Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Grew Up… hidden in her room for 16 years. Due to the space station Ark’s one-child policy, Octavia was considered an illegal second child, punishable by death, i.e. “floating.”
Living… on Earth. She was sent to the planet among a group of 100 juvenile delinquents who are supposed to be testing if the once-ravaged planet is once again inhabitable. Now that she is off the Ark, nothing is going to stop Octavia from living life as freely as she can. Not even her protective older brother Bellamy, who is also one of The 100.
Interests… everything. No, really – everything is fascinating to a teenage girl who has been locked away for her entire life.
Relationship Status… single and ready to mingle. Octavia may have been deprived of human contact while growing up, but flirting comes naturally to her. Boys can’t seem to resist Octavia, to the dismay of her brother.
Challenge… navigating her new world. Octavia hasn’t had many experiences so far, so she’s making up for it now. However, not everything on Earth is safe to try.
Personality… outgoing, adventurous, and spontaneous. Octavia may not be as much of a natural leader as Bellamy is, but she does possess a magnetic personality. Moreover, she seems to have more compassion for others.
Get to Know her in...
-
The 100 picks up the pieces after Earth was ravaged by nuclear war and 2,658 survivors moved to the Ark. Clarke Griffin knows that the Ark is running out of oxygen, which is the reason (though not the public one) that she and 99 other "Delinquents" have been shipped to the wasteland that is Earth. It's a toss-up as to what is more dangerous: her surroundings or her companions.

Humanity is coming home. Weeks after landing on Earth, the Hundred have managed to create a sense of order amidst their wild, chaotic surroundings. But their delicate balance comes crashing down with the arrival of new dropships from space. These new arrivals are the lucky ones-back on the Colony, the oxygen is almost gone-but after making it safely to Earth, GLASS's luck seems to be running out. CLARKE leads a rescue party to the crash site, ready to treat the wounded, but she can't stop thinking about her parents who may still be alive. Meanwhile, WELLS struggles to maintain his authority despite the presence of the Vice Chancellor and his armed guards, and BELLAMY must decide whether to face or flee the crimes he thought he'd left behind. It's time for the Hundred to come together and fight for the freedom they've found on Earth, or risk losing everything-and everyone-they love.
