When a Shieldmaiden evolves into a Barriermaiden, her physical form doesn't change much, but a large number of tattoo-like patterns may appear on her skin. These tattoos glow whenever she uses her psychic powers, and while that is a bad thing in tight situations when subtle movements are needed, the trade off is that they can now operate 24/7 without need for sleep. They actually gain very short periods of microsleep. When they blink their eyes, they enter a short R.E.M. cycle. In fact, the chances of even sleep powder working for more than a minute are slim. The only times they'll stay unconscious for longer than a minute is if they're physically knocked out or drained of most of their energy. Their bodies still require at least four hours of rest a day, but other than that, they are the ultimate guards.

Barriermaidens carry some form of shield, whether it's a large section of a broken door fashioned into a shield or a professionally made tower shield, they feel naked without something solid to defend themselves with.

Barriermaidens become highly protective, almost like a Neo-Iczel, in their claim on a lover. They generally choose one person, either Pokégirl or human, as their primary partner. The primary partner is the one they will seek to defend first, though some tamers are rather irate when it happens to be another Pokégirl in their harem.

Like Loners, the Barriermaiden can instantly tell when their primary partner is in danger, but unlike Loners, Barriermaidens never allow themselves to be separated from said partner willingly. The furthest a Barriermaiden will step from her partner is five feet, and they generally use Agility so they can return to their partner's side as quick as possible in case of a sudden emergency.

When a Barriermaiden chooses another Pokégirl in a harem as her primary partner, she will demand to be given their partner's Pokéball. If the tamer flat-out refuses, she may steal the Pokéball in the middle of the night and leave. And since very few tamers can go without sleep, the chances of the Barriermaiden getting away are over 98%. If given the Pokéball, she will remain loyal to the tamer so long as the tamer remains loyal and/or good-hearted.
