#206, Faction
The five factions in the Divergent universe divide citizens based upon their values and abilities. Each faction represents an important aspect of society, and together, they balance one another to create a harmonious whole.
Imagine that you are the leader of your PEAI class. It has yet to be assigned a faction and it is up to you to decide which of the five factions best represents your class. Surely, it is a mix of several qualities, but a divergent faction cannot exist.
