Character history

In Steel Harbor, a bombed-out wreck of a town, thrill-junkie Barbara Kopetski, better known as Barb Wire, is a bar owner and part-time bounty hunter (in order to pay for her bar, The Hammerhead). She is skilled in many areas, but excels in combat-related abilities. While she has a brother and several allies, she is essentially a loner, although this is something which is uncomfortable for her to think about.

Barbed wire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2261 words)
Barbed wire is a type of fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strand(s).
Wire fences were cheaper to erect than their alternatives and when they became widely available in the late 19th century in the United States they made it affordable to fence much bigger areas than before.
Barbed wire for agriculture use is typically double-strand 12½-gauge, zinc-coated (galvanized) steel and comes in rolls of 1320 ft (402 m) length.
