@Milks26 Lexa was not bleeding red in S2 episode 15. That's blood from the MW soldiers she killed on the ridge, not her own.

And while the commander thing IS a bit confusing, it's defintely not a hornet's nest. Indra is a chief of an individual village (Ton DC). Anya was the chief of the army sent to kill the 100, she didn't have to be the leader of Trikru (she could, but it's possible she wasn't), and Lexa is the Commander. How else could have Lexa sent that bald dude (I can't remember his name) to 'revive Anya of her duties' at killing the 100 in season 1 before the battle?

IMO, the commander is probably a title they had for a very long time, all their traditions and beliefs point that way, but it was probably a bit of a ceremonial title before Lexa became commander. Gustus says "you are the coalition" to Lexa in season 2 when they are horses, and there are multiple mentions of Lexa uniting the clans, so while probably there were commanders before Lexa, the unity is a new thing.
