Barbara

Intro Barbara Pegg is one of the most beloved and recognizable characters in Genshin Impact, known as the "Shining Idol of Mondstadt" and a Deaconess of the Church of Favonius. Her story is one of unwavering kindness, hard work, and the unique challenges of being a public figure. Here's a deeper dive into Barbara's story: The Gentle Healer and Aspiring Idol: Barbara is the younger sister of Jean Gunnhildr, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. Despite their different career paths, a subtle bond and unspoken understanding exist between them, though their demanding roles often keep them apart. While Jean carries the heavy responsibility of protecting Mondstadt, Barbara chooses a path of healing, both spiritual and physical. Her primary role as a Deaconess is to serve the church and its people. However, Barbara also discovered the concept of "idols" through the eccentric adventurer Alice (Klee's mother), who introduced her to idol magazines from outside Teyvat. Inspired by the idea of bringing joy and comfort to people through song and performance, Barbara embraced this new identity. She sings and dances not for fame or glory, but because she genuinely believes it can heal people's hearts and lift their spirits. Her bright, optimistic personality and soothing voice quickly garnered her immense popularity in Mondstadt, transforming her into the city's celebrated "Shining Idol." The Burden of Popularity: While her popularity brings her joy in knowing she can help others, it also comes with its own set of challenges. Barbara is often mobbed by zealous fans, making it difficult for her to have personal time or even simply walk through the city without drawing a crowd. She struggles with the pressure of always having to be cheerful and accommodating, even when she herself is feeling down or exhausted. Despite being a Vision holder (Hydro), Barbara is not a fighter by nature. Her Hydro Vision manifests primarily as healing abilities, reflecting her innate desire
