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.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or history:
“Eccentricity: strength of character doubling back on itself.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
