Characters and couples research

Active source

5. Through Clarke, the canon shows that Lexa actually changes a deep position — not just toward love, but toward the very question of whether life should be "just survival." [C2][C3][C4]

The important part for writing: Lexa is not "cold." Lexa is controlled. She holds herself together because she believes that if she lets emotion lead, someone will pay for it with their life. The moment she opens up to Clarke, it is not small. It is an earthquake in her entire belief system.
