Beatrice "Tris" Porter
Beatrice "Tris" Prior is the main protagonist and narrator of the Divergent trilogy of young adult / science fiction / dystopian / adventure novels written by Veronica Roth. She is the main character of both Divergent and Insurgent and shares the viewpoint character role with Tobias "Four" Eaton in Allegiant. In the film series based on the novels, she is portrayed by actress Shailene Woodley.
Beatrice "Tris" Prior is the main protagonist and narrator of the Divergent series. 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 of name to go by. She decided to use Tris as a nickname for Beatrice, hoping for a fresh start in a new faction.
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.
In the simulation, Beatrice is first made to choose between the cheese and knife, which she questions and refuses. After two more events, she wakes up to see a baffled Tori, saying her results were inconclusive, only having ruled out two factions (Amity and Candor); her choices in the simulation showed equal instances of Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite. Tori tells Beatrice that she will delete the computer records upon telling her that she is Divergent, and warns her not to tell anyone, not even her family.
