In Hercules, during her two first episodes, Xena was an outlaw, but in the third (and last), she joins Hercules to defeat Darphus, who had taken her army. Aware that the character of Xena had been very successful among the public, the producers of the series decided to create a spin-off series based on her adventures. The character Gabrielle, introduced in the first episode, becomes Xenas greatest ally her initial navet helps to balance Xena and assists her in recognizing and pursuing the greater good. Lauren Chapluk and Zoe Bell would stunt-double for the actress in heavily demanding scenes that required extensive acrobatics and physical skill.
