Character Development

  I am about half way done with my book now but the main character Tris has already changed a lot throughout the book.  At the beginning of the book, Beatrice Prior was a normal 16 year old girl part of the Abnegation faction.  After her aptitude test showed she was divergent and after she chose Dauntless at the choosing ceremony, Tris has undergone many changes.  The first change is that before the choosing ceremony Tris really didn't know where she belonged and after all her training and time spent with the Dauntless, she finally found out that she loved the Dauntless.  Tris feels more free and has the ability to do more things than she could in the Abnegation Faction.

 
  The second change Tris has gone through is that she is now a better fighter and she is much tougher now.  At the beginning of initiation Tris was a terrible fighter and didn't want to hurt anyone, but after other initiates bullied her Tris became tough and when she fought she fought without mercy.  When she was fighting Molly (one of the bullies), Tris beat her to the ground and kept kicking her until Four the trainer pulled her away.  The third change is that Tris is now becoming one of the Dauntless.  At the beginning of the book, Tris was a selfless Abnegation girl but after doing things like jumping from a moving train to zip lining off of the top of the highest building in the city has transformed her and made her brave.  Tris feels like she can relate and fit in with other Dauntless members and really trusts them.

This is the main character Tris.
