Appearance
Nadia has always been an attractive woman, although I'm sure she would be far prettier if she'd lose that nasty scowl and smile a bit more. But alas, she is not the sort to change her ways, especially not in the name of 'pretty'. She is quite tall, about five foot seven, with a slender and lean built that possesses alarming strength, speed and agility, particularly the two latter, as she focuses less on brute strength in combat and more on skill, as well as using both her opponents weaknesses and their strengths against them. Her skin is smooth and naturally tanned, and her complexion would be near flawless, if not for the litter of scars, cuts and bruises that adorn her body. One of her most notable scars is a thin, inch long line on her upper right arm, which she gained in her initiation days, when she was made to stand in front of the knife throwing targets, and had another initiate (a boy from Erudite), throw at her. The pressure got to him, and his knife missed its mark. Both of them survived the initiation, and he is one of Nadia's (very) few friends. Her hair is long and dark, and falls quite smoothly and straightly unless mussed up after a round of exercise in one form or another. She tends to wear it tied back, out of the way. Her eyes are a warm, chocolate-y shade of brown, encircled by dark lashes, and her teeth are rather straight and unbroken, which is quite the rarity amongst Dauntless. As for tattoos, she has three. A flock of birds cross over her back, a arrow marks her right forearm and finally, the Dauntless symbol on her left ankle.

Personality
Nadia isn't the easiest person to get along with. She's harsh, blunt, and stubborn, not to mention extremely skilled in the art of beating up people that piss her off. She is quite introverted, not one to express her inner emotions, and keeps her personal interests and thoughts to herself. She is strong-willed and stubborn, unwilling to ever back down from a fight, no matter the opponent, if said opponent is, in Nadia's mind, deserving, and she is never one to soften her words as to save the emotions of someone else. She will tell things like they are, no matter how unpleasant or painful said things may be to here. This all being said, she occasionally does in fact display moments of compassion, particularly to those she believes 'worthy Dauntless'. She is also loyal to a fault, and would never dream of betraying anyone, as she personally finds little to nothing more loathsome an act. She is, like most Dauntless, extremely brave, as well as sharp-minded, able to snark, sass and verbally slice whomever she desires, as well as think tactically and intelligently when push comes to shove. In fact, some Dauntless sometimes joke that she would be a good Erudite 'if she weren't so damn vicious'. Needless to say, Nadia doesn't find the joke all that amusing.

History:
Alyssa Pierce, Nadia's mother, had previously been an Amity, before transferring to Dauntless. Her father, however, was always a Dauntless, born from a long line of esteemed officers, warriors and fighters. They met in the initiations.. WiP

As the ceremony ended everyone started filing out. "If we don't hurry, we'll miss the train." she heard one of the Dauntless born say, she picked up her pace like the others but stopped before going to the exit turning around to look at where her family had been sitting, big mistake, Jaslyn just stood there holding Damon's hand as her Mother urged the two younger kids to move ahead, her stomach twisted. "Initiate, move." Brielle didn't know who said it but she turned her head and looked in the general direction of the voice. "Coming." She replied and turned back to look at Jaslyn mouthing I love you too her, then she had to run.

Climbing the beams to the train tracks had been a challenge but Brielle had made it to the platform with little error, it was the train, the train that she now sat on that had been her problem, it wasn't that she wasn't fast enough to catch it, it was that she was worried if her hand slipped she would fall and most likely be crushed and killed, she was hesitant about it and made to her mind to jump in right before the platform ended. Brielle sat beside Elijah, it was nice to be around a familiar person, a person she knew would at least tolerate her, it seemed this car had most of the initiates in it, Brielle opted out of making conversation with any of them though.

"I suggest you all get up." A lady in black said. "We are going to be jumping, if you make it well, your fine." Brielle stood up shifting slightly at the women's words. "And if we don't make it?" The women just smirked at Brielle. "Your name?" Brielle just looked at her. "Brielle." Brielle said it softer than she had asked the question as everyone had turned their attention to her. "Well, Brielle, if you don't make it onto the roof, you'll hit the cement bellow." The lady circled around her once. "You look smart Brielle, but here's your first lesson on being Dauntless, don't ask to many questions, you'll get yourself into trouble." Then everyone started jumping as if it were on cue. Brielle looked out the car door watching the others jump before she went to the back of the car and ran for it, she rolled when she hit the roof trying to lesson the impact but it still hurt, she was still going to have bruises and she knew it.

