present !!
barley came to elias to help his brother find a magical phoenix gem. the gem will hopefully bring their father back.
while in elias, barley has begun to build a life for himself. for so long he worried about ian’s needs, wants and desires, filling in a role of a father that ian needed. it meant his own needs fell to the wayside and now he’s allowing himself to be a little selfish.
he’s figuring out what he wants and who barley lightfoot really is. while the search for the phoenix gem is important, barley is also happy that for once he can put himself first.
he’s found a father figure in howl - which he didn’t know he needed.
he’s just doing a lot of healing ( kinda !! ) and having fun and also having a crush on a girl which is wild to him !!!
past !!
tw: barley’s past mentions parental death, weight loss and cancer mention
barley lightfoot, the oldest son of wilden and laurel lightfoot, is not exactly his mother’s pride and joy. he’s more of a headache but loved nonetheless. when barley was four years old his father died of cancer. h only has three memories of his dad: One, that he had a scratchy beard, two he danced funny and there he used to play drums on his foot.
many think that the passing of wilden only affected ian because barley held it together and let his optimism shine through when in reality barley has three memories of his father. his last one being he was too afraid to say goodbye to him which lead barley to vow to never be afraid again of anything.
being raised by a single mother, barley took it upon himself to become not only an older brother but a father figure of sorts to ian. he taught his brother everything he knows. from riding a bike to shaving his face ( if ian ever grows facial hair hehe ! ) his entire life was really dedicate to taking care of ian. his brother was so much more anxious and quiet than barley. he’s always been there to give ian an extra push even if he comes off as overbearing.
and while ian was golden, barley was seen as the screw up. his mom’s boyfriend likes to say it the most. he wasn’t as smart as ian or gentle. he was like a hurricane - reckless. he was smart in other ways but that didn’t really matter when it came to academics. in high school he didn’t have many friends. he was an outcast who played d&d, listened to rock music and believed in magic when no one else in new mushroomton did. no one really paid him any mind - certainly not girls. barley wasn’t exactly their idea of what attractive was. he was a nuisance around town. annoying barley lightfoot.
barley tried his best to be the best version of himself for ian. if everyone thought he was a screw up he didn’t care but ian’s opinion on him did. so when he dropped out of college it felt like the picture he had began to paint was now being ripped at the seams.
the summer after he dropped out of school that’s when things began to change for barley that summer he got hot. with time on his hand his mother begged him to find something else to do other than trying to save ancient magical sites or sitting in the basement all day playing games. so he turned to the gym to get into superhero shape for fun and came out with a six pack. that’s when people began noticing him. barley wasn’t a fan of his new found attention on his looks.
life didn’t really change for barley until ian’s twenty-first birthday. it was a big day! bigger than barley expected because their father had left a special gift for ian. wilden had left a spell to bring him back. while magic was not used in new mushroomton for years, barley had held onto the hope that it still existed. to know his brother could be a super cool wizard was amazing! ian breaking the phoenix gem .. not so much. thankfully, barley had extensive knowledge on the quest of yore and knew that the only other place that had a phoenix gem was the manticore tavern which just so happened to be in elias, california. so barley packed him and ian up into his trusty van guinevere and began their grand adventure.
future !!
i’m wanting barley to realize he’s gotta pour into his own cup as well as others. for so long he’s put so much devotion into ian and i need barley to know he did a good job. he did the best he could while trying to parent himself and his younger sibling because NO ONE gives you a book on how to do that shit. i’d just want him to believe in himself. he fell off thinking he was a screw up which isn’t true. i’m hoping barley will grow some confidence in himself.
also work through his feelings with his dad’s passing .... baby you need to HEAL. it’s okay to feel sad. let’s not repress.
in the future he’ll use his big imagination and become a videogame designer. there he will be able to use elements of fantasy and creates worlds he’s only dreamed of just as he did during d&d campaigns.
