Lexa AGE: 22 HEIGHT/STATURE: 5'7" (Lexa's actress is actually shorter, but they position her as being taller than Clarke … #stagemagic.) WEIGHT/BUILD: Slender and the very definition of "leanly muscular." Her build is largely focused on her speed and swift movements, rather than brute strength. GENDER: Female RELATIONSHIP STATUS: With Clarke HAIR: Light brown—it's extremely long and extremely thick. EYES: Green ORIGIN: Post-apocalyptic Virginia LANGUAGE: English, Trigedasleng
VISION
The best word to describe how Lexa carries herself is "imperious." Her eyes are focused, she ensures that her face remains calm, and she tries to give away as little as possible. Her chin remains high, and she undoubtedly looks like she's uptight and serious most of the time. She's tense and probably has an unnecessary amount of stress knots throughout her body because of how she upholds herself. Her posture is perfect, and she likely looks like she can win most blinking contests. She likes to stare at someone for a long time while she considers what she's going to say, and is aware that this is unsettling.
Clothing wise, I have a fashion inspiration post based largely on her Concordia clothing. This is largely like what she will be acquiring in future settings, as she likes dark colors and neutrals that are slim-fitting, leather, and similar things. While she still has her clothes from her world (and armor), she doesn't wear it any longer. Her layers of clothing on Hyrypian maintain the same color scheme: neutral colors and a great deal of darker stuff, which makes the climate sometimes difficult to bear. Her nightclothes are usually nightgowns with bare shoulders and a bare neck.
Weapons wise, she typically carries a small dagger on her person, but doesn't see any reason to bare it around the neck. She left behind her sword on the Station to ensure that it doesn't get lost in the chaos of a mission.
Lexa has three notable tattoos, and given the nature of the tents, it's likely that her tent mates know at least two out of three of her tattoos. The first of which is the tattoo on her back: here. There are seven dark circles for this that drift downward, but she won't tell anyone the meaning of it. (Clarke knows the meaning.) The second is on her right arm: here. My headcanon is that this is a mark signifying the clan she grew up in (Trikru). She is willing to share this. Her third tattoo is difficult to see because Lexa has a lot of hair: here.
Finally, Lexa wears makeup, but nothing like the intricate stuff you'll see in her icons. She usually has foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara on.
SOUND
First off, Lexa's voice is lighter than most people expect. Secondly, she can speak rather stiffly, but while she'll skip contractions at some point, she won't always. She also likes to punctuate a lot of statements with people's names.
Anyway, Lexa uses several modes to express herself via speech.
Fourth: Training, which has some of her delicate stuff in there.
And finally, fifth: Clarke. Clarke. Clarke. Clarke. She straight up softens her voice around Clarke and holds herself differently. This is noticeable, whether she likes it or not.
SCENT
Lexa is fairly clean, as she likes long baths after working out. She's not someone who tends to miss out on enjoying the fact that she can take a shower or bath easily. Scent-wise, I imagine she smells like … I am trying to explain it, but I feel like the best I can think of is that faint smell that all BPal perfumes have no matter what.
MIND
Lexa's mind feels as rigid as she is: she's spent all of her time as a Host trying to build up a filter of sorts to keep others from prying into her mind. Whether this is actually effective is up for debate—after all, the wall is an appearance thing, so to speak. She wants it to seem as if people cannot glean certain emotions off of her, but if someone were to pressure this wall (of sorts), they would find that it's particularly fragile. She is an Iota-type rather than a Rho-type, which means that her mental fortifications vary.
As it is, Lexa does have a lot of experience in repressing her emotions, and she does like to conceal them from others.
Her mind itself beyond that is one that is structured, and if someone presses, she is more cold than hot, like a heavily shaded forest. She is even-tempered and seems to decide upon her irritation or anger most of the time rather than approaching it naturally (but not always—and those moments are extremely apparent). Beyond that, a forest is a good way of understanding her mind, as that seems to be the default sensory to her mind in general.
Unsurprisingly, Lexa is deeply contemplative, often lost in thought. When she's meditating, she's sometimes engaging with the technology implanted in the back of her neck, but not always. It's not something that other people would be able to interact with at any point.
MISC.
Habits-wise, Lexa always works out daily while at the Station, and she likely finds some means to do push ups and sit up in the tent. She also regularly meditates, but doesn't always do this in a private space, as she likes to sometimes unsettle people with the practice.
Lexa is a bit of a bookworm. She likes reading both classical literature and histories, though she has a bias toward the latter. At the Station, she's begun reading histories on unknown civilizations so that she can understand their political strategies and where they're coming from.
Food-wise, Lexa prefers milder-tasting food. Salt and pepper are her preferred seasonings, and anything too rich can turn her stomach. She also can't handle fried food.
Finally, Lexa shares her bedding area with Clarke, but the two of them don't really cuddle as they sleep. Their relationship is something that they aren't hiding. Given that her relationship with Clarke is a huge part of who she is, it's likely that some people have picked up some surprising grief there (or uncertainty). This is because Lexa died in most versions of their world.

Anyway, Lexa uses several modes to express herself via speech.
First: Speaking Trigedasleng and then at 2:48, there's her "Commander" voice. Which has an additional impatient and brusque manner right before she kicks a dude out a window. Angry voice also goes here.
Second: Condescending, patronizing, impatient. More.
Third: Delicate but restrained.
Fourth: Training, which has some of her delicate stuff in there.
And finally, fifth: Clarke. Clarke. Clarke. Clarke. She straight up softens her voice around Clarke and holds herself differently. This is noticeable, whether she likes it or not.
