Barbara Parker/Relationships

## Relationships

### Hannah England

Hannah and Barbara are best friends who are constantly together, even when they're not with Diana. They both idolize Diana and share a lot of tastes and interests such as bullying Akko, but Hannah finds Night Fall, which Barbara likes, stupid, so Barbara is afraid of admitting it and being mocked. They also share their discontent towards Akko and non-witches in general. They always seem to be touching somehow, most of the time holding each others' hands.

### Diana Cavendish

Barbara always accompanies Diana even in dangerous situations. She always flatters her by saying that she is very studious and descends from a famous family. Alongside Hannah, Barbara initially acts as a sort of sycophant towards Diana before eventually grew to care for her as a true friend, which is evident in "Cavendish" as the two are left devastated by their friend's sudden departure and owed Akko to bring her back to Luna Nova. Diana on the other hand, as much as she cares with Hannah and Barbara, finding herself annoyed by their cowardice and not let either her or Hannah praised her excessively.

### Akko Kagari

Barbara always makes fun of Akko, believing her to be childish due to her constant incompetence and Shiny Chariot fantasies. This bothers Akko, but she prefers to ignore them. Despite their smug actions, they showed visible fear in Enchanted Parade when Akko became angry and both hid behind Diana.

Upon hearing that Akko convinced Diana to resume her education in Luna Nova, Barbara, along with Hannah, uneasily expresses their gratitude to Akko for her actions.

Following "Tree of Leaves", the duo made peace with Akko and her group, enjoying a day with them while Akko once again tried to fly on the broom. When Akko finally managed to hang in the air, Hannah and Barbara were surprised and genuinely happy for her.

### Lotte Jansson

Lotte is naturally a target of Barbara's teasing as a friend of Akko. Lotte becomes very upset when she overhears them calling her "Invisible Lotte" as they are teasing Akko, mocking her meekness. Lotte is bothered by the comment and later fires back by defending Akko's hard work for the Samhain festival.

In Keisuke Sato's manga's chapter 14, Barbara learned that Annabel Crème had come to Lotte in Luna Nova to seek inspiration for her next book; trying not to be recognized, Barbara broke into their conversation, demonstrating a better understanding than Lotte about Night Fall's characters; however, Hannah, unwittingly, had her caught by the writer and the Finn, surprising Lotte about her identity. Embarrassed, Barbara ran away in panic.

In the manga's chapter 15, Hannah and Barbara came to Lotte and Sucy's dorm to ask the latter to prepare a cure for Diana's Burning Sickness; Lotte, feeling sorry for them, convinced Sucy to help them; afterwards, Lotte and Barbara collaborated all night in search of the ingredients, along with Sucy and Hannah.

In *Chamber of Time*, Barbara asks Akko if she can trade with her the latter's signed copy of a Night Fall series' book, gifted to Akko by Lotte; thanks to the Japanese, Lotte and Barbara spent a pleasant day chatting about their beloved series; however, due to the Time Loop of which only Lotte and her friends are aware of, Barbara will have no memory of that experience.

In "Tree of Leaves", it is shown Barbara and Lotte reading a Night Fall book at Akko's flight party, suggesting they may have become friends.

### Sucy Manbavaran

Sucy is also a target of Barbara's teasing. Like some other students, they appear to fear her. As they tease Akko they call her "Creepy Sucy", in mockery of her ghostly appearance and eccentric fondness for poisonous mushrooms.

However, in Keisuke Sato's manga's chapter 15, learning that Diana was suffering from Burning Sickness, and that at that moment only Sucy could develop a cure, Hannah and Barbara swallowed the pride and went to Sucy for her help. Despite mutual dislike, thanks to Lotte's insistence, Sucy agreed to help Diana, and the four witches worked together to find the ingredients.

### Avery

Barbara, along with Hannah, is shown to have a very good relationship with Avery, as they were seen having a casual discussion about their vacations before heading to Luna Nova. They all share their negative bullying with the mortal-witch students being admitted to Luna Nova, and all three of them mock Akko when she shows that she doesn't know how ley lines work.