"I wonder what crazy thing their going to make us do next." Brielle whispered looking at Elijah as they joined the crowd by the far edge of the roof, everyone seemed to be whispering amongst themselves, as a Dauntless man got up standing on the ledge, he explained how this was the only way into Dauntless, that they had to jump, Brielle rolled her eyes this time, it was going to be a long line of crazy stunts her body was telling her not to do and her brain was telling her to do, for the thrill of it.
"I'll jump first." Brielle said before even thinking about it and since no one else was speaking up to jump first she was growing rather impatient.

Brielle moved through the crowd as she had been stuck in the middle of all the initiates Dauntless born or not, she got up onto the ledge looking down, she looked at the man who seemed to just urge her to go on. "You wouldn't kill us first day." She said to him and then jumped, her breath caught in her throat as she fell and the net that caught her at the bottom basically knocked the wind out of her, she climbed out when a women pulled the net down. "Transfer." the lady said when Brielle got onto the ground. "Your Trainers are Trent and James, you'll be working more with Trent, James usually floats between Transfers and Dauntless born." Brielle looked at Trent from what she could see of him, he seemed...Dauntless, handsome though, looked to have blue eyes brown hair, the Women caught Brielle staring at Trent and laughed. "Yeah, he's something to look at." Brielle looked at the lady and then looked away from Trent blushing slightly. "Whats your name? You can change it if you want." She said looking at Brielle. "Um...Brielle...my friends call me Bri." The lady smiled. "First Jumper Brielle." she announced so everyone in the room could hear it. "Trent is doing the tour of Dauntless, stand by him while we wait for the rest of the pansy cakes to come down from that roof."

It wasn't long after she said that, that another initiate jumped down, Brielle only knew someone had jumped because she could hear them screaming, she moved over to who the lady had pointed out as their trainers and stood there awkwardly not wanting to look at Trent, she didn't know exactly why she was being so shy, but she was so she just stayed quiet and kept to herself as the initiates jumped down one by one.

Elijah smiled at Brielle when she sat down next to him on the train cart, she didn't seem very interested in talking to anyone so he just left her be. "I suggest you all get up." A lady from dauntless said. "We are going to be jumping, if you make it well, your fine." Elijah stood up shortly after Brielle and just looked at the lady without really saying anything. "And if we don't make it?" The question made the cart go silent and Elijah shifted slightly where he stood, this wasn't Erudite you couldn't question everything you were told, The women asked for Brielle's name and she gave it to her, just softly like she was scared that if she said it to loud something would happen, maybe something would. "Well, Brielle, if you don't make it onto the roof, you'll hit the cement bellow." Elijah almost cringed when the lady circled around Brielle, sort of like a cat circling a mouse. "You look smart Brielle, but here's your first lesson on being Dauntless, don't ask to many questions, you'll get yourself into trouble." Elijah knew that that was a warning to all of them, not just to Brielle, don't ask to many questions, he made a mental not of it and then pretended that didn't happen.

Then they were all jumping from the train, like it was a daily thing and it probably was, Elijah took a run for it and jumped just making it onto the roof he slid across the rocks a little ways and then stopped standing up, he came back up beside Brielle who seemed to just gently smile at him. "I wonder what crazy thing their going to make us do next." Elijah laughed slightly, but his laughter stopped when the man stood up and started talking about how the only way into Dauntless was to jump off the roof. "You spoke to soon." Elijah whispered to Brielle, not paying attention to the man who was basically saying your going to jump and maybe something will catch you maybe something wont. The thing that shocked him most was when Brielle volunteered to jump first, she said something to the man Elijah couldn't make out, and then she jumped, she didn't even scream, she was just gone.

