Divergent is the debut novel of American author Veronica Roth and is the first installment in a trilogy. It is set within a dystopian version of Chicago. The novel has been compared to similar young adult books such as The Hunger Games because of its theme and target audience. Roth has said that the idea for the series was born while she was studying in college.

In the future, the citizens of Chicago live in a society that is divided into five factions, each one meant to uphold a particular virtue of humanity: Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the peaceful), Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave) and Erudite (the intelligent). On a given day each year, all sixteen-year-olds take an aptitude test that will tell them which faction they are best suited for, after which they must decide whether to remain with their family and their home or transfer to a new faction.

Sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior was born into an Abnegation family, but selflessness has never come naturally to her like it does her older brother, Caleb. She feels lonely and constricted by her environment and feels like she doesn't belong. When the time comes for Beatrice to take her aptitude test, the results are surprising: she doesn't fit neatly into any one faction; rather, she shows equal aptitude for three -- Abnegation, Erudite and Dauntless. This makes her "Divergent" and she is warned never to share this information with anyone.

On Choosing Day, the day the sixteen-year-olds make their choice of which faction they will belong to, Beatrice makes the decision to leave her home faction and join the Dauntless while her brother Caleb chooses Erudite. She immediately leaves to join her new faction and her new home. Beatrice, who then renames herself Tris, becomes good friends with fellow transfer initiates Christina, Al and Will. Another transfer initiate, Peter, along with his cronies Molly and Drew, quickly sets out to antagonizes her as he does not believe Tris is good enough to be in Dauntless. She is also introduced to their instructor, Four, who explains that they must pass an initiation process before they are accepted as full-fledged Dauntless members. They must rank in the top ten at the end of initiation, or else they will be dismissed and become factionless.

Beatrice "Tris" Prior has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
