I consider myself in the mirror. A petite, athletic girl with grey-blue eyes. My gazes drifts to my tattoos.
One, two, three. Three ravens flying across by collarbone, away from my heart. Three ravens to remind of those I've left behind. Mom, Dad, and Caleb.
A flame surrounded by a circle of flames on one shoulder. I am Dauntless. I am strong, and I shall always protect those I love.
A hand holding onto another as if a person helping another stand on my other shoulder. I am Abnegation. I do not deny the existence of others less fortunate. Neither do I leave them to fend for themselves. I do what I can to make life better.
Dauntless, Amity, and Abnegation are not very different. In courage, there is selflessness. In selflessness, there is peacefulness. Candor and Erudite are also similar, for both involve knowledge. One focuses on knowledge of truth and laws. The other emphasizes a more material knowledge. But it is all knowledge. Everything is connected, but I still haven't yet figured how Candor and Erudite connect to Dauntless, Amity, and Abnegation.
One day I shall add another raven for another I hold very dear to my heart. Tobias. He shall be the one closet to my heart or equal to my mother. Both understand me and accept me for who I am.
And who am I? I am Tris Prior. I am Dauntless, Abnegation, and Erudite. I am brave, selfless, and a thinker. At least, I try to be. Even though I'm not cut for Candor or Amity, I value what they value: truth and peace. I am Divergent.
