cn exclusive barbie letters, dunno where they're from still, the first one sounds like a s2 letter that may have been released with the barbalius line update?

忘了我们的约定吧

埃伦斯坦小姐：收到这封信的时候，您会是什么样的神情呢？我不敢想。我多希望这只是一场噩梦，不过好在，一切都快结束了。忘了我们的约定吧，但请您答应，我父亲的事，我和古伦・巴伐伦卡之间的事，您不要再插于。

Forget Our Promise

Ms. Ellenstein: What expression will you make when you receive this letter? I dare not think about it. I wish this was just a nightmare, but, at least, everything is almost over. Forget our promise, but please promise not to interfere in my father's affairs, or the affair between Gaelen Bavlenka and myself.

答案就在你眼中

小村姑，别对我生气，让我珍惜为数不多的还能这样称呼你的机会吧⸺⸺我今天说的是真的，说不准哪一天，你再也不会听到这个称呼了。毕竟，一切都变化地这样快。换了几个月前，你能识别我话里的话吗？而更久之前，我如何会相信，有个人能这样左右我的心情：让我堂而皇之顶着被羞辱的风险收回，那些仿佛披上了华服一样被精心修怖过的话呢？一切都是瞬息，一切都将过去，我只能向女神祈祷，您能像忘记一片融化的雪花那样，忘掉我拙劣的掩饰。您今天问我可不可以把那句话当做殊荣，其实您何必问，每一次你望向我，答案就在你眼中。⸺⸺巴巴柳丝

The answer is in your eyes

Little village girl, don't be angry with me, let me cherish the few opportunities I have to call you like this - What I said today is true, one day you may cease to hear this name again. After all, everything changes so quickly. If it were a few months ago, would you be able to recognize the words I speak? And even before that, how could I believe that someone could control my emotions like this? Let me take back those words that were carefully crafted as if draped in gorgeous clothes at the risk of being humiliated. Everything is fleeting, everything will pass, so I can only pray to the goddess. You can forget my poor pretense, let the memory be like a melting snowflake. You asked me today if you could take my word as my honor, but why do you ask, every time you look at me, when the answer is in your eyes. -Barbalius

Hey, just dropping in and letting you know that I like Barablius too, and share your lament that most of the HW fanbase hate him (IDK why) 😊

Hi, Anon!

I think Barbalius actually has some fans on the official ‘Helix Waltz’ Facebook group, but I also have a theory on the hatred he gets from part of the fandom.

For starters, a lot of people think he is being a snob to Magda even when he is trying to help her because he calls her ‘country girl’ several times. They are missing that in the context of the story, it sounds as a compliment. It’s the same as other characters who say she seems different from other noblewomen, or doesn’t sound like any noblewoman they know; in other words, Magda is not some frivolous entitled woman.

In Barbalius case, this seems especially true because his character profile says he is used to his very strict homeland, and coming to Finsel meant the first time he can talk to people as equals. Magda not coming across as a scheming noble is a positive.

Another thing is related to Barbalius’ side quests, namely that (spoilers ahead!) he asks for Magda to marry him and starts to list that it would be mutually beneficial for them, and Magda is upset at the prospect of marrying for interest.

Because I aimed sight at Barbalius right from the start of the game, I remember that he can be really self-deprecating when talking to her; he literally calls himself pathetic in the letter he sends after meeting her. In the final side quest it is said he was avoiding Magda after being rejected, i.e., ‘I offended her and now I am too ashamed to go set the record straight’, and then finally makes up his mind after he almost died without clearing things up.

Honestly, my conclusion here is that he did want to marry her because he likes her, but was not confident enough she would accept given only that reason - he tried to give her more logical reasons instead! Considering how Magda is, this was not a smart move, but I can’t hold it against him either.

By the way, I did not mean to turn my reply into a long-winded theory rant. I’m sorry! I see one of my Faves and I have to do a protecc, I guess. Thank you for your message! =D

The HW staff released Valentine’s Day interviews with Barris, Alan, Barbalius, Xavier, Carlos and Blackgloves! Link to the video is in the document. 

Enjoy! 

There is also an additional compatibility quiz that you can take with the characters who had an interview with Magda.

Barbalius: you tricked me! Gaelan: I deceived you, ‘trick’ makes it sound like we have a friendly relationship

Barbaryos: Diamond Blade As the representative of Knights Redtop, Barbaryos was dispatched to Verselle by the Lionheart Duchy to interview the Saintess. However, the Saintess didn't call him in the past months, as a result, he has no choice but to stay in this neutral city till now. Compared with Lionheart Duchy ruled by a rigid hierarchy, Verselle is the heaven for people who love peace and freedom no matter where they came from and who they are. The first time in his whole life Barbaryos makes friends that he can call them you… War Rune Lance: Lance equipped by elite Redcap Knights. A symbol of superb combat skills and toughness.

Barbalius: did you fuck my dad

Gaelan: Really, for all that you present yourself as above petty insults and crass jibes, hardly behavior befitting a Red Top Knight after all, it is you who always-

Barbalius: DID YOU FUCK MY DAD

Barbalius cares about the technical aspects of fashion too and is intimately familiar with the price, production, history, and appearance of various clothing dyes, even regional ones.
