## Personality

Eren would be described as strong headed. He shows from the beining an intense hatred for the Titans and seems to be determined to kill as many as possible. It's also shown that he has a lot of perseverance, though most strong headed people have this trait present. He shows a deep caring for his family and friends. This is seen in many times and it is this caring that drives him to get recruited for the Training Corps in hopes of becoming part of the Survey Corps.

Its seen that he develops a scornful attitude to anyone content to live and die within the Wall's confines. He resented both the Walls that "caged" them in like cattle and those who gave up on setting a foot outside of them. Due to this he regards the Survey Corps as heroes despite their repeated failures and losses. Like many children, he tended to view the world in terms of black-and-white; having great compassion for humanity, but deeming those individuals who deny others their freedom as worthless scum unfit to be left alive.
Following his mother's death these traits are the ones that are most developed as well as his hatred towards Titans.

## ==History==

Eren was born in the Shiganshina District of Wall Maria to Carla Yeager and Grisha Yeager. From a young age he dreamed about seeing what was beyond the walls. He along with Armin where regarded as heretics, due to the religion that regarded the walls as a gift from god)Wallists[1]).
At the age of nine he saved a nine year old Mikasa from being sold into slavery. After this the Yaegar/Jaeger family adopted Mikasa into their family.

They recieve instruction from Keith Shadis. Eren then meets Jean, Marco. Jean makes fun of him and his purpose to join the Survey Corps, accusing Eren of being suicidal. Eren does not admire Jean's wish to enlist into the Military Police. The next day they are seen training in with the vertical maneuvering equipment. Eren proves to be quite incompetent at the begining however he later masters it and in the year 850 graduates in the top ten of the 104th Training Corps

After being assigned to clean the canons, the [Colossal Titan] makes an appearance, once again breaking the walls of Wall Rose. After a failed attempt at killing him Eren heads out into the battlefield. Eren is grouped with Armin, however after seeing Thomas, a cadet of the 104th Training Corps he becomes enraged and attacks, only to have his leg bitten off below the knee, incapacitating him. The rest of his group attacks and dies as a result. After sacrificing himself to save Armin he gets eaten by the Bearded Titan. Within the stomach of the Bearded Titan, Eren saw all the dead/dying soldiers, one wanting her mother before sinking inside stomach acid. He then remembered his goal, thus triggering the transformation into the [Attack Titan]. Then he proceeds to murder the titans around him. Eren falls to the ground and his human form emerges from the back of [Attack Titan]. The military intends to kill Eren, thinking him an enemy, however he is saved when Commander Dot Pixis intervenes and orders Weilman to stand down. A plan is made for Eren to use his Titan form to move a huge boulder they had planned to use to reseal Trost's gate to prevent Titans from further entering. However upon his transformation to execute the plan he attacks Mikasa. Eren ends wounded himself and his body failed to regenerate, the mission was declared a failure, however Armin arrives on the scene and tries to get through to Eren, succeeding and causing Eren to remember how he wanted to join the Survey Corps, and destroy all the Titans. However when Eren transforms back into his human form they are exposed, however they are saved by [Levi Ackerman].
