Early Life
Tris's family, (mother's name is Darra Chandler, father's name is Valden Chandler last reported to be still in Ninver), thought she was either haunted or an elemental based on the strength of the weather phenomena that she unwittingly created. Magic testers had repeatedly found she had no magic, though. At a very young age before she came to Winding Circle, Tris was transferred from one family member to another, for nobody wanted her because of the ruckus that followed her when she accidentally used magic. She therefore developed a rather bitter feeling towards her family and a love of animals, the only ones who would accept her.
Eventually her family gave up on her and sent her to a temple where her magic was discovered by Niklaren Goldeye when they were trying to get rid of her as well by transferring her to Winding Circle Temple. While most weather mages can just control rainfall or winds, Tris has power of earthquakes, rainfall, lightning (which is a very rare magic), winds, cyclones, volcanoes and water.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
