Tira is Priestess of Artemis, and is first shown in Artemis' temple conducting a human sacrifice along with Apollo's Priest Tazor and Poseidon's Priest Orcas. From the sacrifice, they learn that their mission failed, and vow to right the wrong.
While traveling Gabrielle and Joxer run into Tira and a squad of her female warriors. When accused of trespassing, Gabrielle offers that they were on the way to the temple of Artemis and that they had been attacked by Xena. Tira believes them and lets them go on their journey.
Xena is caught in the crossfires of several different armies converging on her from all different directions, including that of Tira and her warriors. As Xena is concerned with protecting her child, she is distracted from the harm around her. Tira takes aim at Xena with her bow and is about to kill her. However, Xena notices at the last moment and throws her chakram at her. The chakram stikes Tira and who tossed up in the air, and then falls dead to the ground.
