**Aurelia Tybur** (エマリンタイバー *Emarintaibā*) is the current leader of Marley and Liberio. She is also the de facto ruler of the Engel Associated Corporations of Trade(E.A.C.T) and the last remaining member of the Engel family. She was raised on the Tybur Family Estate in the Marleyan capital city of Aplille before escaping to Paradis Island. She goes on to create and lead the Emergency Operations Squad within the Survey Corps

Shortly after arriving in Paradis she is attacked by a titan and contracts amnesia, she met Grisha Jeager and his family, who took her in and told her everything he knew about her and taught her how to live inside the walls, she then took on the identity of **Rose Engel** (ローズエンゲル*Rōzuengeru*). After which she became a citizen of Shiganshina before entering the military service as a member of the 102nd Training Corps.

Later on she graduated as the best soldier within the class and joined the Survey Corps. She eventually becomes the leader of the , becoming an important asset to the Survey Corps after rediscovering she's the War Hammer Titan, later acting as a peacekeeper between the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers and the Survey Corps.

## Appearance

While she's known as Rose, Aurelia dyes her hair a dark brown color which she usually has tied back in a low bun. She is a petite woman with narrow gray eyes, a heart shaped face and a prosthetic lower leg. She is noted to be a very beautiful woman; this along with her cold attitude towards the other cadets caused her classmates to refer to her as the "Ice Queen of Shiganshina". Its shown that many of the other cadets find her scary and are off-put by her emotionless demeanor. While training and on missions she wears her hair in a low ponytail and dons her running blade instead of her normal prosthetic leg.

As Aurelia she is a petite woman with a prosthetic on her lower right leg, having lost it before arriving on Paradis. She has long blonde hair, narrow blue-gray eyes, and a heart-shaped face similar to her younger sister Historia Reiss. She is a beautiful yet apathetic woman who is nicknamed "Fallen Goddess" by the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers for her resemblance to a fairytale Goddess named Aphrodite. Many of her fellow Survey Corps members fear her for her aim with a gun and her knowledge of Titans. She is only ever seen wearing a modified version of the Training Corps uniform, with the right boot being shorter and having straps on it to tighten it around her leg.

Following the arrival of the Beast Titan and the return of her memories, Rose begins to use her original name and alters her usual attire to reflect her status as a noblewoman. She stops dying her hair and starts to wear her hair in an elaborately braided bun with a neat side part, her bangs are pulled and clipped behind her left ear. Her usual outfit becomes the normal Survey Corps uniform with the shirt and pants replaced with a navy button-up and navy pants with the right leg cut to accommodate for her prosthetic leg and her boots from the Training Corps uniform. When speaking with Yelena and Onyankopon about forming an alliance she wears a floor-length brown skirt with a white blouse embroidered with a rose chain.

## Personality

While Rose, she is very reserved, often letting her own anxieties and regrets control her thinking leading to destructive behaviors. Armin later notes that Rose seems to be a front and is likely a façade due to her amnesia. She later discovers a natural talent with guns, with her being able to shoot something without having to completely focus on it. It is later uncovered that Grisha Yeager knew exactly who she was and what she was capable of doing but neglected to tell her, causing her to resent him for hiding things from her.

The strongest manifestation of this behavior is Emma's desire to punish Eren for his father's actions. A prime example is when she offers him as bait for the Titans outside the walls by hanging him over the edge and demanding he repent for his father's sins. She later moves on past this and is able to make peace with Eren after seeing his determination to undo Grisha's mistakes. She later finds conflict with Erwin Smith over his disregard for the Survey Corps members' lives, even going as far as to threaten to overthrow him if he went through with his idea for a suicide squad.

After recovering her memories due to reuniting with her old friends, Emma begins to spiral out of control mentally, developing OCD from her childhood traumas and from the stress of trying to be Aurelia and Rose at the same time. After the battle for Shiganshina she is able to bond with Levi Ackerman who shared many of her traumas. During her time in leading the Emergency Operations Squad she is able to slowly heal and starts to trust in her own abilities. Eventually making peace with her past and getting engaged to her boyfriend Erwin Smith.

Just like her Rose persona, Emma is very reserved by nature and tends to keep to herself even when in the company of people she trusts. The only person she acts freely around is Levi due to mutual trust and his ability to keep a level head. Though as Emma she proves to be emotionally volatile and tends to get angry not only easily but often, which can combine with her sadistic tendencies to make her a terrifying foe. She tends to lose her temper over things that she personally finds important, like when she loses her temper over Fritz accusing Erwin Smith of murder, leading to her killing him and laughing at him when he begs for mercy.

Unlike her Rose persona, Aurelia greatly enjoys drinking and will take any chance offered to get drunk. She often ropes the other adults of the Survey Corps into drinking with her and enjoys drinking games such as King's Cup. She also takes the chance to learn as much as she can about the other Survey Corps members to use as blackmail later on, most frequently she blackmails Erwin since she knows him the best.
