Wow, I have to say TotallyTinkerbell that I am impressed! You really thought a lot into this, now that is a backstory novel I would gladly read, they should have put you in the writers room. And that is very cool that Lexa would be Becca's great great grandchild!

It actually makes sense when you put it that way that Pramheda only came into the equation after death, in the painting of Becca on the wall, you could not see her face which suggested her identity was a mystery and the fact nobody recognised Alie. I don't know at which point they could have dropped their surnames or why exactly but who knows.

Would it be fair to say though, if we say hypothetically that Becca herself had roughly 3 children as you suggest, the children would have had to be grown adults with children by the time Becca died? In this way in the fight to the death to be crowned Heda, only one would survive but the others still had children that lived? It is the only way to possibly explain how there are still so many nightbloods by the time it reaches Lexa's generation.

If that was the case though, it would be unlikely that that Commander is still alive because otherwise they would still be Heda. The new Heda is only crowned when the last one is dead. And it would be unlikely the the second Heda's siblings lived unless Becca gave the title to her first born automatically. But then how and when did it come about that nightbloods fight to the death for the throne?

If only one of Becca's children took the throne, you would expect that it would just be given to the eldest in the next generation and so on and so on.

But what we have here in Lexa's generation is essentially cousins killing cousins for the title of Heda because it is expected of them and you have to wonder how it made such a drastic jump.....

Ps, I hope the nightbloods don't date eachother then because that would technically be incest despite the fact they might not know eachother!