Elijah sure as hell wasn't jumping next, he didn't know if Brielle was okay or not, but had a suspicion there was something down there to catch them, they wouldn't kill their initiates, that was the logic of it. He let a few people jump, and then a few more, despite the fact he knew he wasn't going to die, when Elijah got up there, he sure felt like he was going to die. He jumped and he screamed, but his screaming stopped as soon as he hit the net, he was sixth jumper, got the low down on how Trent and James were their trainers and how he would be spending more time with Trent, he walked over to join the small group of transfers that had collected there, Brielle looked the most uncomfortable out of all of them and he wondered why, but decided not to ask, he just glanced at Trent and almost shivered, he looked like someone you didn't want to get into a fight with.

Logan smiled at his friends as they all began running, following them as he assumed he was supposed to do. He didn't look back at his parents, already saying goodbye with his eyes. He would see them again, of course he would, at things like parents day at the faction. It wasn't like he was saying goodbye forever or anything. He followed his friends without difficulty, keeping up to their fast pace, they were towards the front of the pack, he almost ran into another transfer who had stopped to stare at her family, but managed to keep from hitting her too hard to knock her over. "Sorry, come on, you know what's coming up soon, don't you?" Logan called to her as he kept going, pumping his arms and legs to speed back up and catch his friends. He had seen the catching of the train plenty of times to pick up what they were going to do first.

Logan climbed the beams to the tracks, savoring the feeling of finally climbing something other than trees. It was nice, and the height helped cheer him up from the feelings of sorrow from the loss of being around his family so often. He had followed his dauntless friends' lead, ignoring their calls saying he looks like a transfer the way he moves. Upon catching the train, he knocked the shoulder of one friend, the one who had said he looked like a transfer. "I may look like a transfer, but at least I've had a girlfriend before," He said jokingly with a smile. He laughed, good naturedly as did a few others.

Logan stood by the door, leaning out slightly to enjoy the breeze. He savored the feeling of it in his hair. He heard someone talking about the jumping finally, but it wasn't a surprise for Logan. He prepped himself, moving to the back of the train car so he could watch the other, more experienced Dauntless jump first before doing it himself. He heard someone asking questions and announcing her name and glanced back to see the girl he had almost knocked over. He marveled at her ability to make it obvious she was one to watch when it came to being the teacher and all. She seemed to be the defiant one out of the initiates. Logan ignored the morbidness of the idea of hitting the concrete, stories below that is.

As the roof began to approach, Logan braced himself, and when the time was right and everyone else who knew what they were doing jumped, Logan jumped as well. Logan landed somewhat on his feet, stumbling a few feet but jogging to brush it off. He smiled at his friends as they knocked him a bit, saying something about being the only red one in their group of black. Logan smiled and shrugged, walking to join the those at the edge of the roof. Logan payed attention to the guy that spoke, glancing over the edge and smiling at the height. He was somewhere he knew. However, when he said that they were jumping, Logan felt his heart flutter. He could do it, he could make himself do it. He looked up, and began walking forward through the crowd, at the very front when someone, the girl from before, called out she wanted to go first. Logan nearly groaned, he was ready, he was gonna psych himself out if he didn't go right away, but he hadn't spoken up, instead, just acting.

Logan watched, expecting her to get up on the ledge and go, instead, she didn't. She paused causing Logan to want to call for her to hurry, but knowing that would be rude and not nice at all. The guy on the ledge looked up, seeing Logan and giving him a knowing smile. "Boy, this is Dauntless, if you want something, you take it, don't give it to someone else so they stay happy. You're not Amity anymore. If you're gonna jump, go," The guy said causing Logan to nod his head in the annoying idea that he hadn't been quick enough. He moved forward, thankful of the guys behind him clapping him on the back and encouraging him.

Logan climbed up, studied the hole he was to jump through, took a deep breath, and went. As he went, he heard a scream from one of the people below causing Logan to freak. He flailed slightly, trying to turn to land on his back so whatever he hit, be it concrete or water, would hit his back. He did in fact hit something, only it was a net. He bounced once, twice, then settled, and before he knew it, was being pulled to the side and dumped on the floor, being held up by one of his best friends' older sister who gave him a wink and a nod.

