Mel became Xena, no doubt, but I don't remember Janice becoming
Gabrielle. As I recall, she
was lamenting the fact she was descended from the usless tag-along.

Going with that -- the soul searches near and far looking for that
"right" body to inhabit.
Of course it has to happen at the instance of egg-meets-sperm (or whenever one
cell becomes many to

to invade the
consciousness (or BECOME the consciousness).
Much food for thought/speculation/debate.
