Beatrice is this average height, skinny, sixteen year old, white girl. Throughout the book, it is shown that she is strong willed and doesn’t like to show weakness. Contrary to being born into the Abnegation Faction, she always had some selfishness inside her, which caused her to constantly be scolded by her older brother. She was born to Natalie and Andrew Prior, and she has an older brother named Caleb, whose shadow she always stood in, because of his acts of selflessness. The Abnegation Faction focuses on the virtue of selflessness, and they live to help/serve others, such as the “Factionless”. They reject the life of vanity and greed. One of their rules is to not look in mirrors when passing one. Beatrice had always liked the thought of these values, but never could use them herself.