He was given multiple pats on the back as his friends' family and random people recognized him, congratulating him for his feat. He moved forward, smiling at the girl who grabbed his arm and managed to tell him he was to go stand by some guy. The roar of the crowd was so loud to hear over, Logan just barely caught it. He then moved on to stand by the guy, giving him a nod. "You're Trent," Logan said with a matter of fact tone, "I can tell because your sister was a year older than me and we had a few classes. It's nice to meet you man," Logan stated as he offered his hand to Trent, then moved to stand by the first jumper who had just barely beaten him.

"So, Brielle, take this in the nicest way possible, why'd you jump first? It appeared like, you did it on instinct, before thinking it through. Am I right?" Logan asked, his curiosity very clear and his tone making it clear he was not trying to be rude or mean in anyway. He was honestly curious why an Erudite he was trained to always think things through, was the first to jump when it seemed to happen at an instant.

Rosalyn stood in the cart talking to a few of the transfers who were standing around her, she heard the lady tell them to get up because they were going to have to jump, she also heard the girl who had asked the question about what would happen if they didn’t make the jump, Rosalyn just laughed. “Smart ass” she whispered to the people around her and they all chuckled.

Rosalyn backed up getting ready to jump, as soon as the roof approached she ran and jumped rolling as if she had been doing it all of her life, she regrouped with the people she had been talking to as they gathered at the other edge of the roof listening to the guy explain how they were all going to jump, how something might catch them, something might now. Rosalyn laughed along with the Dauntless born but even her heart sped up at the thought of just plummeting towards the ground not knowing if something was going to catch you or if something would.

She almost growled seeing Brielle move up to the ledge, she was convinced the Erudite girl would back out, but she just looked at the man said something and jumped, why the hell would an Erudite jump first? Their trained to be logical, and safe, and not illogical and reckless, it was like Brielle acted on nothing but instinct, like she had been doing it her whole life.

Rosalyn jumped after a boy she was sure was named Logan, she screamed a little bit at first but pulled herself together right before she hit the net, then she was on the ground again. She Went over to the group she saw Logan talking to one of the Trainers who she knew was Trent, the Erudite boy, Elijah, was near Brielle but not to close, Logan was a social butterfly clearly, seemed rather outgoing but laid back at the same time, and then there was Brielle, who was standing closest to Trent, but again not to close, she seemed happy to keep to herself, Logan ruined that for her though. "So, Brielle, take this in the nicest way possible, why'd you jump first? It appeared like, you did it on instinct, before thinking it through. Am I right?"

Rosalyn laughed a little before coming out of the crowd, in her eyes Brielle was the biggest threat to her at the moment, the seemingly shy, Erudite Smart ass seemed to know enough about Dauntless to successfully be one. “I’d kinda like to know why you jumped first as well, I thought Erudite’s were supposed to be smart, you obviously were skipped when it came to that gene.” Rosalyn taunted, a few of the others snickered behind her, it wasn’t smart making enemies so early on, but Brielle didn’t look like she was capable of much other than listing of useless facts.

"So, Brielle, take this in the nicest way possible, why'd you jump first? It appeared like, you did it on instinct, before thinking it through. Am I right?"
Brielle looked at Logan, but someone else spoke up, of course it had to be Rosalyn. “I’d kinda like to know why you jumped first as well, I thought Erudite’s were supposed to be smart, you obviously were skipped when it came to that gene.”

Brielle sighed, she wanted to ignore the comment from Rosalyn but didn’t want to be made to look like an easy target. “I can guarantee I’m at least ten times smarter than you.” Brielle almost snapped at her but kept it more at a neutral tone which was usually a better intimidation factor. “If you think for a second that I am someone you are going to push around Rosalyn, you are the one who lacks intelligence, You don’t know me and you don’t know what I’m capable of. If you were smart, you wouldn’t provoke someone you know nothing about, you might do it to someone who is ill tempered and you will end up being beaten bloody.” Brielle looked Rosalyn right in the eyes, she was not a fan of making enemies but this was Dauntless, if you appeared weak you would immediately be a target.

