| 9 | |
| 10 | The Grounders or Outsiders (by the [[Characters/The100MountWeather Mountain Men]]) is a term used to describe a person who was born on Earth rather than in space or Mount Weather. The Grounders alive in the present are descendants of humans who survived the nuclear apocalypse 97 years ago. 56 years before the Delinquents arrived on Earth, the Mountain Men first discovered the Grounders were able to walk above ground and were immune to the radiation. Sometime during 2140s, Commander Lexa united all 12 grounder clans for the first time, forming the most influential political factions to emerge in the post-apocalypse, the Coalition with each clan having its own chief and being made up of multiple villages scattered throughout the Eastern Seaboard. Each clan also has its own ambassador to the Coalition, who represents the clan's interests before the whole. The Grounders (particularly the Trikru) had a hostile relationship with the Delinquents also called "The 100" when they first landed on Earth in their territory and after the 100 accidentally burn one of their villages to the ground, the Grounders retaliated and a conflict broke out. The 100 along with the other survivors of The Ark become known as The Sky People[[note]]Skaikru in Trigedasleng[[/note]] and they decide to try to make peace with the Grounders. At first, Lexa was willing to extend peace to the Sky People provided that the Sky People leave their territory. Eventually, the Sky People and the Grounders form an alliance to take on their mutual enemy, The Mountain Men. Months later after The Mountain Men are defeated they maintain a fragile truce with the Sky People. |

| 21 | |
| 22 | Tropes that pertains to all Grounders and their society as a whole. |
| 23 | ---- |
| 24 | * ActionGirl: Most of the leaders are women and they are also skilled warriors. |
| 25 | * AlwaysChaoticEvil: {{Subverted}}. The Grounders seemed this way at first to the 100 when they spear Jasper and they start killing other members later on. The Grounders are shown to have a violent culture and live by rules and traditions that seem barbaric and without reason to the 100, the Sky People and Mount Weather, but it is later shown that they live that way as a means to survive and that they lived that way for so long they don't know how to live any other way. Most of the Grounders fear that the Sky People will use their superior technology and weapons to wipe them out and thus believe that they should strike first. |
| 26 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Only the strongest become the leaders of their clans/villages and the main leader known as "The Commander" is decided in a contest where they have all the nightbloods fight each other to the death. As shown with Lexa, the commander must always show strength to keep their position or the clans can either vote them out or they can be challenged by one of the other leaders, both of which will result in the commander's death because of the Grounder's belief in reincarnation. |
| 27 | * AntiVillain: Their antagonism towards the main characters in the first season is because Clarke, Bellamy, and the other "100" unintentionally killed several of their people and the Grounders assumed they were invaders who had declared war on them. This got worse when the 100 armed themselves, started killing in self-defense and captured and tortured Lincoln to save Finn. Jasper panicking and firing the first shot at the peace conference just sealed the deal. |
| 28 | * AnyoneCanDie: The show has not been kind to the Grounders. Of all the named Grounder characters only a few are still alive by the end of Season 6 ([[spoiler:Emori, Echo, Indra, Niylah, Gaia, Madi]]). Significant deaths of named grounder characters include [[spoiler:Lexa, Lincoln, Luna, Roan,]] and Anya along with several other grounder characters who don't even make it out of the season they're introduced in. |
| 29 | * BadassArmy: Most grounders are skilled in hand-to-hand combat and with swords, spears, knives/daggers, and bows and arrows and have been trained since birth. Their armies are a force to be reckoned with because of their individual skills and is why despite the fact that they have guns and other advanced weaponry the Sky People have almost no chance of beating them in an ongoing war. |
| 30 | * BadassCreed: Jus drein jus daun ("Blood Must Have Blood") |
| 31 | * BloodKnight: Most Grounders enjoy fighting and consider it an honor to die in combat. |
| 32 | * BodyCountCompetition: Grounders keep track of their kills through scars/tattoos on their body. Their leader Lexa was exempt from this practice because she has killed too many people to allow for kill marks. |
| 33 | * ChildSoldiers: Grounders are trained to fight since childhood and some of their warriors are children and teenagers who are known as "Seconds" when they are being trained by the clan leaders. Lexa was a Second to Anya and became the Commander at age 12 and is in her early 20s when the 100 arrive on the ground, prompting Abby to say "They're led by a child." |
| 34 | * CombatPragmatist: The Grounders are not above using biological warfare on their enemies and they are capable of doing sneak attacks, setting up traps, and they are also willing to wipe out a whole group/clan/population if it seems that leaving any of them alive will become a problem later on. They are also justified in using these methods since they have enemies who have access to guns and other weapons. Generally the Grounders will rely on having a superior force by uniting all the clans to wipe out a common enemy. |
| 35 | * CultureJustifiesAnything: In Grounder culture children can be warriors and they also have [[spoiler:the Nightblood children compete in a fight to the death known as the Conclave to decide who the next commander will be]]. Their method of executing a criminal or an enemy is to torture them to death more painfully if this person has killed any other Grounders, and based on how many they killed the Grounders make them feel the pain of each life they've taken, which includes cutting them, burning them, and dismemberment. They are also willing to wipe out their whole enemy's tribe or people including the children, even including the people who weren't trying to fight or did anything wrong. |
| 36 | * EnemyMine: In Season 2, they enter an alliance with the Sky People to take on the Mountain Men who also created and control their most feared enemies, The Reapers. |
| 37 | ** Overall all the clans will put aside their differences to destroy a common enemy and this is what they were originally going to do against the Sky People. |
| 38 | * {{Expy}}: Their culture has elements of Native American culture and Viking culture. They are even called "savages" by Dante and others in Mount Weather which is a word used to insult Native Americans and their conflict with the Sky People has similarities to the conflict between the Native Americans and the early English Settlers and the Vikings conflict with Europe and other countries. |
| 39 | * FantasticRacism: |
| 40 | ** The Grounders and the Sky People have a mutual distrust of each other for justifiable reasons. |
| 41 | ** Some of the people in Mount Weather see the Grounders as savages which is why they have no problem experimenting and forcibly taking blood transfusions from them. It's implied to be why Dante never attempted to have the Grounders breed with his people like he wanted with the Sky People. |
| 42 | ** The Grounders have a tradition of banishing children who are born with deformities and their families into the desert because they see them as "bad luck" and if they ever return the Grounders have them killed. |
| 43 | * FantasyGunControl[=/=]DoesNotLikeGuns: Grounders are afraid to use guns because of legends that if a Grounder picks up a gun the Mountain Men will come and take them. They still refuse to use guns for a long time after everyone in Mount Weather is dead. |
| 44 | * GreatOffScreenWar: Before the events of the show, the Trikru and the Azdega were at war with each other until Lexa initiated them into the Coalition. It is also implied that all the clans have been at war with each other at one point or another. |
| 45 | * HonorBeforeReason[=/=]RevengeBeforeReason: Their conflict with the 100 was because they refused to accept that the 100's actions against them were a combination of accidents, self-defense, and general misunderstandings. They instead saw the 100 as invaders who wanted to wipe them out. They also saw avenging the people that the 100 killed as a way of honoring them so they couldn't let the deaths go unanswered even if they were accidental or justified. |
| 46 | * HufflepuffHouse: Despite the fact that their are twelve different Grounder clans only three ever get any major spotlight, Trikru, Azgeda, and Floukru, the latter two not even appearing in any substantial way until Season 3. Little information is provided about the other nine clans and characters from those clans have so far only been used as minor and background characters. |
| 47 | * GenderIsNoObject: Grounder society is gender equal, with women acting alongside men as leaders and warriors. |
| 48 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: Their code of "Blood Must Have Blood" is based around this. |
| 49 | * TribalFacePaint[=/=]FacialMarkings: The Grounders wear [[ThisMeansWarpaint war paint]] on their faces. They also have facial and body tattoos and/or tribal cuts and scars signifying how many people they have killed in battle or which clan they are from. |
| 50 | * ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: Their culture is based around this belief and it wasn't until Lexa became commander that they started exploring other options to resolve conflicts which resulted in the formation of the Coalition. |
| 51 | ** It is shown that several grounders felt that Lexa should just wipe out Skaikru instead of trying to have an alliance with them and this perceptive later causes a conflict with the Azdega and the attempt to remove Lexa from the throne. |
| 52 | ** This also becomes a topic of discussion when after the actions of Pike against her people, the Grounders again want to wipe out the Sky People and are against Lexa's decision to not retaliate. |
| 53 | * WildCard: In their truce with Skaikru because they were at first not interested in allying with them against Mount Weather until Clarke and Abby successfully cured Lincoln of being a reaper with the implication that they could do this with others and didn't fully agree until Finn's death which they demanded as a condition of the truce. In general the alliance is proved to be very fragile because of both sides not fully trusting each other and the Skaikru having to deal with the possibility that the grounders will wipe them out. |
| 54 | ** Then the biggest problem was that the grounders care more about the well being of their own people which lead to Lexa making the deal with Mount Weather to have the grounder prisoners released on the condition they let them have the sky people by abandoning them. |

