Founder Ymir (or Ymir Fritz) was the first person to gain the power of the Titans. She is the daughter of Rose Quartz (secretly the alternate persona of Pink Diamond).

Ymir was a slave of the Eldian King, who abused her power to bring prosperity to his kingdom and devastating the neighboring kingdom of Marley, as well as the rest of the world. Thirteen years after gaining Titan powers she was killed while thwarting an attempt by a soldier to assassinate the king. Following her death, Ymir's daughters, Maria, Rose and Sheena, were forced to consume her corpse.

## Personality

Ymir was portrayed in Eldian folklore and mythology as a kind and compassionate young girl who was always thinking of others, much like her mother. In reality, however, she was a slave with no will of her own. As a human-gem hybrid, the powers of her mother's gemstone were connected to her emotions and motivations; since she knew nothing except to be unquestionably obedient to those above her (as well as how she believed that she could be nothing more than a slave), the gemstone was nothing more than a decoration.

She was wholly submissive to the Eldian King, obeying his every command and even sacrificing herself for him. Even in death she remained blindly obedient to the royal family. It would not be until 2000 years after her death that she would finally embrace her own free will, thanks to Eren Yeager.

As revealed by Garnet, Ymir actually was somewhat aware of her mother's background; she came to inherit her mother's admiration for the Earth, and she sought out the love that her mother spoke of so often in her memories. When King Fritz began exploiting Ymir for her powers, she came to interpret his actions as him loving and caring for her, having never experienced true compassion.

When Ymir died, she desired to stay connected to Earth and to her descendants, hence the creation of the Paths. Some of the Gems that made up the Cluster, such as Garnet, lent their own powers to Ymir in creating the Nine Titans in order to help preserve Rose Quartz' legacy.

## History

The exact details of Ymir's birth and early life before being captured are not fully known. At some point after the end of the Rebellion against Homeworld, Rose presumably fell in love with a man in a village outside of Eldia, and gave up her physical form to give birth to Ymir. Several years later, Ymir's village was captured by Eldian soldiers, and the villagers, including Ymir, had their tongues cut out and were forced into slavery.

At one point, the King accused the slaves of allowing a pig to escape, threatening violence if they did not (figuratively) speak up. Frightened by the prospect of further brutal torture, the slaves were quick to give up Ymir, who immediately accepted the accusation. The King released her, only to send his soldiers after her to hunt her down for sport.

The wounded and desperate Ymir sought shelter in a cave at the base of a tree, where she ended up falling into a pit and came into contact with a strange creature, resulting in the birth of the first Founding Titan.

The king used Ymir's powers to further expand Eldia's power, wealth and prosperity, destroying its enemy Marley in the process. As a reward for her "service," King Fritz made Ymir his concubine; together they had three daughters, Maria, Rose and Sheena.

13 years after Ymir gained her Titan powers, Pearl attempted to assassinate the King, but ended up killing Ymir instead. Pearl ended up getting shattered, leaving Bloodstone as the only Crystal Gem left on Earth. Upon death, Ymir found herself in a mysterious, barren land, where she would reside for the next 2,000 years, serving Eldia's royal bloodline as a slave just as she did in life.

Desperate to retain Ymir's powers, the king forced his daughters to cannibalize their mother's corpse. As Ymir's bloodline grew, her soul was divided into Nine Titans.

Ymir would create Titans as ordered by members of the Fritz/Reiss bloodline.
