Octavia Blake

Octavia Blake is a major character in the first and second seasons of The 100. She's portrayed by starring cast member Marie Avgeropoulos, and débuts in the series premiere.

Octavia often helped Clarke as a medical assistant and collects information on Grounders for the 100. She is part of the original 100, and was sent to juvenile lockup for being a second child.

Whilst on Earth, she has faced many challenges: trying to get to Mount Weather, helping to save the lives of many (including her brother, Bellamy), confronting problems inside and outside of the camp, and the torture of the Grounder who saved her life.

Octavia considers herself more of a Grounder than a Sky Person, opting to wear Grounder armour as well as applying Grounder war paint (the only Sky Person to do either so far). She is also the first to start speaking Trigedasleng, the Grounder language.

Early Life
Octavia was a second child, which was illegal on the Ark, meaning when she was born her mother and brother were forced to keep her a secret. In order to do this she was concealed from the Ark guards under the floorboards until the age of 16. Octavia only interacted with her mother and Bellamy throughout her childhood and thus grew very close with Bellamy: they would play and he would read her stories often. Even though she knew it was her only choice, Octavia was resentful of the fact that she had to live beneath the floors and never got to leave their room. Octavia once showed resistance out of fear to having to be hidden away under the floor. Bellamy was the one who calmed her down and convinced her to hide in time. Octavia was finally exposed a year before the Pilot when Bellamy sneaked her out of their room so she could attend the Unity Day masquerade dance, shown in His Sister's Keeper. Octavia was caught by Commander Shumway, who saw that she did not carry any form of ID. She was then arrested and kept in juvenile lockup until she is chosen as one of the 100 deemed expendable enough to send to Earth.

Personality

She shows elements of bravery and spontaneity when she is the first person to step back onto Earth and when she jumps into a river. She's also very self-confident. Octavia also seems to have a short temper, getting easily mad when people talk about how she is an illegal child. Although flirtatious, she cares deeply for the people she loves, including her brother Bellamy and her boyfriend, Lincoln. Starting in We Are Grounders (Part 2) Octavia is shown to be much more violent against the enemy and after becoming Indra's Second she more and more acts like a grounder.

Later the two work together to stop a band of reapers from escorting a group of grounders to Mount Weather.

After an alliance is formed with the Grounders and Sky People, Indra takes her grounders to train at Camp Jaha, where Octavia wishes to train with her, but Indra denies it. Octavia gets into a battle with another grounder, but ultimately loses to him. When Octavia is recovering from her battle, Indra comes up to her and says that she sees something in her. Indra then becomes her mentor, and Octavia becomes her apprentice. From that point forward Indra's influence on her made her speak Trigedasleng, and even look like a Grounder. The two have each other's backs no matter what. Octavia has even told Clarke that she looks up to Indra more than the commander.