| 57 | !!The Tree People (''Trikru'') |
| 58 | [[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trikru.png]] |
| 59 | [[caption-width-right:130:Symbol Of The Tree People]] |
| 60 | |
| 61 | The Trikru, also known as the Woods Clan, People of the Woods, Trigedakru, and Tree People, are a Grounder Clan that inhabit the expanse of woodlands around the area in which the Sky People landed. Their borders also extend to the location which was once Washington, D.C. but is now known as Tondc. Their largest city and capital is Polis and is where the Commander resides. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | They were the primary antagonists of the first season and the first half of the second before entering an alliance with the Sky People. |
| 64 | [[folder:The Tree People As A Whole]] |
| 65 | * AntiHero: When they enter into an alliance with the Sky People in Season 2, they officially become good guys. Though they also practice questionable traditions and it is made clear that they are willing to kill all the Sky People if they ever make a wrong move, but they are capable of working with them to the benefit of both of their people. |
| 66 | * AntiVillain: Their grievance with the 100 was that when they shot up the flares to try and contact the Ark, the flares burned down one of their villages and Anya and the others saw this as an official declaration of war from them. |
| 67 | * BigBad: In Season 1, they are the main group the 100 come into conflict with because of landing in their territory, represented by Anya, who ultimately deferred to Tristan, at least with regard to their conflict against the 100. |
| 68 | * ALighterShadeOfGrey: The Trikru are this compared to the Ice Nation who's Queen is known to be more ruthless than Lexa who is at least willing to make peace. This is really shown in the first half of Season 3 and implied in Season 2. |
| 69 | ** Also in Season 2, they are this to the Mountain Men making Clarke and the others willing to form an alliance with them and the other clans. |

| 76 | |
| 77 | ->''"We're at war, and a warrior does not mourn those she's lost till after the battle is won."'' |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Leader of the village of Tondc and part of Lexa's inner circle. Notably mistrustful of Camp Jaha. |
| 80 | ---- |
| 81 | * ActionGirl: As competent in a fight as any male Grounder. |
| 82 | * AloofAlly: In Season 3, she helps Kane, Bellamy, and the others try to find Clarke and it is implied that she been helping out the Sky People since after the events of Season 2 by having secret meetings with Kane. |
| 83 | ** Goes back to this for a time in Season 4, due to Skaikru's alliance with Azegeda. |
| 84 | * CantKillYouStillNeedYou: How she sees her alliance with Pike to take on A.L.I.E and tries to invoke this on Octavia as well, who also wants to kill him. |
| 85 | * CoveredWithScars: Her face has numerous scars. |
| 86 | * DoesNotLikeGuns: She knocks a gun out of the hands of one of her solders because of her people's belief about guns [[spoiler:and in Season 3 it is shown that she is still hesitant about them when she refuses to take one when Kane offers one though this is later subverted when she starts using guns in order to help fight A.L.I.E..]] |
| 87 | * LadyOfWar: She has a certain fierce regal quality about her. |
| 88 | %%zce* LikeADaughterToMe: Eventually comes to feel this way about Octavia, especially considering that she basically disowned her ''actual'' daughter. |
| 89 | * MeaningfulName: Shares a name with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indra Indra]], the warrior leader of the Hindu gods. |
| 90 | * MyCountryRightOrWrong: Indra always obeys Lexa even if she doesn't agree with her decisions as it is shown that she doesn't agree with having an alliance with the Sky People because for one thing what Finn did to her village and felt that Lexa should just wipe them out. She also didn't agree with the retreat from Mount Weather and Lexa making that deal which leads to her decision to secretly let Lincoln go. Even then in Season 3 it is implied that she was secretly helping Kane and the Sky People for months and even later trying to help them find Clarke when it is discovered that the Ice nation is hunting her because Lexa ordered her too. |
| 91 | * TheMentor: She decides to take Octavia as her second and train her in the art of combat. |
| 92 | * NumberTwo: [[spoiler:Becomes Octavia's second in command once she becomes the leader of Wonkru even offering to help kill Skaikru for her when it looks like they wont agree to Octavia's terms for the bunker.]] |
| 93 | * OddFriendship: Indra and Kane form a surprisingly close friendship between the Season 2 and 3 TimeSkip with the two providing correspondence between their two peoples. |
| 94 | * ParentalSubstitute: Indra becomes a surrogate mother figure to Octavia even after she banishes her from being her second to the point that her actual daughter notices their bond and is understandably jealous. |
| 95 | * PetTheDog: In "Blood Must Have Blood" [[spoiler: she gives Lincoln the choice of whether or not to escape and help out the Sky People, knowing he cared deeply about Octavia, despite Lexa having just broken their alliance]] and showing notable distrust for the Sky People previously. |
| 96 | * SurvivorsGuilt: [[spoiler:She temporarily loses her will to fight after being the only one spared in Pike's massacre.]] |
| 97 | * TheStoic: Indra always has her emotions in check but is NotSoStoic when she gets angry or doesn't agree with an order. |
| 98 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: With the Sky People. |
| 99 | ** After what happened with Finn and her village, this is understandable. By Season 3, Indra has no problem working with them and in fact has frequent meetings with Kane and provides him information. |
| 100 | ** [[spoiler:She is later forced to work with Pike who massacred her people(only sparing her) to take on A.L.I.E and even implies to him that when the situation is over she will have her revenge and kill him.]] |
| 101 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: How she felt about Finn massacring her village and she is really angry about Clarke {{mercy kill}}ing him because she wanted him to suffer under their "justice". She tends to feel this way about most of the Sky People's actions against her people and why she is so hostile against them and was originally hostile towards Octavia and she also didn't agree with Lexa making the agreement and creating an alliance with them. |
| 102 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: With Lincoln, before she considered him a traitor for attempting to save The 100. Him being turned into a Reaver just made things worse, and she refused to allow him anywhere near her even after he was cured. It takes him saving her life and others in Tondc following Mount Weather's attack for her to forgive him. |

