Origin
Barley Lightfoot first appeared as the deuteragonist of the Disney/Pixar film Onward, voiced by Chris Pratt. A fearless adrenaline junkie and fan of the tabletop RPG Quests of Yore, Barley had a close bond with his late father Wilden, who later died of a mysterious disease. On his younger brother Ian's 16th birthday, their mother Laurel gives them a staff, a phoenix gem, and instructions for a spell to resurrect Wilden for a day. Ian learns he has an affinity for magic and attempts to cast the spell, but Barley interrupts before he can finish casting it, causing Ian to accidentally destroy the gem and only bring back the lower half of their father's body. The brothers embark on a quest to find a replacement gem and complete the spell, with Barley mentoring Ian on magic with his Quests of Yore knowledge.
