A/N: This introductory part of the story is written in the format of an email thread. Because of this, you'll see what look like email addresses, except they contain no symbol or website attached because this site filters them out/doesn't allow email addresses to be posted in stories. I'm sorry if this causes any confusion! Including that part is not vital to understanding the content. In the following chapters, the story will be written in traditional Four/Tobias or Tris POV. Anyways... I hope you love it!

Subject: Incoming Dauntless Initiate Roster

Good morning President Lauren and Eathan,

I hope you're both doing well. I've provided below our official roster of initiates for this round, with the details we've gathered so far that you requested for each initiate. I'm just going to apologize upfront on Tris' behalf, the personality descriptions are less than professional. Honestly though, they're hilarious and more true than anything I could've written. If they aren't satisfactory, I invite you to take it up with her and hope she doesn't hit you too hard.

I'll get back to you later with updates and cuts as we move through the process.

Without further ado...

Chosen name (original name), faction of origin, height, hair color, Tris' observed personality descriptor.

1. Lucas, Abnegation, 6'0", light blonde, "Quiet but on the come up (?), don't sleep on him"

2. Caroline, Amity, 5'3", light brown, "Sweet on the surface but honestly too judgey for Amity"

3. Nick (Nicholas), Erudite, 6'2", brown, "Kind, outspoken, and a natural leader but cares about his image"

4. Aaron, Erudite, 6'4", dark blonde, "Fuck this kid. I already don't like him."

5. Kai, Amity, 5'7", dark brown/black, "Smart, strong, deliberate and knows what she's doing, or at least pretends."

6. Adam, Candor, 6'2", dark brown, "Charming, always smiling, strong, but COCKY ew."

7. Jack, Candor, 6'1", blonde, "Charming, always laughing, mediocre, but COCKY again."

8. Atlas, Amity, 5'9", dirty blonde, "Talks a lot but no one listens, weak but very determined, kind of sweet."

9. Camila, Abnegation, 5'5", light red/rust, "Nice, smart, and reserved. But.. stiff? Why do we even allow them?"

10. Kat (Katherine), Erudite, 5'4", brown, "Fun to be around, happy, too girly (ew), and agreeable (ew), but tough."

11. Natalie, Candor, 5'6", blonde, "Reminds me a little of Christina kinda, brave, cares about integrity."

12. Nikki/Nicole, Erudite, 5'5", blonde, "Cunning always, charismatic sometimes, other times annoying as hell. Not sure what to expect."

13. James, Erudite, 6'3", brown, "Charming, charismatic and cocky but secretly sweet and very smart. Would text girls, 'u up?' at 2 am."

14. Mia, Candor, 5'3", dark red/brown, "Quirky, fun, lots of energy, speaks her mind, nice, but doesn't take any bs. I wanna see her go off."

15. David, Erudite, 6'1", brown, "Plain, a follower, and too easily manipulated, but strong and steady."

16. Sarah, Candor, 5'8", dark brown, "Plain, strong brute force, but easily manipulated and secretly scared shitless."

And that's everyone. We have a big transfer class this year, so cuts will be heavy and competition will be strong.

Looking forward to updating you soon,

- Four

Good morning to everyone EXCEPT Four,

Contrary to what Four claims in his previous email, you'll see my descriptions are BOTH more than adequate, accurate to a T, and funny as hell, however if you're interested ( Four) you can submit a complaint to youropiniondoesntmatter and schedule a time to square up with me in the ring. I really encourage you to do this Four, I've been looking for a reason to remind you that I can beat your ass. (Love you tho.)

But really, let me know if you guys need any more info from us.

All my love,

-Tris (Or should I say Six?)

A/N: Hey guys! Thank you so much for checking out my story! These first two chapters are to set things up, but in the coming chapters will be written in typical Tris or Tobias POV. Let me know in the reviews if you like the email idea, and maybe I'll throw in one or two more email threads down the line. If you have any ideas for any of these characters, (I have a few up me sleeve!) leave a review and I will potentially incorporate them. I'm hoping to update with the first regular chapter very soon.

Until then, all my love.

Xx,

Al
