Gabrielle is Renee O'Connor

Xena's sidekick, traveling companion, and closest friend, Gabrielle is a spirited young woman who was bored with her life in her home village of Poteidaia and yearned to see the world. At first, she was only Xena's pupil, inexperienced and frequently impulsive. But as time went on, Gabrielle came into her own as a defender of justice, and her faith in the Warrior Princess is unshakable.
