Pyrrha Nikos Lives On
Full Name: Anika Vex
Name Meaning: Anika - Brilliant and graceful, Vex - Powerful
Nicknames: Vex
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Birthdate: October 18th
Rank: Initiate
Previous Faction: Erudite
Aptitude Test Result: Dauntless
Appearance: Vex is an exotic beauty with a very voluptuous build that she knows how to use to her advantage. She tends to have a very dark and dangerous look to her that draws people in because they are curious and enthralled by her. Her skin is a warm honey golden brown color with whiskey brown eyes that when hit with the light look almost golden. Her hair is a beautifully styled combination of loose flowing wavy curls, dreadlocks, with one side of her head braided into cornrows. She has many desirable features but one of the most compelling is her plump pouty lips that are beautifully sculpted and tend to be highlighted in dark shades that make them all the more alluring. She has several piercings including a septum piercing and belly piercing. Despite being very curvaceous and busty she is also incredibly fit and athletic. All of her movements hold an enthralling measure of grace and sexuality that look as though they come as natural as breathing.
Scent: Jasmin, Rose, and Hawaiian Sandlewood
Height & Weight: 5'6", 128 Lbs
Body Modifications: Multiple piercings including septum, belly, and ears. She has tattoos on her shoulder, hip, inner arm, ribcage, and sternum.
Physical Disabilities: n/a
Faceclaim: Jurnee Smollett
Personality: Vex is what one might call a victim of circumstance. She was born in erudite but showed at a young age that she was clearly destined for dauntless. Because of this those who craved power and control in Erudite took the chance to transform young Vex into a weapon only they could control and who answered to them alone. Because of this Vex has become cold and calculating though she can put on a pretty smile and play any part the men upstairs tell her to. She is cunning, manipulative, a true master of the craft of seduction and bending people to her will. She seldom shows fear but what's more important is that she shows no mercy. She was taught that mercy, compassion, empathy, were all weaknesses that she could not afford to have. She takes pleasure in the pain of others and will kiss you on the lips while gutting you alive. She was not born this way but was conditioned to be so over the years and knows no other path for herself. She is loyal to erudite and no one else though she does not show it because it might blow her cover in Dauntless. In her free time, she is the kind of person who fantasizes about new ways to torture and maim people for fun or simply to get information. She is an expert at using her body as a weapon both physically and in appearance. She is not here to make friends or find herself a new home, she is here to do the job the higher-ups in Erudite gave her, and if it means she needs to manipulate and hurt people to do that she has no problem with it.

Family:
Byron Vex - Father
Elira Vex - Mother
Dr. Lance Munro - Owner/Master
Backstory:
When Vex was a young girl her mother and father fell into some difficult situations in which they owed members of the Erudite upper class and were unable to pay. It was around this time that Vex started to show signs that she was destined for Dauntless. One of the men in power that her family owed took notice of this and offered to clear her parent's debts in exchange for her. Her parents agreed and traded Vex to the Erudite scientist in order to preserve themselves. This scientist was tasked with finding a new and better way of hunting and dealing with Divergents as well as getting those loyal to Erudite into positions of power in other factions. To him Vex was nothing more than a tool to be used to reach this goal and so for years he tore the young girl apart in order to brainwash her and suppress the parts of her mind and personality that would give her pause, mercy, hesitation, kindness, caring, the parts that made her human. As a result, Vex was turned into a perfectly compliant killing machine that was capable of obtaining information through seduction, manipulation, or torture as well as eliminating or obtaining targets (those suspected of being Divergent) when ordered to. She lives to serve her Erudite masters and has been sent to Dauntless as an initiate with the purpose of spying, relaying information, uncovering Divergent, uncovering those who threaten Erudite's plans, and following any order she is given on how to deal with them. She is also programmed to do whatever it takes to become a full member of Dauntless and rise through the ranks of power in the faction so that Erudite might have Dauntless under their control.

crime& i like 'em at nightthey make me feel alright© pasta
FULL NAME : Mercy Edward Cartwright
NAME MEANING : Mercy is a virtue name meaning "compassion" or "forbearance"; his parents were mildly religious and very serious about having good kids, so he and his brothers all have virtue names(though not all of them are quite so unfortunate). Edward is another English name meaning "prosperous guardian". And, his surname, Cartwright, means "maker of carts".
