Tris Prior

Beatrice "Tris" Prior is the main protagonist and narrator of the Divergentseries. She is a strong-willed sixteen-year-old girl who hates showing weakness. Though Tris was born in the faction Abnegation, she eventually transferred to Dauntless and must face the fact that she is Divergent. When she arrived in her new faction, she opted for a change and decided to use Trisas a nickname for Beatrice, hoping for a fresh start.

Early Life
Beatrice was born to Andrew Prior and Natalie Prior, after their only son, Caleb Prior. Beatrice's family was originally in Abnegation, the faction that cultivates the virtue of selflessness in the future city of Chicago. As part of Abnegation, Beatrice had always known the life she would follow—one free of vanity and focused on serving others and helping the Factionless. Despite this, she never fully learned to willingly follow their faction's virtues.

She was often overshadowed by her brother's apparent selflessness and often found herself thinking about her wants. She was often scolded by her brother for selfishness. She loved the idea of selflessness, but could not act it out. All of this, to be explained later, was due to the rare trait that Abnegation were mostly born with:Divergence.
