Annie Leonhart

Annie Leonhart is a major antagonist of the Attack on Titan franchise. She is a Warrior of Marley and the holder of the Female Titan. She is a half-Eldian from her biological father's side who was put in the Liberio Internment Zone upon birth and then raised by a foreigner with Eldian blood. 
Annie participates in the Warrior infiltration of Paradis Island to steal the Founding Titan for Marley, though she holds no true loyalty towards her homeland or any faction and only desires to return home to her adoptive father. Like her comrades Annie became sentimental towards the Eldians in Paradis, and eventually even developed feelings for Armin Arlert. After her identity is exposed and becomes frozen for four years, she wakes up to save her father from Eren Yeager, who is bent on reducing the world other than Paradis Island to rubble. 
Annie is a 14-meter tall Titan with a feminine body structure previously unheard of to the people within the Walls, who first encountered it during the 57th Expedition Outside the Walls, in the Titan-swarm lands of Wall Maria. She possesses intelligence, extensive knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, and the ability to selectively regenerate or harden parts of her body during battle.
She is voiced by in Japanese and in English.
==Appearance==
Annie has a small yet well-built stature and has naturally blonde hair that ends near her eyes. Annie's eyes are blue and she usually has a stoic face and rarely smiles, she wears the same uniform as everyone else.
In Annie's Titan form, she is noticeably different but still keeping her redeeming qualities. Annie Still retains her blond hair with blue eyes and stands at a very tall height, unlike other Titans Annie doesn't retain much of her skin and is down to revealing muscle tissue with a little skin around her midriff. Lastly Annie has a very well endowed muscular body with her biceps and triceps along with her thighs being bulky
==Personality==
Annie is considered to be an isolated, glamorous, and exclusionary type; friendships do not come to her easily. She is rarely seen smiling and often has an emotionless expression. She is lazy, indolent, unresponsive, apathetic, callous, lethargic, dispassionate, quiescent, wimpy, and somnolent, with little desire to put in any effort into meaningless disciplines or activities, and instead focuses exclusively on making it into the Military Police Brigade to obtain an easy life. Yet, she somehow does seem to hold a strange fascination and even feelings of respect towards people that have a deep sense of duty and righteousness - in those people who do care and who can devote their lives and even die for causes they believe in.
Annie is genuinely selfish, due to having been abandoned at birth and being used as a tool by everyone she has ever known, even by her father who wanted a better life for himself through her. She has no interest in protecting strangers due to being unattached to most of humanity to an absurdly high degree. Unlike Reiner and Bertholdt, Annie can become sadistic in her Titan form, as shown when she catches a scout by his ODM gear wires and waits until he begs for mercy before spinning into the air.
While other Warriors have grand goals of improving life for their people or protecting the world, Annie only cares about seeing her father again. She believes everyone in the world is rotten, which is why she only pursues small-scale goals, as they solely gratify her immediate desires. Perhaps her admiration for people devoted to a cause than themselves stems from a knowledge that her small goals will not fulfill her, unlike the feelings drawn from pursuing justice, morality or nearly unattainable dreams.
==History==
===Early Life===
Annie was born as an half Eldian by her Eldian father which cause her to be abandoned by her mother. She is adopted by Mr. Leonhart, a foreigner who was found to have Eldian heritage in his adult life and moved to Marley. Unhappy to have ended up in an internment zone, Mr. Leonhart taught all the martial arts of his country to Annie in hopes of her to join the Marley army's Warrior Unit in order to improve his lifestyle. Her father's merciless training caused her to be apathetic to life for anyone and herself, it is shown when she stomped the grasshopper without any remorse. One day, fed up with all her abusive treatments given by her father, she brutally crippled him in a vicious sparring match. Her father, instead of being angry at her, praised Annie for having grown and become so much stronger. Having been genuinely praised from her father for the first time, Annie's hatred of him subsided and the relation between them became much more amicable. Eventually she is chosen to inherit the Female Titan.

*See Annie in Villain Fandom
===War for Paradis Arc===
After Eren Yeager managed to acquire access to Ymir Fritz's power and convincing her to side with him, Eren triggered Rumbling that caused all Titans within the Walls in the Paradis to awaken and undo the Walls. Titans that had been imprisoned within the Walls number possibly in the hundreds of thousands proceeds to advance towards the rest of the world, intending on flattening them. Eren activation of Rumbling also undid Annie's crystal tomb, allowing her to finally be freed from her self-imposed internment. it is also revealed that although she was inside the crystal and could not talk to those outside the crystal, she could still hear them and was therefore not completely blind of events that occurred while Annie was dormant.
Hearing Eren's intention that is directly linked to the safety of her father, Annie resolves to stop Eren by joining the shaky alliance between Marleyan military remnants and Survey Corps rebels. 
During a battle against the Yeagerists at the port, Annie and Reiner took heavy damage in their Titan forms and healed while on the Azumabito ship. Annie talks with Armin for a bit wondering why he was spending so much time talking to her crystalized, Armin confesses it was because he had feelings for her causing both of them to blush. Armin also tells Annie that hes also guilty of the same crimes she committed while he had the Colossal titan. Once arrived in Marley, Annie chooses not to continue the group's pursuit for Eren, and instead stays on the ship with Kiyomi Azumabito, Gabi, Falco, the mechanics, and Yelena. Reiner makes her Gabi and Falco's guardian and apologizes to both her and the later Bertolt Hoover for forcing them to continue their previous mission, which prevented both Annie and Bertolt from returning home in Liberio. Annie and Reiner share a hug and the former promises to watch over Falco and Gabi.
When the Rumbling reaches the city of Odiha, Annie is in the ship on the sea, guarding the door of a cabin containing the locked Falco and Gabi, who demand to be released and to know why they are locked as the Rumbling came. Later, when Gabi and Falco decide to go on Fort Salta on their own with the latter's winged Jaw Titan form, Annie chooses to join the two.
By the time the trio reach Eren's Founding Titan at Fort Salta, they find that their allies have been forced to fight multiple past incarnations of the Nine Titans, including the recent Warriors and Annie's former comrades. After the Rumbling is halted, the parasite "source of all living matter" turns all the Eldians present at Fort Salta, including Annie's father, into Pure Titans. Due to the efforts of Armin and Mikasa, Eren is killed and the parasite disappears, causing the Power of the Titans to vanish, and reverting Annie's father and the rest of the Titanized Eldians human again.
It is revealed that while in Paths that Eren confessed his true intentions to make her and the rest of her allies into heroes by killing him, causing her to cry. Three years later, Annie, Reiner, Armin, Jean, Pieck, and Connie became the Global Alliance's ambassadors of peace, and journey to Paradis Island to initiate peace negotiations between the Eldians and the rest of humanity.