NICKNAMES : As he got older, Mercy seemed to have more distaste for his given name, so his family tried (unsuccessfully) to come up with less feminine nicknames. Emi(M.E.) became popular amongst anyone close to the family, though he would rather just be Em, as it's the least "girly" diminutive.
GENDER : Cisgendered male, he/him
AGE : Sixteen
BIRTHDATE : March 31st, Aries
RANK : Transfer Initiate
PREVIOUS FACTION : Amity
APTITUDE TEST RESULT : Dauntless
APPEARANCE : To be honest, Em is average. There's nothing too special about him when you look at him— he's almost what you'd expect of someone coming from Amity. His height holds no significance to people, being a perfectly average 5'10". Despite being a very small kid, Mercy has filled in some as he's aged with the development of lithe muscle from working in the fields. The farm work has really made a difference to his appearance as he's spent more and more time there. His skin, once borderline porcelain and sickly in color, is now a warm, peachy-tan, sprinkled with small, light freckles that become near impossible to see in the winter. His thin hands are calloused and rough and the mop of dark curls that sit haphazardly on his head have lighted a visible amount, to a very warm-toned brown. His brothers always called him a bit goofy looking for his almond-shaped eyes, his thin but rounded nose, and his large, flat lips.
SCENT : He smells vaguely of pine and a wood campfire, like he's just come in from outside.
HEIGHT & WEIGHT : 5'10"; 141 lbs.
BODY MODIFICATIONS : N/a
PHYSICAL DISABILITIES : N/a
FACECLAIM : Finn Wolfhard
PERSONALITY :
Mercy can be... A lot. He really truly didn't fit in much at Amity. Amongst a bunch of peace keepers, he was a wild and rambunctious boy. He was disciplined frequently and his parents blamed it on his age— after all, his older brother Bravery was just like him when he was young. But Bravery mellowed out and Mercy did not, which left the faction with a loud, angry kid and no idea of what to do with him. Mercy is a little bit of an tempestuous person. He's got a quick temper and has a chip on his shoulder. His family and friends could never really figure out why. He lived a nice, comfortable life with loving parents and happy siblings. But it wasn't them he held the grudge against, he was more so angry at the world. Being a misfit is hard enough, but he found himself struggling especially in Amity where he was expected to reject his true self for the sake of pleasing others as many there did. It ruined his self-esteem and turned him into an outgoing loner— someone who was loud, talkative, and extraverted, but he had learned to expect no one to be his friend and to spend plenty of time by himself.
Despite hating it there, growing up in Amity instilled him with a few important values, the most notable being his hardworking nature. He was left to work on the farms more often than not as it was a good way to harness his energy for good whilst keeping him away from trouble. So used to scrutiny, he found that doing well in the fields meant he earned some sort of praise(which was truly something he craved so deeply) and developed a significantly efficient work ethic. The same job also taught self-sufficiency. As an outcast within his faction, Mercy didn't find many people he could rely on or many who wished to engage with him, so he found himself learning how to do things on his own with little to no guidance from others. Because of his upbringing in Amity, he is also having a hard time adjusting to the idea of decisions being made for him. Although Amity usually votes almost unanimously, he's still used to being able to provide his input.
Constantly craving praise but always rebelling, Mercy has some serious internal turmoil. He's always hated the people-pleasing nature of his birth faction, but finds himself following the orders provided by his chosen one to a T. He's looking to impress, to gain that pat on the back, to make himself stand out amongst the sea of initiate faces. But, terrified to become exactly what he despises, he frequently acts out and possesses a serious attitude problem. As a repressed child, he has grown to think and act emotionally rather than logically, leading him to be open but reckless and rather blunt.
POSITIVE TRAITS : Hard working | self-sufficient | honest | competitive | outgoing | outspoken | efficient | follows orders
NEGATIVE TRAITS : Emotional | reckless | acts out | angry | insecure | low self-esteem | stubborn
HOGWARTS HOUSE : Gryffindor
MBTI TYPE : ENFJ, I think?
