Indra

Indra is a recurring character who appears in the second season. She is played by cast member Adina Porter. Indra is a regal and experienced warrior for the Grounders.

Throughout the Series
In Inclement Weather, she is the first Grounder that Octavia meets after taking Nyko hostage. She threatens to kill Nyko if Indra doesn't hand over Lincoln. Octavia says that she will give Indra until dark to hand over Lincoln, and if Indra refuses she will kill Nyko. Indra ends up going to Octavia to exchange prisoners since Nyko is the Woods Clan's only Healer, and his clan can't afford to lose him. The four of them are soon attacked by Reapers, leaving only Octavia and Indra unharmed, and Nyko and Lincoln reaped into the tunnels.

In Reapercussions, Indra is seen with a few fellow Grounders leading a search party for their missing people, and Octavia offers to help fight the Reapers, but Indra orders her guard to kill her. The Grounders plan to ambush the Reapers once they come to feed on their bait. Indra decides their bait is Octavia since she escaped from the guardsmen trying to kill her earlier. Indra promises Octavia that she will be scared. Indra, along with the others, fight the Reapers. The plan is a success and the Grounders receive their kidnapped people back, all except for Lincoln. Indra allows Octavia to live since she has proved her worth, and gives her a quick nod of approval.

In Long Into an Abyss, Indra is first seen at the grounders camp just outside of Camp Jaha. She is standing beside Lexa, who is sitting in her throne. When Clarke arrives and tries to plead her case to Lexa, Indra gets frustrated with The Commander and demands that she allows her to end Clarke once and for all, as she sees her as a threat and nothing more. Eventually Lexa tells Indra to step aside, as Lexa feels she was getting out of line.

In Spacewalker, she is first seen talking with Abby about negotiating Finn's life. Indra calls her a liar and is stalling because they spotted Finn outside of Camp Jaha. Abby tries to convince her to leave him alone, but Indra walks away from the deal. Later she is seen pointing a spear at Clarke, which is trying to bypass her to get to Finn. Indra slightly pierces her with the spear, but Clarke continues forward with Lexa's consent. When Clarke kills Finn, Indra almost throws a spear at Clarke, but is told to withdraw by Lexa.

In Remember Me, she is seen standing alongside Lexa while she informs Clarke that what she did to Finn will haunt her forever. The grounders and Sky People then move forward to their camp to settle peace once and for all. On their way they stop to camp. During the night, Indra walks past Lincoln muttering "traitor" for what he has done to his people. Once they arrive at the camp she is seen at the burning of Finn. During the peace feast, Gustus appears to have been poisoned, and the grounders lock them up. On her way out, Lincoln tries to reason with her, but Indra only says that he is one of them, locking him in the feast room, so the grounders can determine who the culprit of the poisoning is.

Eventually they decide Raven Reyes was responsible, and Indra tells the Sky People that once Raven is dead, the alliance is gone, and they should run. Later she is seen amongst the people who are torturing Raven as justice. However it is revealed that Gustus was actually the one who poisoned himself to protect the commander, which in turn results in his own death.