“If you really want to know why i jumped first, I knew it was their first assessment on how we respond to a possibly dangerous situation, they were simply putting us in a place they knew would induce fear to see who would freeze, who would act, who would analyze, and who would wait until they knew it was safe. They wouldn’t kill their initiates therefore there had to be something to stop us from hitting the ground, so I jumped.” Brielle didn’t raise her voice at all, she remained calm the entire time, she had lowered her voice slightly to make it clear to Rosalyn and anyone else who thought Brielle was just a book worm who made the wrong choice, she had been picked on and beaten enough by Mathias she left to get away from it not go back into it. “You’d be surprised how quickly I can think about a situation. The faster you can analyze a situation the faster you can make the smartest call.” She added, not necessarily speaking about the roof but more the situation Logan had put her in, they would all think she was referring to the roof. Brielle looked Logan in the eyes before looking away from him, it was simply nerve racking knowing what she was and that someone could find out or already know.

Brielle took a breath looking down at the floor, she hated the fact that now literally everyone was staring at her.

Trent watched the initiates jump, hands behind his back and slowly pile up to him as instructed. So far obedience wasn’t a problem which was good news.
He nodded to the guy whom wore the red and gold-yellow signature Amity colors, shaking his hand going to comment on how Tracey was a piece of work, but he wasn’t going to go into his family life with initiates. He missed his family in truth, yet he could dwell on it another day when he weren’t currently responsible for transfers.

He risked a glance to them as some interrogations went on about why an erudite girl had jumped first which had peaked his own interest as he never cared much for why and the reasoning behind the jumpers before-just that they did it. But before things got too nasty, James had broken it up in his own heated way causing Trent to look to him lowering a hand communicating for him to cool it.

Trent turned his attention back to the transfers smiling a little at the outburst that was an improvised fear test. “Welcome to Dauntless. Stay on my heels.” He second looked the erudite and candor transfers. “Not literally,” he added and began the tour of the essentials. The touring bored him and no doubt would bore the initiates even more. If they were Dauntless, they wouldn’t mind the adventure of showing themselves around.

“The pit,” he introduced the vague opening stretching out his arms, picking up his pace so he could be over with it. “Uuhh training area, sometimes, it depends what your trainer wants to do with you is tucked to the right,” he announced as they were a level up from it.“It has targets, weaponry and rings which we’ll have plenty of time to experiment with later. The eating area is to the left. And your room is...” he led the way to the chasm and the little steel bridge crossing over it. He strolled across it with ease used to the absurd structure of Dauntless and looked over his shoulder to check the initiates. There was another way to their room in such a big place but part of being Dauntless was experimenting new stimuli.
“And your room,”he got to finish as he gestured to another opening after following few turns and dark corridors. The “room” had a few bunks and mattresses packed together. He took some black clothes from the arms of an experienced Dauntless waiting there for them. “Hope none of you have self-esteem issues.” He held out the clothes for the initiates to grab and once they were all off his arm, he paced off to regroup in the dining area, though that was putting it elegantly.

“I’m not giving tours again.” Was his way of greeting them as he took a seat. "So many transfers are gonna be wondering around lost now," he rubbed his temples. "If anyone asks it's a teamwork test," he justified in advance.

Logan was not very impressed by the girl who seemed to think the way Logan did, but not in a curious way, more like a competitive, dangerous way. He studied the girl with the same laid back smile on his face though he did intensely, not allowing anyone to catch his true meaning behind glancing at her. He gave a death glare to those who snickered, making it clear that encouraging being rude was not something he found funny or cool at all. He was glad to see some of his Dauntless friends give harsh looks to those same people as well, causing the smile to return to his face.

He was about to make a comment about how there was no need for the comment when Brielle seemed to speak up first. He wanted to groan, but refrained. These girls weren't making it easy for him to believe they could all get along well. He gave Brielle the same look he had given Rosalyn, now disapproving of her actions as well. He had to admit, Brielle was something he was interested in, as she seemed to be different too... Was Logan really not so different that he was the only... what was the word the guy used... Divergent kid there was?

When Brielle's words seemed directed more towards him, he listened, genuinely interested. He smiled at her slight catch about it being the first assessment and all. He wondered if he should try to hint at the Divergent thing without making it clear, hoping the girl would be smart enough to catch it if she really was Divergent as well. Man, Logan hoped she was. It would make his life so much better, in theory. From what Logan could tell, this girl was either extremely smart, or just bluffing, both of which were equally possible as he saw it.

