Tris is not your typical girl in
trouble, as she is strong, smart, something else that no one is supposed to
know about, Divergent, so when she is forced to choose a faction and leave her
family behind, she choses Dauntless, because she knows that courage might be
the only thing that keeps her alive.

five chosen factions in society, which are-
Dauntless - The brave
Abnegation- The selfless
Erudite- The intelligent
Amenity- The peaceful
Candour- The honest
When 16 year old, Beatrice (Tris)
