Amity is one of the five factions in the world of Divergent. It is the one and only faction dedicated to peacefulness, kindness, forgiveness, trust, self-sufficiency, and neutrality. Amity was formed by those who blamed war and fighting for human nature's faults. Amity color is red and yellow, and the element they use in the choosing ceremony is soil.

Amity is the faction that dislikes war. They formed Amity in order to have a peaceful society free from conflict and sadness caused by wars and instigation. They don't recognize a leader but use Johanna Reyes as their representative or "mouthpiece". They are a democratic faction, almost unanimously voting on everything. The bread that they eat even has a peace serum in it to prevent the faction members from fighting.

As the faction that symbolizes happiness and freedom from human conflict, members generally wear clothing that is bright and pleasant. Their attire consists of clothes that are red and yellow. Their dress code is less formal than other factions and an Erudite transfer could wear blue jeans without causing uproar.

Amity has a somewhat egregious (and mostly one-sided) rivalry with Candor, as the Candor believe that "those who seek peace will always deceive to keep the waters calm", and are therefore prone to be dishonest for the sake of respect. And while Amity are not viewed by Candor as "liars" or "deceivers" in the most traditional sense, their habit of denying their true selves in favor of that which is accepted by others as a whole for the sake of unity is a form of deception by Candor standards. Amity is not opposed to white or even direct lies, if it helps to keep the peace, since peace is what they value most.
