Najara

Njara is a character on Xena: Warrior Princess. She had a unique way of knowing things - through an unknown entity called "The Gin". She found herself warming to Gabrielle, although Xena wasn't buying it. Xen's instinct was later discovered to be true, when she found out to be against Xena in her fight for Greater Good.

Story
Njara was first introduced as a mysterious warrior, who seemed to be following 'The Way of Light'. She was on the brink of killing Gabrielle, before stopping and lowering her sword. She said that she was visited by the Gin, who told her that she was an ally, not an enemy. She says that the Gin have guided her through life ever since she was a child, although she knows nothing about them.

She had hopes of opening a Hospice and Gabrielle took a fancy to that idea. The two planned to open one and Najara, without Gabrielle knowing, convinces Xena to let Gabrielle stay with her by saying that it would prevent her visions of death from coming true.

Xena and Gabrielle part ways, and Najara initiates Gabrielle into the Way of Light. After Xena confronts a warlord, who mistakes her for Najara, she learns that she gives her foes three days to turn to the light, and if they don't do so then she brings it upon herself to execute them.

Xena finds Gabrielle and comes up with a plan to bring Njara down. They do so, and she is handed over to the local authorities. She then tells Xena that it is Xena's job to hurt Gabrielle - Not hers.

When Najara returns, she had escaped from prison and claims that she too had meet Eli, and is now on the Way of Love. Again she is able to fool Gabrielle, but not Xena. Xena is right to trust her gut instinct, as Najara was lying about following the Way of Love, as a fight breaks between her and Xena. Xena wins and Najara ends up in a coma.

Similarities to Xena
Najara was able to match, and even best Xena in a fight. She was also able to catch speeding arrows, like Xena, and her wisdom was almost the same as Xena's. She could also control her horse through whistling and her reflexes were probably high enough to catch the Chakram, although this can't be proven as it wasn't seen on-screen. She also kept her main waepon (Sword) on her back.
