Crusade

Xena and Najara, a radiant young woman who preaches about the Light, compete for Gabrielle's heart and soul.

Tropes

Boyish Short Hair: Najara.
Continuity Nod: Fragments of Xena's fight with Najara were first glimpsed in the vision she had in Adventures in the Sin Trade.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Najara, with an emphasis on the "well intentioned". She's written and played with such nuance, that it's difficult to judge her too harshly.
