When I first saw Barbara I found her a bit weird in Rayman universe but this is because you haven't played a human-like character before in Rayman series. After I found out that with her barbarian style, and the way she's smashing people with her axe are pretty cool.

That being said, Rayman games were indeed lacking of a female character since R2. Ly and Betilla were the only ones who had a big role and presence in a Rayman game. Ubisoft took it in consideration too for RL because still tons of manliness in RO.

Well, even if Barbara is a warrior, I don't mind. She's very funny.

Would be cool to see Barbara's mom/dad. Just out of curiosity, because in Mario series we don't know Peach's dad or mom and we have no explanation as to why a princess rules the country instead of the king or queen. Of course not taking the film as canon.

I think Peach's father was mentionned in the manual of the original nes game. Whatever happened to him next...

Humans REALLY aren't going to give the amount of Teensies a run for their money. There are ten Teensies in most levels, and we've seen that there were at least 600 Teensies to save, but with the 120 levels, it's probably even more, and when compared to the 10 or so humans, Teensies are still the main species of the Glade.

That being said, I'm not a big fan of Barbara myself, I just don't think that she's worth complaining about.

She could just well be another one of Polokus/Bubble Dreamer's creations, for all we know.

Oh, yeah, I hadn't thought of that. They could have been dreamed by Polokus to protect something? That would be cool. Cliché but cool.

What if he was one of the people who've been turned into bricks that Mario destroyed?

Mario has been always known for being a serial killer so I do find that theory possible.

Well yes but Damon Albarn and Dominic Howard are humans, and I'm a human. Does this mean I'm their gay lovechild?

(I hope so)

Yes you are.

Barbarians used to be in large groups, and since Barbara is the princess of a "group", I thought this could be her group. What I say is just a theory, though.

This might just be me, but when I played as both of them for the demo, I found no difference in their controls.

Maybe the Glade exists in this kind of sub-world or sub-dimension of Earth, somewhere inside a forest, on the other side of a small pool of water. You just need to jump in to find out...

You've been reading too much Dr. Seuss and Lewis Carroll.

BTW, isn't that a reference to Cow and Chicken?

No, I'm afraid not - well, it could be, but I don't know it, so I wasn't intentionally referencing it.

Female characters that act manly and have no manners have never appealed to me.
