Sometimes after having revealed to you the age of Clarke, Bellamy, and the others at the end of season 7 of The 100, it is this time on a single character that we are focusing. Clarke Griffin was played by Eliza Taylor for the duration of the series and we can no longer count the trials experienced by the young woman. Despite sometimes questionable decisions or behavior that may have been annoying, we still want to underline a rare quality in Clarke, which has made her character a heroine worthy of the name: her independence, and in particular her love of independence. Explanations.

Whether it’s Finn, Lexa, or her closest friends like Bellamy, Clarke has never been influenced in her decisions by her feelings. She has been able to move forward by prioritizing the well-being of the greatest number and protecting her people as much as possible. Lots of series heroes and heroines end up being sidetracked by the love interest, and Clarke escaped this often disappointing trope. Even though it was Madi who guided her choices in the final season, she has spent the majority of the series listening to her conscience and reason – as much as possible – which makes her a peerless leader.

It doesn’t mean that Clarke didn’t listen to her heart, just that she didn’t do just that and that she never forgot to view the situation from different points of view. Throughout the series, she has been able to put her desires and interests in the background to better guide her people, and this is a quality all the more impressive as Clarke is only a young woman at the time. where the series begins. In short, despite its flaws, the series will still have offered us a remarkable heroine and endearing characters. While waiting to know if the spin-off will take place, Alycia Debnam-Carey (Lexa) has revealed the real reason she returned in season 7 of The 100.
