Revision as of 00:17, 2 April 2020
Barley Lightfoot is an elf and the deuteragonist of the 2020 Disney/Pixar animated feature film, Onward. He is the older brother of Ian who serves as a mentor, protector, and best friend.
Background
Personality
While his younger brother Ian is small, quiet, and awkward, Barley is large, loud, and excitable. Unlike Ian, he has memories of their father and describes who he was and how he acted. He fully believes Ian can bring their father back to life and summon magic back to their world.
Although Barley is always optimistic and unafraid to press on, he has his own issues and regrets, as his last memory of his father was being too afraid to see him when he was sick and Barley was supposed to say goodbye. As a result of not being there for his father's final moments, Barley swore he'd never be afraid again.
Despite being a little teasing, Barley never loses faith in his brother, Ian, and encourages him to rise above his (Ian's) own self-doubts, and is always there for him; something Ian didn't fully realize until he recollected the journey they'd taken together fulfilled his check-list he'd originally made to spend time with their father.
Barley loves fantasy and quests despite the world moving on from that time, and will fight to the death to protect artifacts from the time of magic causing him to be a bit of an outcast among fellow peers, and unfairly called a " screw up " (which upsets him) by the police, and one time by Ian.
Physical Appearance
Barley is a 19-year-old elf with a large and stocky build. He has blue skin and beard stubble. He wears a black beanie and T-Shirt with a 'Q' on it, covered by a large blue vest with numerous patches and pins sewn on it, green army shorts, and large black and white sneakers.
Barley bears a resemblance to his mother, Laurel Lightfoot.
Trivia
- This is Chris Pratt's first animated role in a Pixar film having previously made his animation debut as Emmet in Warner Animation Group's The LEGO Movie and its sequel.
- Before his father’s death, Barley used to play drums on his feet.
- Barley has four memories of his father.
