"You don't fucking get it! Just cuz I'm outta rehab doesn't mean I wanna see you. I never wanna see you, EVER!"
―Barbie Wire, to Blitzo

Barbie Wire is a minor antagonist who is first pictured in the Helluva Boss pilot, and makes her official debut in "Unhappy Campers".

She is a former circus performer and Blitzo's twin sister, the adoptive aunt of Loona, as well as the former co-worker of Fizzarolli.

Appearance[]

Current[]

Being Blitzo's twin sister, she has a striking resemblance to him. Barbie is a slim, red imp with large curled horns, red eyes with yellow sclera, sharp teeth and black, claw-like fingers. Like the rest of the all-imp circus she has a heart-shaped skull marking on her forehead.

Across her skin are white stripes, some forming crosses on her forearms, as well as one crossing out the heart-shaped marking on her forehead that features a heart on the top and bottom.

She wears a short, sleeveless dark red and white striped turtleneck dress with few ripped areas and black thigh-high boots. She also wears black panties underneath.

In "Unhappy Campers" she also wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with torn edges and a wristwatch that contains an Asmodean Crystal inside the orb allowing her to shift into a human disguise.

Young[]

As a child, she lacked the white markings on her arms and forehead she has as an adult. She also lacked the black coloring on the tips of her fingers.

As a teenager, she wore braces.

Human Disguise[]

With the power of the Asmodean Crystal, Barbie takes the form of a light brown-skinned human woman with dark brown hair in two pig-tails. While she retains her white markings and clothing, her eyes irises change to pale red and her sclera to white.

Personality[]

Barbie is an egotistical, narcissistic, and manipulative woman who has a bad temper and is rude, even to her own drug supplier. Very much like her brother, she has very arrogant, selfish, dependent, and demanding traits, and easily becomes unreasonably upset when things don't go her way.

She is also cunning and has a low opinion of humans, considering them to be easy to manipulate, as she can easily use her seductive feminine charms to woo her victims into doing her bidding.

In "Unhappy Campers" she is shown to have a hatred for Blitzo, when she says she wants nothing to do with him. The reason for why she acts like this is currently unknown.

She seems to have some standards when it comes to forms of "illegal activity". She is fine with selling drugs, but was openly disapproving at the fact that her supplier, Counselor Jimmy, killed another camp counselor and refuses to hear any excuses, especially when it could possibly threaten her drug-selling job, like when Jimmy said that the other counselor found out about her drugs, and it could risk reaching the law enforcements about it.

Abilities[]

  • Human Disguise - In "Unhappy Campers" she uses a special wristwatch containing an Asmodean Crystal to take on a convincing human appearance to disguise herself in the living world.
  • Prehensile Tail - She is able to use her tail to grab and throw things, as shown when she did this while fighting Moxxie to prevent him from killing Jimmy in "Unhappy Campers".
  • Endurance - TBA
  • Charisma - She can use her sexual feminine charm to manipulate humans, showcased in "Unhappy Campers" when she acted cutesy while making sexual gestures toward Jimmy, so he did what she wanted.

Skillset[]

  • Combat Prowess - She is very handy in hand-to-hand combat, as she was able to throw Moxxie with her tail easily. She takes on aggressive actions more, as she was able to fend off Moxxie and Blitzo by herself.
  • Acrobatics - She may be talented with acrobatics since her family owed a circus.
  • Stealth - TBA

Trivia[]

  • Her name may be a pun on "Barbie" and "barbed wire".
  • Her first appearance was in the non-canon Helluva Boss pilot in a poster in Blitzo's office with a third imp named Tilla advertising them as "The Amazing Imp Siblings".
    • In the official series, the poster was changed to exclude Tilla and the text was changed to be "The Amazing Imp Twins".
    • In "Ozzie's", Blitzo has a picture of Barbie Wire and him as children, with their mother, who resembles Tilla.
  • In "Spring Broken", it is mentioned by Verosika Mayday that she was with Blitzo's sister during her stay in rehab, insulting her by claiming that rehab is for "sad, loser wash-ups". However, it is unclear if this was true or merely an insult to Blitzo.
    • In Barbie's debut episode, "Unhappy Campers", it is revealed that Barbie having resided in a rehab was true.
  • She is the second character to get official merchandise before her actual appearance in the Helluva Boss series, following Andrealphus, in her case, an enamel pin.
  • According to Donna Zammit, Barbie's default imp form was designed by Vivienne Medrano while her human form was designed by the collaborative efforts of Zammit herself, Vivienne Medrano, Amanda Heard, and Cécilia Goncalves.[2][3]
    • Additionally, Amanda Heard also designed Barbie's torn sleeveless jacket while Cécilia Goncalves designed her unique wristwatch.[4][3]
  • Because of her Asmodean Crystal, she is the first and so far the only imp to have a human disguise that is not merely a costume.
    • Also because of this, she is the first known imp to possess a crystal in the first place, as these are usually, if not only, given directly to Succubi by Asmodeus himself.
  • In Barbie Wire's social media profile, she lists "Acrobatics, endurance, stealth, improv, and labor" on her experience.
  • Despite being on bad terms with Blitzo, she doesn't pronounce the "o" in Blitzo's name the first time she sees him, as he prefers, but then pronounces it later on.
  • Barbie Wire seems to be a smoker, as seen in her St. An's Hospital rehab profile on Blitzo's phone.