He smiled at what she said about the faster analyzing, the better. It didn't give him any extra evidence, but it sure did make him want to laugh. He smiled slightly, then turned to everyone. "And there you have it folks, everyone knows it takes street smarts to be Dauntless, so she's street smart and has a pretty face, Ulrich, you said you were looking for a girl right?" Logan asked his friend at the back of the group who smiled and laughed. As everyone turned their attention to Ulrich to listen to whatever he was saying, Logan turned to Brielle for a moment, whispering into her ear so nobody could hear what he said, "You were right about most of what you said. However, the first test? Climbing to get to the train. It was the fourth really. Sorry to put you on the spot, by the way," He said with a wink, turning his mouth to be a flirty smile before pulling away in case anyone was watching and thought it odd. He winked at her again as he began walking away, moving to join the now smiling and laughing Ulrich.

It was then that someone appeared, speaking loudly but not exactly shouting. It was then Logan noticed the other Dauntless filing out of the big area with the net. Logan studied the new guy, curious about him. Logan looked at the guy, doing his best, and probably succeeding, with hiding his lack of being impressed and the respect that was flying out the window. This was the kind of guy that Logan didn't like, and didn't care to really bother talking to unless he was approached first. He was being... what was the word? Annoying.

Trent stepped in causing Logan's respect for him and being impressed towards him sky rocket. Logan followed the crowd, ignoring the question Ulrich asked in his ear about him being interested in the Bri girl. He was certainly interested, though perhaps not the way Ulrich was referring to. Logan looked over the side of the bridge they crossed as they walked towards their room, marveling at the height and at the same time, wondering why it was at all convenient to have it in there? Why?

When Trent offered Logan the black clothing, he was happy and sad. He liked the color red, but hated the color yellow, so it was kind of a win lose if you looked at it the right way. Logan accepted the clothing, giving Trent a nod of thanks as he observed the room. He didn't have self esteem issues thankfully, but he wasn't exactly entirely... well... sure he wanted to change in a room filled with girls. He didn't care about changing in front of them so much as them changing in front of him, but realized to announce that would probably, actually, definitely be a bad idea. Logan changed quickly, feeling like it was probably a good idea. He wasn't self conscious about himself since he did have to do a lot of heavy lifting and wasn't one to eat more than he should. He wasn't exactly chiseled, but he was tan and muscular, both things one doesn't mind. Logan tossed his Amity clothes on a random bunk, taking the top so that he would feel more comfortable with the height before following Trent back to the dining room.

Logan smiled at Trent's reasoning, shaking his head in wonder at his surroundings. He was in Dauntless. He was in freaking Dauntless. It felt nice. He took a seat near Trent, but across from him and a few seats down, next to Ulrich and some other Dauntless initiates who were from Dauntless. To his left, the seats were basically open, nobody sitting nearby for a few tables.

Brielle looked down, did he really have to go and make it worse? Now she was street smart and a pretty face, great, she almost wanted to slap Logan when he went to whisper in her ear. "You were right about most of what you said. However, the first test? Climbing to get to the train. It was the fourth really. Sorry to put you on the spot, by the way," Brielle watched Logan as he made his way back to his friends, she almost rolled her eyes, but the boy had taken an interest in her for some reason, she knew it wasn’t romantic or hoped it wasn’t she didn’t want to deal with that, but she did want to know why Logan had taken an interest in her, she would investigate it as time went by.

The tour itself was boring, Trent to the looks of Brielle didn’t want to be doing it. She was a fast learner probably wouldn’t get lost, or hoped she wouldn’t get lost. Brielle was last to go up to Trent and get clothes [color= #48D1CC ]“Thank you.”[/color] she said taking the clothes and going back over to her bed, she pulled the pants on underneath her dress, she unzipped it quickly pulling the top on, she didn’t want anyone staring at her really, she had enough attention from everyone for one day, more like for the month.

Brielle found her way to the dining area, she decided to play it safe and stay as far away from the initiates as possible, deciding she was going to sit across from Trent where the only one near her would be Logan, her curiosity was spiked with the boy now and she wanted to know why he was so intrigued by her, she was sure she would eventually figure it out. Brielle looked at Trent and smiled slightly, she didn’t really want to initiate a conversation but at least wanted to be friendly, she was going to be under his rule for a while they might as well get along. “Aren’t you curious as to why I jumped first?” Brielle asked signaling she had noticed his peaked interest when she was being interrogated. “I’m rather observant...and awkward apparently.” Brielle laughed at her own pathetic attempt to start a conversation with Trent, she was awkward that was for sure.

