Ooooh! I just remembered that Xena had a sidekick. I forget her name, but she was a cutie. So add her to the list too. Whoever she was.
religon	27 Jun 2012 8:43 a.m. PST
Xena's sidekick was Gabrielle, the Battling Bard of Potidaea. Captain Huggy Face is also pretty good. He doesn't talk, dances, pilots a spaceship, knows kung fu and rarely gets into pickles requiring WordGirl to save him.
