Information
Name	Activia Barleyfoot

Activia Barleyfoot is the daughter of Otok Barleyfoot, owner of The Vermilion Minotaur. She ran away to join the Falsetto Marauders, a band of nefarious warriors, and has not been seen by Otok since. Otok and Blemish conduct weekly night watches looking for her, despite the danger of the Marauders. Dwarfs at the Mines of Krelvan have said that they recently saw here there, and that she was seen heading towards the north. Chunt has also posted a missing persons report on Smeg's List. She is often referred to by singing her
name (although not in the presence of Otok, because it upsets him).

After her father had already been lost on a quest seeking her, Activia returns to Hogsface on her own. She reveals she was not taken away by the Marauders but ran off with them because she was in love with one of their members, Chris Sandwich, who wanted to go straight. Their relationship did not last because all Chris would do is make sandwiches. After that ended, Activia became the Marauders' accountant, took them over, then became their king, then killed them all by shushing them. Bored, she returned to the Vermilion Minotaur, where she was immediately angry to learn that not only was her father was lost, Arnie, Chunt, & Usidore had made no effort to search for him. She throws the three out and takes over the tavern, rebranding it in the process.

The hosts do eventually come across information as to the whereabouts of Otak and give that information to Activia, leading her to depart on a quest to find her father.

Activia fails to find her father. However, while at a Ogre Retreat she meets and befriends the villain Skullmaster, and agrees to house-sit for him. She is at Castle Skullmaster during the Shattering.

She also believes she is dying, and is working to become a new, better, less angry Activia, and is working with her guide Chris Crystal to do so. She departs the castle in the kitchen, flown away by birds.

As an adult she loves Solstice.

Early Life

Activia's mother was crushed to death by a Barleywood tree.

Activia was raised as a Bossa Nova’s Assistant, which prevented her from celebrating any holidays until she reached adulthood.

As a young girl, she idolized Princess Trachea-Aurelia Belaroth. She and Otok journeyed to the Northeast to visit her, but when Activia called out to the Princess's carriage, the Princess threw a stone at her, opening a gash above her eye. The stone became a prized possession of Activia's, and she took it with her when she left home.
