What do you think she would’ve been like in Solan’s adolescence and Eve’s childhood?
I wonder if she would have taught them how to fight, even if she didn’t want them to be warriors. Being around her, they’d be targets, so would she think it best they learn to defend themselves or would she consider that her and Gabrielle’s responsibility?
I think she would’ve tried to shield them for as long as possible like she did with Gabrielle but what about when they start showing their naturally inherited abilities; like Solan’s ability to sneak up on her and Eve’s fighting prowess. Would that have forced her to begin training them so they can hone their talents or would she prioritize them being the generation to break the cycle of violence and let those traits die on the vine?
Without question if she’d kept Solan from birth she would’ve been an entirely different mother than she would’ve been if Solan had gotten to live with her when he was older. That Xena would’ve taught Solan to fight as soon as he could walk but would she have also been loving? Despite all the horrors he would’ve been around, would that Xena been able to show Solan compassion and warmth?
