Anya

**Anya** is a major character in the first, second and third seasons of *The Skaion Walks Tonight*. She is portrayed by Dichen Lachman and debuts in the story premiere. Anya is an original inhabitant of Earth. She has been living with her clan in the area where the 100 landed since before the events of the story premiere.

She is the adoptive mother of Kent Griffin. In 2132, she and Indra come across a pod that landed in Trikru lands. Inside the pod, they discover a baby boy and Anya picks him up after she hands Indra a piece of paper that has the infant's information. Baby Kent falls asleep in Anya's arms and she takes him back to her home village where she raises him.

She was the leader of a unit in the Woods Clan. She was once the mentor of Grounder Commander, Lexa.

In Season Two, Anya stands with the Sky People and helps fight against Mount Weather. She also dislikes Abigail Griffin for giving her up her child and essentially killing Kent's father. By the finale, Anya's feelings towards Abby seem to have calmed. She also gives Kent and Raven her blessing to begin to dating.

## Early Life

Anya was born on Earth. Not much is known about her life prior to the arrival of the Sky People, except that she found and raised Kent while being a Trikru warrior.

At some point, she became a Trikru general. Anya was also Lexa's mentor before Lexa became the Commander.

She spent a lot of time helping her best friend and fellow warrior, Indra, search for her husband after he went missing.

It was said by Kent to his sister, Clarke, that Anya once castrated a Trikru warrior for looking at him (Kent) perversely. Anya added that if she didn't then Kent would've lost his innocence and the trauma would have greatly affected him, and that if Lexa had been there then the warrior would have been killed.

Sometimes Anya gave Kent several licks from a hickory switch when he misbehaved.

## Physical Appearance

Anya has braided dark blonde hair with black roots. She has hazel, almond-shaped eyes, and wore black war paint on her face. She also wore black leather clothes.

## Notes and Trivia

* Anya is the first female Grounder to appear in the story.
* She is also the first Grounder to be in a position of authority in the story.
* Her name in Hungarian means "mother."
* Lexa was Anya's second before she became the Commander.
* The coat color of Anya's horse was changed by the author. Instead of brown and white, Anya's horse is solid black except for the mane and tail which are a burgundy color (color mutation due to the radiation on Earth).
	+ Matt did this because he wanted to incorporate it with Kent's love of books. He used it to reference *Black Beauty* (which Kent indirectly mentions in 1x08), by having Kent mention that he wanted to name Anya's horse "Jus Meiznes" (Blood Beauty in Trigedasleng) but Anya didn't like it. So Kent settled for Crimson.
* Anya kept the possibility of Kent being the Skaion a secret from him throughout his entire childhood.
	+ She has also told him to ignore the whispers of him being a "sky saviour" or "the skaion". This is probably to give him a normal childhood, however, during that time she was unaware that Kent was having visions through his dreams.
