On page 162, a guy named Al is about to get a knife thrown at him. This was a punishment for not getting his knife off the floor while others were throwing them. Since he was scared of getting hit with a knife, he was told to stand in front of a target. The goal was to get him not to flinch. Tris was watching in the background and told them to stop. " 'Any idiot can stand on front of a target,' I say, ' It doesn't prove anything except that you're bullying us. Which as I recall, is a sign of of cowardice.' ", (pg 162) is what she tells them before they throw the knife. The man who told Al to stand in front of the target, Eric, then told Tris to take Al's place. She did, and she did not flinch through the 3 knifes that were thrown at her. However, one of the knifes grazed her ear. Four, the one throwing the knifes, said he did that on purpose. He says on page 165, " ' Yes I did, and you should thank me for helping you.' " This shows that Tris is willing to stand up for others.

In the book Divergent, by Veronica Roth, the main character is Beatrice " Tris " Prior. Her name is revealed on page 10, where it says, " From Abnegation: Susan Black and Beatrice Prior." In this scene, the 16 year-olds of every faction were being called to take the " Aptitude test ". Tris is blonde, as stated in page 1, in which it reads, " I sit on the stool as my mother stands behind me with the scissors, trimming. The strands fall on the floor in a dull, blonde ring." Beatrice's mother is trimming her hair in this scene. She is a dynamic character. This is because she switched factions, and in changing factions, she changed her appearance and her personality slightly. On page 87, Tris says, " Looking at myself now isn't like seeing myself for the first time, it's like seeing someone else for the first time." She just got a makeover from her friend, Christina, and is looking in the mirror at her new appearance.
