## Physical Description

### Barbie: 2013 - 2015

Found dressed in some bloodied costume and bleeding profusely from a violent injury to her left leg, this mysterious girl stumbled into a patrol of Fingermen speaking what their report described as "gibberish" until they physically restrained her and asked what was happening. The report then says she stared at them silently for a time until they asked the question again at which point she spoke in "plain English" and asked for help.

After being taken to the hospital, this mysterious young woman would lose her leg and slip into a coma. She awoke during a power outage that disrupted her ventilator, causing her to wake short of breath and in a panic. Somehow, the girl slipped out of the hospital with one leg with a stolen crutch and only wearing a hospital gown and a necklace collected from her personal effects.

Sometime after her escape, she encountered an American fugitive living in England to evade the authorities and using the pseudonym Kenneth McCoy. Something about Ken attracted her to him and her good looks easily won him over. Upon getting her back to his apartment/drug den, Ken realized that the young woman had amnesia. The woman could not recall her name, had no knowledge of the political climate of England, and did not have any idea how she had lost her leg.

As a joke, Ken suggested she could be the Barbie to his Ken, a reference to the dolls. It turns out that the girl was fond of the name and took it as her own, much to Ken's later annoyance. Ken helped Barbie to get cleaned up, got her some clothes, and even bought her first prosthetic leg on the black market as a way of priming her to agree to join his schemes.

Barbie agreed to help Ken with one job where she was simply meant to act as a lookout and a diversion while Ken stole money and product from a rival drug dealer. However, the job went off the rails due to Ken's poor planning, requiring Barbie to take down the sentry when he returned from his coffee run quicker than Ken had anticipated. In doing so, Barbie and Ken both realized that Barbie was much stronger than she looked.

Ken convinced Barbie to help him with a number of other jobs, but as things got tense in England for the pair as Ken's antics caught up to them. Making a deal to save himself at the cost of betraying a friend, Ken scored a passage out of England on a boat to Gotham.

When Barbie learned what the cost of their boat ride, she decided she no longer recognized the young man she was with. When the boat docked in Gotham, Barbie shoved Ken in their cabin's closet and broke the lock off. When he finally freed himself, Barbie was long gone.

### Barbie: 2015 - Present

Barbie spent a lot of time on the street before she met Luigi Fusco. Fusco was a government agent on a medical retirement who had just moved from Gateway City to Gotham to begin work as a building superintendent for his old friend Greg Saunders. Barbie had a strange familiarity that drew her to this man after encountering him at corner market. It was the same inexplicable compulsion that had aligned her with Ken. Though uncertain about listening this instinct again, Barbie followed him home.

After introductions were made, Luigi had no answers to give for why she was drawn to him. But he agreed to help, offering her a job and room.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Gimmix*) Barbie has awakened from her dreams mentioning something called the Cuckoo. Though she is a lucid dreamer, what trauma is causing her memory loss is subconsciously causing this strange entity to manifest in her dreams and torment her. Confronting this Cuckoo might be the key Barbie needs to regain her missing past — if she even wants it anymore.
* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) It is possible that Barbie's power extend from some psionic ability or a combination of psionics. After a chance encounter with another tenant of her apartment building **[see Rose Walker]**, Barbie began reporting vivid and strange dreams. Psychic attempts to discern clues to her identity have not been forthcoming due to her immense psionic shielding.
