I originally set up this space because I thought my series of Lockheart-Strife Family sites didn't properly address Barret's role, but I've revamped virtually all of them since this sub-domain's conception, and I think they do a better job articulating the relationship as a whole. Therefore, the only real purpose this forth-coming site will have is to address the racial insensitivity in his presentation. This is an incredibly important topic I feel has yet to be properly bridged in this fandom... but that's a can of worms I can't open flippantly. I really need to do my research. This will hopefully be a project I work on throughout 2009 once I finish my, uh, other undergraduate research and refine some of Peach-Arrow's more established sites.
In the meantime, visit Victoria's site On The Edge for an extensive overview of Barret's character, as well as these related Midgar-Rock sites: Strife, 7th Heaven, and Sunshine.
