Avalon

Avalon is a Grisialspine that lives in Meadow Division. He adopted Eren and Aspen, serving as their guardian.

## Appearance

Avalon is a Grisialspine with red, sharp crystal protrusions. He has red-tinged skin with darker spots on his arms, legs and tail. His ears are reddish, and are horse-like. He has white, pupiless eyes. He wears orange pants with a light strap tied around the waist, and no shirt. He has a sharp barb on the end of his tail. He doesn't wear shoes.

## Personality

Avalon is extremely timid. He jumps at the slightest noise and cowers when someone raises their voice. Despite his intimidating appearance and height, he is very kind-hearted.

He also demonstrates his kindness through taking care of others and offering his help. He provides aid for The Hooded Figure when he arrives injured on his doorstep, and creates a plan with Sasha to demote Burnem and stop his tyranny.

He is introverted and prefers to stay home. This could be for multiple reasons, like his fear of getting hurt or facing some unknown force, some form of anxiety, or his disinterest in socializing. He will attempt to make conversation, but he generally prefers to be on his own.

## History

### The Unfortunate War

During this comic, The Hooded Figure and Freya are seen arriving at his house after escaping a Beacon patrol. This is revealed to be Avalon's house in Episode Five.

### Pre-Season One

Demonstrated in the EP5 Flashback, Avalon took in The Hooded Figure and Freya after they escaped soldiers. He notices that the Hooded Figure suffered a stomach wound, and he'll need more assistance to survive. He cooks soup for them to restore their energy. Eventually, Freya asks him to keep her and her partner safe until his wound heals. From the kindness of his heart, he decides to shelter the strangers he let into his house.

### Season One

The Scratch Episodes are currently being remade, and all details pertaining to Avalon are up to interpretation until their eventual remake.

In EP5, Avalon converses with Ember about being a Protector. It's revealed that Protectors have to go through extensive training and it's quite unusual that Avalon doesn't have any prior experience. Avalon is unsure of if he was the right choice to protect Burnem, but Ember reassures him and says that he is capable of telling what is right from wrong. The Diplomats all meet together in the Banner Room for their Biannual meeting. Avalon expresses concern for his children while the Diplomats discuss their whereabouts, unaware that they are innocent teenagers. While the debate continues, Avalon is scared into silence and doesn't have the courage to speak up.

## Relationships

### Eren

Avalon often advises Eren to stay out of trouble. As the youngest, Avalon dotes on him quite a bit. He demonstrates concern for his adoptive son in EP5, as the other diplomats are discussing a threat related to his magic.

### Aspen

Avalon often put pressure on Aspen since they are the eldest. He advised Aspen to keep watch of Eren and take care of tasks outside of the house like selling his wares and doing grocery runs.

In EP4, Avalon tearfully tells Aspen that she and Eren will have to flee in order to stay safe. It hurts him to say goodbye to his children, but he must shield them from Burnem and the rest of the diplomats.

### The Hooded Figure

Avalon and the Hooded Figure are implied to be in a relationship in flashbacks. Avalon is upset, expressing sadness and guilt after his death and is continuously traumatized by it. He carries two vials from him, wrapped in a green cloth that concealed his face.

### Burnem

Avalon is demonstrated to be Burnem's pawn in taking over the Division government. Burnem was aware that Avalon had no ability in being a Protector and specifically exploited it for his personal gain. After all, if he was the Division Leader, no one else would be scared to oppose him. This motivates Avalon to forge a plan with Ember and Sasha to take Burnem out of power.
