Callisto

Callisto is a fictional character in the TV series Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Callisto is portrayed by the American actress Hudson Leick.

Description
Callisto is one of Xena's nemesis, purely motivated by her revenge for all the suffering Xena has caused her. When Xena was a warlord, her army was responsible for burning Callisto's home village, Cirra, to the ground, killing Callisto's entire family.

Callisto becomes completely obsessed with the idea of getting revenge on Xena. Due to the trauma that witnessing her mother and sister die caused, she created some sort of psychological sadism/masochism role in regards to Xena and her friends and enjoys watching all of them suffer to the point that it's the only thing in the world that can make her happy.

Callisto never wanted to kill Xena, feeling that she deserved a fate much worse than death, therefor passing up many opportunities to kill off her opponent. Unfortunatly, she seems to never be satisfied no matter how much pain she causes her. On the other hand, Xena feels so much guilt in regards to murdering Callisto's family that she has a hard time killing the other woman for a long time as well.
