Varia is a fictional character in the television series Xena: Warrior Princess. She is portrayed by Tsianina Joelson.

[edit] 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.[1] When Marga is killed by Prince Morloch, Xena trains her to become queen and together they defeat Morloch.[2]

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.[3] Varia's younger sister was one of them. She puts Eve on trial and sentences her to death, but Xena saves her daughter.[3] 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 and it is unknown what becomes of Varia after this.[4]
