Personality: Gabrielle is a kind spirit. She is strong though. After everything she's been through she must be.
History: Gabrielle grew up in Potedia, with her mother, father and sister, Lila. She found a love for writing and telling stories at a young age, but her father frowned upon, therefore she was forced to stop. Gabrielle was told that she was to marry a boy from her village named Perticous. She was not happy about this and knew that this life she had was not cut out for her.
One day her sister and a couple of other girls from the village went for a a walk. They were attacked by a group of men sent by the warlord Draco. They were rounded up and were about to be taken away and sold for slaves, when a strange warrior women arrived and saved them all. She called herself Xena. And Gabrielle knew her future was with her. That night, when her family told Xena she needed to leave, Gabrielle pack a small sack of things and said good-bye to her sister. She tracked Xena and soon found her. She befriended Xena in Amphipolis. She followed Xena for a while, fighting beside her. Her first weapon was a bo.
Later on Xena and Gabrielle travel into Amazon land. The Amazons are attacked while greeting Xena and Gabrielle, Gabrielle covers an Amazon who ends up being the Amazon Queen. The Amazons dies and gives Gabrielle her 'ride of cast'. Gabrielle learns to fight with out killing.
About a year after meeting Xena, Gabrielle encounters Perticous again and decides to marry him. The morning after their wedding, he is murdered by Xena's nemesis, Callisto. Gabrielle's grief and anger tests her ideals of reverence for life, but she nonetheless resists the impulse to kill Callisto. During this period, Gabrielle's strong commitment to peacemaking and compassion often serves as a counterbalance to Xena's warrior nature.
Later on Gabrielle and Xena travel to Britannia and they help defend it against Cesar. While there Gabrielle meets a man who says he travels the same path as Gabrielle, he says he worships a god of peace and love. When he convinces Gabrielle to visit his gods temple with him she is very surprised, the head priestess grabs him and he is put on the altar, they were going to sacrifice him. Gabrielle plunges into action and saves him by killing the head priestess, also losing her blood innocence. This was all the mans plan. Gabrielle stunned with blood on her hands. She is placed on the altar and is given a seed of the dark god Daehak. Xena rescues her. Gabrielle later gives birth to the child of the dark god. The child kills some guards that helps Gabrielle and Xena. Xena told Gabrielle that she needs to kill her. Gabrielle sends Hope down a river. But told Xena that she was dead.
Several months later, Gabrielle finds Hope again, now looking like a nine-year-old, and already in the process of helping her father, Daehak, implement his plan to take over the world. Hope allies herself with Xena's enemy, Callisto. In revenge for Xena's attempt to kill her as a baby, Hope murders Xena's only son, Solan. This forces Gabrielle to accept that Hope was indeed evil. She kills her daughter by giving her poison, an act that continues to haunt Gabrielle throughout the days. She holds herself responsible for Solan's death, as well as for betraying Xena a second time, even after reconciliation with Xena is effected through their musical journey in the Land of Illusia. Therefore, when she once again encounters Hope, who was saved from the funeral pyre by her father Daehak, Gabrielle sacrifices herself to save Xena by jumping into a lava pit and taking Hope with her. Gabrielle mysteriously survives the fall, and is later reunited with Xena. It is revealed later that Ares saved Gabrielle, with plans to use her as a bargaining chip against Xena.
After her first kill, and the traumatic events with Hope that followed it, Gabrielle temporarily embraces complete pacifism as an alternative to fighting by Xena's side. She and Xena travel to India, where they encounter a series of false prophets and gurus, as well as a genuine healer and teacher, Eli. Eli claims to have found enlightenment and Gabrielle becomes interested in his philosophy of nonviolence and inner peace, which he calls the Way of Love. Gabrielle attempts to follow Eli's way, and throws away her staff under his influence. However, when Xena is in the midst of a battle with the Romans in effort to rescue Gabrielle, Eli, and a group of prisoners, Xena is struck down by Callisto, who uses Xena's own chakram. Gabrielle chooses to fight to save Xena and even kills some of the soldiers herself. Before their crucifixion, Gabrielle tells Xena that she had chosen "The Way of Friendship".
After being crucified, Gabrielle and Xena ascend into Heaven, but are soon ambushed by demons. The demons are able to take Gabrielle to Hell, where she comes face to face the demonic form of Callisto. Xena and a group of archangels are able to rescue Gabrielle from Hell before Gabrielle herself can fall to the darkness; however, she then learns Xena has taken Callisto's place in Hell. She eventually forgives Callisto for the murder of Perticous, and that forgiveness grants her the right to join the Archangels in battle. During her fight with the demon-Xena, they are restored to life by Eli.
Gabrielle then accepts her new path as a warrior and acquires a pair of sais, which become her signature weapon thereafter. Xena's pregnancy, revealed shortly after the duo's return to life, further forces Gabrielle to fight and sometimes protect Xena. On two occasions, the god of war Ares, impressed by Gabrielle's new warrior skills, tries to recruit her to his side, but Gabrielle always resists.
Gabrielle and Xena sleep in an ice cave for 25 years after Ares places them there because he mistakenly believes they are dead. After waking up, Gabrielle discovers that her parents have been killed by the North African warlord Gurkhan, who has also kidnapped her niece, Sara, for his harem. Around this time, Gabrielle develops a close friendship with Joxer's eldest son Virgil, who shares many of her traits as a bard and warrior. Gabrielle struggles with the issue of seeking vengeance against Gurkhan. She is often troubled by her role as a warrior, particularly when she has to lead her Amazon tribe into a high-casualty battle against a superior army led by the demigod Bellerophon to rescue a fellow Amazon queen. Despite the success of the mission, Gabrielle tells Xena, "With each battle, I lose more of myself". She still fights beside Xena and always will.
