This is gonna be a long list for favourites, the ones who I like somewhat but not quite on my favourites, and least favourites, so bare with me.

Favourites:

Octavia Blake: Motherfucking QUEEN. A lot of people said they didn't like her to begin with, but even from episode 1 before they opened the drop ship and she had attitude I knew she was gonna be a top one for me. 5 seasons later and Blodreina is SLAYING. When she and Lincoln became a thing, I immediately loved everything about them. Most of all, she is a strong, badass female character, and I love that she became a grounder through the seasons because she never felt like she belonged on the ark. Top moment for me for Octavia's character were her relationship with Lincoln (obviously), her wanting to fight and train with the Grounders (particularly when she was made Indra's second), her cute friendship with Jasper, and of course her love/hate relationship with her brother Bellamy. Most of all, her constant character development makes her perhaps one of the most interesting and unpredictable characters in the show.

Lincoln: Another obvious one for me. As soon as he saved Octavia the first time in the first few episodes of Season 1, I knew he was going to be an interesting character. Internal conflict about what is right and what is expected of you from your community? Yes please! One of the only deaths in the series to make me actually bring out the tissues. Since his death, everything that Octavia does, I always wonder what would happen if Lincoln were by her side. They were the best power couple who fought for peace, love and justice, with Lincoln determined to be part of her community and Octavia fighting to be accepted into his. One of the best scenes with these two is when he told the 100 the antidote after Octavia cut herself with his knife- seeing the panic in his eyes was almost heartbreaking enough. Most tragic death in the whole series, severly missed.

Jasper Jordan: Like most people, I found Jasper at his peak in season 1. He was more appealing to me as the kid with the goggles, and his witty friendship with Monty, something that was lost after the second season. Plus, he had a more central role in the first 2 seasons, but somehow got pushed aside from then until his death, which kinda sucked. His friendships with Octavia and Monty were heartwarming, definitely a favourite on my list. Kid with the goggles, you are missed.

Bellamy Blake: Almost a love or hate character, and I certainly changed my mind throughout the seasons. When first watching, I hated season 1 Bellamy (or "whatever the hell we want!" Bellamy), but watching it multiple times and knowing the character he is now, I have a warmer spot for him. I didn't like the way he tried to control Octavia in S1, but that was part of his character, so understandable. Season 2 and 4 Bellamy were far better for me, seeing parts of him that weren't as prominent in other seasons was interesting, his softer side rather than his brutal side which was most of season 1. However, like a lot of others, S3 Bellamy really pissed me off. His collaboration with Pike, and more importantly his role in Lincoln's tragic death, was the thing that made me unsure about Bellamy. Can see him going to fight with Octavia about her leadership choices in S5 and, as much as some of her decisions are controversial, he needs to respect her as a commander just like everyone else.

Raven Reyes: Jesus, this girl has been through a damn lot. Cheated on by her long term boyfriend, said long term boyfriend is murdered by the girl he cheated on her with, gets her leg fucked up by Murphy, gets her brain fucked up by A.L.I.E., gets slashed by Lexa for a crime she was framed by Gustus for- Raven is one badass character. I like her cocky attitude and the way that she knows she's irreplaceable to the 100, yet she still sacrifices herself time and time again. As much as it isn't going to happen, totally would love to see her and Murphy get together. Either that or her and Shaw, because they seem a lot alike. Also, her father-daughter type relationship with Sinclair leaves me melancholy. Poor Sinclair.

Marcus Kane: Hated the bastard in S1, but over the 3 seasons aftr he grew on me. Gutted when he was chipped in S3, even after being crucified (for God's sake, Jaha!). The best Kane scene for me has to be either the one in s2 where he attempts to kill himself for the sake of a truce (Lexa's first scene), or Lincoln's death scene when he supports Octavia. All in all, a pretty good character.

John Murphy: Let's be honest, how many people actually LIKED season 1 Murphy? He was a violent pain in the ass who fucked up Raven's leg. But again, over the seasons, grew on me for his wit and humour. Plus, he earned a fuck tonne of respect for refusing to be chipped from the beginning, and for staying with Raven on the ship in s5.

Ones Who I Like, But Aren't Quite Favourites:

Lexa: Lexa was a tricky one for me, but she still made it on my list. Not so much for her relationship with Clarke (as cute as it was), but I just found her quite a badass and I was pretty sad when she died. Not Lincoln/Jasper death sad, but sad enough.

Roan: Similar to Lexa, pissed me off at points but I was still pretty gutted in the way he died. Huge respect for fighting the conclave himself and being drowned in acid rain, as unfair as it was. Would've been a good character to continue into season 5 with.

Indra: Hated her to begin with, but after she forgave Lincoln and became a mother-mentor to Octavia, I would say I'd be sad if she died.

Clarke Griffin: I'm in two minds about Clarke. From S1E1 I disliked her because I thought she was a bossy bitch, who then fucked someone else's boyfriend. Plus, she and Lexa were just going to leave all them people to die at Tondc. However, she's saved Octavia and Lincoln on a few occasions, and has proven to be useful at points, so I'm still making up my mind about our protagonist.

Jacapo Sinclair: Raven's dad, basically. One of the saddest deaths in the series as well, I feel like the character was underused and taken before his time.

Kyle Wick: He and Raven were so sweet! I can never remember what happened to Wick after Mount Weather- did he die? Did I miss that?

Nyko: Lincoln's buddy and healer who helped Lincoln with Octavia in season 1, his death was pretty gutting too.

Echo: I actually quite liked Echo until she tried to kill Octavia. (Back away, Bellarke shippers!). However, the fact that she and Bellamy are together now pisses me off. She tried to kill your sister dude. Not cool.

Monty Green: He's cute, but not exactly a favourite.

Least Favourites (aka probably hate them):

Charles Pike: Top of the hate list for me. That motherfucker killed Lincoln, and fucked up an alliance. I was so happy when Octavia stabbed him in the S3 finale.

Thelonius Jaha: Weird, I loved him in s1. He just went severly downhill after that. (Fuck the city of light, and get your damn chips away from me).

Finn Collins: Never liked the dude from the start, but I can understand why maybe some people did. He wanted peace, which is all well and good. So did Lincoln, and he made my top 2.But here is my problem with Finn. The dude went crazy. He cheated on his hot as fuck girlfriend, barely waiting til he got to the ground before getting his dick out for Clarke, which made me mad because I like Raven so much. But his obsession with Clarke was too much for me. I mean, attacking a grounder village and massacaring children over a freakin' watch? That isn't very peaceful, now is it Finn? Annoying character who threw his toy out the pram when Clarke didn't want to be exclusive, his death was a relief to me.

A.L.I.E.: Obviously. What weirdo would've liked this bitch?

Abby Griffin: Not sure what it is, but she pisses me off.

Luna: The bitch went crazy. I mean, if she had won the conclave, did she really think the clans wouldn't just kill her? Selfish bitch, glad Octavia killed her. The only redeeming factor about Luna was when Clarke was going to take her bone marrow and Raven said "Welcome to Mount Weather" in Luna's defence.But sadly, that wasn't really Luna's character.

Illian: This dude with Octavia? Really? As much as I can't see Octavia with anyone after Lincoln, this dude just didn't really seem her butch, manly type. Sure he had a nice body, but there wasn't a spark there.

Harper MacIntyre: Again, just an irritating character really. If she wasn't dating Monty, they would've killed her off waaaaay before Praimfaya.

Yes there are other characters that are incredibly minor, but this list is already long enough and if I haven't already mentioned them, I just don't care enough about them.
