LEXA KOM TRIKRU
Character Information (In-Character)
Name:
Lexa Kom Trikru
Age:
20
Faction/Clan
Grounder
Personality
On the surface Lexa appears cool, calm and collected and generally she is; she is a leader, the commander of her people and so she demands respect just as much as she gives. It's her that makes the tough choices so that her people do not have to - she loves her people and would do anything to protect and keep the safe. This loyalty is so strong that was willing to break already made deals and plans. Considered a visionary, she has done what no other commander has managed to do; unite the twelve grounder clans into an alliance and is willing to do the same to the Sky People. She also allowed the Ice Nation into her coalition despite their queen killing the girl she loved; Lexa is more capable of separating feelings from duty.
Though ruthless in battle, Lexa does have a side where she shows mercy and is unwilling to kill for the sins of someone else. Though she believes that blood must have blood, it must also be paid by the person themselves and not someone else who wants to take their place as a 'hero.'
It's logic, not emotion, that rule her. After the death of her ex-girlfriend Costia, Lexa's views was one that love was weakness. She could love her people but she could not be in love with another and so she closed herself off to all attachments but with the arrival of Clarke that shield has slowly started to crack, showing a more vulnerable and tender side of herself that she has locked away since the brutal death of Costia.
She is definitely someone you want on your side.

History
From the moment she was discovered as a Nightblood(a person with black blood), Lexa was taken to Polis in order to train in the ways of fighting, commanding and politics. In addition, Lexa learned both the native tongue of the grounders(trigedasleng) and english; common for warriors to learn both languages. Lexa was a quick study, eagerly taking in whatever she was taught even though the lessons themselves were gruelling. In order to further her training she was sent to be taught under the tutlege of Anya, Trikru's leader, becoming the second until the death of the commander.
As custom, Lexa fought at the Conclave, going up against the rest of her Nightblood brothers and sisters before being chosen as the commander. In honor of this, her back was tattooed along with an infinity symbol above the nape of her neck with a scar just below where a chip was inserted into her neck.
It wasn't unusual for commanders to bed men or women. It was unusual for them to get into a relationship and though Lexa never admitted Costia was her girlfriend at the time, the small touches and glances were enough for the Ice Nation queen. At the time Lexa was busy trying to form an alliance between the twelve grounder clans, knowing that they needed to work together rather than being so torn apart. The Ice Nation Queen, believing Costia to know all of her secrets, kidnapped her, tortured her and then cut off her head before sending the head to Lexa's bed.
In that moment she closed herself off, believing that love was weakness. She still let the Ice Nation into her alliance despite the murder, knowing that the clan didn't do the act, it was their Queen. From there it was all about leading her people, something she proved to be rather good at despite her young age; though really, age was nothing but a number when it came to the commander.
The arrival of Skai Kru changed everything. War began the moment they hit the ground into their territory. They already had the Mountain Men(humans who lived in the mountain after the nuclear apocalypse) and Reapers(grounders turned to violent slaves of the mountain men) to deal with, the Skai Kru were unknown and Lexa could not afford the threat. Though plenty of deaths were dealt on either side, a truce was finally successful in the form of Clarke Griffin after she spoke of being able to turn Reapers back into Grounders.
Well, almost. Lexa wanted the blood of the one who killed 18 innocent people; Finn. Blood must have blood, it was their ways and only with his death could true peace be formed. Afterward, Lexa had her people join the Sky people for an attack on Mount Weather, home of the Mountain Men, to free both the imprisoned grounders and sky people. Unfortunately, a deal struck by the Mountain Men leader meant Lexa broke off the deal, taking her now free people and retreating from the mountain, leaving the sky people to their fate.
It was a choice she partly regretted, because of her feelings for Clarke. But she was a leader and she had to do what was right for her people.
