Venbara is the het ship between Venti and Barbara Pegg from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Venti and Barbara lacks a bit of interactions, however, they still have some interactions and voicelines of each other.

Voicelines
Venti calls Barbara "the darling Deaconess" and compliments her voice, saying she has a sweet singing voice. Venti asks the Traveler if they know her, asking about the meet and greets, her concerts. The Traveler, probably replies Venti at some point however their answer just wasn't recorded in his voiceline.

Barbara mentions that Venti's voice is amazing, however, she thinks the songs he sings and the ones that she's good at are very different. Barbara states that she tried to learn them, but the melodies were just too complicated for her.

Archon Quest
After the Traveler has defeated Dvalin, the Traveler, Paimon, Jean and Venti went to the Cathedral to give the Holy Lyre Der Himmel to Barbara. Though when giving the Holy Lyre Der Himmel to Barbara, Barbara was shocked due to the Holy Lyre Der Himmel being broken, being that she then tried to forgive herself to Barbatos. Though it was confirmed that Venti was Barbatos, so the fanbase made fun of Barbara being oblivious since Barbatos is already in front of her.

Though Venti then took the Holy Lyre Der Himmel and fixed it, Barbara was relived to see the Holy Lyre Der Himmel fixed but Barbara then told that she won't be letting them touch the Holy Lyre Der Himmel ever again. After Barbara left, Venti then told the Traveler, Paimon and Jean that the magic he used to fix it, isn't going to ever last forever. Which made the three shocked, being that. Venti then ran and the Traveler chased him, along side with Paimon chasing him too.

Right after they ran outside of the Mondstadt Cathedral, Venti and the traveller were attacked by Signora, and both Venti and the Traveler passed out. The Traveler then awaken to see Barbara who then told them that she tried healing Venti but it seemed to not have any effect. It was the first time Barbara ever encounter that kind of patient, but Venti assured her that it was completely normal.

Invitation of Windblume
In Part I, Ode to Flower and Cloud, the Traveler and Paimon finds Venti and a few other Monstadt citizens gather around the Mondstadt Plaza, with some of them looking anxious. Venti explains that this is his Love Poem Class and wants the Traveler and Paimon to be his assistants. Among his students includes Barbara's fan and stalker, Albert. When the Traveler inquires Albert about him attending Venti's Love Poem Class, he explains about the Barbara Fan Club and insisted on doing things Barbara might feel uncomfortable about, such as having a two-storey statue dedicated to her. Venti signalled the Traveler to say no to Albert and to stop his doings.

Midsummer Island Adventure
In Part I, at Windrise, the Traveler's plan to try and go to the Golden Apple Archipelago was by asking Venti. Traveler asks Venti if he knows the archipelago, he congratulates the Traveler as he had found the right person, meaning that yes, he knows the archipelago. Venti talks about the archipelago for the mean time, until he started playing his lyre. Despite Paimon kept calling Venti a Tone-Deaf Bard, Barbara says that the sounds that Venti plays are beautiful as soon as he started playing his lyre. The wind was picking up as he was playing it, and then, Dvalin suddenly came, which made Barbara shocked. After arriving at the Archipelago, Barbara asks Jean who was that bard (Venti). Jean obviously knew that he was Barbatos so instead of telling her that he was Barbatos, she told that he was a legendary bard. Barbara becomes amazed, saying he's an impressive person, and states that they should thank him properly. Still not knowing the fact that he's Barbatos.
