My favorite character in the Insurgent by Veronica Roth is Tobias "Four" Eaton. He is the love interest in the trilogy and he keeps Beatrice "Tris" Prior sane. They are like yin and yang to each other, the balance each other out.
In the novel, Tris acts rashly and impulsively because of the fact that people are trying to kill her. On the other hand, Four is older and has gotten more training and has dealt with this situation for many years. Four helps Tris stay calm and rational at times when she needs it. Four is her safety blanket.
I admire this characteristic in people. Those who look out for others and help them when they need it. That is not only good to have in a partner, but it is good to have in a friend as well.
Tobias not only balances our Tris, but he balances out the book as well. Whenever the book gets too serious or if there needs to be some drama, Four pops up to do the job. Four keeps you on you toes. You never know what side of him you will see next when you turn the page. This is why I like this character.
