NOTE: There are no background characters on this list.

Barbara Grace Mohammed (née Steward), age 22 (the main protagonist in all parts) overcame her atypical dysthymia, which stopped her bulimia completely. She no longer needs a psychiatrist, but still has a licensed mental health therapist in case of relapse.

She's happily married to a loving and affectionate man with a son and a daughter. She teaches them self-love and to be themselves. She learns Yoruba and French in one year by her husband, because those are each of his parents' native languages.

She also finds great passion in singing her own songs and writing songs for other gospel singers.

Barbara travels with her new family to the United Kingdom to see his parents, Ethiopia, and Nigeria to celebrate their heritage.

Barbara got curious about her ethnicity and took an ancestry test. She found out that she's 40% Nigerian, 35% Kenyan, 15% British, and 10% French.

Barbara and Patthew are best friends and met up to study together like they used to at UCLA. They still keep in contact afterwards.

They still never told their parents that they were each other's first kiss because they agreed that it was only for practice. They told China back in 2013 before their junior year of senior high. China was shocked about it because she thought those two dates were just them hanging out.
