Annie Leonhart

Lore & Background

Annie's secret was exposed following a confrontation with Eren and his companions during an expedition into the forest between the walls. There, they encountered the sentient Female Titan, which was later revealed to be Annie herself. After a fierce battle where she fought to protect her identity, Annie found herself cornered by Eren and his friends. In a desperate move to avoid capture or death, she utilized her unique ability as a Titan Shifter: hardening certain parts of her body at will. She encased her entire form in crystal, creating an impenetrable barrier that left her trapped in a state of suspended animation. This act occurred after she was defeated and put into custody by the Survey Corps, marking the end of her active infiltration on Paradis Island.

In Their Own Story

During the expedition between the walls, Eren and his companions encountered the sentient Female Titan, which engaged them in combat. The battle revealed that the Titan's true identity was their fellow military comrade, Annie Leonhart. Following this revelation, Eren fought and defeated her. Unable to overcome the odds or escape without being captured by the Survey Corps, Annie made a fateful decision. She activated her hardening ability, encasing herself in crystal. This self-imprisonment left her preserved within the crystal structure, effectively removing her from the immediate conflict while she awaited a rescue that had not yet occurred.
