What is known about Barbra is that she went through a series of foster homes and dreamed of being a Broadway dancer since she was a child. By adulthood, she got work as a stripper at a club in Midtown, Manhattan. Barbra usurped the identity of Odette Morton, even if Odette herself made it possible, by paying for plastic surgery to turn Barbra into her twin, after noticing the near striking resemblance between them when she walked into the club, so that "Faux-dette" (Barbra) could do all the things, like boring lunches and community service for crimes, that Odette felt were beneath her.

  • What is known about Barbra is that she went through a series of foster homes and dreamed of being a Broadway dancer since she was a child. By adulthood, she got work as a stripper at a club in Midtown, Manhattan. Barbra usurped the identity of Odette Morton, even if Odette herself made it possible, by paying for plastic surgery to turn Barbra into her twin, after noticing the near striking resemblance between them when she walked into the club, so that "Faux-dette" (Barbra) could do all the things, like boring lunches and community service for crimes, that Odette felt were beneath her. Barbra "took over" as Odette when they were both in a serious rail accident, and Odette was killed. Barbra pretended to be Odette and left the real Odette to be buried under Barbra's name. She already knew practically everything about Odette's life from the coaching Odette had given her to play her, but there was a vital discrepancy - Barbra was diabetic. After she became Odette, she had to hide her insulin and her injections, as they were not consistent with Odette's medical history, and anyone who discovered her with them assumed she was taking drugs. She stopped going to Odette's doctor for the same reason. Nonetheless, she portrayed Odette as the heiress who desired to redeem herself after a near-death accident and got to live her dream of being a dancer by competing on the reality show, A Night of Dance. Sadly for her, Odette's comprehensive training program had not contained the essential nugget that she (Odette) and her business manager, Samuel Lynchberg, had murdered her grandfather to ease her cash flow. When he caught onto her lavish spending spree, he confronted her and indirectly mentioned the murder; Barbra's blank response told him she wasn't Odette. She assumed that the two of them knowing each other's secret would ensure his silence, but she became afraid that he would murder her too, for a being a "dirty stripper" impersonating the woman he loved. So she sought out information on Odette's grandfather's death to strengthen her blackmail, finding evidence from the coroner that indicated he was murdered and attempted to make contact with Mr. Morton's butler, Charles Carson, to learn the exact details of his death. She also made contact with her ex-boyfriend Jason Bagwell, and revealed her duplicity and her plans to safeguard herself. Sadly, the same day Carson attended the A Night of Dance show, in which Barbra was a finalist, Mr. Lynchberg then had to dispose of "Faux-dette", which he did by shooting her in her dressing room as she prepared for her dance show. Her body was found by an assistant producer when she didn't show up on stage.
