept and like Barbara as a part of the main group. The games haven't gone into her personality at all, but I've already come up with one that I think fits her and plays off of the other main characters pretty well (I'd be happy to share if y'all were interested ), so that's not much of a problem for me. I agree with SilverLum that the next game - or maybe an animated TV show or a comic, either one would work - should give her a more substantial role, like going into her character and personality more by showing she and Elysia's sisterly bond or her interactions with Rayman and Globox.
Maybe I should go into her personality and character on my fanworks page? I'd just need to find the time to do it...
If I'm informed correctly, I believe userscripts are something you run on your own browser? So it's not something done by the forums or to do with the website, but more something that Plum's written and runs locally on Plum's own web browser that modifies how Plum sees it.

Yes, exactly! It works for me on luakit, and it's supposed to work on mobile Firefox with the Tampermonkey extension, but it prefers not to, most of the time

I always assumed she was a Germanic warrior, to the extent that in the old days I used to draw her with runes in her speech bubbles. (God I miss those days )
Aurora and Twila on the other hand, I'm pretty sure they're Scottish (specifically Pictish)!
I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between any two of the ten princesses even if I spent a whole day memorizing. They are that much generic filler characters to me.
I can only tell that Barbara is Barbara. I have no idea what the names of the others are, nor do I want to spend my time learning this, for the same reason that it's not that interesting to me.
