Attack on Titan (manga)/Characters

Grisha Yeager
"Eren. Behave while I'm gone and I'll let you in on what I've been doing in the cellar."

- Grisha Yeager

Eren's Father. He is a doctor. In an off hand manner Hannes says that Dr. Yeager "single handedly spared us from the plague". Unlike Eren's mother, he voiced no opposition to Eren's desire to join the scouts. Probably the most important thing about him is the enigmatic and important project that Grisha has been working on in the basement/cellar.

Kalura Yeager
Eren's mom. She strongly objected to Eren's decision to join the scouts, which, especially at that time, had a notoriously high mortality rate.
 * Death by Origin Story
 * Missing Mom

Eren Yeager
"Eren Yeager: lack luster in the class room. Marginally better in the field. But, driven by a sense of purpose that's almost terrifying."

- Drill Sargent

Eren's most defining characteristics are his stubbornness, hatred for Titans, and desire to secure mankind's existence outside the walls.
 * Determinator: Eren is portrayed as this, but he doesn't count if you consider willing to think things through as a requirement.

Armin Arlert

 * The Smart Guy

Mikasa Ackerman

 * Determinator: One of Last Requests was that she look after Eren. We later find out that this isn't the only reason she looks after him so closely. Admittedly, she does give up at one point, but still keeps fighting "Eren, as long as you're a part of my life, I can fight to the bitter end."


 * : This is why she was around Eren so much in the first episode..

Hange Zoe

 * Mad Scientist: A heroic example.
