Anonymous asked:
Does Lexa become part werewolf after she mates with Clarke? Is Evie's sister half-werewolf and half-human?

Ooooh anon. I have been considering this all night. While my gut reaction was to say yes, I’ve changed my mind after thinking about it.
Evie is not a werewolf. And while Lexa obviously has no problems with being a werewolf she doesn’t think it would be fair to make that big of a decision for her daughter. But Evie is young and this is a very big decision. After many late night talks with Clarke, they both decide that they will let Evie make that choice for herself when she is 18.
It gives her a long time to think about it. Because even though she has a safe and loving place to live, who’s to say one day she wouldn’t crave a ‘normal’ life.
While Clarke takes pride in being a werewolf and in her pack, it isn’t fair to condemn Evie to this lifestyle if its not what she wants. And because of this, Lexa decides to stay human until Evie makes her decision. She doesnt want Evie to feel like the odd one out. She doesnt want Evie to feel excluded. This way, Evie knows she is always on her side, and while the pack can go off and do wolfy things they can stay home and just spend some quiet human time together 😝

I 100% agree! Not to mention, there is sure to be a difference between being a born werewolf and being turned into a werewolf. And the second option isn't.... pleasant, to say the least. And Evie is so tiny. When they consider that option Clarke sends Lexa to talk to one of the pack members, Niylah, who was turned when she was about sixteen. And although she now loves this family and community the pack gave her, she does tell Lexa the transformation is scary and painful at first, especially when you aren't ready for it.
It's with that info and many conversations that they decide to wait until Evie is a grown-up and can make the choice herself. And like you said, makes her own decision to continue to live as a human to.
Does this mean she doesn't have the werewolf energy to play with her babies? Yes, but they have Clarke, who runs and play fights with them to their heart's content. And they have Evie, who werewolf or not, adores her baby siblings and has all the energy to run around with them.
🥺 that line in the tags about Evie always being /hers/, good lord wifey 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 there will always be a more protective side of Lexa towards Evie. Perhaps from Evie's perspective, it seems as if Lexa is less lenient with her but Lexa refuses to change that. It is not favoritism for her or favoritism for her and Clarke's bio kids, it is simply the fact from the moment she held baby Evie she was hers, Evie was Lexa's first baby, her first real love. And that will never change, no matter how many babies Lexa falls in love with as she holds them for the very first time 🥺
