Official Description Personality
While his younger brother Ian is small, quiet, and awkward, Barley is large, loud, and excitable. He is a free-spirited, roleplaying metal fan who is prone to getting into trouble. Unlike Ian, he has memories of their father, and can describe who he was in small detail. Despite being a little teasing, Barley never loses faith in his brother and is always there for him. He has a strong devotion to Ian and fully believes he can bring their father back to life and summon magic back to their world. Throughout his little brother's life, Barley has stuck by Ian's side and encourages him to rise above his own self-doubts and try new things, something Ian didn't fully realize until he recollected the journey they'd taken together had fulfilled his checklist he'd originally made to spend time with their father. Although Barley is always optimistic and unafraid to press on, he has his own issues and regrets. His last memory of his father was being too afraid to see him in his condition on his deathbed and not going in to say goodbye. From then on, Barley swore he'd never be afraid again. Once he discovered the historically based roleplaying tabletop game "Quests of Yore", Barley became obsessed with the past, not just for it's excitement, but especially because back then, people brought out the best in themselves, whereas today, people have technology to make life simpler and less dangerous. He will fight to the death to protect artifacts from the time of magic and often gives tidbits on life and creatures in the days of old. This obsession has lead him to neglect his own responsibilities and the real world around him, and his rowdy personality and over devotion to history has lead him to be a bit of an outcast among his fellow peers and unfairly called a "screw up" (which upsets him) by the police and one time by Ian. Barley is also rather overconfident and believes his years of playing Quests of Yore will get them far on their first real life quest. His knowledge and confidence does help, but it especially makes Ian skeptical of his brother's ideas.
Physical appearance
Barley is a 19-year-old elf with a large and stocky build. He has blue skin, pink ear tips, hazel eyes and cheek apples, and beard stubble. He has an armband tattoo on his right arm. He wears a black beanie and T-Shirt with a "Quests of Yore" brand 'Q' on it, covered by a large denim vest with numerous patches and pins sewn on it bearing the logos of various metal bands, army green shorts, and large black and white sneakers. Barley bears a resemblance to his mother, Laurel Lightfoot as he has her rounded face, nose, and sturdy, muscular physique.
Barley Lightfoot is introduced when Ian heads to the table to move the board game Quests of Yore. Thinking his brother is interrupting his gameplay, Barley holds Ian in a playful headlock, then his mother Laurel Lightfoot tells him to let him go, and he drops him. Barley tells Ian that there is a "mighty warrior" within him that he has to learn to let out. After he headlocks Laurel, who manages to throw him onto the floor like Ian could have done, she tells him to take out the trash. Barley gets up and drops the trash back into the can outside, only to discover Laurel's boyfriend, Officer Colt Bronco walking up to the house in disapproval. He shows the family footage of Barley attempting to stop a construction site from demolishing an ancient fountain, the free spirit having no regrets, remarking how the town's past is being destroyed. Laurel tells him that he has to start focusing on his future and less on the past. Colt agrees, saying "You can't spend all day playing your board game." Barley defensively says that the game he is playing is not just a regular board game but rather a historically accurate scenario about what it was like before modern technology arrived. He tells Colt of how centaurs used to run up to 70 mph instead of traveling by car and then Ian that he could learn a lot from this game and he should try it out, holding the game's wizard figurine right in his face. Ian tells Barley to be careful of his late father's sweatshirt he is wearing to which Barley tells him he doesn't remember his father wearing it, and that he had three memories of his father: "His beard was scratchy, he had a goofy laugh, and [He] used to play drums on his feet." He demonstrates this on Ian's feet and accidentally flips Ian's toast onto the floor. When he picks it back up, he accidentally tears Ian's sweatshirt and winces. When Ian heads to the front door to get some more breakfast before school, Barley offers to start an ancient 16th birthday ceremony and holds out a pretend sword, urging his brother to kneel before him. Ian nervously says no and leaves.
Later, Barley dresses as a warrior of old, abruptly arrives at the New Mushroomton High School area via his van named Guinevere, and offers to escort Ian and his invitees to their house for the birthday party. Ian is horribly embarrassed by his brother and leaves toward the van. Barley shoves a bunch of violation tickets into a glove compartment full of others to make room for Ian and offers to wipe smeared ink off his face. When Ian pushes his hand away and tells him to just take them home, Barley shrugs off the dejection and drives off, casually stating that in ancient times, birthdays were celebrated with solemn quests.
