39 Where did the title Warrior Princess come from? (Xena: Warrior Princess)


According to one of the producers who posted on the mailing list
(Chakram), it was a name given to her by her troops, having been
a woman successful in battle, but not quite the equal of Ares,
God of War. People still refer to her that way because that is
the way she was always referred to. It's almost like part of her
name now. When asked if she was Xena the Warrior Princess, Xena
herself responded that some people call her that. The upshot is
that it is a title accorded her by her deeds, not an inherited
familial title. At least as far as we know at this point!

An additional comment from Lucia... "Warrior Princess?... I loved
what someone once said: 'Well, Warrior Village Girl just isn't
very impressive!'"

In the episode "The Debt Part I" however, it is revealed that she
was given the title Warrior Princess by her mentor Lao Ma. It is
speculated that Borias brought news of the title from China with
him, and so Xena became known as the Warrior Princess.
