The strong, silent character who becomes an efficient killing machine when their girl is threatened.

Renee O'Connor Xena Warrior Princess (1995)

Xena, watching Gabrielle from afar: Look at her. I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss!

Obviously I am obsessed with Xena and Gabrielle’s relationship. In addition, I cannot believe that Callisto did All That within six episodes of screen time. She’s a parallel to Xena because she made herself Xena, but she’s also a parallel to Gabrielle (at least in Xena’s eyes) because Xena ruined her life and she genuinely believes (especially late season one/early season 2) that she is destroying Gabrielle. ALSO she immediately can tell that Xena and Gabrielle are in love and that’s how she gets the upper hand, while major male antagonists almost universally ignore Gabrielle or downplay her. She’s so interesting and it’s all so much better knowing that her storyline ends in the most unbelievable way possible.
