Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent:
** She lies to Gordon's girlfriend to try to break up their relationship, a tactic used by Renee earlier in the season.
** With Ra's al Ghul, as revealed in "One of My Three Soups". Which is the reason why he chose her as the new Demon's Head.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: As crazy as depraved as she becomes, it's clear by season 4 that she genuinely cares about Tabitha, even [[spoiler:surrendering the power of the Demon's Head back to Ra's to save her life]]. She's also clearly got some lingering affection for Jim Gordon, [[spoiler:which seems to lead them into a one-night stand in season 5 when Jim's at his lowest]].

* HazyFeelTurn: Throughout seasons 4 and 5: after getting killed by Tabitha Ra's brings her BackFromTheDead, and her personality becomes noticeably more stable; she reconciles with Tabitha, tries to stop Ra's and Jeremiah's plan to blow up Gotham and aids Jim regarding the Haven bombing. That said, she's still a gang leader who will kill at the drop of a hat - her helping Gordon seems to be from a combination of lingering affection and their having the same enemies.

** She tells Gordon that she won't stand for him to keep secrets from her, while in the same conversation keeping her past drug use a secret when telling him about her relationship with Montoya.

* {{Irony}}: In season 3 she asks Tabitha is there's any chance they can move past her killing Butch. There isn't and Tabitha kills her. In season 5 Penguin asks her the exact same thing regarding [[spoiler:his stabbing Tabitha to death]].

** After the ten-year time skip in the finale she's somehow become one of the largest real-estate developers in Gotham, a hell of an achievement for someone with her history. Subverted: the newly reborn Joker specifically targets her in that episode on account of her past with Jim, nearly killing [[spoiler:her daughter]] as a result.

* LargeHam: Once she's Queen of Gotham is she ever this as her blatant insanity is on show for all to see - in any other show Erin Richards' spectacular scenery-chewing would overpower everything else. It's toned down a lot once she dies and comes back thanks to Ra's, but still rearss its head from time to time - like when she becomes head of the League of Shadows.

* {{Narcissist}}: Seen subtly at first with her over-the-top reactions to Jim shutting her out his work life (actually for her own safety), then explodes into full-fledged megalomania in season 2 and 3. Best seen in her multiple attempts to kill Lee because she can't stomach Jim loving someone else, and her blithely assuming Tabitha will forgive her for killing Butch.
* NeverMyFault: Never takes any responsibility for the problems caused by her own actions, and often states how any fall out is causing her stress. When Ra's Al Ghul [[spoiler:has her resurrected]] she states she doesn't know why everyone hates her, despite her variously acting like a dick towards, betraying and trying to kill Gordon, Lee, Penguin, Butch (who she actually does kill) and Tabitha.

* VillainessesWantHeroes: As much as she wants Gordon to suffer for leaving her, she's still very much obsessed with him. She even tells Lee in Season 2 that he and she are meant to be together because they both have 'the same darkness' inside them. While this cools as she [[spoiler:inherits the Demon's Head]] in season 4, it never totally goes away, leading her to [[spoiler:hook up with Jim when he's at his lowest in season5, leading to the birth of their daughter]].

* WildCard: After awaking from her coma and being released from Arkham, she's continued to work with criminals like Cobblepot, but she's also helped Jim dig into the Wayne murder and exposed Clayface as a fake Jim. Subverted inseason 4 as she develops some sense of kinship with Tabitha and Selina.

** In the Season 1 finale, she tries to poison Leslie and Gordon's relationship, but unlike when Renee tried it on her, Leslie saw through it. Barbara then tries to go the other route and kill Leslie in her house but didn't count on Leslie being stronger than she and capable of beating her unconscious.

It's more like Barbara Really Gets Around than is mentioned as particularly attractive.


* EvilRedhead: Inverted. In the 10-year time skip, she dyed her hair red and is fully redeemed.



* InformedAttractiveness: Barbara’s certainly a pretty girl, but it’s a little strange that so many men fall in love with her so quickly like she’s Aphrodite. She instantly seduces Aaron, a fellow inmate, into protecting her, gets the attention of the millionaire inmate to the point where he sends Jerome to try to win her over for him, and gets both Theo and Tabitha Galavan almost instantly. Not to mention, Theo and the millionaire have a semi-fight over her. Even Jerome seems somewhat interested, staring at her when he first sees her with a weird smile and calling her gorgeous(though this IS Jerome we’re talking about, so he may have just been trying to freak her out, and he did say he was just being polite with the second thing.)And this is all in season 2, episode 1.

Daughter of Rha's Al-Ghul and his successor as the leader of the League of Shadows.

'''All spoilers are unmarked.'''

* AvengingTheVillain: She wants to avenge Rha's death at the hands of Bruce and Barbara. Especially in the former's case, she's determined to see him suffer before killing him.
* HiddenVillain: She isn't seen for most of season 5, while posing as Jim's contact with the government on the mainland. Eventually, she intervenes personally after Eduardo is briefly taken out of commission.
* VillainExitStageLeft: She's last seen fleeing the scene after her fight with Jim and Barbara. While she did take a knife to the gut, it's unclear if it killed her. Even if she made it out, it's clear that she didn't go after either of them again during the TimeSkip.
