## **Charactah Account**

Annie is cold and aloof, but has a deep admiration for people with strong ideals. Noted for her exceptional and unique fighting style, which she taught to Eren. While her classmates choose to join the Survey Corps, she follows through with her stated plan of joining the Military Police Brigade; she is the only Top 10 candidate to do so. During the 57th Expedition, she appears as the Female Titan and slaughters many soldiers while pursuing Eren. Failing to capture him, she is identified by Armin and led into a trap by him. Defeated by Eren and Mikasa, she uses a mysterious power to encase herself in crystal and remains in the Survey Corps' custody.

As told through Reiner's memories, Annie was an Eldian girl from the Libero Internment Zone who was raised by her father to become a Warrior. Due to her excellent hand-to-hand combat skills, she earned the right to inherit the Female Titan, and was chosen to take part in the Paradis Operation. When the mission was threatened by Marcel's death, she fought to abandon the operation and was forced into continuing by Reiner. Over the years, she traveled between the Walls to gather information.
