Skairipa

In the first season, Octavia often helped Clarke as a medical assistant and collects information on Grounders for the Delinquents. She is part of the original 100 and was sent to juvenile lockup for being a second child which was against the law on The Ark. While on Earth, she faced many challenges: learning to be free, fighting for the survival of the Delinquents, trying to get into Mount Weather and save her friends, stopping A.L.I.E., losing Lincoln, and keeping 1200 people together peacefully in one bunker. Octavia was the lover of Lincoln. She embraced Grounder culture early on having never felt a part of the Sky People due to the circumstances of her birth, opting to wear Grounder clothing as well as applying Grounder war paint and getting at least one tattoo. She was the first to start speaking Trigedasleng, the Grounder language. In Season 4, Octavia fought and won the Final Conclave for the right of the Sky People to live in the bunker. However she decided to let all 12 clans to live in the bunker, and to become one clan. During the six years in the bunker, Octavia was the leader. While initially more lenient, after Kara Cooper’s coup, Octavia becomes Blodreina (Red Queen) and sentences anyone who breaks her to gladiatorial death matches. Two years after Praimfaya, a period of time, known as the “Dark Year” made Octavia dark and ruthless, because of Abby’s actions.
