“	Finn: Raven, I love you. Raven: Not the way that I want to be loved. Not the way that you love Clarke. It's over, Finn.	”
— Raven breaks up with Finn in I Am Become Death.

Finn and Raven is the relationship between Finn Collins and Raven Reyes. They are portrayed by Thomas McDonell and Lindsey Morgan and debut in the fifth episode of Season One

Raven and Finn shared a childhood friendship that eventually became a romantic relationship. Shortly after her 18th birthday, Raven, with Finn's assistance, made an illegal spacewalk, which caused the Ark to lose a month of oxygen. Finn traded places with Raven because she was already eighteen years old and would get floated if caught. Finn, who was 17 at the time, was placed in juvenile lockup. While he was in lockup, Raven stayed faithful to him and visited him, even though his future was uncertain.

In Earth Skills, Raven learned that 100 juvenile delinquents were sent to the ground to see if Earth was survivable. When given the opportunity, Raven bargained with Abby Griffin for a ride down to Earth to be with Finn. Their relationship became damaged after Finn slept with Clarke, believing that Raven had died in Murphy's Law. Raven broke up with him later on because he didn't love her "the way she wants to be loved" in I Am Become Death.

Raven tried to protect Finn from the Grounders in Spacewalker. She told him, in her last conversation with him, that they "will always be family" and Finn agreed. She was deeply hurt and saddened by his death.
