No, I totally get what you were saying with Octavia. She keeps getting mad at people who don't fit in with her morals. Sometimes, that's Bellamy (Season 1). It's the Ark most of the time (for their phiolosophy of sacrifice, blind obedience, inflexibility, not to mention their condemnation of her brith). Right now at the start of Season 3 it's Lincoln, about his identity. Raven in Season 1, for torturing her love interest (never really liked Linctavia. though I get it, I still don't ship it. I feel that Lincoln is weak in mind/loyalty, and so is the foundation of their relationship). It was Clarke in Season 2. And yes, she also disagrees with the Trikru. She was appalled to find that Indra was content with Lexa sacrificing an entire village and lying to its people for the sake of war and alliance. However she chose to attribute it to the Trikru way of life, one philosophy she doesn't agree with, bur for the most part she wants to become part of their people and ways. When Clarke performed the deed however, she was infuriated with Clarke and chose to break their friendship.

Bottom Line: Octavia has a very strong sense of morals (though they are very unclear and have not been explicitly stated). While that may not be a bad thing, it leads to alot of conflict and complaining when she tries to judge others by it. Most of the characters on the show don't get as involved on others' moral development as Octavia; though you could see a clear view of what Clarke thought about Murphy in 2x07 (just an example). So, while judgment may be universal, Octavia is one of the most straightforward characters when it comes to judging others, she may say it to their face.

Octavia may be like this because unlike the others she never felt a sense of belonging. So you could call her a wanderer, thus she does not have very lasting ties of loyalty to any person or group of people. (You may consider Lincoln or Bellamy however, but her morals push her very far away from them at times.) Her past of being condemned since birth and having to be a shameful and fatal secret overwhelms her feelings of loyalty to any one person and instead makes her headstrong in her sense of morality and justice. This sadness in her life (a lack of public identity, belonging and acceptance) makes her so independent that she is always straying away from the mass, searching her own path, and STILL trying to find her own identity. She has not established an identity yet.