MORAL ALIGNMENT : True neutral, perhaps
TEMPERAMENT : Sanguine
Likes: The outdoors, summer, warm weather, being praised, heights, climbing things(trees, buildings, countertops, etc), alternative music, anything with a heavy bass line, playing bass guitar, lowkey loves the taste of cough medicine, the color brown, lizards, fighting(as a sport), the way bruised knuckles look, fishing, camping, adventures, anything that would make his mom nervous, swimming, mysteries, night time, corn
Dislikes: Religion, spring time(allergies), most pet animals, horses, being stuck inside(gets really bad cabin fever), academics, being told what to do/how to act unless he's going to be rewarded for it, spending time alone, bread, words like "bestie" & "girlie", most nouns that end in the ie/y sound, the color yellow, being bored, needles
Habits: Tugging on one of the curls at the base of his neck when he's bored | pinching his arms when nervous | wearing jeans multiple days in a row | of course he picks his nose | "hm, I think I could climb that" to ANY sloped surface | scratches off his zits instead of popping them | interrupts people(non-maliciously) | tries to impress higher-ups | always tries to rip loose strings off of his clothing(and subsequently makes the problem worse)
Fears: Horses, needles, going back to Amity, not being good enough, being restrained, old age
Hobbies: Spending time outdoors, thrill-seeking, climbing things, gardening, swimming, causing problems
Mental Disorders: Has some trauma from his time in Amity, suffers from nightmares
FAMILY :
+ Mila Cartwright - mother - alive - mild dislike
+ Davie Cartwright - father - alive - mild dislike
+ Bravery Cartwright - older brother - alive - mild dislike
+ Chance Cartwright - older brother - alive - neutral
+ Charity Cartwright - older brother - alive - neutral
+ Service Cartwright - older brother - alive - mild dislike
+ Harmony Cartwright - younger brother - alive - love
BACKSTORY : To keep this brief, as explained before Mercy was an unruly child who did not fit into Amity. His parents gave up on him & was very frequently subjected to the peace serum via forced injection in order to calm him down. It was often enough that he has been traumatized by it and has developed severe nightmares and a fear of needles as a result. He also has developed a high tolerance to the serum(and potentially other serums) because of the frequency of the consumption. He also hates bread as Amity keeps peace serum in their bread as well. Has developed a mild resentment towards his parents for allowing it to happen to him, a mild resentment towards his older brother Bravery for being an example and expectation he can never live up to, and a mild resentment towards Service for picking on him and making his situation worse. His only regret about leaving Amity was he left behind his younger brother, Harmony, who he loved dearly. He thinks about Harm often.

TURN-ONS : Sweet, caring, dark hair, gentle, shy, someone who doesn't think he's a problem

Accepted, oml I am such a fan of Mercy already! You'll find the link to the plot thread in the first post, so please join us with your bean. As for a brief rundown of the RP, right now we're in Phase Two of initiation, which focuses mostly on fear simulations but today the initiates are having a review of Phase One training, which was all physical combat. Currently just about all of the characters are fighting one another in the training arena in a free-for-all format, which ends when there's one person left standing. If you want a more detailed recap that goes character by character, you'll find it on the first post of the plot thread, but it's not necessary to read. Now that we have all the initiate spots filled, I'm going to go ahead and close the apps thread, but just know that the door is still open if you decide to make a second character! Your forms are gorgeous and I could read them all day. 
I'm so excited to start

Pyrrha Nikos Lives On
Full Name: Vernal Bloom
Name Meaning: Alder Grove, Flower
Nicknames: Bloom
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Birthdate: May 19th
Rank: Instructor
Previous Faction: Amity
Aptitude Test Result: Dauntless
Appearance: Perhaps the first thing most people notice about Bloom is her smile. It is such a genuine and kind smile, it shows care and understanding, often expressing more than words can ever say. She is not someone who is always smiling but when she does it can certainly light up a room. Her figure is slim and well-muscled, even before becoming a member of Dauntless due to the hard work she did in the fields. Her hair is a soft chocolate brown in color with some locks dyed red underneath to add a hidden flare to the look. Like her smile, her eyes are also a defining part of her features. They are a vibrant minty green color that is highlighted by thick, dark lashes. She is tall and beautiful with long legs that are as dangerous as they are distracting and though she might not be as voluptuous as other women she does certainly make up for it with other features.
