1. Gabrielle (Renée O'Connor), Xena: Warrior Princess
While there were plenty of questions surrounding Gabrielle's relationship with Xena - Are they or aren't they? Will they or won't they? Do they already, and it's just not on-screen? - the one thing everyone agreed on was this: Without Gabrielle, Xena the Warrior Princess would never have survived.
The Battling Bard of Potidaea could talk her way out of (or into) anything; her flair for dramatic storytelling saved them numerous times. She also learned stellar warrior skills, arming herself with an Amazon staff, and agreeing to fight for the greater good.
Together, she and Xena traveled the world, forging literally to hell and back again.

Because when you find a sidekick like Gabrielle, you want to make it permanent.
