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 debuts in the series premiere.

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

With the emerging threat of the Grounders, Octavia is for the idea to go to the ocean, however, when the 100 stay, Octavia fights along with them to protect their home. She gets injured and is seen leaving with Lincoln. It is revealed that she's alive.

Early Life
Octavia was a second child, which was illegal on the Ark, meaning when she was born and her mother and brother, were forced to keep her a secret. In order to do this she was concealed from the 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 to having to be hidden away under the floor out of fear, 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. 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. Octavia is almost 17 years old as of the Unity Day mutiny.
