BiographyEdit
Hello! My name is Barbara Autruche. My father is Prince Cadichon, and my mother is the niece of the fairy Gangana. I'll tell you about the story. My grandfather Petaldo was prophesized to marry the niece of Gangana - if she had one. Since Gangana didn't have a niece yet, he married a woman named Gillette. He appointed her father-in-law Caboche to an important post. Later, Petaldo and Gillette had seven children, the youngest of whom, Cadichon, was their favorite since he was the most well-behaved. Petaldo's mother wanted to marry again, and she fell in love with the King of the Green Isles, who was younger than her son. But Gangana wanted her young niece to marry the king, so she cast a spell on the queen mother, changing her into a little girl, and turned Petaldo's six older children into marionettes, and put Dad on a guarded island. The Fairy of the Fields set out to save them. She managed to save them while Gangana was in the form of a flying black ostrich. Gangana was cursed to spend two hundred years as an ostrich. When Dad grew up, he married Gangana's niece.

I am the older of two children. I have a brother named Maxime. I live with my parents and my paternal grandparents. I also have my elderly great-grandfather Caboche and his wife (my great-grandmother) living nearby. Plus I've got aunts, uncles, and cousins. Maxime and I are going to Ever After High.

<p style="font-size:14px;">I am good at making marionettes, and I enjoy performing with them. I am also a skilled magician and I enjoy casting spells. Yet even though I am supposed to be the next Gangana (since I signed the Book of Legends), I don't want to cast evil spells. I only want to cast good spells that can help people. That's why I'm a Rebel.

<p style="font-size:14px;">I am also dating Ulrich Hut. He's a nice, down-to-earth boy. Even though I tend to dress in nice clothing and he dresses more plainly, I still like to hang out with him. I'll take off my hat and shoes. I try to keep his hat from blowing away.
