At the Choosing Ceremony, Beatrice sees her brother Caleb choose Erudite, instead of the usual Abnegation. The next day, Eric tells the trainees that initiation consists of a three-stage ranking process. She sneaks a peak at her reflection in her watch, admires the simplicity and comfort the Abnegation plain houses provide and tries to appreciate the fact that you cannot be unique in her faction as this prevents jealousy.

In her fear simulation, Tris performs very well, mastering her own fearsāincluding fear of having sex with Tobias. Four at last reveals to Tris his true identity: he is Tobias Eaton, son of abusive Abnegation council representative Marcus. He tends to spout off tirades on the Erudite and their intentions. It exposes them repeatedly to what they're afraid of, and gradually you become less afraid of it, or have a healthy level of fear, and I thought of the Dauntless then, because they're conditioning perfectly normal people to get over perfectly rational fears.
