Better image?
The current infobox image, while serviceable, can be replaced with a clearer one where the character's face and hopefully outfit is under better light. Anyone that can access a higher-quality image that meets Wikipedia's
image policy, please add it (or link it on the talk page first).

The appearances section needs significant rewriting. Per
WP:WAF, an "appearances" section must be concise and focused. The current section does not; it assumes the reader is already familiar with previous events in the show, and takes an episode-to-episode-retelling approach. Personally, I would have three sections (Season 2, Season 3, and Later seasons), and restrict them to maximum 700 words each, remembering that some people have no idea who Finn or Raven are. Putting this on hold.

Thanks for taking up the review. Before I start on that section, please let me know what exactly you think should be re-written. Precisely because it should be concise and focused, other characters and storylines that are minor or secondary to this character's story are not given more descriptive detail. And as this article is about one character, details of the show that don't pertain to the character would be irrelevant. Readers who want to learn of other events and characters may go to the show's article or other character articles. Please clarify what a re-write here should consist of, e.g, trim or add specifically what content?

Lapadite, "details of the show that don't pertain to the character would be irrelevant" is correct. To take the first paragraph, at least half does not seem relevant to the character. The only relevant sentences seem to be "Kane attempts to take his own life rather than kill Jaha, but a Grounder witness, Lexa, reveals herself to be the commander and says she believes their wish for peace is sincere. She allows Jaha to escape with a message to his camp: leave within two days, or die." I do not know who or what Finn, Clarke, Raven, or Mount Weather are or what they have to do with Lexa's appearances. "Every reasonable attempt should be made to ensure that material is presented in the most widely understandable manner possible."
Hi
Lapadite, it's still a bit waffly.
MOS:PLOT recommends that a film synopsis be between 200 and 700 words; I think this works equally well for television seasons. At the moment, the Season 2 and Season 3 sections are around 950 words each. I have
trimmed them both down substantially in one of my sandboxes here, to under 700 words in both cases.
I have sought to remove unnecessary detail, and information that does not directly relate to Lexa as an active character, while making it understandable for people who have never watched the series, like myself. I have removed the episode titles, as this is a character's biography, and the narrative arc naturally spans across multiple episodes. I have considerably shortened the later seasons, which has a lot of information of what people said or thought about Lexa, but little about her actual legacy in the series.
Apologies for the late replies. Cited tweets meet the
WP:ABOUTSELF criteria. The Fandom citation is an interview by
IGN's Eric Goldman (
