## Character

### Personality

A daughter of Pandora and a member of the La Familia Madrigal, Barbara shows a natural affinity for magic, and her ambition and kindness have only grown stronger with time. Despite her striking beauty, Barbara is far more interested in the power and knowledge that magic can bring. She spends most of her time delving into ancient tomes and exploring the intricacies of spell-casting. Her insatiable thirst for knowledge has led her to develop close bonds with the children of Athena, as both share a passion for learning and discovery. But Barbara's magical ability aren't just limited to her academic pursuits. She possesses a natural talent for charm magic, using her wit and charisma to win over even the most difficult of opponents. Her confidence and self-assurance are unmatched, and she isn't afraid to take risks or speak her mind when the situation calls for it. Despite her ambition, Barbara's kind nature always shines through. She is quick to offer a helping hand or a kind word, and she always puts the needs of others before her own. Her empathy and compassion make her a beloved figure among her fellow campers, and many look up to her as a role model.

### Appearance

Barbara's Colombian heritage is evident in her sun-kissed complexion, which is smooth and blemish-free. Her eyes are a warm brown hue, and they sparkle with intelligence and curiosity. Barbara's most distinctive feature is her luscious, wavy hair, which falls in loose curls down her back. It's a rich shade of reddish-brown, with subtle highlights that catch the light in a delightful way. Her hair frames her face, adding to her natural beauty. As for her outfit, Barbara is dressed in a delicate baby pink dress that accentuates her feminine curves. The dress has a fitted bodice that flares out into a flowy skirt, which sways gently as she moves. The fabric is light and airy, perfect for the warm summer day. The pastel orange flats she's wearing add a pop of color to her outfit and complete her look with a touch of whimsy.

### Gift

At age five, Barbara got her gift of reading minds. Her great-grandmother (Alma Madrigal) saw her gift as curse than a gift. But Barbara doesn't use this gift, very often.

## Myth- Pandora

As before, she is created by the next Hephaestus, but now more gods contribute to her completion (63–82): the next Athena taught her needlework and weaving; the next Aphrodite "shed grace upon her head and cruel longing and cares that weary the limbs"; the next Hermes gave her "a shameless mind and a deceitful nature"; the next Hermes also gave her the power of speech, putting in her "lies and crafty words"; the next Athena then clothed her; the next Charites adorned her with necklaces and other finery; the next Horae adorned her with a garland crown. Finally, the next Hermes gives this woman a name: "Pandora [i.e. "All-Gift"], because all they who dwelt on Olympus gave each a gift, a plague to men who eat bread".
