Xena was found on an abandon
ship alone, at the age of two. The captain of the ship that found her,
Ruby Sage, adopted the orphan and took her in as her own. Xena was brought
up with discipline and high expectations. She was brought up by a high-ranking
officer to be an officer. She received little or no love from her mother
and was taught that emotions made one weak. This was not an easy lesson
to learn as a half betaziod child.
Xena was taught to best
self-defense and martial arts skills money could buy. She was brought
up as a student rather then a daughter. The only love she receives was
from her Uncle, Aunt and cousin. Her cousin, Selenay became her best
friend. She didn't make many friends in school but she did seem to find
a good friend, Tara Logan. Xena grew up in San Francisco and her cousin
lived in San Diego.
Xena kept to herself most
of her life. She didn't talk unless spoken to. She also had mysterious
things about her that kept people away. Though she was very beautiful,
boys stayed away from her and Xena made no effort to chase.
After a time on the Phoenix,
Xena got to know the Marine chief on the Phoenix. She drank with him
and talked with him and they became good friends. As time went on, CR,
her best friend, turned out to be her long lost father. Slowly, Xena
finds a meaning to her life.
