Clarke took control of the situation and showed loyalty to the hundred choosing to keep her people safe while killing innocent people in the process. This caused great trauma on Clarke as she never imagined herself as a murderer, but even in this situation, she remains optimistic by telling herself if she didn’t kill those innocent lives, her people might be dead.

Even though she faced difficult situations, Clarke managed to stay strong because she knew if she became weak, her people would be in danger and as a leader she could not let that happen. Therefore, I believe Clarke is a great