Ciara knew of the train tests and took that with a plausible level of ease. Even jumping into the blackness that an erudite girl of all people had volunteered to do first-she took with ease. The Dauntless didn’t send initiates to their death instantly; just challenged them mentally and physically. Although there had been cases of people missing the jump from the train to the building.
One after one, they jumped and headed to Trent as instructed, which she was surprised to hear as tour guide.

Of course the touring was for the transfers while the Dauntless born marched off to their own areas getting a quick lecture. “Being dauntless born does not guarantee your position here. From here on, you will have to earn your place and rank high on the board to be true dauntless.” The rest of the speech continued like so as she reflected on her result. Erudite.

The unofficial gathering was usually where they ate and Ciara was not surprised to see Trent there already, carrying on about his touring duty. At least he admitted to being a bad guide causing Ciara to smile. “I wasn’t aware Dauntless had constructed a team working and navigation test,” she commented finding her own seat at another table. “But I’ll be sure to stick to the story,” she called leaning on a hand waiting for the next orders to get up and train more than likely.

The transfers dressed in black caused a new kind of smile to sneak upon her lips. For some it looked odd, some better but mostly odd. And Trent as a guide was still amusing as well as visualizing a bunch of initiates roaming Dauntless lost.
His strength was much more in the training department as was The Warden’s and Nadia’s. They each bought their own element to training and surely enough at least one trainer would work for someone. They were like a variety of flavors.

ImageInitiations. Nadia could never decide whether she liked them or loathed them. On one hand, there was the opportunity to discover new recruits, brave individuals with a thirst for adventure. On the other, it was an opportunity for headstrong morons to get in over their heads, and chucked right out into the world of the factionless. As a trainer, she wasn't supposed to worry about the ones that didn't make it, but the idea was none the more pleasant. That being said, from what she'd heard, she wasn't going to miss all of the newbies.

"This is your first day, you will do exactly as Trent and I tell you to do. One wrong move, I'll shove my goddamn boot so far up your ass you'll be coughing shoelaces. Understood? Under-fucking-stood?!"

Hearing the familiar growl, Nadia scoffed. "Charming as always," She muttered to herself, before following the voice. She raised her hands, tying her dark locks back into their usual, ribbon-y ponytail, before striding toward the crowd in the distance, the two trainers, directed the mass of recruits will little grace, but then again, this was Dauntless. Elegance was hardly typical protocol.

As the newbies came entered their new 'bedroom', Nadia watched in silence, waiting before following the two trainers into the dining room. She appeared just as Trent took a seat to complain. “I’m not giving tours again. So many transfers are gonna be wandering around lost now. If anyone asks it's a teamwork test." "They must be overjoyed to have such a compassionate mentor." She replied dryly, leaning back against the wall near him and shooting him a look that clearly stated her sarcasm.

Trent smiled at the pure sarcasm of the Dauntless but paid it no attention. Particularly as a voice came across the table to distract him anyway. He risked a glance around making sure the original erudite girl was talking to him and he furrowed his Imagebrows. “Brielle?” he was unsure if he had caught her name right as it was announced as first jumper. “Well
” he thought of how to put it without sounding like a complete ass or like he was snapping at her and he knew how daunting things could be already but really there was no other way to say what he wanted. “I kinda already heard you explain it to the others. We weren’t standing that far apart. So I’m not that curious anymore.” He flashed the pretty girl an ice-breaking smile. She’d have to break away from erudite habit of evaluating every little thing and the compulsion to explain everything, especially in Dauntless. Even Trent, with Amity as his background for just a flicker of a second felt insulted and like a subject rather than a being. Then again, that could have very well been the emotional dauntless side. But she'd figure it out for herself with being so smart.

“If you want some food I suggest you dig in now,” he warned them after a moment. He didn’t know when they last ate but he knew they’d be in the training area for a few hours. After all, he had an interesting new bunch to work with and as far as he knew other factions didn’t face physical conflict often or at all so it’d be a beginner’s class to see what they knew and what they were made of.

