BiographyEdit

DivergentEdit

Christina and Tris had first met on the train at the start of the Dauntless initiation, where they both had to jump on and off the train onto a rooftop, seven stories high. They instantly became friends, as they were both faction transfers and seemed to have a mutual understanding of eachother.

During the first stage of initiation, Christina forfeited her first fight against Molly, who had brutally beaten her up. As a result of her cowardice, Eric made her hang over the Chasm for five minutes. Christina barely made it and after the five minutes was up, Eric told Christina to get back up herself but Al intervened and took her up over the railing. She ranked 4th in the first and 7th in the second stage, respectively, among the transfer initiates, and 7th over-all in the final stage.

During Visiting Day, she was visited by her mother and sister.

She and Will began a short-lived relationship right before the final stage of initiation (the fear landscape).

Right after initiation was over, she was controlled by the Simulation Serum along with all other non-Divergent Dauntless who were injected with the serum. Will was also controlled by Jeanine's serum and killed by Tris.
