Students
In Shatterglass, Tris takes on Kethlun Warder (Keth) when it is discovered he has lightning and glass magic. He had accidentally created Chime, a living glass dragon capable of flight. The lightning aspect makes Tris the ideal teacher for him. He uses his magic to create glass spheres that can depict what is happening elsewhere; they assist in the capture of a serial murderer. An interesting quirk of his power makes his eyes spark when he feels particularly strong emotions. Tris discovers that Glaki has academic magic near the end of Shatterglass, and is responsible for her teaching as well.
Additional note: Tris has a very close relationship with the three other students at Winding Circle, who go by the names of Briar Moss, Sandrilene fa Toren, and Daja Kisubo. She also has very close relationships with their dog, Little Bear, and the students' teachers, Dedicate Rosethorn, Dedicate Lark, Niko (not a dedicate), Dedicate Frostpine, and (sometimes) Dedicate Crane.

Famous quotes containing the word students:
“If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they’re killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We’d not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.”
—Spike Lee (b. 1956)
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
