Barbara (ブラン Buran? lit. Blanc) is a character in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade.
Barbara works at the General Store in the Garmon Mines District. Although her daughter Phoebe and husband Simon live with her, she is the sole operator of the store. She is cheerful, and very kind.
Barbara sells a variety of very useful items at her store that are used to increase your farm and home, such as cooking utensils, furniture, and makers. Her husband worries a lot about their daughter, Phoebe, but Barbara shares her daughter's interest in mining and ores and is often very laid back and lets her daughter roam free.
Barbara is a fan of ores, and treasure hunting. During the New Year's Eve Festival, Barbara also has her own stall where she will sell cooking utensils and appliances. They are in unique colors and styles that you will only be able to get at the festival.
The General Store is closed on Thursdays, which is one of the only times you will see Barbara leave the store. When Barbara isn't working, she can be seen outside in the Garmon Mines District (except in poor weather).

Ore Request
Befriend Barbara and get her heart level up to 3 hearts or more to see this event.[2] Walk into the General Store when Barbara is working, and she will ask if you've been to the mines. She expresses that she has an interest in finding a chunk of Rare Ore. She asks you to find some for her, and if you do, she will reward you! This event is not timed, and can be fulfilled whenever it is that you've found the ore.
Return with a chunk of Rare Ore once you've found some. Rare Ore can be found in any of the three mines (Upper Garmon Mine, Lower Garmon Mine, and the Watery Cave), and is found on higher numbered floors. You only need to return one piece of ore to Barbara. In return, Barbara will give you Perfect Butter and Perfect Cheese.
Barbara's Treasure Maps
Besides selling furniture and makers, Barbara also sells many treasure maps in her store. When purchased, they will give the player a vague clue of a spot to search in Mineral Town where they will find treasure. Upgrade the General Store to get access to more maps. The more expensive the map is, the harder the clue is to uncover.[3]
Below is a table of the maps, their clues, location, and treasure. This is completely optional, and yields no other reward other then the treasure you find with each map.[4]
