Barbara was from Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia. She was quite thin due to a wasting disease that plagued her almost her entire life. It was difficult for Barbara to utilize her nutrients and maintain body fat.

Her large ears were indicative of the elephants from her area. She was naturally tusk-less, and had a long tail that nearly touched the ground. Although her tail was hairless when she arrived, 5 years later, the hair had grown, creating an effective fly swatter.
