Barbara
Barbara the Baby Bison (also known as Barbara Bison) is a female bison calf who lives in the North American landscape.
Physical Appearance[]
Like any typical bison, Barbara has light brown fur on her body as well as a shaggy brown fur which she has all over her body. Unlike other bison whose visible eyes are always covered by their mane, Barbara has visible eyes, as there is no mane covering her eyes. Barbara is smaller than the adult bison in the series, due to Barbara herself being a bison calf.
Personality[]
Barbara serves as the parents of two adult bison who live in the North American landscape. She is shown to be cheerful and playful such as chasing a butterfly or playing around the meadow. In spite of that, Barbara dislikes when bees chase her after she encounters them, implying that Barbara has a fear of bees. Despite that, she can appear in occasions with or without her parents depending on the episode she appears.
In occasions where Barbara is seen with her parents, they are shown to be kind to those who reunite their daughter back with them (such as the case of Alfie and Charlie who bring back Barbara to her parents after Barbara forgot where her parents left off). In spite of that, Barbara's parents dislike when their daughter feels sad. A situation like that was in her debut episode, where Melanie showed empathy to Barbara by giving her the last tree for the bison family, showing empathy to Barbara's family.
