Canon: Attack on Titan
Canon Point: end of Episode 25, after she's put herself in a coma in a crystal
Age: 16

Setting:
In a world abso-fucking-lutely nothing like our own, except for the things that are, humanity lived in strife and war and all kinds of bad things. Not much more than 100 years ago, however, humanity was beset upon by creatures called titans, and it all went horribly awry. Titans, of course, being creatures of assorted sizes that look like grotesque giant humans sans genitalia that are anywhere near 3 to 60 meters in height, with most of them ranging from 3 to 15 meters. Where did they come from? No one knows, though it’s been theorized by characters that it was a method of uniting humanity and stopping wars. What do they want?
TO EAT HUMANS.
That’s it, apparently. They have a strong prey drive and no actual reason to do it. They ignore other creatures that aren’t humans, and they ignore the dead as well. In addition, titans lack a digestive tract and must regurgitate the remains in order to keep eating people. It’s hungry, hungry hippos in creepy human-shaped form, and people are the tiny little balls on the game board. They have their weaknesses, but they’re unfortunately few. Most go dormant without sunlight, and there is a 1m x 10cm area on the neck that can be cut out in order to kill them. Unfortunately, otherwise, they’re effectively immortal and will regenerate any damage done to them if that area isn’t destroyed. There are exceptions. Abnormal or aberrant titans behave in a manner inconsistent with the overall whole, and do erratic things as opposed to mindless slavering and attraction to groups of humans.
Humanity lost every single battle against the overwhelming might of the mindless titans, and ultimately the known remnants retreated into a kingdom roughly the size of Texas protected by three concentric circles of walls. Resource rich, humankind was able to recover as best it could over the years. It formed a monarchy with a king, and a highly stratified society—lower classes, agriculture, and the like existing on the outermost districts protected by the Wall Maria. The middle area, protected by Wall Rose has a similar existence. Finally, there is the center protected by Wall Sina where the nobility and the richest and most powerful people live. Religion is almost completely dead, though there are idol worship cults that believe the walls are holy and/or goddesses. Technology is not consistent and barely existent, any modern conveniences just aren’t a thing—this is a society where horses are the best transportation available and candles are your ideal light source. Notably, rudimentary manufacturing technology exists as well as natural-gas powered motors, but humanity is primarily in a dark age. There also exists their best method of fighting the titans, the 3D maneuvering gear (3DMG), a technology that allows for ridiculously acrobatic and gymnastic maneuvers in order to scale heights and strike against titan weak spots.
The military is also stratified, in the sense that it has three branches. The Military Police Brigade is the center of power, corrupt and acting to collect taxes and perform other major duties as well as keep the peace and is the refuge of the elite. Beneath its command is the Garrison that guards and maintains the walls, and has the largest force. Last is the Survey Corps, that explores and attempts to find ways to research the titans as well as figure out how to retake lost land. People within that last branch are often considered to be rather crazy.
A grim reminder struck in the form of a very big titan kicking in the outermost wall’s gate. That colossal reminder was, in reality, a third type of titan unknown by the masses. Titan shifters, people with the appearance of humans but the ability to form titan bodies, lived outside of the wall and sent three young children to commit genocide. What is known about them is that they live outside the walls and apart from humanity and that they’re in just as much or more danger from certain kinds of titans. From what some characters say, they believe that either the destruction of humanity or the discovery of something called a Coordinate that could control titans would be what could save them. There also appears to be another titan faction that's distinctly furry and intelligent, but nothing is known about them so far in the series. If this seems unnecessarily mysterious, it’s because more information is literally just not available.
There are three major events that Annie had influence in that drastically affect the world. She was one of the perpetrators of the fall of Wall Maria and the subsequent death of 20% of the population. By acting in concert with her two cohorts, they destroyed the gates that protected the Wall Maria from the titans outside. It’s easy to theorize that she used her powers to call the mindless titans to converge on her location in order to make sure that titans overran the district once the gate was broken down. Merging into the population of refugees, they set themselves up to join the military two years later and then spent the next three years training to become soldiers for humanity in order to act as moles.
Their next opportunity to act was upon graduation from three years of basic training. Utilizing much the same method on the second wall, Wall Rose, titans overran the Trost District. It isn’t nearly as easy for them this time, and they do not complete the plan to breach Wall Rose completely. However, they irrevocably alter human history in that this is the battle in which humans win a battle against titans for the first time. The third is when she’s discovered as a titan shifter and engages in battle in the Stohess District, a town within the upper class Wall Sina, in which she reveals that the walls are actually made of titans standing shoulder to shoulder that used a power to form powerful walls.
Personality:
Annie is a multilayered character that has been in a series of unfortunate circumstances since early childhood, and her experiences have critically hampered her emotional and social development. The most common impression gotten from Annie is one of a cold figure that largely stands aloof of her comrades. At the age of 13, she joined the military and it’s important to note that she and her fellow children were always expected to act as if they have the responsibilities of adults. During her three years in basic training, she garnered a reputation for being unsociable. Their drill instructor, in particular, considered her easily one of the best combatants in the group and described her form in combat as flawless, but her apparent inability to commit to teamwork knocked her ranking down to 4th out of 218 surviving trainees. Beneath that is a girl raised from childhood to commit genocide against the very people she becomes attached to, having set out from her homeland at the age of 11 to act as a mole within humanity’s military structure. She’s a girl that ultimately doesn’t want to be what she is, but never knew any other way out of what she was raised to believe was absolutely necessary.
