Fears
Physical Appearance
Tris has a narrow face, grayish-blue eyes that are wide and round, and a long, thin nose. When she looks at herself, she sees someone who isn't pretty and that looks like a little girl with eyes and a nose that are too big. She has not so curly blonde hair that frames her face, a long neck, and knobby-knuckled hands. Christina tells her that she has striking features; even though they are not beautiful, they are interesting. Three flying birds are tattooed on her collarbone. She also has a tattoo on her right shoulder with the symbol of her old faction, Abnegation. There is a Dauntless seal tattoo on her left shoulder.
She is short, only reaching Four's shoulder. Tris says that her body is like a twelve-year-old's, and if she was taller, could be described as willowy, not childish. In Insurgent, Tris cuts her hair so that it reaches her jawline.
Personality
Being Divergent, Tris is not by nature limited to exhibit only one of the five traits. Since an early age, Tris was shown to have acted with a blend of curiosity and selfishness, traits that obviously does not make sense as an Abnegation. Her Divergence allows her brain to act with traits from three of the five factions, authentically proven through her Aptitude Tests when it showed her being equally apt for Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite.
Her most distinguished trait appears to be bravery. Tris is extremely brave, from being the first jumper to ranking first in the initiation. Though she doesn't seem like it, Tris' bravery outranks even some of the Dauntless members as observed through her actions. She courageously climbed the ferris wheel during the first stage of initiation when even Four, the man having the least of fears reconsidered joining her. She waded through crowds of Dauntless-controlled soldiers and initiated an attempt to try stop the simulations. Her extreme bravery often leads people to think of her as someone who recklessly throw herself into danger. Four notes that Tris was becoming more of a reckless Dauntless, risking her life for situations that she cannot control when her bravery is at its height. More than once, she had also told herself that she would rather be dead than Factionless.
Tris has been shown to be selfless and quite intelligent at times that solidifies her status as Divergent. She is often scolded in Dauntless for being too selfless, and is teased mercilessly for being a Stiff, which is being from Abnegation. She is capable of risking her life to save the people she love and to willingly allow herself to make sacrifices no matter the costs. She is as well able to exhibit Erudite traits such as her unusual curiosity and above-average intelligence. Tris is able to pick the most logical response from a particular situation, something an Erudite clearly exhibits. She is told by Four that she is a bad liar, but that she is "deadly smart, brave and selfless."
She is also shown to have a temper, and although she seems unbreakable, is also sensitive, shown when Tobias insults her (to make sure the other initiates don't know that he is in a relationship with her), and she slaps him, distraught.
Also unforgiving, this part of her character might have caused Al to commit suicide by jumping into the Chasm when she strongly refused to forgive him after he helped Peter try to kill her.
Although she is quite brave, she, like anyone else, has fears. She has seven, to be particular, which is one of the lowest number of fears any Dauntless has ever gotten, next to Tobias' four fears.
- To be devoured by crows - (symbolic) powerlessness
- Drowning in a tank of water - (symbolic) weakness and inability to escape
- Drowning in an ocean - (symbolic) being out of and incapable of control
- Being burnt on a pole surrounded by friends & enemies - friends and enemies join forces against her
- Men reaching for her in her Abnegation room - (symbolic) scared of death
- Kill family or be killed by Jeanine - watching family die and being responsible for it
- Intercourse with Tobias/Four - Fear that Tobias/Four only wants her for her body

Fears
Relationships
Tris Prior (Girlfriend)
Four first meets Tris.
PerfectdisastersAdded by Perfectdisasters
In Divergent, Four first meets Tris, formerly known as Beatrice, when she is the first transfer initiate to jump off a building unknowingly into the net in the Dauntless entrance on the day of her Choosing Ceremony. He claims that even he wasn't the first jumper. When he saw her, he noticed her eyes were so stern, so insistent and said they were beautiful.
It becomes evident very quickly that Four has some sort of feelings for Tris when he walks out of the training room when Tris is unfairly paired up to fight with fellow initiate Peter who is much stronger than her.