Upon receiving a wizard staff from the boy's father, Barley is blown away and says this means Wilden must have been a wizard. Barley then looks at the instruction of how to use a Visitation Spell to which he explains that a rare Phoenix Gem is required to use this spell which was included with the staff. This spell is supposed to bring Wilden back for one whole day so he can see who his sons grew up to be. Barley proudly takes a shot at trying this spell, but nothing happens. After many failed poses with the incantation, he finally slumps onto Ian's bed with Laurel, her other son, and their dragon, Blazey. Laurel tries to comfort her sons, saying at least this means how much Wilden wanted to see them. Barley sighs with disappointment and leaves the room.
Later, he walks back into Ian's room and is shocked to see Ian using the Visitation Spell as their father begins to appear starting with his feet. As the spell gets harder to hold for Ian, Barley offers to help, but Ian backs away, causing the gem to shatter in midair and render the spell incomplete. Wilden Lightfoot emerges as just a pair of legs and, since he can't hear them, Barley gets down and plays drums on Wilden's feet to let him know who is there. The legs then discover Ian's foot. Barley explains to Ian that the spell only lasts for one day and they have to find another phoenix gem if they ever want to bring him back completely. His face lighting up, Barley rummages through his Quests of Yore cards and pulls out two cards depicting the Manticore and her tavern. He proudly explains it is the place where all quests begin and the only place to find a way to the Phoenix Gem. Barley and Ian plan to start their quest via riding on Guinevere. On the freeway that night, Barley says that the first thing he's going to do when they bring their father back is introduce him to Guinevere. He catches Ian with his new checklist of things he wants to do with their father. He then tells Ian to practice using magic in order to revive his father. Ian is later seen trying to pull off the levitation spell but can't quite do it. Barley insists Ian to speak from his "heart's fire" and say the spell with passion. As Ian tries again, Barley keeps egging him on until Ian gives up for now, to which Barley gently says, "Hey, it was a good start."
Just then, they arrive at the Manticore's Tavern. They, along with Wilden, who has a fake upper body and is attached to a leash, walk up to the entrance doors as Barley says that they must give the Manticore the respect such a warrior deserves or she won't tell them how to find the gem. He also instructs Ian to let him do the talking. Upon entering, Barley bows before The Manticore, who now goes by Corey, and asks for a map to a Phoenix Gem to which she gives the two a kid's menu based on her old maps. Barley politely requests an actual map, and once they find one displayed on a wall, Barley explains what they need this map for. Corey, struggling to keep her restaurant running smoothly, refuses to give them the map at first since, according to her, she quit sending people on dangerous adventures. She goes to fix the karaoke machine and Ian tries stepping in. Barley is skeptical of his brother disobeying his instructions and after Ian's little talk, Corey is lead to feeling enraged of the lie she is now living. She angrily drives the customers out for "remodeling" and sets the tavern on fire just as Barley, Ian, and their late father escape. Barley is exhilarated by Ian's first successful use of the levitation spell to stop a beam from crushing their dad and declares he will definitely get the visitation spell down by now. The map got destroyed in the fire, so Barley hands Ian a children's menu done by a customer named Kayla with a clue suggesting the gem is at Raven's Point. Ian says the expressway will get them there the quickest, but Barley suggests using the Path of Peril, explaining that on a quest, the easy path is never the right path. He tells Ian of how one day, he and his friend where playing Quests of Yore and his friend took the easy path, sending him into a deadly gelatinous cube and Barley "followed [his] gut" and continued on the longer path.
On their way to Raven's Point, Guinevere runs out of gas to which Barley climbs on top to search for a nearby gas station. Ian suggests they use magic to fix their problem. Barley teaches Ian the growth spell to enlarge the gas can (alongside the fuel inside it). He instructs Ian to stay focused on the can, but he absentmindedly keeps distracting him, so Ian gets fed up and lets go, accidentally shrinking his brother. Ian says he didn't need Barley's help, which offends him. Ian leaves with Wilden to get more fuel at the nearest gas station and Barley, albeit pouty from Ian's request not to help him, follows. They arrive at Swamp Gas and enter the station's mart. Ian asks the storekeeper for gas while Barley hops out of the pocket, trying to get a bag of Cheese Puffs and requesting a trip to the bathroom. Ian buys a few bags and a bathroom key, increasing his total cost. After Barley uses the bathroom, he runs into The Pixie Dusters, lead by Dewdrop and begins lecturing them on sprites in the old days. Ian, panicked, grabs his brother and accidentally makes Wilden, who is attached to a leash, knock over the Pixie Duster's motorcycles, making them furious. The brothers and father rush to Guinevere, fill her up with gas, and hop in. However, due to Barley's diminutive size, Ian is forced to drive this time. Barley instructs him on every turn until they finally elude the gang of sprites and make it onto a road heading to Raven's point.
