If there was one girl who was consistently underestimated throughout all the seasons of "The Tribe," that girl was May.May was a gadfly. She showed up here & there when she was needed.
In Season-2, she was needed to teach Lex a short lesson in humility. She was needed in Season-3 to bounce between the Chosen & the freedom fighters, leaving us mostly to guess which side she was really on. She was needed in Season-4 to help Pride cope, even though that ultimately broke her heart.
In Season-5, May was needed to make Salene think...think very, very hard...about the nature of love & hearts that speak to each other.
Unfortunately, when all was said & done, May was still the gadfly. She didn't really belong anywhere.Our KTDA gladfly of a different sort is Katara.
Katara is a medic from a tribe called The 100. As we got to know Katara, we realized that everything about her was camouflage. That extended even to her clothes and her gender.
It seemed that most people thought Katara was a guy.
They were wrong. Katara was a lovely, sensitive, lonely girl trapped in a situation that was not of her making.
And then Katara met Arianna, tribe leader of the Misfits.And then they fell in love.
And then Katara...vanished.
But the thing is, as with all gadflies, you never know when they might turn up again. Usually when they're needed.