Scent: white carnations and mint
Height & Weight: 5'7", 139 lbs
Body Modifications: Leg tattoo, back tattoo, arm tattoo
Physical Disabilities: n/a
Faceclaim: Meghan Ory
Personality: To smile is a gift, to be able to do so after true tragedy...well that's what some might call strength and others a coping mechanism. Bloom is someone who views it as both. To be able to smile freely was a luxury she once enjoyed but the heavy blows of a hard life have made it more and more difficult. She certainly tries to take advantage of the beautiful moments, the times that count the most, she stores those memories away for the worst days when she needs to smile and remember that life can still be good. This is a lesson she tries to pass on to others in her own subtle way. She wants those around her to be able to remember the good times, to remember how to have a bit of happiness stored away for a rainy day. She is not all sunshine and rainbows, she is very realistic and knows how the world works, but she also knows that hope can be a very powerful thing, happiness or the promise of it can drive people to do the unimaginable. The world isn't kind but people can choose to be. People always have a choice even when they don't believe they do and Bloom is one who makes each choice carefully because she knows even the smallest action can have an impact. Most would think of her as soft but she has proven herself to be anything but. When it comes down to it Bloom is nowhere near as delicate as her name, she is strong, determined, and ready to accept the consequences of every action she takes. She does not easily back down from a fight and if she does it is because she is understanding the bigger picture. She is loyal and looks out for those to who she has formed an attachment to. It is usually only when aiming to protect those she cares for that Bloom runs the risk of being more reckless than anything because she never wants to lose someone she cares about ever again. She is known for being very strategic and calculating on the battlefield which made her certainly stand out during her initiation. As an instructor, she is very patient with the initiates but also very blunt and will tell them their strengths but also their weaknesses even if they don't want to hear it. She is always open to provide private lessons if an initiate asks because doing so shows her that they have initiative and truly want the end goal they are all working towards. Her loyalty can not be bought but can be earned. If she trusts you she will follow you through thick and thin but if you break that trust you had better bet that you will likely never get it back and will live on her watch list for the rest of your days if she even lets you get that far.

Mental Disorders: PTSD
Family:
Oleander Bloom - Father - Deceased
Krest Bloom - Mother - Deceased
Scarlet Bloom - Little Sister - Deceased
Sage Bloom - Older Brother - Status Unknown
Backstory: TRIGGER WARNINGS - Amity isn't all it's cracked up to be, or at least that is the truth Bloom has learned. Growing up she was taught that her home faction was a place where peace and friendship were supposed to be bountiful but what she saw were false smiles and hidden horrors. When you are on top it is always easy to say everything is alright, that there is peace, that equality is the core of a faction; but when you are at the bottom of the faction the reality is much different. Ever since Bloom was a little girl her family existed at the bottom of the faction and people felt they could treat them however they liked. Her family worked harder and longer than others in the fields and lived in some of the worst conditions when at home. One day in the fields an accident occurred which involved Bloom's little sister Scarlet getting caught by one of the plows because the operator didn't bother to pay attention and ran the girl over while she was working. Scarlet did not die immediately but instead had a long and drawn-out death that left her family shattered since they could not get ahold of any medics who would take their calls.
Such a loss and in such a horrific manner left the family crumbling. The grief and agony that swept through them hit each of them like a semi and left them feeling broken beyond repair. Bloom's mother seemed to take the loss the hardest and shut down after that. They tried to help her, to grieve with her, to make is more bearable but it was never going to be enough. A month after Scarlet's death Bloom came home to find her mother in bed, pale and cold as ice, with an empty glass of Cicuta tea beside her. Losing her mother and her sister was a wound that Bloom never fully healed from. Her family was never the same after that, her father and she became closer than ever but her brother grew very distant from them. Years passed and they lived their lives in their new normal. It was never easy but they made it work and it surprised everyone when one of the boys from the more dignified families in Amity took an interest in Bloom. He was shy and polite and she found herself falling for him as well despite how years prior he had been one to bully her along with many other children. Bloom believed he was different now and the two began to date. It was all going well until little things grew bigger, a firm grasp became bruising, a slap on the wrist became a punch to the face. Bloom did her best to hide it all and distanced herself from her family in order to do so. One night the young man decided he would try to take their relationship further and Bloom told him no. He ignored her and tried to do so anyways but was stopped when Bloom's father appeared out of nowhere and slammed the boy off of her. The young man and her father fought while Bloom found herself paralyzed with fear and shock that only faded when she heard the sickening snap of her father's neck when the boy drove the older man back with such force that he fell from the barn loft they were in and died upon impact. Everything in Bloom seemed to shut down at that moment and her body felt like it switched to autopilot. In a flash, she was behind the boy with her hands wrapped around a gardening fork that had been laying on a workbench up in the loft. The moment the boy turned around the face her she drove the metal into his throat without hesitation. The look of horror that form on his face was one she knew she would never forget. He died before her very eyes and she crumbled to the ground a crying mess. Her brother, having heard the commotion from their house, came racing over to find the scene of horror. In an instant, the young man seemed to understand what happened and gathered his sister in order to make sure she was alright. When the bodies were found all suspicion instantly fell upon the two of them and Bloom was ready to admit her crimes but her brother swore her to secrecy and told her he had a plan. Trusting him she kept her mouth shut and her secret to herself. The next day when she arrived home from a long walk she found the house empty. She looked all over for her brother but he was nowhere to be seen and all his stuff was still in his room. Bloom waited for hours for him to come home, she informed the authorities he was missing but no one did anything. Like a ghost, her brother vanished.
