Raven Reyes

Raven Reyes is a major character in the second season. She initially appears as a recurring character in the first season, debuting in Earth Skills. She is played by starring cast member Lindsey Morgan.

Raven is the primary mechanic for the 100. Raven is not part of the original 100, however, she bargains her way down to Earth with Abigail Griffin on a mission to find the 100.

Raven is the former lover of Finn Collins. Raven shares friendships with Bellamy Blake, Jasper Jordan, and Monty Green. She has uneasy relationships with Clarke Griffin, Abigail Griffin, and Octavia Blake. In Season Two she grows close to Kyle Wick.

Raven builds a radio that allows the Delinquents to make contact with the Ark. She also creates walkie-talkies, bullets, and bombs for the 100. Additionally, Raven also instructs Clarke and Jasper on how to rig the drop ship to "blast off" and she assists in establishing radio contact with Bellamy in Mount Weather to disable the Acid Fog.

Raven has been tortured by Grounders (accused of poisoning Lexa) and Mountain Men (bone marrow extraction). At the end of Season Two she is in Camp Jaha, recovering from the latter.

Early life
Raven grew up living on Mecha Station. Raven's mother would often exchange Raven's rations for moonshine, leaving Raven dependent on Finn Collins, the boy next door, who shared his rations with her and remembered her birthday. Throughout the years the two grew closer and at some point, they started a romantic relationship.

Around Raven's 18th birthday, Finn presented her with a handmade metal raven trinket on a chain for good luck on her Zero-G exam. She passed the test with the first perfect score since they had been giving it, however, she failed the physical due to a heart murmur. Later, Finn tells her he has another birthday present for her. He borrowed a spacesuit from the Maintenance Bay and has found a way to get her the spacewalk she had always dreamed of. After Raven's illegal spacewalk while she was getting undressed, an alarm sounded an "outer door breach." Raven tried to figure out where the door breach was but ended up having Finn use the manual override to get her back into the Ark. In doing so, the breach lost three months of oxygen. Finn then instructed Raven to take off the spacesuit and he wore it instead because Raven was over 18 and would have been floated whereas Finn was still underage.

Later, Sinclair overruled Raven's health rejection for Zero-G Mechanic and she went on to become the youngest Zero-G Mechanic in 52 years.
