{{Needs More Tropes}}
* [[A Child Shall Lead Them]]: A common theme, especially given how young most of the main characters are.
** Clarke is the leader of the Sky People at around 17/18. Lampshaded by Abby and Kane talking about Lexa’s place as Commander.
Abby: “They’re being led by a child!”
Kane: “So are we.”
** Selecting the next Commander involves taking the Nightblood children, holding a conclave where they all battle each other, and the last one standing is the new commander. Though Lexa was in her early 20s (still young for a leader) when we meet her, she became the Commander when she was 12.
** Octavia wins the final conclave and becomes the leader of Wonkru when she’s 16/17.
** When she takes the flame and becomes the next Commander, {{Spoiler:Madi Griffin}} is only 12.
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Considering that a lot of the cast members are juvenile delinquents, this pops up in a few backstories.
** Raven’s mother was a drunk who traded Raven’s food rations for alcohol.
Line 62 ⟶ 69:
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: (John) Murphy, (Nathan) Miller, (Eric) Jackson, (Jacapo) Sinclair are almost never referred to by their first names.
* [[Last Fertile Region]]: The Shallow Valley in season 5.
* [[Love Interest Traitor]]: Lexa, ordering her army to retreat as she and Clarke are leading them into battle at Mount Weather. They do eventually reconcile, but it takes a long time.
* [[Love Triangle]]: [[Averted]] more than you’d expect from the teen drama show that it starts off as. When Clarke discovers that Finn already was in a relationship with Raven, she immediately cuts off the relationship that had just started to develop.
* [[Moral Myopia]]: A frequent issue the characters run into on this show. Almost everything is permissible if it’s done for your people or family, and the struggle to rise above that is a constant theme of the show.
Line 71 ⟶ 79:
** Season 5 jumps forward 6 years from the end of Season 4 and involves new character dynamics between existing characters from the time away, along with a battle against new antagonists, a prison ship full of miners who were put in suspended animation and remember the Earth before it was destroyed.
** Season 6 is on a moon in another solar system, where the main characters find themselves in an alien world with different nature, ruled by a theocracy built around reincarnation.
* [[Once a Season]]: Clarke has to pull a lever in a very tense situation in the season finale. Has led to fans interpreting [[Cargo Ship|an interesting relationship between her and levers.]]
* [[One Name Only]]: The Grounders. If they need a more specific name than just their given name, their clan name is included (“Lexa kom Trikru”). Madi is the one [[Averted Trope|aversion]], taking the name Madi Griffin after she’s adopted by Clarke.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Quite a few.
