to:

* AntiHero: She once led a party of raiders who RapePillageAndBurn. Accompanying Conan's party and protecting Jehnna gives her an opportunity to redeem her previous life.

* TheLadette: Zula is a lean, muscular warrior woman who acts even fiercer than the male warriors, and her advice on how to get a man seems outright parodic of the uber-masculine stereotype, while she's a ScreamingWarrior too and bares her teeth when she fights.
-->'''Jehnna:''' How do you attract a man? What I mean is, suppose you set your heart on somebody. What would you do to get him?\\
'''Zula:''' Grab him! And take him!
