Actress for Livia/Eve

I'm rewatching Xena and I dont remember if I ever watched S4 and S5, but I've only just watched the ep where Xena reunites with her daughter.

The actress for Livia just isn't convincing as a warrior, bitch (as they call her), or anything she's supposed to be. She's just so skinny and petite and soft spoken. I mean she definitely tried her best but I just couldn't see her as powerful as she's supposed to be. They cast so many women as Amazons who look like they can actually be warriors so why didn't they find someone for Livia? The Amazon who found out she was Livia wouldve made a better Livia.

Just my opinion, I get if you disagree.
