Personality
The Deaconess of the Church of Favonius, Barbara. She's hardworking, bright, charismatic, and optimistic, yet may be clumsy sometimes. The sight of the Idol of Mondstadt makes everyone have something of a "second wind" and become motivated.
Even after being a successful figure in Mondstadt, she feels doubt and feels disillusioned whenever thinking of the duration of one's smile on other's faces after hearing her song. Her desire for fame and recognition changed into the desire to help others in times of need. Though depressed, she cheers herself back up, not letting herself be down or depressed for 30 seconds.
She feels inferior to her "big sister" Jean (Genshin Impact), thinking everything she's done is of inferior nature to the Acting Grand Master and strives to do something that surpasses Jean's deeds at least once. She's the deaconess of the church, meaning she safeguards religious artifacts and worships Barbatos, although obliviously unaware that she has met Venti (Genshin Impact).

Character Mentions
Barbara is a hard worker, but I feel she's too hard on herself sometimes... What? You ask me how I know all this? It's because the order also manages the Church.
Have you heard Barbara sing before? Her angelic voice contains a magical healing energy. A different kind of magical energy from the one in my potions, of course. I wonder which one you prefer?
Barbara is like a thorn in my side, always nagging me about mass and choir practice. I wouldn't be surprised if Sister Victoria specifically asked her to keep an eye on me.
We take tea breaks together sometimes. Often she'll start humming a tune, saying inspiration has come to her. I'm not the right person to give useful feedback on anything musical... But I still love spending time with Barbara.
The darling Deaconess with the sweet singing voice — do you know her? You do? Idol, huh? Meet and greets? Concerts? Wow... That's the power of music for you...
Barbara? She's a very earnest Deaconess. I once had the opportunity to sketch her a simple portrait... What happened to the sketch? Ah yes... Albert offered to purchase it, but I rejected his bid and gave it to the Acting Grand Master. Social relations... really require a lot of effort.
She's the best singer and dancer out there! I always go to watch her in concert after an adventure goes south — it really lifts my mood, chanting along with all the other fans, cheering her on. It's really kinda magical! It's no wonder she's so popular... Boy, if I had even half her popularity as leader of my adventure team...
How come all my fans are drunk middle-aged men, while Barbara's are all young people...? Hmph! So stupid. Forget it!
Everyone loves her. What's her secret? Maybe I could learn a thing or two from her... Hmm, or maybe not. I can't imagine a "Shining Idol" would want anything to do with a descendant of a depraved dynasty.
Shining Barbara is a good child. Very good child.
Paimon: Barbara's really popular, isn't she?
(Traveler): Well, she is the idol of the people of Mondstadt.
Paimon: Come to think of it... Paimon doesn't really know what an "idol" is.
(Traveler): It's an occupation in which one's work is to be cute, be well-loved, and earn a boat-load of Mora.
Paimon: Isn't that the same thing as being a mascot?
(Traveler): That's... one way to put it.
(Traveler): I've heard that Albert, being the leader of Barbara's fan club...
(Traveler): ...Sometimes gets bumps and bruises on purpose so he can go to the Cathedral to see her.
Paimon: Paimon feels the Knights of Favonius should keep a closer watch on weirdos like that.
(Traveler): But it seems that a month later, Albert discovered that Bennett was managing to see Barbara far more than he was.
(Traveler): Well... Bennett (Genshin Impact) does have the natural advantage when it comes to getting injured, after all.
Paimon: What is this, a "let's bother Barbara" contest?
