Dame Barbara (Fr. Dame Barde) is the bossy governess of the castle which Johan, Peewit and Princess Savina live with The King. Dame Barbara only wants what's best for Princess Savina. She was voiced by the late Linda Gary. She appears in the original comic book story and animated version of The Smurfs And The Magic Flute under the respective names of Lady Gripe, Lady Beard and Lady Prattle, as one of Peewit's magic flute dancing victims. She doesn't really like Peewit.