| 109 | |
| 110 | A friend of Lincoln's and a trusted healer among the Grounders. |
| 111 | ---- |
| 112 | * ABNegative: His blood type is Rh-null. [[note]]A blood type lacking almost all Rh antigens, resulting in being the "universal donor" for the Rh blood group system, but people who carry it can only receive blood from other Rh-nulls. It's so rare less than 50 people around the world are currently reported to carry it.[[/note]] While it ''is'' the future and more people with Rh-null could have been discovered (the Mountain does have a supply of it), Nyko's rare blood is still used for the dramatic will-we-find-a-match trope. |
| 113 | * [[spoiler: CharacterDeath: He gets shot down by drones on Becca's island when the group tries to find a way to cure the Grounders' radiation sickness.]] |
| 114 | * CombatMedic: Like Lincoln, he's a good healer and a competent warrior. He seemed to have filled TheMedic role for the Grounders after Lincoln joins up with Camp Jaha. |
| 115 | * MercyKill: After he sees that Lincoln has been turned into a Reaper, he attempts to poison him right then and there to put him out of his misery. |
| 116 | * MyNaymeIs: "Nyko," which sounds like "Nico" or a variant thereof. |
| 117 | * PrisonerExchange: Octavia takes him hostage and attempts to barter his life for Lincoln's. |
| 118 | * TheBusCameBack: Reappears at the beginning of Season 4 along with Luna and a Grounder girl, all having been made sick from radiation poisoning. |
| 119 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He isn't seen again in the later events of Season 3. |

| 126 | |
| 127 | A Grounder who runs a trading post with her father in the Trikru area and has been secretly trading supplies with Clarke during her self-exile. |
| 128 | ---- |
| 129 | * AscendedExtra: While she never becomes a main cast member she does stick around as a recurring character for the rest of the series and becomes a lot more important then just being Clarke's TemporaryLoveInterest. [[spoiler:Not only does she survive the entire series but she even comes back from transcendence with the rest of Clarke's friends so she can keep them company.]] |
| 130 | * ConflictingLoyalty: Niylah's loyalty to both Clarke and Octavia gets put to the test in Season 5 [[spoiler:after she finds out that Madi is a Nightblood. She decides to TakeAThirdOption and tells Clarke that she will give her a day to tell Octavia the truth about Madi before she does.]] |
| 131 | * MissingMom: Her mother was one of Mount Weather's victims. |
| 132 | * MoralityChain: For Octavia [[spoiler: in the early episodes of season 6. While Octavia is in the depths of her self-loathing and despair, Niylah is the only one she trusts aboard the mothership. Niylah tries to get her to back down from a fight and she ''actually does''.]] |
| 133 | * MoralityPet: She brings out Clarke's softer side toward strangers post- Mount Weather's extermination. |
| 134 | * PutOnABus: It is implied that she later leaves her trading post to avoid the A.L.I.E problem. This turns out to only be temporary though as she returns in Season 4 and becomes a recurring character for the rest of the series. |
| 135 | * ReplacementGoldfish: Subverted because she only shares one night with Clarke and after [[spoiler:Lexa's]] death Clarke once again finds herself at her home needing her help but of course Niylah is later PutOnABus and Clarke is not only grieving but also focused on her task to worry about pursuing a relationship and they never even talk about the night they spent together. |
| 136 | * ShipTease: With Octavia. [[spoiler: In episode 5x02, there's even a parallel to 3x01 (where Bellamy's girlfriend Gina gives him a book) when Niylah gives Octavia a book, also on Greco-Roman mythology.]] |
| 137 | * TemporaryLoveInterest: She and Clarke enjoy a night together before Clarke's troubles find her again. In Season 4, the two seem to have a more casual romantic relationship. |
| 138 | * UndyingLoyalty: |
| 139 | ** She never even ''considers'' betraying Clarke because she's so thankful for the destruction of Mount Weather. |
| 140 | ** After she is spared from Praimfya by Octavia and given a place in the bunker she becomes incredibly loyal to her even after she becomes Blodreina. [[spoiler: She also wakes Octavia from cryosleep against all orders in the first episode of season 6.]] |
| 141 | * YouKilledMyFather: Her father was a part of the army Pike and Bellamy massacred and because of this she didn't want to help Clarke and the others when they came to her home trying to hide from A.L.I.E and get her out of Raven's head. She has a confrontation with Bellamy when she overhears Raven talk about his part in the massacre though subverted because she only gets angry with him but does not try to kill him. |
| 142 | ** As stated above Mount Weather is responsible for the death of her Mother and this is why she is kind to Clarke who is responsible for wiping them out. |

