Most people become factionless because they choose incorrectly or do not conform to the rules. Then these people meet other factionless people and one thing leads to another and they have a child. Now that child has to live a factionless, poor life because of the choices the parents made. That didn't happen to me but it has to many I know. No, I was giving away to a factionless man by my mother who got pregnant at 16 and didn't want to go to her new faction with me. The man, who was an ex dauntless and was kicked out, raised me and a few others. He looks after me and when he got too old, I took his role to raise others. A new law has passed and the factionless children are to be relocated to different factions and giving the chance to take the test and become a citizen of a faction of their choosing. They identify us because were not actually in the system. I choose the faction that would enable me to protect the factionless in the future, Dauntless. I know that one of the elderly leaders is due for retirement and that the person who comes out of training first would be chosen. I want to be that person to protect my people. The fighting, the training, the leaders, the fear people see, the bullying I can handle but one person sets my teeth on edge, Leader Eric Coulter. He questions me and pushes around others. From the start we have lashed out at each other. But is it fear linking us? Is it something more? Is it just we simply hate each other?
