FAQ With Veronica: The Random Edition

Veronica Roth answers some of the fans burning questions in this FAQ, including info about Four, and the books. Check it out below:
 
What's Four's last name?
I have an official response to this question, and it is: you'll find out if you read Insurgent. Although I feel like I should add to that that it's not some huge shocking reveal. It's just that Four is so careful about using his name. He only does it when he has to. So I want you guys to feel the significance of it just like Tris does, even though it's not a shock.

What color is Four's hair?
The first time someone mentioned that I never said what color Four's hair is in Divergent, I refused to believe it. But then I double-checked, and realized that I didn't, actually. So, for the official record, his hair is dark brown.



What's Tris's eye color?
This one I did actually include in Divergent, but it's only there once or twice, so, again for the official record, her eyes are blue.

Who would you cast as Tris/Tobias?
In the past, I've responded to this in a few different ways, depending on my mood. I've said that I don't care who it is, even if they don't look quite right, as long as they're good at acting. (True.) I've said I like "nobodies." (Also true.) And I've said that I think Tris looks like Mia Wasikowska. (Still true.) And that I have no freaking idea who looks like Tobias. (This is the most true.)

Do you intend to write more books after this series?
Yes. But I'm taking one thing at a time.

How many books are in the series?
Some people ask this, I think, because the faction symbols are on the covers, and there are five faction symbols (therefore: five books, right?). But no. There will be three books, that is all.

  3. Always fun to see authors dive into fan questions like this — Veronica Roth’s FAQ is a great reminder of how much thought goes into even the smallest character details. The mystery around Four’s name and the subtle traits like Tris’s eye color show how layered the Divergent universe really is.

    Also love her take on casting — choosing talent over looks and embracing “nobodies” keeps the story grounded and fresh. It’s cool to see how she balances fan curiosity with creative control.

    It’s a neat parallel to how small traits (like a power-up or a personality quirk) can shape the entire experience.

  8. This FAQ is really interesting for fans of Divergent and the entire series by Veronica Roth. It gives small but meaningful details about beloved characters like Four and Tris Prior that fans are always curious about.

    Learning that Four’s last name is revealed in Insurgent adds more depth to his mysterious personality. Details like Four’s dark brown hair and Tris’s blue eyes also help readers better visualize the characters. Veronica Roth’s comments about casting choices are also interesting, especially her preference for talented actors rather than just big names.

    It’s also exciting to know that the series was always planned as a trilogy, which helped maintain a focused story without stretching it unnecessarily. These kinds of behind-the-scenes insights make fans feel more connected to the characters and the world.

    Similarly, just like fans enjoy diving deeper into their favorite books, gamers also love exploring new experiences and enhanced versions of their favorite games.

  9. This article felt quite engaging, especially how Veronica answered random questions in a relaxed and personal way. It reminds me of gaming, where players choose their identity or path, similar to the faction system in Divergent, where society is divided based on traits. That connection makes it more relatable. Sometimes life itself feels like a challenging level, where you’re constantly dealing with struggles and getting over obstacles, eventually leading to self-discovery and understanding.