| 159 | The Commander of all the Twelve Grounder Clans. |
| 160 | ---- |
| 161 | * TheAce: Lexa is not only an incredibly gifted warrior but also a wise and thoughtful diplomat whom, under her leadership, was able to unite Twelve other Grounder Clans into her coalition. Titus mentions that as Flamekepper he has served 4 previous commanders and not one of them were half as strong or wise as Lexa. |
| 162 | * ActionGirl: As an expert warrior who has lead her people through many wars and earned her leadership through combat. |
| 163 | * ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: Has her bodyguard Gustus pose as the Commander while she pretends to be a slave girl. Jaha and Kane are shocked when they find out that the girl who waited on them for two days was actually the Grounder leader. |
| 164 | * AggressiveSubmissive: Downplayed, but it's there. Between her and Clarke, Lexa is the more aggressive warrior, more bloodthirsty and in general is the one pushing more for the relationship, but when they make love, Clarke is the aggressor. |
| 165 | * AlienBlood: Her blood is pitch black, marking her as a Nightblood. |
| 166 | * AntiHero: As a leader she was willing to make peace with the Sky People and unite their people to take on a common enemy. She is also shown to be ruthless and willing to make some dark decisions such as sacrificing several people in the missile attack and was willing to wipe out the Sky People if they ever became a threat to her people. |
| 167 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: She ''earned'' her position, and it's made clear that if she was weak she'd be killed by her own men. |
| 168 | * TheAtoner: In Season 3, she is trying to make it up to Clarke for abandoning her and her people at Mount Weather by trying to make a lasting peace between Grounders and Sky People. |
| 169 | * BackForTheFinale: |
| 170 | ** In "[[Recap/The100S03E016 Perverse Instantiation Part 2]]," she gets a BigDamnHeroes moment [[spoiler: helping Clarke through the City of Light]]. |
| 171 | ** [[spoiler:Lexa, or rather her form, appears again in the series final episode [[Recap/The100S07E16 The Last War]] as the form the Judge takes for Clarke since she represents both her greatest love and greatest failure.]] |
| 172 | * BadassLongcoat: Part of her usual commander getup, combined with a long red ScarfOfAsskicking that trails from her shoulder pad. |
| 173 | * BeneathTheMask: Despite her LoveIsAWeakness facade, she often shows a gentler, softer side. |
| 174 | * BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler: Her LastStand in the City Of Light so that Clarke can get to the kill switch ends like this as it isn't shown whether or not she dies "again" in the fight against A.L.I.E's people.]] |
| 175 | ** [[spoiler:This makes it a possibility that she may be still alive in the Flame/A.L.I.E 2 chip and possibly make an appearance in future seasons if the chip is ever used again.]] |
| 176 | * BornAgainImmortality: She states that when she dies, her spirit will choose the next Commander and will be reborn [[spoiler:through the A.L.I.E. 2.0 chip implanted in her brain-stem. This is confirmed in the Season 3 finale when she returns and helps Clarke in the City Of Light]]. |
| 177 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Accidentally shot by Titus who was trying to shoot Clarke and frame Murphy for Clarke's death.]] |
| 178 | * ClosetKey: Lexa was the first girl Clarke felt something for on the show and their first kiss revealed to the viewers that Clarke is bisexual. |
| 179 | * CommandingCoolness: The highest-ranking leader of the Grounders with a rank of "Commander." |
| 180 | * ''Main/{{Cyborg}}'': [[spoiler:She is technically one because of the revelation of the A.L.I.E 2 chip being in her head and it being revealed that her black blood is artificial and is used to process information from the chip.]] |
| 181 | ** [[spoiler:She becomes an ArtificialIntelligence when she dies and her mind uploads into the Flame/A.L.I.E 2.0]]. |
| 182 | * DualWielding: She does this in [[Recap/The100S03E04 ''Watch the Thrones'']] after stealing Roan's sword. Given that Anya was her mentor, she may have learned it from her. [[spoiler:She also fights with two swords when she helps Clarke in the City Of Light.]] |
| 183 | * EasilyForgiven: {{Averted}}. Clarke was still angry with her for abandoning them at Mount Weather to the point of wanting to kill her and she only eventually forgave her because Lexa was putting effort into making peace between their people and having to stay by her side to guarantee and maintain the peace. She is later able to forgive her enough for her romantic feelings towards her to come back. |
| 184 | * FacialMarkings: Like many of the Grounders, she wears heavy black eye makeup and also a gold wheel-like adornment on her brow, probably to signify her as the leader. |
| 185 | * FakeGuestStar: She got a lot of character development and made about the same amount of appearances as the main cast and she was used to promote the third season. |
| 186 | * FriendToAllChildren: Lexa has a soft spot for the children she trains. In "Ye Who Enter Here", Lexa is seen training with one of the Nightbloods, Aden, praising him during their match and backing off when he manages to hit her rather than countering. |
| 187 | * HeroicSacrifice: Of a sort in [[Recap/The100S03E016 "Perverse Instantiation pt. 2."]] [[spoiler: She's already dead, but her holding off the crowd of Chipped people so Clarke can make it to the killswitch is framed as such.]] |
| 188 | * IconicSequelCharacter: While mentioned indirectly in Season 1, Lexa didn't make a proper debut until midway thru Season 2. However, she almost instantly became one of the show's most popular and iconic characters due to the fact that she was seen as great LGBT representation, being a lesbian who was allowed to be more than just their sexuality, and her interesting dynamic with Clarke. She was eventually made Clarke's main love interest and her OneTrueLove, even being brought back years after she died as the form the Judge takes when talking to Clarke. |
| 189 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: Lots and lots of times, the two major ones being letting the site of her war council be bombed because evacuating more people than herself and Clarke would have tipped off the Mountain Men that their communications were being intercepted and abandoning the forces of Camp Jaha after having negotiated the release of the Grounder prisoners from the Mountain Men. |
| 190 | * IronLady: She's renowned even by other Grounders for her ruthlessness. |
| 191 | * KneelBeforeFrodo: After originally saying she wanted Clarke to bow before her in "Ye Who Enter Here", she kneels before Clarke and swears loyalty to her. |
| 192 | * LadyOfWar: She's her people's leader, is always [[TheStoic calm and composed]], and, by the standards of her Barbarian Tribe, she dresses and acts rather regally. She hasn't had too many fight scenes, but when she does fight, it's with a swift and graceful economy of movement. |
| 193 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[WordOfStPaul Alycia Debnam-Carey]] stated [[http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/03/03/the-100-alycia-debnam-carey-on-the-lexa-clarke-relationship-and-the-season-finale-showdown here]] that Clarke finds solace with Lexa and vice-versa. |
| 194 | * TheLostLenore: Lexa is not the only person Clarke loved and lost, but she is by far the one Clarke mourns the most. Lexa's death still haunts Clarke years later. |
| 195 | * LoveInterestTraitor: Played with. She admits her feelings for Clarke before kissing her, and then the next day on the battlefield, she invites Clarke to join her in the Grounder Capitol. Then during the battle, Lexa was offered a deal with the Mountain Men she couldn't turn down -- even though it meant betraying Clarke. Season 3 makes it ridiculously clear she regrets it though, especially when she sees what it did to Clarke. |
| 196 | * LoveIsAWeakness: She began to believe this after her girlfriend was tortured and killed by an enemy clan who thought she knew Lexa's secrets. |
| 197 | -->'''Clarke''': So you just stopped caring? About everyone? ''(Lexa nods)'' I could never do that.\ |
| 198 | '''Lexa''': Then you put the people you care about in danger, and the pain will never go away. |
| 199 | ** Overtime Lexa eventually subverts this trope due to her love for Clarke [[spoiler: and in Season 5 Madi tells Clarke that Lexa is the only one of the Commanders who doesn't believe this anymore.]] |
| 200 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Lexa has this moment in "Ye Who Enter Here" when Clarke holds a knife to her throat in revenge for abandoning the Sky People on Mount Weather and for forcing Clarke to irradiate the mountain. While Clarke can't bring herself to kill Lexa the experience rattles Lexa and she notes that she never wanted Clarke to turn out like that. She almost allows Clarke to leave the capital without becoming part of her coalition before Clarke stops her. |
| 201 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:As Madi reveals to Clarke near the end of Season 5 Lexa views her decision to abandon Clarke to face Mount Weather alone to be the greatest regret of her life. She therefore shows Madi these visions to convince Clarke not to make the same mistake she did by betraying her friends to protect Madi. This drives Clarke to tears and finally lets her accept Madi becoming Commander of Wonkru.]] |
| 202 | * NeverBeHurtAgain: When her girlfriend was killed because of her power, Lexa decided that the best way to stop her (and anyone else close to her) affecting her was to close herself off to all feelings. [[DefrostingIceQueen Then she meets Clarke]]. |
| 203 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Her body dies but her mind is uploaded into the Flame/A.L.I.E 2 chip.]] |
| 204 | * NotSoStoic: Whenever [[LoveInterest Clarke]]'s around, Lexa drops her guard and is more open. |
| 205 | * OneTrueLove: Lexa ends up becoming this for Clarke. While neither of them are the first people each other has loved their bond is stronger then any they've ever had and Clarke never fully moves on after Lexa dies to the point that she never has another love interest for the rest of the series. [[spoiler:To fully cement this in the series finale the Judge takes on the form of Clarke's greatest love who is shown to be Lexa with WordOfGod confirming that this was an intentional choice to show how important Lexa was to Clarke.]] |
| 206 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: Lexa is "more than '''cuy'''pable of separating feelings from duty!". |
| 207 | * PutOnABus: In Season 2, when she abandons Clarke and the rest of the Sky People in the first episode of the two part season finale. |
| 208 | ** In Season 3, [[spoiler:her death could be considered this because of her mind being uploaded into the A.L.I.E 2/The Flame chip and TheBusCameBack when she returns to help Clarke in the City Of Light in the finale.]] |
| 209 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: |
| 210 | ** It's mentioned that she's a visionary and, rather than simply charging and killing Camp Jaha, she gives them a chance to retreat and when they prove they can turn Reapers back to normal they are willing to enter a truce so long as Finn pays for the 18 he killed. When Clarke kills him and denies them the execution, she tells them that its done rather than let them have Clarke. |
| 211 | ** She also is shown to acknowledge the distinction between killing in a war and outright murder: Clarke originally tries to offer herself in place of Finn, citing that she burned three-hundred Grounders alive. The Commander refuses the offer, saying that Finn is the one who is guilty. |
| 212 | ** Concedes that assassinating her would in no way benefit the Sky People and turns on her loyal bodyguard when he confesses. |
| 213 | * RuleOfSymbolism: In Episode 3 of Season 3, Lexa bows before Clarke and swears fealty to her, but the way she says it, their by that point confirmed attraction and the overall look of the scene makes it look a lot like a marriage proposal. [[SexEqualsLove Considering what happens 4 episodes later]]... |
| 214 | * SacrificialLion:[[spoiler:Her death serves the purpose of furthering the A.L.I.E plot with the revelation of the A.L.I.E 2 chip which is later revealed to be the way to defeat A.L.I.E being inside her head and that a nightblood becomes the new commander when it is put in their head leading to the search for Luna to prevent the sociopathic Ontari from becoming commander. The search for Luna results in Clarke returning to Arkadia to find Lincoln to get information on how to find her but instead returns to find out that he is dead and that Arkadia has been taken over by A.L.I.E putting her in to the plot.]] |
| 215 | * SecondLove: For Clarke. |
| 216 | * SecretTestOfCharacter: Disguises herself as a slave girl attending to Jaha and Kane's cell in order to listen in on their discussion and judge if their desire for peace was genuine. They pass, and she gives the truce a chance. |
| 217 | ** Giving Clarke the choice on whether or not to kill Emerson is implied to be one as she gives the implication that she may declare war on Clarke's people if she decided to kill him as she would have been shown to be a hypocrite for wanting to kill him for what he did to her people, but expects Lexa not to punish the Sky People for what Pike and the others did to her people. |
| 218 | * SergeantRock: She cannot show weakness to anyone, not even her men. But she does care for them dearly. |
| 219 | * SexEqualsLove: The series has plenty of love scenes, but the one between Lexa and Clarke stands out as by far the most romantic up to that point. |
| 220 | * ShipTease: With Clarke in Season 2 when it is revealed that Lexa is attracted to women because of her story about Costia and she is shown to really care about Clarke. Becomes less of a tease when Clarke reveals the feeling is mutual when they kiss but declines to enter in a relationship with her for now because of what recently happened to Finn and wanting to focus on getting her people out of Mount Weather. |
| 221 | ** They get a RelationshipUpgrade in Season 3. |
| 222 | * TheStoic: Hardly shows any emotion. A notable exception is when she's forced to kill her bodyguard; she looks visibly shaken afterwards. |
| 223 | * StoryBreakerPower:[[spoiler:The revelation of the A.L.I.E 2 chip being in her head and the events of the finale makes it clear that if Lexa hadn't died she could have defeated A.L.I.E way before she was able to recruit so many people if she ever found out about what she was doing.]] |
| 224 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: She's a ruthless and stoic commander. But when she's around [[MoralityPet Clarke]] she's more open and vulnerable. |
| 225 | * SupportingLeader: The highest-ranking member of the grounders, she commands the military forces. She united a coalition of twelve different clans under her banner. |
| 226 | * ToughLeaderFacade: Implied to be this; she notably became more closed-off and ruthless after Costia's death so she could better lead her people. |
| 227 | * WhenSheSmiles: In the few instances that Lexa actually smiles, it is truly something endearing. |
| 228 | * WrongGenreSavvy: She expects Clarke to be able to forgive her betrayal with them being the two stars of a DarkerAndEdgier CrapsackWorld story full of BlackAndGreyMorality. Instead, the next time they meet Clarke spits in her face and screams that she's going to kill her. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] While Clarke may or may not have forgiven, she does agree to enter into an alliance with her in [[Recap/The100S03E03 "Ye Who Enter Here"]]. |
| 229 | ** This is zig-zagged with her decision to make the Sky People the 13th clan and also her later decision to not retaliate against the Sky People for Pike's actions as she is aware that her people will have a problem with her decisions and that some may attempt to kill her and take her throne which Queen Nia attempted to do. She later comes up with a middle ground on the Pike situation by giving the Sky People the choice to either surrender him to them or be confined in a border that if they ever cross they will be killed on sight as she didn't want to wipe them out but she couldn't let them get away with the things they've done either, but of course this wasn't enough for some of her people [[spoiler:and this eventually leads to an attempted assassination by one of her people and later leads to her accidental death by Titus.]] |
| 230 | * YoungAndInCharge: She's obviously far younger than a lot of the Grounder warriors she commands. She is actually around age 20-22 and became commander when she was 12. |

