"Remember the hope we felt when we looked at the sight beyond those old cracked walls we lived in? -That little valley glowing with sunlight. Remember the day we had to depart to lands unknown and how we all anticipated each others' return? How young we were, and shabby, we've never been the battle type. We had no choice and we knew that. We've been alone in a million places, our bodies bore the scars of war. We walked through sunshine and rain, we slept in mud and rest on guns, but in our hearts.. I would always hold the picture of you that you gave me, that little oval frame I've put around my neck. Those smiles on a tiny photograph, I could always feel the warmth of its colors. I wished I could be somewhere else with you, to that valley glowing with sunlight, that place we dreamed of walking, me and you. I wanted you to know that, for us who were called to die, We may live on once we're gone, If you remember us with time, we will live on We will live on.. ” A Group of Special People. I am so happy to finally share with you the AoT group photo! I worked so much on this project and I truly enjoyed creating each part of it. I want to thank Ana Martinez from Las Vegas, for being so supportive during the past months. She is one of the few people who saw the process of this artwork since the beginning. In time we shared so many thoughts and emotions for this story and its characters. Each character is special to us and each one is special for different reasons. I'm glad that I am able to share the same passion for this story with people across the world. Thank you Ana! ❤️

“Our bodies full of scars Infinite blood to bleed When there's no hope left We will not fall Among the giants we still stand tall And we will not be stopped.“ The glorious 14th Commander of the Survey Corps, Hange Zoe! The true Queen of the Titans! Hange dedicated her life as a Titan researcher, she spent day after day investigating Titans with no regard to personal safety and she conducted countless experiments on them out of an intense passion to learn their biology. Hange believed that the research contributes to the Survey Corps and that this act also serves in its way, to revenge her fallen comrades. As Erwin said, Hange's intelligence illuminates humanity's future, an indispensable talent to the Survey Corps as it fights on the front lines against the Titans. During Eren's Titan experiments, she created a new weapon, the Thunder Spears in order to take down the Armored Titan. As someone who values the truth more than anything else, Hange was willing to fight anything or anyone if it means getting closer to the truth. She was named the new Commander of the Survey Corps, upon Erwin's dying wishes. Hange's final stand would be fairly described as the Wings of Freedom, as she used her own “Wings” to fly even higher than 60m up in the sky, above a Colossal Titan's height. Hange is the only Veteran so far in Humanity's history, that took down three Colossal Titans and she defeated these massive beings with her own inventions, the Thunder Spears. Shinzou wo Sasageyo!

"Eren, thank you for teaching me.. how to live." The beautiful Mikasa Ackerman. Aside from the Ackerman bloodline bond that we know in the manga, that makes one a shield to an Eldian, I wrote a character analysis about Mikasa but I'm referring only to true emotions that she has towards Eren. In a world that changes so fast where morality is slowly fading, being replaced by cruelty and madness, to understand that you are even alive and find your own self, unfortunately you have to go through pain. There are moments in life when an emotion is strongly overflowing inside us, that sometimes it defines our own existence. Be it fear, sadness or anger, that emotion in an intense situation can completely change us and when that happens, we are never the same again. This is the kind of experience Mikasa had in a very young age. Mikasa was a victim of human trafficking at the age of 9, her parents were murdered right in front of her and she was kidnapped. As she was tied down unable to do anything without any will left, miraculously hope appeared, when Eren Yeager aimed to save her without second thought. Eren took out two of the three traffickers, but Mikasa barely noticed Eren's presence as she was shattered and lost by the traumatic experience she just been through. When Eren freed her, the third man appeared, he caught Eren and was about to choke him to death. With every strength he had, Eren called Mikasa to stand and fight but Mikasa was shaking in fear, experiencing once again a brutal moment as hope once again was about to become loss until Eren called her again to fight. Hearing his words, something awoke inside Mikasa and what awoke was Courage. A moment that defined her existence, understanding that her life matters and she must fight for, a moment when she understood that in this cruel world, you have to stand strong in order to survive. She had complete self control and she was able to take the man out. After everything ended, Mikasa was taken care of by Eren's father, Grisha Yeager. " Dr. Yeager. Where do I go from here? I'm cold.. I don't.. have a home anymore." After a traumatic experience like this, how could someone feel? Losing a whole world with everything that felt so warm and familiar. Now standing all alone, numb, in a world so cruel and cold, knowing that those familiar voices will never be heard again, that those familiar faces will never be seen again, knowing that you can never go back. When it hurts to remember, when mind and body breaks, how can someone continue? How does someone start again? After hearing those words, Eren approached her and wrapped his scarf around her to make her feel warm. With that heartwarming move, Mikasa's conscience started slowly to wake. It was the first thing that Mikasa felt in a new world that she started living in and that was Tenderness. Eren was the first person she saw in this new world. "Let's go home. To our home." these were the words that gave meaning to Mikasa's life. The first words that she heard in this new world that brought sentimental tears in her eyes, she started feeling safe and warm once again. Eren gave her a reason to breathe. Having him by her side, Mikasa slowly healed in time and the emotions she felt for Eren started to overflow inside her, emotions that she wants them to keep forever. That warm feeling of safety that only "Home" can give, in her heart "Home" now is Eren, his voice is the only voice her heart can recognize and she honors him with everything. "In this world.. I've got a place to go home to. Eren.. as long as you're around, I can do anything." Based on Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan character, Mikasa Ackerman.
