Xena Dethahal was born somewhere in Switzerland in the spring of 1974. The exact date and circumstances of her birth are unknown since she was immediately placed in a basket and tossed in a river.

Young Xena rode the pristine Alpine glacial melt waters for hundreds of miles before a young Milanese woman discovered the basket along the banks of the river Po. Some say it was this first early journey to Milan that fueled her love for both exploration and fashion. The woman would raise Xena as her own, naming her Xena after her father and giving her the surname Dethahal to reflect her Amarr heritage as well as her uncommonly large penis.
