Archidamia

A female Gladiator in ancient Rome. One of extremely few strong, brave and proud women to enter the arena. A fierce Spartan warrior, descendant of a famous queen of same name, who once rallied the women of the city to rise and fight, when Sparta was besieged by enemies while all the men were away at war elsewhere. Although unfree, as a Gladiator, Archidamia retains the ferocious spirit of her Spartan ancestors, male or female. Sold into servitude at young age by her now impoverished family, she has chosen to fight for a living, rather than resort to less honorable means of survival. Armed with her twin daggers, she is adept at using her speed, agility and stamina to overcome larger, stronger male opponents.
