  This was written in response to a conversation about the nature of the character of Gabrielle.

I thought it was a fascinating theory and simply had to see what would happen if this particular mirror was held up before her. The following is the result.

• Who Are You, Xena? (Complete) by WordWarior on MaryD's site. (Gen)
  Not willing to leave any challenge unmet, I've taken up the gauntlet suggested by some readers. This is the result. Is it any good?

Oh, and I tried to follow the lines of some of the complaints I've seen lately about Xena -- you'll recognize 'em when you see 'em. Once again, it's just me, playing games with character and psychology, seeing what falls outta my head.
