Lexa ~ "Tell me something, Clarke. When you plunged the knife into the heart of the boy you loved, did you not wish that it was mine?"

Lexa, as leader of the grounders, commands respect and is very powerful. However, she is clearly seen to be more reasonable and merciful than the other grounders, and more willing to trust the sky people. Lexa has shown to be the voice of reason among the chaotic nature of the grounders, she has a very neutral personality and is more of the logically gifted grounders yet to be shown. After Costia, the woman she was in love with, was killed by an enemy trying to gain information on Lexa, she decided to detach herself from people emotionally, believing love was a weakness she could not afford to have.