| 238 | |
| 239 | An authority figure for The Grounders. She meets with Clarke to discuss a peace treaty. |
| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * ActionGirl: A leader who can hold her own in a battle and even trained the Commander herself. |
| 242 | * BadassBoast: In a last desperate attempt to salvage the peace talks, Clarke warns Anya that once the Ark soldiers come to Earth, they'll wipe out The Grounders. Anya responds that they've survived much worse. |
| 243 | * BadassLongcoat: Seems to be a signature getup shared by her and Commander Lexa, her former second. It's distinctive enough to suggest that the untouchable Heda might have had [[HeroWorshipper some inspiration]] in her formal getup. |
| 244 | * CharacterDeath: She gets shot by members of the Camp Jaha right after parting with Clarke after agreeing to try and work towards peace. |
| 245 | * DemotedToDragon: When Tristan shows up and reveals the Grounder Commander put him in charge, she steps down. |
| 246 | * DualWielding: She dual-wields two long blades in the first season finale. |
| 247 | * EnemyMine: She and Clarke have to work together to escape Mount Weather. |
| 248 | * TheLeader: Subverted. Her group's only part of a larger faction, although she does have the authority to call for a truce. |
| 249 | * TheMentor: Was previously one to Lexa. |
| 250 | * MoralMyopia: Everything she complains to Clarke as being an act of war was ''retaliatory'', especially the trespassing onto tribal land as that was a direct result of Lincoln kidnapping Octavia. What's worse, she brings a ChildSoldier as part of the force intending to exterminate the 100, and when that attack is repelled, kidnaps Clarke, takes a hostage and forces Clarke to provide medical aid to said child. Then after killing the child herself because the treatment wasn't as effective as she'd like, she tries to kill Clarke and the hostage. It's so bad, Lincoln helps Clarke escape and goes ScrewThisImOuttaHere, explicitly telling Clarke that his tribe is wrong. |
| 251 | * OccupiersOutOfOurCountry: Or off our planet, in this case. To her, The 100 are hostile invaders and she doesn't trust their offer of peace, seeing it either as a trap or a cheap attempt to avoid the war that they started. |
| 252 | * ShaggyDogStory: She and Clarke fight tooth and nail to get out of Mount Weather before Clarke offers to broker a truce between their people. Anya agrees, and is shot by Camp Jaha guards. |
| 253 | * ShadowArchetype: At first glance, she comes off as a darker version of Clarke: She's in a position of authority among The Grounders and clearly values the lives of her people enough to at least show up to a PeaceConference, but she has a much harsher attitude than Clarke and seems much less inclined to believe that peace is actually possible. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that Clarke was raised by loving parents who taught her to value others' lives, while Anya was raised an a hostile DeathWorld where aggression and territorial paranoia are the only things that keep you alive. The fact that Clarke basically told Anya to behave or else because other Skypeople are coming , ends up justifying Anya's distrust of the Skypeople. |
| 254 | * UngratefulBitch: She knocks Clarke out and takes her back to her people as a prize, despite the fact that Clarke put her life on the line to rescue Anya. |
| 255 | * VillainHasAPoint: While an antagonist to the 100, she points out they are trespassers on their land, which lead to Jasper being impaled in the pilot. Also, Bellamy did lead an intruding party despite the clearly marked warning. For Anya, the two people the Grounders have killed for trepassing on their land amounts to nothing compared to the whole village burnt down by the 100's flares. Clarke's offer of making peace now or the rest of the Ark wipes the Grounders out later didn't impress Anya either. |
| 256 | * WhatTheHellHero: When she accuses The 100 of being invaders, Clarke counters that they didn't know that anyone else was alive on Earth. Anya responds that they knew The Grounders were there when they led a raiding party onto Grounder territory, captured and tortured Lincoln, and burned down a Grounder village with their flares. (Though this last one was an accident.) |
| 257 | * WorstAid: Anya removes a tracker planted in her skin by ''biting down on the section of skin and then ripping it out''. She doesn't screw around. |

