alright. "Little Flower" was found by an old squirrelwife who knew herbs and tarot card reading. she named the babe Xena Laik wich means little flower in the old language. Xena learned lots from the old squirrelwife (the squirrel had no name, she was reffered too as the Herb-wife) one day, strange beasts in hoods came to the herb wifes cottage,and the herb wife demanded Xena to hide and not to come out no matter what she heard. Xena hid in the bushes and listened as they hooded beasts argued with the herb wife. Xena heard a scream and leapt out of the bushes without thinking and saw the herb wife dead in a pool of blood. the hooded beasts saw her and Xena ran for her life and in her haste fell down a tunnel. the hooded beasts left her for dead, and Xena climbed out after regaining consciousness and went to bury the herb wife, before leaving to find some friend of the herb wife to find out why her adoptive mother had been slain. when she arrived at their house she found it burned to the ground. Xena sits down to try and think where she can go, and decides the best hing she can do is to make a living as a fortune teller (the tarot cards are hokey and she knows this, but she's good at "Reading" them) and she starts on her way, beleiving she can find out why the herb wife and ehr relatives were killed.

Xena finds out eventually from clues left by customers that in the past the herb wife was involved with a vermin gang and left when she mended her ways, causing them to want to kill her for her betrayal. the gang is still out there and Xena goes to find some people who will help her get rid of the gang. she comes upon the Guosim branchbounders, whisperers and Fugitives who are in the middle of a Reunion feast and asks them to help. she and Vaccar don't recognize each other at first since it's been a long time and they were very young, but Vaccar begins to remember, though Xena doesn't. When Vaccar finally tells her she beleives he's crazy until he brings up some things only someone who'd known her in her childhood would know.

When they come upon the Gang Xena recognizes one of them and kills him, before the rest of the good guys can catch up

Xena is spunky, logical, tough, and a rather no-nonsense type. her idea of solving a dispute is to wack both the combatents upside the head with a heavy stick. she compliments Vaccar's personality that way.. =)
