Spotlight on Dauntless


Coming to you from Reading Lark over the next week we have a series of spotlights focusing on Insurgent by Veronica Roth, the second book in the Divergent trilogy. In case you haven’t already noticed, we have a great Team Erudite giveaway to enter here, and you can catch up with Lark Jen’s review of Insurgent here

 Today we are featuring Dauntless, who most people probably regard as “the Good Guys”. So, without further ado, here’s a little about them. 

 Faction: Dauntless 


 Characteristics of faction: 
 Courageous and strive to overcome fear. 
Guard the fence around the city & provide security generally. 
Travel by jumping onto and off of trains. 
Wear black clothing. 
Can be quite impulsive. 
Believe in teamwork.   

Quote: 
 “We believe that preparation eradicates cowardice, which we define as the failure to act in the midst of fear.”  Divergent pg 77.   

 People/Characters who could be Dauntless: 
 Prince Ash, The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa 

Jace Wayland, The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare 

Wolverine, X Men 

Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 

Gale Hawthorn, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 


 Who else do you think could be Dauntless? 

 Why Dauntless is the best: 
 They are brave enough to protect the weak, and let’s face it; they seem to have the most fun of all the factions with exciting games of ‘Capture the Flag’. 



 Don’t forget Insurgent is released on May 1st!
