Beatrice (Tris) Prior.
Beatrice is the main character in Divergent. She was born into the Abnegation faction. Later, she chooses to leave her family to join the Dauntless faction. As a Dauntless, she goes by the name “Tris.” Although Tris was born Abnegation and later joined Dauntless, she is actually a rare faction called Divergent. While people usually show characteristics that belong to only one faction, Tris’ Divergence allows her to demonstrate characteristics of multiple factions. Her uniqueness puts her in an interesting spot, since she initially must keep her Divergence a secret. As she progresses in the novel, she realizes her own strength as well as the mysteries behind being Divergent.
Caleb Prior. 
Caleb is Beatrice’s brother. During the Choosing Ceremony, he was expected to stay with the Abnegations, but he surprisingly chooses to become Erudite. As an Erudite initiate, he uncovers some interesting tidbits of information that are truly startling.

Albert (Al).
Albert was another Dauntless initiate that Beatrice befriended during their training. Their friendship was short lived, since he eventually sided with Beatrice’s rivals during the initiation process. Originally from Candor, it is apparent from the start that Al’s character was far from Dauntless. He was simply too kind-hearted to endure the Dauntless training and lifestyle.
Tori.
Tori is a member of the Dauntless who aids Beatrice several times during the novel. She first helps her when she gives Beatrice the aptitude test which will determine which faction Beatrice will be best suited for. The aptitude test reveals that Beatrice is Divergent. Tori is kind and wise enough to know what Divergence means, so she hides the real results from those in charge. Later, at the Dauntless compound, Beatrice visits Tori at the tattoo shop for tattoos and for answers behind the secrets of Divergence.
Peter.

Drew.
Drew is a Dauntless initiate who has joined Peter’s clique. He follows in line with Peter’s misdoings. He seems to be more of a hand of Peter than anything else.

Marcus Eaton.
Marcus is an Abnegation council member, a friend to Andrew Prior, and Tobias’ father. He was a terrible father and Tobias still carries much baggage because of him. Tris has her doubts on how selfless of an Abnegation Marcus really is.
Jeannine Matthews.
Jeannine is the person in charge of the Erudite. She is in thirst for power, and so she writes publicly of the corruption behind the Abnegation leadership. Later, she goes as far as to creating a serum that is able to control the powerful Dauntless soldiers. With an army under her control, she is able to declare war on the Abnegation.
