Here’s a slightly later concept sketch of Gabrielle from Go West Young Warrior Part 2 (of the #Xena Virtual Season 7). She’s had a makeover by the South American Amazons to make her more relatable to them. Those long hanging black feathers are macaw, I believe, & she wears feathered wings similar to her Valkyrie look in a prior ep.
She has white clay-based makeup to protect her skin from the tropical sun, & the black stripes are in honor of the jaguar, native to the region. She also wears a caiman skin top. Much of this was kept except for the white makeup.
