The character that I find the most interesting and inspiring is Beatrice Prior. She is the main character in the Divergent Series. She lives in a world where people are divided into 5 factions, Candor for truth, Eudite for knowledge, Abnegation for selflessness, Dauntless for bravery and Amity for peace. Born into an Abnegation family, her entire life has been about others. But she is not a regular Abnegation girl, she is Divergent. On testing day, the day 16 year old's choose their faction, she finds out she is Divergent. Her test results show she is Dauntless and Abnegation. She must now make a choice, her family or her destiny. She chose destiny. This story sends you through countless twists and turns as her true personality starts to show. Never knowing what will happen next, she must face it all or die trying. During her ordeal, she transforms from a shy, remote girl to a seemingly natural leader and must save her factions in the process. During the story line, the Dauntless compound is taken over, and its members brainwashed, and her Divergence is the only thing that stands in the way of her becoming a tool for the Eudite.
I think I am like Beatrice because, I am usually shy and split between two situations. Although I can't say for sure if I am immune to brainwashing, I can at say least have a little in common with my favorite literary character.