Knowing the pain and cruelty that awaited her if she stayed in Amity Bloom eagerly traded factions when her time came. The memories, the horrors, the pain, there was no way she would ever be able to stay in the "peaceful" faction. Following the results of her aptitude test, she joined Dauntless and did surprisingly well during initiation. She finished as one of the top-ranking initiates and began her new life in her new home. She still works hard to find out what happened to her brother and if he is still alive.

Full Name: Dakota Samson Bishop
Name Meaning: Dakota is a Native American word that translates to "friend"; Samson is of Hebrew origin and means "sun"; Bishop is an English surname derived from the Greek word for "guardian".
Nicknames: Kota; Koda; Kody; Ko; Jack Frost (jokingly)
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Birthdate: April 29
Rank: Dauntless Initiate
Previous Faction: Abnegation
Aptitude Test Result: Dauntless
Appearance: Standing at a comfortable "6 foot nothin'," as Dakota refers to his height, Kody maintains a moderately tanned, lean body frame. His upper body (mainly being his chest and arms) has defined muscle, but not to the point of bulkiness. In regards to his face, he has a dusting of freckles across his cheeks and a noticeably crooked nose --the curve is from a punch he received a few years back. His jawline is quite sharp, and his leftmost incisor on the bottom row of his teeth is chipped harshly, caused by the same incident that broke his nose. His eyes are dark in color, but if looked at closely, are actually a deep navy blue. His platinum white hair is often a tangled yet tamed mess that isn't long enough to cover his pierced ears. However, his hair is not dyed this color; his hair lacks pigment due to his piebaldism, which causes patches of his skin and hair to lack color across his body. Besides his scalp, the base of his neck and the back of his left hand are the only exposed areas on his body that noticeably suffer from piebalism; the white patches becomes more visible whenever he tans. Kody's clothing style can be described as "comfy causal;" he can usually be found in hoodies and jeans, or t-shirts and gym shorts.
Scent: ocean spray and clean linen
Height & Weight: 6'0"; 161 lbs.
Body Modifications: Lobe piercings on both ears, helix piercing on his left; right nostril piercing on nose; spider bite lip piercings on his left; middle tongue piercing; koi fish tattoo on his left inner arm, to always keep his sister with him; and a handful of small stick-'n-poke tattoos on his outer thighs from his childhood friends practicing on him.
Physical Disabilities: piebaldism, which causes his hair and patches of his skin to lack pigment and appear white
Faceclaim: Max Krieger
Personality: Dakota’s easy-going attitude is apparent from the very moment he starts talking, and he obviously knows how to have a good time... but, it's often at the expense of his own credibility. Carefree, youthful, and adventurous, he doesn't hesitate to put his health or his trustworthiness on the line just to feel good or have fun. A king at ignoring imminent consequences, nothing stops Kody from living his life the way he wants --which frequently leads to large sums of trouble. Dakota is no doubt passionate about living his life according to his own rules --so much so that he's not afraid to show disrespect towards authority or those in power. Headstrong in nature, Kody despises the idea of being controlled or being told what to do; he often does what he wants or what he feels is right, rather than doing what he's been instructed to do. However, if Dakota believes that the instructions are important and must be followed, or if he clearly understands the reasoning behind them, then he's more likely to comply. Also, it should be said that Dakota isn't completely laid-back. When he's pushed to the edge of his limited patience, Dakota will become intense, forceful, and loud; and he can be driven to the point of violence by feeling challenged, threatened, or if he believes a loved one is in trouble. Overall, though, Kody can easily be summed up as an enthusiastic, extroverted rule-breaker with an affinity for life.