In Gustus's case, he was ready to renew hostility between Camp Jaha and the Grounders all because the alliance would endanger Lexa. Bellamy shares this train of thought when he immediately pins Gustus as the perpetrator, and admits later that it just "made sense" to him. |

| 282 | The current Flamekeeper (Fleimkepa), his role is to give the Commander counsel. Titus is against allying with Skaikru, believing that it will endanger the alliance. |
| 283 | ---- |
| 284 | * AccidentalMurder: He had been meaning to kill Clarke, but [[spoiler: accidentally shoots Lexa instead, causing her death]]. |
| 285 | * CantKillYouStillNeedYou: He is not punished for what happened to Lexa because of him being the only flamekeeper. |
| 286 | * {{Expy}}: In-Universe; He is basically an older version of Gustus who was also against Lexa making peace with the Sky People out of the fear that this decision would make it that their people will turn against her and try to kill her. They also both attempt to frame a Sky Person for an assassination to manipulate Lexa into wiping them out and they both seem to see Lexa as a daughter. |
| 287 | * NeverMyFault: He initially blames Clarke for his accidental murder of [[spoiler:Lexa]] since she was the one he was trying to kill and the fact that he tried to because of her convincing [[spoiler:Lexa]] not to declare war on the Sky People for what they did. |

| 302 | Another commanding figure among the Grounders, though with more authority than Anya and the ultimate goal of wiping out the 100. |
| 303 | ---- |
| 304 | * BigBad: Serves as this in the Ground storyline of Season 1, considering he is the one leading the assault on the 100. Turns out to be a DiscOneFinalBoss when Season 2 rolls around, with him being killed early in Season 2. |
| 305 | * BoomHeadshot: He ends up meeting his end this way thanks to Kane. |
| 306 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: The 100 thought that the Grounder invasion (headed by Tristan at the time) was the biggest threat to their life on Earth. They're wrong -- he's taken out easily at the start of Season 2, and the Mountain Men are bigger fish to fry. |
| 307 | * {{Foil}}: If Anya is one to Clarke, then Tristan is one to Bellamy. Both are serious, ruthless leaders that wish for nothing short of their enemies' complete genocide. Differences again kick in when factoring in that Bellamy is a violently protective older brother that looks out for others, whereas Tristan seems to care very little for other people. Both also showed no problem with torturing enemies. |

| 348 | The Azgeda, or Ice Nation, is a Grounder clan led by Queen Nia. The Trigedakru and Azgeda were at war with each other before the creation of the Coalition. Lexa tells Clarke how the Queen of the Ice Nation killed her former lover, Costia, because she believed that Costia knew all of Lexa's secrets. In retaliation, Lexa banished Prince Roan as part of the conditions of allowing the Ice Nation into the Coalition. The Ice Nation stretches for thousands of miles. The Ice Nation border is at Sector 8, but the ice is farther to the north. Many Azgeda have distinctive facial scarring and many of the Ice Nation warriors are known to wear white paint. |

| 354 | * FillerVillain: They are only the antagonists for the first 3 episodes of Season 3 and their actions only set up Pike as the true ArcVillain of the season until A.L.I.E takes over as the true BigBad. |

| 381 | * XanatosGambit: Her actions involving the destruction of Mount Weather was all to achieve her main goal of taking Lexa's throne, this includes having Echo lure Bellamy and others away and making them think that they are going to attempt to kill Lexa knowing that Sky People interupting the ceremony would sway votes to her side or that they might accidentally kill Lexa themselves in the confusion. Her plan in the end only failed because of the Sky People officially becoming the 13th clan making it that Clarke's vote counted as well. |

| 392 | * BigBadWannabe: Considering the fact that [[spoiler:she murders the other Nightblood children and [[TyrantTakesTheHelm takes the Commander position for herself]] after Lexa's death]] one would assume she would be the BigBad for the rest of the season.

| 405 | ** [[spoiler: She later becomes this for A.L.I.E after Jaha convinces her to take the chip and A.L.I.E uses Ontari's position as commander to chip almost all the grounders in Polis.]] |

| 407 | * TheSociopath: She shows no remorse for what she did to the [[spoiler:nightblood children]] and was going to kill the advisors who questioned her legitimacy of being the commander before Murphy talked her out of it and it shown that she has a hard time keeping her emotions in check and could snap at any second. |

| 443 | The Floukru, also known as Floudon Kru or the Boat People, are a clan led by Luna. This clan is allied with the Trikru and, according to Lincoln they live "east to the sea, then across it . The Floukru's territory is east of the Trikru's territory. The Floukru have functioning diving suits and boats. They live on an oil rig, away from the mainland. This allows them to live in peace, avoiding violence and war. They take in orphans, people fleeing wars, and those done fighting and killing. Their peaceful philosophy makes them different from the other clans. Their spiritual views differ slightly from other Grounders. Instead of burning their dead, they return the bodies to the sea. While other Grounders use the phrase "Yu gonplei ste odon" ("Your fight is over"), Floukru uses the phrase "Kom woda ‘so gyon op, gon woda ‘so kom daun" ("From water we are born, to water we return") as the last rites. |

| 459 | ---- |
| 460 | * AlienBlood: As a Nightblood her blood will be black. [[BadassPacifist Not that we see her bleed]]. [[spoiler:As it turns out it's this very blood the makes her immune to radiation sickness.]] |
| 461 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She implies she was a better fighter than Lexa and that if they fought in the conclave she would have beaten her and this is why she fled because she didn't want to kill her or anyone else. |

| 463 | * BadassPacifist: She leads the ''Floukru'' for those done with fighting. Currently, she lives a life of non-violence with her people and doesn't agree with the Grounder code of "Blood Must Have Blood", but is shown to be very skilled in combat with her take down of Clarke when she tries to force the Flame into her head. |
| 464 | ** She also doubles as a MartialPacifist because of her skills in combat and being good with children. This eventually leads to her being forced to break her code of not killing when she kills [[spoiler:A.L.I.E's followers when they try to force her to take the chip]] by threatening a child. |
| 465 | ** Also an ObstructionistPacifist because of her vow against violence and her later decision to [[spoiler:drug Clarke and the others and return them to the mainland]] kept them from defeating A.L.I.E sooner since Luna's skills [[spoiler:and her getting the kill code from the Flame]] could have made it easier and would have prevented them from having to [[spoiler:try and rescue Ontari which eventually lead to Clarke having to use her blood to use the Flame and defeat A.L.I.E herself and having a harder time because of this.]] |
| 466 | * TheBusCameBack: She and the rest of The Floukru return in "The Four Horseman" suffering from radiation poisoning and asking to be saved by the Sky People. [[spoiler:Sadly only Luna survives the rest end up dead.]] |
| 467 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Octavia takes her out by way of a sneak attack in the Conclave.]] |
| 468 | * ChildhoodFriends: It is implied that she and Lexa were this by the fact they grew up and trained together. Luna didn't want to kill Lexa after having to kill her brother and left the conclave and the Trikru to avoid doing it. |
| 469 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Was mentioned in Season 1 before her introduction in Season 3. She was noted to be a friend of Lincoln's who would take him and Octavia in and he was originally going to bring all of the 100 to her clan when the conflict with the Trikru got worse. |

| 474 | * HumansAreBastards: Having seen the death and destruction caused by her own people during her Conclave Luna strongly believes that most humans are inherently blood thirsty monsters which is why she abandoned her potential coronation as Commander and became the leader of Floukru. |
| 475 | * TheImmune: It's revealed in "The Four Horseman" that [[spoiler:her Nightblood allows her to survive the radiation that killed her people possibly making her the key needed to save people from radiation.]] |
| 476 | * ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Luna asks Clarke when she returns in Season 4 if watching all of her people slowly die off right in front of her is punishment for not accepting The Flame in the previous season.]] |

