Character History
Varia is introduced as the second-in-command of Queen Marga of the Amazons after Xena and Gabrielle's twenty-five year sleep. When Marga is killed by Prince Morloch, Xena trains her to become queen and together they defeat Morloch.
She is a skilled warrior, at one moment even receiving training from Ares. She also holds a grudge against Xena's daughter Eve, who murdered many Amazons as Livia. Varia's younger sister was one of them. She puts Eve on trial and sentences her to death, but Xena saves her daughter. After that she is anointed queen, but loses her throne soon after she makes a deal with Bellerophon at the battle of Helicon. Most of the Amazons were killed in this battle, but Varia survives and is seen again with a small group of Amazons.
