*Barbarella, played by Jane Fonda in the 1968 film, is an astronaut and the Queen of the Galaxy. She is tasked with stopping an evil scientist and her Concierge from bringing evil back into the galaxy. The character is portrayed as playful, sexy, and self-possessed. The film is a camp classic with absurd plot twists and outfits. Other notable characters in the film include John Phillip Law as Pygar, a winged man, and David Hemmings as Dildano, a comedy-relief revolutionary.

Barbarella is an attractive young woman. She changes outfits frequently but most are skin tight and somewhat revealing and some have a cape or a tail. Her outfits are easily torn.

She wears her Portable Brain-wave detector and Tongue Box on her left wrist, and her Energy Box on her left boot.

Barbarella is apparently one of the best agents the Earth has to offer in the 41st Century. She answers directly to the President of Earth himself and is entrusted with the best equipment of her time. She is tasked to take on the most serious and important missions on her own.

Even though Barbarella abhors weapons she is an excellent shot. She is well versed in the use of every weapon in her arsenal. She is also trained to work in zero gravity.

It is likely that beyond Barbarella’s pay, she has access to an enormous budget. For instance, she has offered compensation to those who help her along her way. However, none actually ever took the money as payment.

Barbarella also receives weapons and equipment for her mission via her Atom-transmitter onboard Alphie.

Barbarella uses her looks and sex appeal to gain help with her missions and is very good at gaining trust. When overwhelmed she will likely lie down and cry for help. Barbarella doesn’t spend Hero Points on the first point of damage inflicted on her. This may be to help with her portrayal as the damsel in distress.

Barbarella portrays herself as an innocent air-headed blonde. However, her superiors think enough of her to send her to hostile planets alone to accomplish missions.

Barbarella is friendly towards everyone she meets. When meeting others who do not understand English she will try French before resorting to her tongue-box.

When dealing with aliens who rescue her or help her along her way, she knows most want some kind of compensation which she provides in a James Bond fashion.*
