Barbara Ann Joestar
Barbara Ann Joestar (バーバラ・アン・ジョースター, Bābara An Jōsutā) is a tertiary character featured in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.
She is one of Joseph Joestar and Suzi Q's daughters and the mother of Jodio and Dragona Joestar.
Appearance
Barbara is a thin woman of average height with short dark hair. She wears different outfits in flashbacks; at home, she wears a headband and a T-shirt that says "Aloha"; while going to work, she wears a plain sunhat with a striped ribbon and a polka dot dress.
In the present, Barbara wears a polka dot sun hat, a long sleeveless vest with a polka dot pattern over a sleeveless top, and pants cropped above her ankles.
Personality
Barbara has a daily routine that she follows. First, she wakes up at 6:45 in the morning and begins her day by running the washing machine. She gets dressed in the bathroom, and then makes breakfast afterward consisting of toast, fruit, ham, eggs either fried or boiled for 7 minutes, and fried broccoli. Afterward, she wakes up her children with a good-morning kiss and hangs the laundry out to dry before she catches the bus to go to her job at 8:06 A.M.
Due to her children's support, everyone in the neighborhood respects and loves Barbara, providing her with assistance whenever she needs it. For instance, a neighborhood boy brings Barbara her bag if she forgets it, or another person may bring her an umbrella if it's raining while she's at the bus stop.[1]
She refuses to believe her son Jodio to have antisocial personality disorder. When a doctor informs her that Jodio might have it, she becomes displeased and calls him out for making such judgements.[2]
History
Background
Barbara and her husband moved to Honolulu, Hawaii from Atlantic City, New Jersey. However, due to unknown reasons, they separated and Barbara raises their two children on her own. She works at a duty-free shop in the airport.[1]
One day, her son Jodio Joestar took a psychological test at his school, and the results stated that Jodio might have antisocial personality disorder. Barbara refused to believe it, and demanded a refund.[2]
The JOJOLands
While on a bus, Barbara tries calling Dragona on the phone, but Dragona doesn't answer. She calls Jodio instead, to ask where they are. Jodio explains that they're just hanging out on the island of Hawaii and that Dragona's cellphone must be on airplane mode. Barbara hopes that they aren't hanging out with Paco Laburantes, since she heard rumors that he was in jail for about a year. She changes the subject to asking what they should have for dinner, but ends up choosing chicken burritos herself when Jodio says to pick anything. Before hanging up, she asks him to let Dragona know.[3]
