Sky People

Society
Sky people is the name given to the humans that lived on the ark. They are given the name by the grounders because they lived in space, however, it is not only the grounders that know that some humans had fled Earth 97 years ago, this is shown in season 2 episode 4: Many Happy Returns when Jaha is taken care of by a family of three who eventually betray him so that they can get a horse and reach "the city of lights". The woman remarks: "there is a bounty on sky people" so it is unlikely that it was the woods clan that came up with the name. The more probable explanation is that the name was given soon after the nuclear apocalypse and has been passed down ever since.

The sky people vary in appearance and look exactly like common people today. This is due to the fact that they have been virtually unharmed from radiation due to the fact that they were in space for just under 100 years. Their appearance will not change, at least not due to radiation like the reapers, because they are essentially immune to any form of radiation poisoning much like the woods clan.

Sky people are able to metabolize high amount radiation as a result of advance genetic engineering and living in space for a prolonged period this has granted them with an extremely efficient immune system with their blood offering a cure to radiation poisoning.

The sky people are like every person, including grounders and probably reapers. They are all unique and have their own fears, goals, traits and views. Some are similar and others are distinctively different. For example Clarke is strong willed and stands up for what she believes in, she is kind and can hold her own in a fight. This is similar to Raven and Finn, amongst others, but very different to Murphy who tends to side with who ever is in charge and even goes as far as to tell the grounders where the delinquents camp is when they torture him.

The sky people like to celebrate the holiday called Unity Day in which they give thanks to the people of the 12 space stations that were still active during and after the nuclear war. These 12 stations, in an unspecified year, came together because they knew that life would be better together. Unity Day has been celebrated presumably every October 1st since this event.
