Full Name:
Barby Koala
Age:
17 (born day 240, 3217)
Gender:
Female
Species:
Mobian koala
Residence:
Downunda
Personality:
Normally she is a very sweet, dedicated person, trying to help her team as best as she can. However, whenever she gets frustrated, she starts to raise her voice, sometimes to the point of screaming. Fortunately, she isn't as quick to anger as some of the others. Should somebody really cross her, though, she'd take his head off—well, almost. Barby can get into fierce mode when the situation calls for it, and wouldn't think of hesitating to pulverize anyone who dares challenge her friends.
Barby prefers just getting the job done rather than show off. Originally, she worked for money; now she is very happy to help others for goodness' sake.
Barby is prone to stress, and whenever she isn't on a mission, she tends to keep active, either by riding a dune buggy or fishing to try to relieve herself of some of it.
Likes:
Candy; seafood; high places; going out at night; video games; a variety of sports; the colors red and brown
Dislikes:
Lack of sleep; dishonest and/or unscrupulous people; airheads; saying stupid things in front of others; petty arguments
Talent and abilities:
Barbed knuckles. They provide an extra kick to Barby's punch, and is her weapon of choice.
Ability to climb trees, surfaces. Barby uses her claws to easily scale trees (although she can still shimmy up smooth surfaces without diffculty).
Powerful jaws. Her powerful jaws may also serve a purpose whenever she fights.
Agility and balance. She has a good sense of balance; as a result, crawling along branches do not appear to be a problem. Her strong thigh muscles allow for great, long sprints.
Low susceptibility to toxins. Barby has developed a high resistance to toxins due to the eucalyptus leaves she eats—while damaging to others, Barby eats them without a care.
Swimming. Barby is also an able swimmer, traveling great lengths at a time.
Mediator. Barby is a known peacemaker. Whenever her friends quarrel, it is up to Barby to step in and keep things calm between the conflicting parties, while trying to come up with a solution that satisfies everybody.
Fluent in Bunyip language. Equally important is her fluency in one ancient language, that of the Bunyip; she took up the task of learning it at the age of thirteen.
Waterproof coat. Barby's coat is not only waterproof, preventing her from slowing down while swimming, but also suitable for all seasons, protecting her body from rain and wind.
Weaknesses:
Overheats easily. Koalas lack sweat glands; as it is, Barby can overheat easily and therefore limits her ability to do physical activities during the summer unless the activity cools her down (i.e., swimming).
Poor vision. Her vision is poor enough to require the use of contact lenses for just about everything.
Lack of strength. Barby isn't as strong as some of her other colleagues, making her rather easy to bruise.
Easy to stress. Barby is easy to stress and frustrate, usually whenever she is unable to solve a problem.
Heavy sleeper. She also insists on getting as much sleep as she can, and is therefore hard to awaken (and even when attempted, it is done at their own risk).
Limited computer knowledge. Barby is an excellent outdoorsman; however, this is offset by her utter lack of useful computer knowledge, knowing all the basics and little else.
Appearance:
Barby is a white-furred koala with black ears and nose, sharp front and hindclaws, short white tail, and light gray belly and breast. She also has retractable barbs on her knuckles, which can be used for vicious attacks. She wears a pair of red boots and red gloves with a black band around the wrist of the glove. Around her waist is a black belt with a gold buckle, keeping in place a brown sash worn over her left shoulder.
History:
Barby was born in Downunda and did not seem to enjoy life at first; her father was abusive and a layabout, while mother died from food poisoning when Barby was only six. One year later, her father lost custody of her; Barby jokes about it as the day she was "born again." She was placed in the care of the mysterious "Father," who cared for orphans affected by Robotnik's terror. She got along well with some of the other kids, including Duck "Bill" Platypus and Vector the Crocodile. Friendships later became contentious, and Vector fled Downunda as soon as possible, something that continues to annoy Barby.
Around the age of fifteen, Barby started taking up mercenary work, becoming a hired muscle for anybody willing to pony up the right cash, and only if she believed it to be for the common good. While pay was decent, the frequency of the jobs she took on were very sporadic. She continues to keep in touch with Bill, wishing she could do something worthwhile with him.
Anything Else?
Barby is an experienced dune buggy driver, sometimes using it for leisure.