Positive Traits
- easygoing
- youthful
- energetic
- passionate
- charismatic
- adventurous
- outgoing
- extroverted
- rule-breaker
Negative Traits
- reckless
- stubborn
- short attention span
- doesn't always listen
- confrontational, at times
- disrespectful of authority and those in power
- does what he wants rather than follow directions
- his heart guides him more than his head
- feelings and emotions over rationality and logic

Fears (from greatest to least)
- claustrophobia, the fear of tight or confined spaces; he's afraid of becoming trapped to the point that he may hyperventilate.
- needles and injections.
- becoming someone that would have disappointed his sister.
- mirrors. he's anxious that he either won't see himself, or that he'll see someone entirely different.
- birds. he doesn't like being near birds because he thinks they'll become angry and peck out his eyes.

Backstory: From the moment he was born, Dakota clearly didn't belong in Abnegation. With his unique appearance, he would never be able to conform to a herd of identity-less sheep. However, this didn't stop his parents from forcing the "selfless" Abnegation lifestyle upon him. As he was growing up, they made him wear long-sleeve shirts and pants year-round to cover his skin, and they dyed his hair brown to "help him blend in." During the entirety of his childhood, his parents drilled it into his head that his skin and hair were "ugly" and should be kept hidden, simply because they weren't "normal" and drew too much attention. And he believed them. As a kid, Kody blindly followed his parents; he kept to their strict rules because they were "authority figures," and he was taught to not argue with them. Once he turned twelve, though, something finally clicked inside of his head: he started realizing just how harshly his parents were suppressing his true identity and his enjoyment of life --and he hated it. Finally, Kody had found his voice --an independent voice in the stifling hive-mind of Abnegation-- and with it, he made himself near-impossible to ignore. Dakota can't count the dirty looks he received from the public --the amount of times he was told to "shut up"-- for causing a ruckus and having fun; and, every time someone tried to silence him, Kody retaliated by being louder. He had been quiet all his life until then. Not anymore. It was his life to control, not theirs. Of course, his voice --his independence-- greatly angered his parents, and he was scolded countless times for expressing himself. Instead of correcting his behavior, though, their criticism only fueled his rebellious nature. In fact, soon after the millionth scolding, Dakota started letting his friends tattoo him in secret; it provided a creative outlet for all of their dreary lives. However, unlike his friends, who kept their disobedience a secret, Dakota wore his defiance proudly by getting piercings next; and, since no one in Abnegation would do it for him, he pierced his own ears. Obviously, this was met by harsh criticism from his parents. They fell into an argument, and it only ended when his mother snapped and ripped the rings straight from his ears. Kota bled for so long afterwards, but it didn't stop him. Nothing could anymore. Dakota kept raging against Abnegation tradition --but he wanted his sister to join him. Abigail was similar to him, in a few ways: notably, she had a unique spark --an actual identity-- within her, even though she always followed their parents' orders to a tee. To their parents, Abby was the "perfect" child --the one that didn't raise her voice or cause any trouble. Little did they know, Abby sided wholeheartedly with her brother's rebelliousness. She never criticized Dakota for being different, or for expressing himself; she constantly told him that she loved his tattoos, his piercings, his hair. Abby loved her brother, and Dakota loved her. In secret, they spoke of joining Dauntless --the faction of freedom, as they saw it. Dakota promised Abby that, when he joined, he would wait for her there until she also reached sixteen... but their plans for the future would never come. Dakota came home from school one day to a slew of people in their home, offering their condolences and comforting his grieving parents. Abby was gone. According to the reports and eyewitness accounts, Abby had saved a friend from being struck by a vehicle, only to be hit herself. She may have been Abnegation, but she died like a true Dauntless --by being brave. Kody shut himself off for days, weeks, after her funeral. For a while, he even stopped rebelling. He wore long, gray clothes; he dyed his hair again; he left his earrings at home. However, realization eventually hit him amidst the mourning: this was not what Abby would have wanted for him. As a result, his revolt came back full force; he pierced his bottom lip and tongue; he got a tattoo in his sister's memory; he even started a physical fight with his father, leaving himself with a broken nose and a cracked tooth. It probably should have hurt, but honestly, he never felt more alive, more free. His aptitude test result was obvious, and during the Choosing Ceremony, he didn't hesitate. Dauntless was his rightful home, not Abnegation. He just wished Abby could have been there to see it.
