Charlotte

Charlotte was a recurring character in the first season of The 100. She was portrayed by guest star Izabela Vidovic, and made her début in the third episode of season one.

Because of her crime, Charlotte was considered "expendable" and was chosen as one of the 100 Delinquents sent down to Earth to see if it was survivable.

While on Earth, Charlotte was repeatedly plagued by nightmares of Chancellor Jaha killing her parents. When asked, Charlotte admitted that she had these dreams nightly. When Bellamy Blake learned of these nightmares, he gave Charlotte the advice to "Slay her demons," while she was awake.

Charlotte misinterpreted what Bellamy meant and used his advice to kill Wells Jaha. Charlotte killed Wells because whenever she saw his face she was reminded of Chancellor Jaha, who killed her parents.

Charlotte confessed to the murder of Wells after Clarke Griffin accused John Murphy, whom nearly died because of the accusation.

Driven by Murphy's lust for revenge and guilt, Charlotte took her own life by jumping off a cliff.

Early Life
