Gabrielle



Gabrielle, the Battling Bard of Potidaea and Amazon Queen was a Human female from the past. She was the soul mate of Xena, accompanying her on her journey to find redemption, as she chronicled the adventures that they had. Having grown up on her family's farm in the village of Potidaea, Gabrielle began travelling with the recently reformed Xena and her lover Typhuss James Halliwell, when she saved the village from the warlord Draco. She was eager to learn how to fight, and later gained a fighting staff when she was given the Rite of Caste from the amazon Terreis, which subsequently led to her becoming an amazon princess. When their queen, Melosa, was killed by Velasca she automatically inherited the throne, but gave it to fellow amazon Ephiny, as she chose to continue traveling with Xena. After Xena's death in Jappa in 2375, Gabrielle taught herself how to use the chakram and continued her adventure for the greater good without her along with Typhuss James Halliwell.
