Fictional Character Biography
Barbie Robb was a young woman given a limited ability to magically convert her imaginings into reality and the ability to command other people's "dream selves" by the Dweller-in-Darkness. He tried to manipulate her into stealing the Book of the Vishanti from Doctor Strange. She assaulted Strange and his lover Clea with dream images. Strange blamed Nightmare, who revealed to Strange that the dreams were being taken from a sleeping mortal in his realm. Strange discovered Barbie and wiped the Dream Weaver aspect from her personality, and sent her back to her apartment in San Francisco.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“The true worth of a race must be measured by the character of its womanhood.”
—Mary Mcleod Bethune (1875–1955)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
