Annie Leonhart/Synopsis

## History

After Annie's birth, her blood test revealed she was a Subject of Ymir, which suggested her mother had an affair with an Eldian man. While it is unknown what happened to her mother, Annie was deported to the internment zone and later adopted by Euan Leonhart who was relocated for similar reasons. Her adoptive father intended to train her to become a Warrior so that he could live a privileged life. Thus, from a very young age, Annie underwent rigorous combat training with Leonhart.

Annie would eventually become as strong as he wanted; but in retaliation for all she had endured, she attacked him and left him permanently crippled. The brutal training she endured left her callous towards others, unable to find any value in whether one lived or died. At some point, Annie was chosen by the Marleyan government to inherit the power of the Female Titan.

## Story

She would be shipped off to Fort Tatakai, where she would meet other Warrior candidates. Here, Annie would be placed in Team 53 alongside Reiner Braun, Bertholdt Hoover, Pieck Finger, Marcel Galliard, and Porco Galliard. Later, Harry Potter would join the team. Together the seven candidates would work alongside each other to not only improve their own skills, but their ability to work in groups.

Annie would participate in many battles, starting with the Battle of Izu. This battle, which took place on her sixth birthday, would mark the starting point of her violent life. Led by Harry Potter, Team 53 would pass the enemy line before using detonatable charges to destroy the Mid-Eastern trenches preventing the Marleyan troops from pushing forward. On their march towards the trenches, Annie appeared emotionless, only switching her emotions on in order to mislead the Mid-Eastern forces into letting the group inside the trenches.

After destroying the trenches, Annie and Harry would push forward across the canal separating the trenches from the rest of Fort Izu. With the bridge raised, one of them was forced to jump the wide canal in order to lower it for the Marley troops to cross. Despite her superior physicality, Annie allowed Harry to make the jump, though she appeared concerned for his safety, subsequently glad when he made it across without trouble.

This reveal of emotion from Annie would result in her opening up to Harry, revealing that it was her birthday the day of the battle. The emotions coming from the knowledge of future killings, as well as her father's influence on her in the past, resulting in Annie melting down in tears. She is comforted by Harry, who allows her to sleep during the battle while they waited for the rest of their team to arrive from the trench.

Once the group arrived, Harry developed a plan to enter Fort Izu through the guise of ambassadors. Annie and the rest of Team 53 venture into the Fort while Pieck Finger stayed behind to lay charges against the outer wall. Here, they speak openly with the general leading the Mid-Eastern forces, threatening him in the hopes for a possible surrender. The Mid-Eastern Forces do not surrender, but instead capture the team. This capture is hindered when the charges - planted by Pieck - detonate, blowing away the far wall. Team 53 attacked, eliminating many Mid-Eastern soldiers before capturing Fort Izu. This event also revealed Harry Potter's magical abilities, something that would be utilized often in the future.

In the three years following the battle, Annie would continue to improve her skills, growing as a soldier in the Marleyan government. Despite their rough start, Annie and Harry would bond after their shared moments in the Battle of Izu. They would form a close friendship, talking day and night when they were not training. They even found a spot outside of Fort Tatakai, deep in the forest, where they could communicate without being overheard.

In 843, Annie and the other Warriors would be given their Titans. Annie received the Female Titan. Reiner Braun the Armored Titan, Bertholdt Hoover the Colossal Titan, Pieck Finger the Cart Titan, and Marcel Galliard the Jaw Titan. Harry Potter and Porco Galliard did not receive Titans, but were instead chosen to be replacements for the Armored and Jaw Titans respectively, though Harry was chosen to inherit the Founding Titan once it was retrieved from Paradis Island.

During this time, Annie and Harry's conversations outside of Fort Tatakai would take on a new direction. Politics. They would discuss the events transpiring in Marley, as well as the corruption in the system itself. They vowed to fix Marley and the rest of the world, believing that it could only be done by sabotaging Marley, restoring Eldia, and reuniting the world under one singular vision. Expansion. This belief was spearheaded by Harry's belief in the stars and their benefit for the future of humanity as a whole. Annie, supporting Harry and his plans, vowed to help him carry it out.

The same year, the Battle for the Fortress would occur. Here, Annie would once again follow the commands of Harry Potter as he led them into the Fort. This time, they entered through magical means, with Harry making the Warriors unnoticeable to those of the opposing side. The Warriors successfully entered the Hizuru Fortress, wasting no time in turning the tides of the fight in their favor. While Annie, Reiner, Pieck, and Marcel transformed into their Titan forms, Harry, Porco, and Bertholdt took to fighting on the ground.

As the Female Titan, Annie took down the west wall from the left while Reiner demolished the wall from the right side. Pieck's Cart Titan made quick work of the North Wall's artillery, with Marcel's Jaw doing the same to the south wall. With only the East Wall remaining, Annie and the others converged to take down the last form of defense. Their progress was hindered, however, when an outburst by Harry Potter created a maelstrom of elements. A ring of fire, fiery wind, a tornado of rocks, and a flood of water destroyed what was left of the Fortress, as well as the Warriors' Titan forms.

Annie, positioning herself in the eye of the storm, escaped her titan and dropped down to Harry's side, attempting to comfort him. Pieck Finger did the same, with Marcel and Porco doing the same after some time. Their comfort eventually led do the maelstrom's end, though the extensive damage done to Harry by two gunshot wounds - one bullet and a plethora of shotgun pellet wounds - forced him unconscious. Harry would later have his left leg amputated.

The Warriors began to work on the Restoration project while Harry remained in a comatose state. Despite only family or officers being able to enter the infirmary, Annie managed to sneak in at least once in order to see Harry, though whether she went back afterward is unknown. When Harry awoke, Annie was happy to see him, though she kept this too herself in front of the others, instead demonstrating it to him by casually leaning against him, something she only did with him.

After a month of cleaning up the damage done during the battle, the Warriors were allow to return home. Here, Annie reunited with her father. Despite their rough history, they seemed to get along. Annie continued to conspire with Harry about his plans for the future, though the two would be caught by Pieck Finger, who confessed to spying on the two for several months. Instead of outing them to the Marley Public Security, Pieck decides to join their efforts, also believing in Harry's plans for expansion.

In the following month, Annie and Pieck would work closely in order to develop and create a prosthetic leg capable of withstanding substantial amounts of damage. They achieved this through using tungsten alloy alongside strengthened steel. Using the forger in the barn outside of Annie's home, the two created the prosthetic. Pieck would then surprised Harry with it somewhere in Liberio. Thankful, he would later hug Annie, which despite their closeness surprised Annie.
