Personality
Anya naturally displayed a lack of trust for the Delinquents and as an experienced leader of the Grounders, she approached them with enmity. Initially, her character was one defined by stoicism, but we saw from Anya's protective response to the death of Tris, her young "second", a previously unseen compassionate, motherly dimension to her character. She was also very aggresive towards Clarke in their first meeting,as she tried to assasinate her. Anya was very determined and protective towards her tribe members and even willing to go to a war with delinquents for their deaths. Anya is also shown to have a honorable way when she accepted Clarke's offer and redeemed herself seconds before her death.