| 480 | * RefusalOfTheCall: Knew she could have become the next commander, but refused and fled the conclave. [[spoiler:Even after seeing how dangerous A.L.I.E is she still refuses to take the Flame and drugs and banishes Clarke and her friends off the oil rig.]] |
| 481 | * TheSoCalledCoward: She is considered a coward by Titus and Grounder society because she ran away from the conclave when she was supposed to fight Lexa in the last round, but she states that she didn't run away because she thought she would lose, but because she knew she would win and that she didn't want to fight and kill anymore after having too kill her brother in her first fight. |
| 482 | * SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:She and the rest of her people go to the Sky People after suffering extreme radiation poisoning. However Luna is the only one to survive due to her Nightblood thus leaving her as the sole surviving member of the Floukru.]] |
| 483 | * TheStoic: Just like other Grounder characters she doesn't show very many emotions and only seems slightly saddened when she finds out about the deaths of [[spoiler:Lincoln and Lexa]]. |
| 484 | ** NotSoStoic when she is forced to kill Derrick [[spoiler:who was under A.L.I.E's control]] in self defense and she cries over his death, but she goes back to stoic later on and almost shows no emotion when Clarke and the others collapse from their drinks being spiked by her, so that she can send them back to mainland. |
| 485 | * StrawNihilist: [[spoiler: She becomes this in Season 4 after years of witnessing both the brutality of Grounder culture and the extreme lengths Skaikru is willing to go in order to save humanity. As the last of the Floukru, she has no one left to fight for and fights only for death, declaring that humanity should just die from the radiation.]] |
| 486 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: Luna outright states that if she hadn't fled the Conclave, she would have defeated Lexa and become the next Commander. Based on appearance alone, she's a peaceful and serene individual and states that she hates fighting and killing now. [[spoiler: When we see her fight at the Conclave in Season 4, she's a ruthless combatant and she's able to hold her own against both Roan and Octavia at the same time.]] |
| 487 | * ThereIsAnother: [[spoiler:After Ontari has all the other nightbloods killed, thus ensuring that she is the only possible candidate for becoming the next commander]], Titus reveals that Lincoln's mysterious friend Luna is a Nightblood who fled the conclave long ago. |
| 488 | * ThouShaltNotKill: She has vowed never to kill again after fleeing the Conclave. [[spoiler:{{Subverted}} when she is forced to kill A.L.I.E's followers when they threaten a child.]] Her vow against killing is why she refuses to become the new commander and help in the fight against A.L.I.E because she knows that the fight might require her to kill people. |
| 489 | * [[spoiler: WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: She becomes one after witnessing the deaths of her entire clan and being perceived as a tool by Skaikru simply for having Nightblood.]] |
| 490 | * WorfHadTheFlu: Luna loses a fight to Roan in Becca's lab after refusing to take part in any more of their experiments. When the two meet again at the final Conclave, she outright states that the only reason Roan won their last fight was because she was injured at the time and weak from having her bone marrow extracted. [[spoiler: She wasn't wrong, as she takes on Roan and Octavia at the same time on equal footing. The Back Rain forces Octavia to run, but Roan can't get away from Luna before she drowns him.]] |

| 595 | |
| 596 | A member of the Glowing Forest clan who lived on a farm with his family. At some point, he came under the influence of A.L.I.E., but he was freed when Clarke disables the City of Light. |
| 597 | ---- |
| 598 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: At the final Conclave, [[spoiler:Echo mortally wounds him by shooting his neck with an arrow. He asks Octavia to kill him afterward with her blade.]] |
| 599 | * FacialMarkings: His facial tattoos are a row of eight dots running down his forehead. |
| 600 | * MercyKill: He does this to his mother when she is slowly dying. [[spoiler: Ilian ends up dying in a very similar way later.]] |
| 601 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Under the influence of A.L.I.E., he kills both his father and brother and is about to kill his mother before he was freed from the City of Light. |
| 602 | * NewTechnologyIsEvil: Ilian definitely feels this way due to his entire family dying directly as a result of A.L.I.E. When he arrives at Arkadia, he sabotages one of their server rooms. |
| 603 | * SexForSolace: He sleeps with Octavia as the two shelter in a cave from the black rain. Mainly she does it in order to "feel something else". |
| 604 | * TemporaryLoveInterest: For Octavia in Season 4. |

| 613 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/madi_the_100.jpg]] |
| 614 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/ImogenTear (Season 4), Creator/LolaFlanery (Season 5 onwards) |
| 615 | |
| 616 | A member of the Shallow Valley clan. Over the TimeSkip at the end of Season 4, Clarke found and adopted her. |
| 617 | ---- |
| 618 | * AChildShallLeadThem: She becomes [[spoiler:Heda after taking the Flame, making her the symbolic leader of Wonkru.]] |
| 619 | * AdoptiveNameChange: It's unclear if Madi had a last name prior to meeting Clarke, but when she's put into cryosleep, the machines monitoring her vitals have her last name as "Griffin." |
| 620 | * BrokenPedestal: Madi grew up hearing Clarke tell her bedtime stories about her friends, but six years has changed everyone, something she keeps discovering as she gets to know them. Madi idolizes Octavia in particular, and is aghast to find out that Octavia has no compunctions about using her to retain her power over Wonkru. |
| 621 | * ExtremelyProtectiveChild: Of Clarke, including becoming Octavia's second and disclosing her Nightblood status, as Clarke is putting herself in Octavia's sites by trying to hide it from her. Clarke is ''not'' pleased. This tendency is how Bellamy [[spoiler: convinces her to take the Flame.]] |
| 622 | * HappilyAdopted: She loves Clarke to death. |
| 623 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Madi's never really had a chance to be a normal kid. She had to forgo sports out of fear others would find out she's a Nightblood, then [[spoiler:the Primfaya wave killed everyone she knew and Clarke was her sole companion for six years, and eventually she has to become the Commander to save Wonkru. After the Flame is destroyed, Madi isn't sure what to do with herself, but Jackson tells her that it's okay to just act like a kid for once and play around with people her own age]]. |
| 624 | * InnocenceLost: Kind of Madi's whole CharacterArc. Despite having undergone a significant amount of emotional trauma prior as a young child, after being adopted, she spends half her life in complete safety with Clarke's undivided love and attention. As a result, she's a WideEyedIdealist and a bit of a KiddieKid when she's reintroduced at age 12 or so. The plot would ensure this doesn't last, as she is first [[spoiler: forced to kill an Eligius mook, contend with being targeted for her Nightblood, and eventually be coerced into becoming the Commander. Even after the Flame is removed, Madi is unable to regain the innocence she had before becoming the Commander.]] |
| 625 | * LastOfHisKind: She's the last natural-born Nightblood on Earth. |
| 626 | * LittleMissBadass: She's fairly young (either a preteen or a young teenager) and is introduced to Bellamy and company when she gets the drop on Eligius {{mooks}} and disposes of them easily. |
| 627 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Clarke, who loses it if she's in danger. Justified -- Madi was [[spoiler:her only companion on a barren Earth for nearly six years]]. |
| 628 | * ParentsInDistress: [[spoiler:Is more than willing to murder scores of enemies to get her adoptive mommy back.]] |
| 629 | * PluckyGirl: She's surprisingly well-adjusted and takes everything that happens like a champ. Before we meet her, she was forced to hide under the floor to avoid being found out as a Nightblood, saw everyone she ever knew die of radiation poisoning, and then survived two months alone after Praimfaya before being found by Clarke. This doesn't even cover the traumas we see her endure on the show. The only thing that she doesn't handle like this is [[spoiler:when she thinks Clarke is dead]]. |
| 630 | ** However, even she has her limits; when faced with the prospect of [[spoiler:acting as Commander without the Flame to call upon]], she has a panic attack and runs off. Though in a rare aversion of ThereAreNoTherapists, Madi starts having sessions with Jackson to come to terms with everything. |
| 631 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Seems to be going on this after Clarke's apparent death to avenge her, especially thanks to Sheidheda's influence.]] |
| 632 | * SomberBackstoryRevelation: Twice in season 7, when Madi tries to get Clarke to talk about [[spoiler: Abby's death]] by revealing [[spoiler: her own biological mother died in her arms--Madi was ''six.'']] Later, in talking with Jackson, she reveals [[spoiler: she never got to play outside or do normal "kid" things because her parents were afraid she would hurt herself, revealing her Nightblood.]] |
| 633 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: After taking the Flame, Madi turns from a PluckyGirl into a world-hardened military leader, unafraid to take the reigns and lead Wonkru into battle. She also has a healthy amount of bloodlust, even before Sheidheda's influence. The change disheartens Clarke. |