The next characters are Pieck and Galliard! The best fighting duet of the Warrior Unit!
Pieck and Galliard are two of the strongest Warriors of the Marleyan army, they always fought in the front lines by each other's side using the power of their Titans.
Pieck was leading the Panzer Unit, using the power of the Cart Titan equipped with fully functional battle armor with four machine gun turrets manned by Marleyan soldiers and later in the battle of Shiganshina District, her Titan was equipped with anti-Titan artillery cannon manned by General Theo Magath.
Galliard with the power of the Jaw Titan was an Assault Unit, as this Titan's small size makes it the swiftest of all. Its powerful claws and jaws can crush just about anything!
" I don't trust Marley. I want Eldians to be freed. But I do trust those who've fought beside me. " — Pieck declares her loyalties to Gabi Braun Based on Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan characters.
“Each one of the Nine Titans has a name. That includes the one you’re about to inherit from me. In every Era, this Titan has always moved ahead seeking Freedom. It has fought for Freedom. It’s name is, the Attack Titan.”
The Legendary Eren Kruger, the “Owl”.
A piece of history which will always live in the ‘Paths’, marked in the memories of each inheritor, a reminder of a flaming vow that will stay lit through the deepest of times.
Founder of Eldia Restoration, and one of the holders of the Attack Titan power, which he passed on to Grisha Yeager, trusting him to fulfill his vow and bring the Eldian Empire back to power.
5th of April is stated as Eren Kruger’s date of birth in the Snk fandom. 🦉
The one who has always moved ahead seeking Freedom, the Attack Titan!
"I came from beyond the Walls, where humanity enjoys a refined existence. Humanity has not perished. As I considered where I ought to begin.. that day came unbidden into my mind. The day in my youth, when I was forced to face the truth of this world."
The Yeager Family.
Grisha Yeager, was an Eldian doctor who originated from the Liberio internment zone in Marley, and was one of the Eldian Restorationists. He was married to Dina Fritz and had a son named Zeke.
Chosen by fate, Grisha was freed the day of his execution by Eren Kruger, the "Owl", and Eren entrusted to him the power of the Attack Titan, in order to restore the Eldian Empire and free its people from slavery.
With the power of one of the Nine Titans, Grisha Yeager reached to the Walls of Paradis, and settled in Shiganshina District, where he re-married to Carla Yeager and had a second son, named Eren Yeager. He also adopted Mikasa Ackerman in the year 844.
Return to Shiganshina Arc:
Years passed since Grisha Yeager left many mysteries behind and questions unanswered.The Survey Corps reached the basement of the Yeager household after countless battles to find the answers of the world. Grisha left hidden three books in that basement. Within the first book, the Survey Corps found an uncannily realistic image of Grisha standing beside a fair-haired woman and young child. Upon the back of the image, Grisha had left a message stating that it was not a drawing, but the light of the objects shown burned onto special paper called a Photograph. Grisha's note revealed that humanity beyond the Walls lives in refinement, far from extinct. He documented the details about Eldia, Marley, the Titans and his past. The books later go on to tell the story of his past life outside the Walls, beginning with the day his sister Faye Yeager was killed.
The 14th Commander of the Survey Corps, Hange Zoe.
Hange is the current Commander of the Survey Corps, named so by Erwin Smith before his death. She is also a former Squad Leader, who was in charge of the Fourth Squad, having the duties of innovative inventing and research on Titans along with the help of her faithful comrade, Moblit Berner. In her research was also included Eren Yeager who has the ability to transform into a Titan. Hange is an energetic person, a freethinking researcher with a very unique way of conducting herself and her work, through her rather observant and objective character. She shows great compassion for her Titan test subjects. But as the threat of the enemy becomes much more severe, Hange less frequently shows her lighthearted nature, often becoming blunt and serious. However, she still displays great empathy towards others in general, as well as high sympathy for the dead and the suffering.
" Eldia shall rule this world with its Titans. And they shall continue to reign forever. Forever, so long as our reign knows no end. "
One of the Nine Titans of the Eldian Empire, the War Hammer.