“If you want some food I suggest you dig in now.” Brielle looked at the food in front of her, she wasn’t quite sure what she wanted, but took a hamburger anyway, the room was loud with people talking over one another, there was yelling as well, people yelling at friends, siblings, she had heard one brother yelling at another a little earlier. She tensed up immediately when some people slid in to sit next to her, she looked at the guy on her right and her heart almost stopped, he looked like Mathias:

“You can’t do anything right!” Mathias had screamed, Brielle had miss counted one of her equations for her brother and he had gone into a rage, he struck her a few times and then yelled and yelled while Brielle just sat on the floor.

Brielle shivered, she hadn’t had a memory like that in a while. “What?” The boy snapped telling Brielle that she had been staring. “You look like someone I know...used to know” Brielle replied quickly but attempted to keep a calm voice, but even she could hear the shake in her voice. “Excuse me.” Brielle forced a little smile getting up with her food and moving down to where Logan’s friends and Logan were sitting, she sat down by them but didn’t initiate much of a conversation.

Dinner seemed long after that, Brielle couldn’t get the shake out of her voice and was more distracted, maybe she was paranoid because she was worried Mathias would just show up when she tried and had succeeded at escaping her ill tempered brother, she wasn’t sure why she was so worried Mathias hated Dauntless, she knew he wouldn’t show up but it was just the thought of it, the thought of it made her feel sick by itself.

ImageNadia smirked slightly when Trent ignored her, and turned her attention to the crowd of newbies that had begun to emerge from their bedroom, now dressed freshly in the typical black of the Dauntless. Another small, barely noticeable smile tugged at her lips when she saw them all, a vast sea of darkly dressed awkwardness. She watched, expressionless, eyes analysing, as they tucked into the food laid on the tables.

With a scoff, she moved towards Trent, frowning slightly as the young 'uns swallowed down food like it was their last meal. "The last ones were too stressed to eat." She muttered, remembering the previous recruits. They had been an oddly small and jumpy group. Even the Dauntless had been unexpectedly nervous. But they'd all gotten through, save for... what? Nine? Ten. Who had there been, again? There was the Erudite twins, convinced that book-smarts were enough to survive, the Amity who tried -and failed- to prove a point, the Dauntless who would've been a better Candor... Nadia didn't really like recalling the faces. She got a bad feeling in her stomach. Guilt? Couldn't be. Dauntless weren't supposed to feel things like that.

Perhaps she should get it checked out.

Glancing down at Trent, she queried in a calm tone, "It's my turn to do the speech this year, you know." She shot him a slight smile, "It's gonna leave your one from last year in the dust."

Trent chuckled at Nadia’s words and the challenge present in everything. “I’m looking forward to it especially since you’re such a people’s person,” he commented. She acted robotic, like emotions weren’t allowed most the time but he knew different. He just liked to joke about the famous "bitch" they all knew and loved. He’d imagine the speech to be similar to that of preparing for war, minus James’ particular emotional passion demonstrated before. Then again, Nadia could be full of surprises so he was genuinely looking forward to her warm up speech that would ‘leave his in the dust’. Still it wouldn’t be too soppy.

“I thought I did quite good last year,” he added with furrowed brows trying to reflect on the speech he made. It was uplifting but relevant; discussing the good of Dauntless and how rewarding it is to be a part of Dauntless but that it takes some work. Perhaps that was his error though as he should have substituted “some work” for “a lot”. Dauntless was all about overcoming physical and mental challenges that caused more than a few break downs last year. They pushed many limits for initiates to overcome and obviously that didn't have a happy ending for everyone.

Trent couldn’t be stationary much longer, especially while the provoking thoughts ran on in his mind. But he covered it by pretending to grow impatient waiting for initiates as he rose to his feet. “As long as it’s you giving the speech and not James.” He pat her shoulder and shuffled between the isles to head to the adventurous room where the activity and training and epic speech would be.

He whistled to round James up so the trainers could all get a proper look of what they were working with this year, and pointed to where he was heading. The training area where perspectives changed. To those whose eyes he caught, he gave them a little wave over.
