Barbara Parker (バーバラ・パーカー, Bābara Pākā) is a student of the Luna Nova Magical Academy. She often accompanies Diana Cavendish and act as her loyal friend and assistant, along with Hannah.

Appearance

Barbara is a girl of average stature. She has completely straight and waist-length black hair, with teal eyes. Her eyelashes are highlighted in the lower part of her eyes and her eyebrows are a bit as thick as Hannah's.

Her Luna Nova Academy standard uniform consists in a dark blue skirt and jacket with buttons in the center of the same color, a white shirt and tie underneath, along with a normal blue belt. She wears long socks of the same color as the jacket, and dark brown shoes.

In her prototype design, Barbara had dark brown hair instead of black.

Personality

Barbara is shown to be a very mocking girl, especially towards Akko and her friends, due to her incompetence with magic and her academic level in the school, in addition to being a friend of Diana, who also does not have a good relationship with her. As a result of their attitude, in "Don't Stop Me Now", she and Hannah help Akko negatively in the broom race by transforming theirs into shoddy carts to participate, since Akko could not fly with hers.

Even when showing these bad qualities, she and Hannah has shown too much fear to the monsters or dangerous places to which Diana takes them, who thinks that they should give fear in fact and not the other way around.

Also, like Lotte, she is a fan of the Night Fall novels, although she's afraid of admitting it, as Hannah dislikes them.

Abilities and Equipment

Barbara, like all witches in the academy, has her magic wand. In the first short film, she uses them to to attack the Ancient Dragon with spells similar to lightning.

Akko mentions in The Enchanted Parade that Barbara is skilled in flame magic.