| 640 | ->'''Played by:''' Xavier De Guzman |
| 641 | |
| 642 | A dissenter against Indra's leadership following [[spoiler:the destruction of The Flame.]] |
| 643 | ---- |
| 644 | * DefeatMeansRespect: Deliberately invoked by Indra [[spoiler:after Knight openly challenges her leadership, gets his ass handed to him, then given an important mission instead of a punishment]]. Time will tell if it worked. |
| 645 | * Jerkass: His time on screen is devoted exclusively to speaking up against Indra at the time of his introduction. |
| 646 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Technically, he is correct about Indra deceiving Wonkru and the people of Sanctum. |

| 650 | !!Malachi kom Sangedakru, aka: Sheidheda |
| 651 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sheidheda.jpg]] |
| 652 | ->'''Played by:''' Dakota Daulby, [[spoiler:Creator/LolaFlanery (while possessing Madi)]], [[spoiler:JR Bourne (while possessing Russell Lightbourne's body)]] |
| 653 | |
| 654 | One of the past Commanders, given the title ''Sheidheda'' because of his evil and the dark history of his reign. Although he has been long dead, his mind remains in the Flame, and has been using it to convince Commanders to be just like him. He was the Commander during Indra's childhood. |
| 655 | ---- |
| 656 | * ArchEnemy: Is this for Indra because during his original lifetime he conquered Trikru, killed her father, forced her mother to kneel before him and butchered everyone who didn't. |
| 657 | * BigBadEnsemble: One of the main antagonists in Season 7 along with Bill Cadogan, but the two have different goals and are not working together. |
| 658 | * TheChessmaster: He spends his time on screen in a jail cell. Doesn't stop him from pulling many, many strings in Sanctum. |
| 659 | * TheCorruptor: With every new Commander, Sheidheda apparently always tries to corrupt them into murdering psychopaths and monsters just like him. He spends all of Season 6 trying to do this to Madi and almost succeeds before she is able to resist him at the last moment. |
| 660 | * DeaderThanDead: How he meets his final end after he is blasted by an Elegius sonic cannon. Let's just say that if the show was rated R then this trope would be LudicrousGibs instead. |
| 661 | * DemonicPossession: In a similar sense to how the Primes inhabit the bodies of hosts, Sheidheda takes possession of Madi. At least until she takes back control. [[spoiler:Sheidheda manages to transfer to Russell Lightbourne's mind drive, and he quickly kills him to become the body's sole occupant]]. |
| 662 | * TheDogBitesBack: Sheidheda was killed by his own Flamekeeper. Why? Because Sheidheda killed the three Flamekeepers before him. |
| 663 | ** His version of the events imply the first Flamekeeper had it coming, but that doesn't account for the following ones. |
| 664 | * TheDreaded: Sheidheda's infamous brutality made him a figure of terror during his lifetime and after his death he become a Satanic like figure whose presence haunts the Flame. The very real threat that he may take over Madi and control Wonkru is terrifying enough that the heroes [[GodzillaThreshold are willing to destroy the Flame]] rather then see him return. |
| 665 | * EyeScream: Courtesy of Madi, although it doesn't slow him down at all. |
| 666 | * FantasticRacism: Appears to have a low opinion of ''frikdreina'' (mutants) if the open disgust he shows Emori and her deformity is any indication. |
| 667 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Since Bill Cadogen dies early in the finale Sheidheda becomes the final antagonist of not just the series but for humanity itself. After his death humanity finally lets go of its need for violence and becomes worthy to achieve transcendence.]] |
| 668 | * AHeroToHisHometown: For Trikru, he might as well be the Devil. His clan, Sangedakru, remembers him as their greatest champion. |
| 669 | * KneelBeforeZod: He forces the people he conquers to kneel before him and is merciless toward those who don't, personally killing all the Children of Gabriel himself when they refuse to kneel. |
| 670 | * LastOfHisKind: He is eventually the only Commander left in the Flame [[spoiler:, leaving Madi vulnerable to his influence until his expulsion]]. |
| 671 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 672 | ** Sheidheda means "Dark Commander" in Trigedasleng. Pretty fitting for the Grounder equivalent of the Devil. |
| 673 | ** His real name is '''Mal'''achi. As in '''evil''' in many languages. |
| 674 | * RedRightHand: |
| 675 | ** His face is scarred, and his right eye appears to have been burned out. |
| 676 | ** In a case of HistoryRepeats, Sheidheda loses his right eye again during a duel between himself and Indra. |
| 677 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Thanks to his corruption, he drives Madi into one of these after Clarke is apparently killed.]] |
| 678 | * SatanicArchetype: Sheidheda was so evil during his life that he's treated as a Satanic figure in Grounder mythology, to the point where the Flamekeepers had to come up with a way to exorcise him from future Commanders. He gained this reputation in a single lifetime; Indra, who is in her late 40s, remembers seeing him as Commander when she was a child. |
| 679 | * SealedEvilInACan: If the Flame is the can, then Sheidheda (or, more accurately his mind) is definitely the evil sealed within. |
| 680 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: Sheidheda appears to enjoy chess, possibly because of its nature as a strategic game. When speaking with Madi Griffin, Nelson and John Murphy, Sheidheda did so over a game of chess while discussing strategy at the same time with them. White talking with Murphy, Sheidheda indicates that he uses chess to evaluate his opponents and their strategies to see what kind of person they are. |
| 681 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: When Madi takes back control of her body, he is ''not'' pleased]]. |
| 682 | -->'''Sheidheda:''' [[spoiler: ([[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind while trying to kill Madi]])]] [[spoiler: We would have ruled everything! Given birth to a new world in our image. A new perfection! Instead your weakness...has killed us both!]] |
| 683 | * WeCanRuleTogether: Basically pulls a version of this while he is trying to corrupt Madi and turn her into a monster like him. |
| 684 | -->'''Sheidheda:''' I want you to rule this world as I did the last. I want you to kill everyone who gets in your way. [[spoiler: I want you to get revenge for Clarke]]. |
| 685 | * WickedCultured: Sheidheda is an FauxAffablyEvil man who enjoys playing chess, and apparently even knows of '' Film/{{Casablanca}} '', as he quotes "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", after getting Indra and Murphy to agree with his terms. |
| 686 | * WorthyOpponent: Sees Indra as one of these, and he even treats her with a degree of respect after she submits to him. Of course, this is a sentiment not shared by Indra. |
| 687 | ** Murphy is this for him as a chess player too, and he appears to genuinely like him despite being on opposing sides. |
