Lol I think Trista’s just misunderstood. Honestly, I kinda wish there would be a chapter where we just become real friends with her. Imagine this.

Since Trista is the child prodigy, Trista wants to keep it that way, not because she wants to be the best but because she doesn’t want her parents to be disappointed in her. seriously, what kind of child wants their parents to be disappointed In them?

So she tries to be the best at everything, because her parents expect so much of her...

But let’s just assume that somewhere in that story’s we just see Trista break down and cry because she states that she’s sick of everything:

_________________

'''I noticed how much Trista was shaking. Her parents make her do a lot of stuff, that’s what I noticed. '''

'''“I expect you to ace everything on that exam Trista, and me and your father will be so proud of you if you join the debate club. Those people won’t know who’s the best until you arrive, because I’m sure you will be the best at that as well, compared to other kids” her mom said, and many other “achievements” for her to accomplish. '''

'''Like I said, for some reason, Trist was shaking. '''

'''“Tris? Are you okay?” Cora asked, looking at her with a worried look. '''

''Then unexpectedly, Trista fell down to her knees and started shaking even more. She looked.... tired.''

'''“I can’t do this anymore.... I just can’t.” She yelled, slightly angry, and more sorrowed than her usual voice, Trista was always so proud... but now she’s just close to giving up. '''

'''“Trista... I... I don’t know exactly what you’re talking about, but.... if it helps... you can’t be tired of winning. Trista you’re smart, you’re athletic, you’re the best in your class, you won at taking the hearts of everyone in your family.” I told her with a smile, trying to help her bring back that pride.'''

She looked at both me and Cora with sad eyes, “Im not tired of winning Red...” she paused before letting a single tear fall down her cheeks.

“I’m tired of living up to everyone’s expectations.”

This is what I imagine Trista’s backstory to be. I mean, she can’t be a bad person, she’s not those cliche man-whores who are good at everything lol.
