All this month, SYFY FANGRRLS is celebrating Warrior Women Month, sharing the stories of female warriors in folklore, fantasy, and genre from around the world. These women — real and imagined alike — inspire us to make change and fight for what's right, no matter the cost.

When people reference Xena: Warrior Princess as a series, the emphasis is usually on, well, Xena. A former warlord who struggles to change her wicked ways over the course of a whole series is intriguing subject matter, after all. Still, Xena was far from the only interesting character on the show, nor is she the only one that underwent a significant character arc.
