Origin

Barley Lightfoot first appeared as the deuteragonist of the Disney/Pixar film Onward, voiced by Chris Pratt. A fearless adventure-loving adrenaline junkie and fan of the tabletop RPG Quests of Yore, Barley had a close bond with his late father Wilden, until Wilden 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 turns out to have an innate affinity for magic, but accidentally destroys the gem in an attempt to resurrect their father. The brothers embark on a quest to find a replacement gem to finish the job, with Barley using his Quests of Yore knowledge to mentor Ian on magic.
