Abigail Griffin

Abigail “Abby” Griffin  is a major character in the first and second season. She is portrayed by starring cast member Paige Turco and debuts in the season premiere. Abby is the Chief Medical Officer and a former Council woman on the Ark. She is currently Chancellor of Camp Jaha, but struggles with leadership due to the rebellious actions of her daughter, Clarke.

Abby was on the council when they chose to send the 100 to the ground. She had been monitoring them throughout Season One. Her doubts about the project grew, but returned when she saw the kids were alive. She makes some risky decisions, but in the end she is always righteous in what she does and she is willing to face the consequences of her actions.

Early life
Not much is known about Abby's early life, only that she was born on the Ark and at some point married Jake Griffin and gave birth to her daughter, Clarke. It is also known that she was made Chief Medical Officer and a member of the council on the Ark prior to the Pilot.

Before the series started her husband discovered an error with oxygen on the Ark and, knowing that it meant that life would stop being sustainable on the Ark, thought the people had a right to know. Abby disagreed with this and so did the Chancellor, Thelonious Jaha. Jake was going to go public with the system fault anyway, something that only Abigail, Clarke, and Wells Jaha (Clarke's best friend whom she had told in confidence), knew about. Abby accidentally condemned Jake before he was able to release the video recording that he made because she told Jaha, hoping he would convince Jake not to go through with it. Instead, Jaha arrested Jake and had him floated immediately. After watching her father being sucked into space, Clarke was put in juvenile lock-up, also known as the Sky Box, because of her knowledge of the error. Abby allowed Clarke to think it was Wells who had turned her father in, causing problems in both relationships. Abby was part of the organization and running of the program that sent 100 delinquents from the Sky Box, including Clarke, down to Earth, although is was revealed in the Pilot that Abby did not have the final word about who was sent down to the ground, and it was Kane who made the final decision to include Clarke in the 100.

Jake Griffin
Abby loved her husband Jake dearly. When Jake announced that he wanted to go public about the fact The Ark was dying, Abby tries to convince him not to because she knows he will be floated. She turns to their friend Jaha in the hope that he will talk him out of it, but her telling Jaha of her husband's plans leads to Jake's execution. This devastates both Abby and also her daughter Clarke Griffin. However, while Abby knows the truth about Jake's death and blames herself, Clarke thinks it was the fault of Wells Jaha, who she told Jake's plan to in confidence. When Wells tells Clarke the truth, she is angry at her mother, but when the Exodus ship Clarke thinks Abby was on is crashed by Mount Weather, Clarke is distraught. When the two reunite in Season Two, Episode Five, Human Trials, Clarke shows no anger towards her mother because she is so relieved to find Abby is alive. While Clarke may not have completely forgiven Abby, their relationship is mostly healed.
