She and Xena met when Xena saved and her and the rest of her village from a warlord named Draco, at this time Gabrielle's patience had worn out, she couldn't stand it anymore and the fact that she was engaged to a man she didn't love, Perdicas, made it even worse, so when she met Xena she was astonished, she knew that was what she wanted to do, be a warrior. Against Xena's wishes Gabrielle followed Xena to Amphipolis where she saved Xena from being stoned by the townsfolk who believed she was evil, after that she used the argument that she had saved her life to get Xena to let her go with her.
