	~~Heroine~~ of a New Zealand television series ~~(played by [[Lucy Lawless]]),~~ ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'', a spin-off of an earlier action/adventure series, ''Hercules: The Legendary Journeys''.		'''Xena''', also called "Xena, Warrior Princess" and "Xena of Amphipolis", is the [[warrior woman]] heroine of a New Zealand television series and associated works ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'', a spin-off of an earlier action/adventure series, ''Hercules: The Legendary Journeys''. The role was created by [[Lucy Lawless]].

	Xena started her series life on Hercules as a villainess, a murderous conqueror intent on killing and destruction, exacting terrible revenge for the murder of her brother, Lyceus, by the army of another warlord, Cortese. In a series of interactions, including one in which she is severely beaten and cast out by the army she commanded for preventing a child from being murdered, Xena is convinced by the good Hercules to renounce her evil ways and fight the good fight for truth, justice, and the Ancient Greek way. Xena's ferocity was thus revealed as a tragic reaction to her own abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder, as evidenced by her instinctive protection of the child even though this act of mercy resulted in terrible consequences for herself.

	While Xena began on the Hercules show as one more sinner redeemed by him, in her story it is clear that ~~she has~~ always ~~learned and studied primarily with~~ women -- her mother Cyrene, M'Lila, Lao Ma, Akemi, Alti, Cyane, and most importantly Gabrielle. Men have been her companions or betrayers, helping her on one path or another, but she is rarely shown to have had the deep connections with them that she had with women. While the audience is told that she has had deep relationships with men, the relationships that are ''shown'' to be deep and emotionally impactful are all with women.
