Naevia is one of the few characters in the show that will really surprise the audience.  She starts off quietly in the background and by the end of the show she becomes the reason for Crixus (played by Manu Bennett) to live.  She is Lucretia's most trusted slave so when the her most trusted slave and her favourite gladiator Crixus start a love affair, things get a little tricky.  The love between Naevia and Crixus is very similar to that of Spartacus and Sura.  It's real, pure and honest. You see her strength grow from episode to episode and by the end you'll have a very clear understanding of the women who captured Crixus heart.  He shows his vulnerability to know one but her.  It's amazing what they go through just to be together, life within the ludus is not easy for slaves and the introduction of love and hope to someone who has never lived freely can very dangerous."

"You have been working with some of AUSXIP’s favourite actors (Lucy Lawless, Craig Parker, Erin Cummings), producers (Rob Tapert, Paul Grinder), and directors (Michael Hurst) on Spartacus, what have you learned from them?

Lucy is an amazing women as I said before.  I'm in pretty much every scene she is in and just getting to watch her and John Hannah work together is acting gold!  She is a brilliantly talented women with a huge heart.  Her charity work with Greenpeace and Starship is really inspiring and then to see her juggle all of that with a family...I take my hat of to you Lucy!  Rob sure has picked a wonderful team on this show! And working with a Producer of Rob’s calibre and experience has been invaluable to a young actress like myself."

"Are you aware of the huge interest Spartacus has generated amongst Xena fans because of the previous Xena connections of Lucy, Rob, Michael and Craig Parker?
