Barbarina: at last, someone knows what to do if the goodlooking guy you fell for starts to want to spend your money on a massive scale! Figures it would be the woman who didn't start out as a royal but had to work for that money first.
...well, okay, Gertrud Elisabeth Mara Schmeling had to work hard for her money, too, but it her case it wasn't just her Dad and Mara who were wasting it, both of which she could deal with eventually, but Napoleon invading Russia!
(I still am toying with the "Heinrich runs into Barbarina and Mara-Schmeling in Paris" idea.) (A soprano, a ballerina and a theatre-mad Prince go into a bar coffee house...)
