The CW’s The 100 features a slew of tough and awesome female characters, including Commander Lexa. The leader of the Grounders is the very definition of intense. Cosplayer Rage Page, also known as Ragemore Roberts, has been cosplaying for over nine years — with that sort of experience it’s no wonder she put together this amazing Lexa costume in three days. She says she’s continually adding pieces, but she’s nailed the look of the character.
The Grounders are scrappers of sorts. They survived in a world wrecked by catastrophe and have a somewhat primitive culture. Lexa’s look reflects that and Ragemore’s photo shoot with Carlos Adama looks like it could have happened during a break from shooting.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
