Do you have that one friend, a best friend, who you can laugh with? Call up, no matter what time, just to talk? You can shoot their boyfriend/ girlfriend and still be best friends with? Ok maybe not the last one, but you know what it's like right? Well Tris and Christina are like that, even about the part where you shoot the others boyfriend.
They met in Dauntless initiation -wow that seems way far away- and have been friends ever since. Their friendship has been put to the test many times though, with jealousy, and guilt, and Tris shooting Christina's boyfriend. But the important part is that they always get back together. "Our friendship has held up under an incredible weight, the weight of me shooting someone she loved, the weight of so many losses. Other bonds would have broken. For some reason, this one hasn’t.” Pg. 393
This friendship plays a role in the book. Tris and Christina get power and encouragement in each other. When Tris got angry at Tobias she started to hang out with Christina more and their friendship helped Tris get over her anger easier and she eventually forgave Tobias. But now Christina’s friend, Uriah, is in a coma and soon they will be taking him off life-support. She needs Tris' help to get her over his upcoming-death and recover. “’Sometimes I feel like I’ve lost all my friends,’ Christina says. ‘You haven’t lost Cara,' I say. 'Or Tobias. And, Christina, you haven’t lost me. You’ll never lose me.’” Pg. 392.
