Finn Collins

Finn Collins is a major character in the first and second seasons. He is portrayed by starring cast member Thomas McDonell and debuts in the series premiere. Finn is a tracker for the 100.

Finn is part of the original 100. He was arrested for illegal spacewalking and sent to juvenile lockup.

While on Earth, Finn has been stabbed and hurt multiple times. He's killed multiple grounders and he cares deeply for his friends and will do almost anything to protect them. Finn had a brief relationship with Clarke and after they spent the night together he was reunited with his girlfriend Raven. Finn was deeply apologetic stating to Clarke that he thought he would never see Raven again. Despite this the two end up becoming friends a while later. Finn has been shown, in season 2, to be a bit less hesitant when killing grounders, he no longer makes a plan or talks about. He just does it.

Finn becomes a contributor to the militia Bellamy leads, while struggling with his feelings for Raven and Clarke. He also watches out for the others, like Octavia and Jasper.

He survives the battle with the Grounders, but is captured by Tristan. After being rescued, Finn is taken to Camp Jaha by Marcus Kane.

Physical Appearance
Finn Collins is a well built teenage boy. He has light-dark brown hair that reaches just above his chin, until in His Sister's Keeper, Raven cuts it about an inch shorter. His eyes are the color of dark brown, blending into the color of his face.

Personality
Finn is introduced as a reckless, 'bad boy;' always on the verge for a blast of adrenaline and always looking for danger. He is quite protective of Clarke and the decisions she makes, always sticking by her side and helping her out whenever she needs help. Finn is always running, looking for fun and adventure; he is playful, cunning and amusing. Later in the series, he seems to become more peaceful, avoiding killing people and trying to form a peace treaty with the Grounders.

Clarke Griffin
Finn and Clarke are good friends and have romantic feelings for each other. In Pilot, Finn flirts with Clarke throughout the trip to Mount Weather. In Earth Skills, the two search for evidence of Jasper's whereabouts. After finding him, they return him to camp. In Earth Kills, Finn, Clarke and Wells look for medicine to help Jasper out, but are forced to flee when the poisonous fog rolls in. They take cover in a buried vehicle and bond about having fun. Later on, Finn tells Clarke that Wells loves her and that she should forgive him.

In Murphy's Law, Finn and Clarke are tasked with protecting Wells' murderer, Charlotte, and take cover in a buried bunker. After watching Charlotte commit suicide, Finn and Clarke return to the buried bunker and have sex. In Twilight's Last Gleaming, the two sit under the stars and look up, seeing Raven's pod, which they believe to be a shooting star. When Finn finds Raven at the pod's wreck, he shows affection towards his girlfriend from the Ark and that upsets Clarke. Finn apologizes to Clarke for this. In Contents Under Pressure, Clarke helps Finn out with his high fever. She removes the knife and later uses an antidote made by Lincoln to cure him. Clarke hugs Finn when he awakens. Throughout the rest of the season, Finn seems to have more feelings for Clarke than he does for Raven. He holds her hand during the meeting with the Grounders in Unity Day, and catches her when she falls in I Am Become Death, knowing that she has an illness that can be fatal and is highly contagious. Raven breaks up with him because she believes he loves Clarke more than he loves her, and later on in We Are Grounders (Part 1) Finn explains that he is in love with Clarke, however she rejects him because he broke her heart.

Wells Jaha
Finn and Wells have a stable relationship. In Pilot, Murphy and Mbege attempt to fight Wells, but Finn interjects. He knocks them both down, saving Wells. In Earth Skills, Finn, Clarke and Wells work together to find Jasper, as he has been taken by the Grounders. In Earth Kills, Finn, Clarke and Wells look for medicine for Jasper after finding him and get caught by the poisonous fog. The three flee into a buried vehicle and when Finn finds whiskey, Wells says alcohol is toxic. Finn brushes it off with a sarcastic comment. Later that day, Finn tells Clarke to forgive Wells and says that Wells is a good person. In Murphy's Law, Finn seems slightly upset by Wells' death.

John Murphy
Finn dislikes Murphy as seen in Pilot when Finn knocks him down when Murphy and Mbege attack Wells. After that, they do not interact much until Murphy's Law. While Murphy is being beaten, Finn watches in shock, but is relatively unaffected. After watching Charlotte jump off a cliff, Finn witnesses Murphy's banishment from camp. Finn looks down at him with pity and drops a knife for Murphy to survive with.

Bellamy Blake
Finn and Bellamy have a neutral relationship and mutual respect for one another. However, in Twilight's Last Gleaming, Finn confronts Bellamy after he tosses Raven's radio into a river. His words result in Bellamy forming a search party for the radio. In recent episodes there seems to be some chemistry between the two. In His Sister's Keeper, Finn volunteers to help Bellamy in the search for Octavia, even sustaining a wound during a confrontation with the Grounder Lincoln. Despite the initial neutrality towards Bellamy, as of Day Trip Finn seems to be developing some jealousy towards Bellamy over his growing chemistry and friendship with Clarke.

Raven
Raven and Finn were dating before the 100 were sent down to Earth. They met when they were younger when Finn shared food with Raven because her mother would sell her rations in exchange for moonshine. Raven risked her life to come down to Earth to finally be back with Finn again by updating a 100-year-old space pod and going down to Earth with it. She finds out that Clarke and Finn had sex and is upset, but does not hate either of them for it, because Finn assumed he would never see her again. She is upset when Finn is injured at the end of His Sister's Keeper. In Day Trip, Raven sneaks into his cabin, and they sleep together. When she is injured, Finn tells her that he will always love her, and she replies that though that may be true, he still does not love her like he loves Clarke. She breaks up with him then and there.

Lincoln
Finn had been stabbed and poisoned by Lincoln in self-defense. Even when tortured, Lincoln refused to tell the Delinquents the antidote to save Finn, and only did so when Octavia risked her own life by cutting herself with the same poisoned knife used to stab Finn. Despite this and what his friends and girlfriend had said, he still forgave Lincoln for what he had done.
