Role: Heda (Commander)
Personality:
Lexa has a stoic and rather cynical personality; she often appears aloof and impassive, with rare outbursts of anger when provoked. She believes that to be a good leader, she must not let emotions affect her judgement. Among the Grounders, her readiness to make tough choices has earned her a reputation for ruthlessness. After Costia, the woman Lexa loved, was [removed] killed by the Ice Nation in an attempt to gain information on her, she decided to detach herself from people emotionally, believing love is a weakness she cannot afford to have.
History:
Lexa grew up with the Woods Clan and began her warrior training at the age of two. She was born a Nightblood and was, as is tradition, brought to Polis as a child to be groomed as a potential successor to the Commander. She was mentored by Flamekeeper Titus and later served as Anya's Second. When she was 12, the previous Commander died and Lexa was called to attend the Conclave. In doing so, she stopped her training with Anya in order to take on the responsibilities required by her position. Lexa won the Conclave after seven other Nightbloods were killed and Luna had fled. She was given the Flame and ascended as the new Commander. At some point, Lexa began a relationship with a Grounder named Costia. The Ice Nation, led by Queen Nia, kidnapped [removed] Costia to learn Lexa's secrets. [removed] Costia's death caused Lexa to trust no one and to believe that love is weakness.