In addition, on the night of the capture the flag game, Four accompanies Tris as she climbs up the ferris wheel so he can be sure that she is not hurt even though one of his only fears is heights. Four continually tries to help Tris through her Dauntless training, and she begins to develop feelings for him as they interact with each other. Eventually they become a couple, and Four is adamant that he will protect Tris no matter what the cost is to him. In Allegiant, the pair are still together, but argue throughout the book. Tobias learns that he isn't Divergent like Tris, which causes conflict between them. Towards the end, after everything's been resolved, Tobias returns to the compound, and along with Amar and Christina, they wondered where everyone was. When Cara approaches them, she has a troubled look on her face. Tobias asks her where Tris was, and she apologizes. Christina then asks her roughly what happened, and Cara explains that Tris went to the Weapons Lab instead of Caleb, survived the death serum, but was shot and didn't survive.
Tobias believed she was lying, that it must have been a lie, because Tris was still alive, her eyes bright and her cheeks flushed and her small body full of power and strength... He thought Tris was still alive, because she wouldn't leave him there alone, that she wouldn't go to the Weapons Lab instead of Caleb.
But then he realized that, of course, Tris would go into the Weapons Lab instead of Caleb. And all Tobias was doing, was standing still. He felt that if he just was standing still, he can stop it from being true, he can pretend that everything is all right. And as Christina hunched over, unable to support her own grief, with Cara embracing her, all Tobias did was stand still.
Evelyn Johnson-Eaton
In Insurgent, it is revealed that Evelyn is Tobias' mother, who was supposed to be dead, is in fact alive and leading the Factionless. She faked her death, putting up a fake story about her dying during childbirth. Tobias was not happy to see her because she willingly left him with Marcus. Later in Insurgent it is revealed that Evelyn left because her other choice was exile because she had an affair with another man. Tobias' feelings toward her soften when he learns this and he starts to believe her, but Tris thinks she was a liar and is using Tobias, and threatens to tell him so.
Marcus Eaton
Tobias has an extremely strained, not-so-good relationship with Abnegation leader Marcus, due to his childhood
full of beatings with Marcus' belt. Physical and emotional torment continued throughout Tobias' childhood, with Marcus repeatedly saying, "This is for your own good" for every beating. Tobias left Abnegation due to his abuse from his father, as revealed in Divergent. Tobias declined becoming a Dauntless leader due to frequent meetings with his father for the Government. Tobias' relief is evident, whilst Marcus' rage hit a new high after his son left Abnegation, tarnishing his already blemished reputation. In Insurgent, Tobias publicly humiliates Marcus at the Candor meeting room, as Tobias beats and whips Marcus in front the crowd of Dauntless, Amity, Abnegation, Candor and some Erudite, after receiving taunting comments, often being called a 'coward' after his revelation of being beaten by Marcus during Candor's Truth Serum questioning with Tris. Tobias later explains to Tris why he publicly beat Marcus, stating that he was sick of being jeered at by his fellow faction members, but most likely the truth is he wanted to be leader, which he becomes later in Insurgent.
Trivia
Four's fears are heights, confinement (claustrophobia), killing people (symbolized in his fear landscape as having to shoot a woman) and being beaten up by Marcus (his father).
Theo James

Personality
Eric is very smart, but he's so malicious that everyone tends to forget about it. He also is described by Tris as a Erudite in Dauntless clothing.
Tobias describes his method of overcoming the fear simulations as using reason and rationality, hinting that he is levelheaded under stress. Another hint is that he does not seem to show fear before his execution, and is more concerned with trying to (falsely) convince his executioners that they are just as bad as him.
Physical Appearance
Eric will be portrayed by Jai Courtney. He is eighteen years old and described as tall, with dark, greasy short cut hair and many piercings. His eyes are a dull grey. He is also described as having cold eyes that made him all the more menacing, scabbed-over knuckles, and a wicked smile.
