10 reasons Octavia Blake is her own hero on ‘The 100’
Octavia Blake (Marie Avgeropoulos) has had a seriously rough go of it since she landed on the ground in the first episode of “The 100.” She’s been kidnapped, beaten, betrayed and dismissed, and she’s even lost the love of her life, Lincoln (Ricky Whittle), to a power-hungry mad-man.
Lately, her relationship with her big bro, Bellamy (Bob Morley), has suffered, and she’s spent most of her time separated from her mentor, Indra (Adina Porter). That kind of isolation can’t be good for her, which might be why we’ll be seeing Octavia take a pretty dark turn in Season 4. Being a professional murderer isn’t quite the future we ever envisioned for her.
Still, she somehow manages to struggle on, and while she’s not always right or good, you’re always rooting for her.
Octavia Blake is a perfect example of why a “strong” female character is actually just a “well-written” female character. To prove it, we’ve come up with the Top 10 reasons Octavia Blake kicks butt and is her own hero on “The 100.”
