Dauntless
- Value Courage
- Blame cowardice for the worlds problems. They protect the city from threats within and without.
- Believe that you are far less likely to be scared if they are prepared to defend themselves. This is why they teach about guns, knives, and fighting.
- Training comes first, technology comes second.
- Brutality does not violate the rules that Dauntless members live by.
- Believe that human reason can excuse any evil, that is why it’s so important that they don’t rely on it.
- Teamwork used to be a priority.
- They take the initiation process very seriously.
- The initiates all sleep in the same room. (boys and girls) The Dauntless provide the transfers with some basic clothing at the beginning of initiation.
- Those not in the top five of each initiation class typically end up as guards.
- Tradition for initiates to divide into two teams and play capture the flag at the Navy Pier during initiation.
- Advice for initiates on Visiting Day: “If your families happen to visit you, try not to seem too attached. We take the phrase ‘faction before blood’ very seriously here.”
- Initiation Day is chaos. People are everywhere and many of them are drunk.

We do not believe in living comfortable lives. We do not believe that silence is useful. We do not believe in good manners. We do not believe in limiting the fullness of life. We do not believe in empty heads, empty mouths, or empty hands. We do not believe that learning to master violence encourages unnecessary violence. We do not believe that we should be allowed to stand idly by. We do not believe that any other virtue is more important than bravery.

“It’s those two definitions (fearless, and undaunted) that I found so fascinating. Being fearless and being undaunted are two different things. And the characters in DIVERGENT struggle with that distinction.”
{The First 100 Pages, and the DIVERGENT Dictionary}
[This is] what the Dauntless (you know, the brave faction) would recite daily, if they recited something:
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
—Dune by Frank Herbert