Described as the kind of person that often looks either angry or bored, she very deliberately isolated herself from others to the point that not many people braved her façade in an effort to befriend her. She seems to be prone to extreme bluntness when she does speak up, referring to a girl that she has something of a rivalry with as a ‘beast’ and saying such things like how she would never want to become just a worthless soldier. Despite her often antagonistic nature and deliberate attempts at social isolation, as well as the fact that she tends rather distinctly towards selfishness, she still ultimately ends up with something of a social circle. During training, she even seems to have made friends with some of the other girls . Even so, she’s apparently a dedicated slacker that deliberately avoided assignments that aren’t worth much to her class ranking during training and expressed a desire to gain her ranking in order to take on an assignment known for its easy lifestyle as part of the Military Police Brigade. Even so, she openly admitted the hypocrisy and the sheer stupidity of the best soldiers getting the cushiest jobs.
There’s much more to her, of course. That bored, disengaged front that she puts up is one that is accurately pegged by seasoned soldiers and some more observant people to be a response to great trauma and having experienced the horrors of seeing the titans in action. She exhibits a symptoms of PTSD and disassociation like most characters in the series, and her avoidant behavior is more characteristic of a mental disorder than any true disinterest. And, after the battle in the Trost District, it’s just assumed by others that she’s not been capable of recovering from the trauma experienced there. Despite this, she takes an unusually vivid interest in people that have great passion for something. These kinds of people, ones she considers exceptional people, are the sort that she admires. During training, impressed by how Eren Yeager stood up for his unpopular beliefs, she even convinced him to let her train him in her signature style of hand-to-hand combat. Her interactions with Eren display that she’s willing to open up to others in rare situations, even if she lies to him sometimes, and it’s noted that she only really seems to come alive in battle. She has also come to the defense of a self-righteous squadmate that had gotten himself into trouble because he was standing up for what he believed in, both verbally and physically even though she’s entirely aware that she risks more than she can afford to lose by doing so.
In reality, Annie feels completely out of control and exhibits learned helplessness in the face of challenges. Though she’s a capable soldier and amazingly talented combatant, she repeatedly asserts that she’s incapable of doing anything but going along with what others want. Given that she was trained from likely very early childhood by her father to go on a mission against humanity, she had little chance to develop her own unique identity and form normal relationships like a young girl should. Her training was rigid and clearly designed to make her a capable killer. It’s something that she shows repeatedly throughout the series in her titan form, killing soldiers efficiently but brutally. She expresses an awareness of her lack of independence, and her attraction to those that stand up and go against the flow is evident. Even so, when she thinks back to her homeland, she wants to return in order to be with her father again as he asserted to her that he was the only person that would always be on her side no matter how much of the world she made hate her. This is her major motivation throughout the series as an antagonist even when it becomes evident that she’s been working her way towards an emotional and psychological breakdown.
Given that she was eleven when the children were sent out to attack the Wall Maria, Annie wasn’t prepared for the implications of committing genocide. After they destroy the Wall Maria, she was first truly exposed to what humanity was as they blended in with refugees and took advantage of the confusion. Their actions led to the death of 20% of the human population and reduced its territory by a third, exposing her to the horrible aftermath of the massacre. This is made worse over the years after she bonds with other trainees in the very military that she was infiltrating to destroy from the inside out. While all of her other traits appear to be legitimate, beneath them is a heavy foundation of guilt and trauma. The 104th Training Corps had the first humans in her life that had ever been truly kind to her, that accepted her, and she became attached to them against her wishes. Tortured by her guilt, she has repeated episodes of heavy guilt when people that she has attachment to are killed. Notably, her moral limits are fairly strictly defined—she kills soldiers that she doesn’t know or have any reason to like with absolutely no mercy and sometimes even with a grin, but is horrified by the fact that a church was destroyed in her battle and couldn’t bring herself to directly kill someone that had been kind to her. Towards the end, she’s admitted that she just wants to be able to be seen as human despite it all and being revealed to be a mole left her with a sense of hysterical relief. Ultimately, she’s a child soldier who was supposed to be a key element in the genocide of an entire race, and it’s left her immensely damaged as a result.
Annie’s response to arriving in game isn’t going to be the most productive one. Given her canon point, she’s completely lost in every way and has nothing left back where she comes from. By her own understanding, she’d effectively attempted to commit the functional equivalent to putting herself into a coma in order to avoid interrogation when she was captured. More than that, the lack of technology and magic of her world will make everything seem that much more mystifying to her. Her goal will be to assimilate among the foreigner population as a human and to protect her secrets. More likely than not, she’ll adopt a story of being a normal MP from her world and try to continue on in that fashion for as long as she can get away with it.
Appearance: Standing at 5’ and weighing 120lbs, Annie has a small but particularly muscular build. She is blonde with blue eyes and a tendency to wear hooded sweatshirts and other loose attire.
Abilities:
Ranked 4th in the 104th Training Corps at graduation, Annie is known for her flawless strike form and is considered one of the most formidable users of the 3DMG in battle. However, her tendency to act as a lone wolf makes her ill-suited for the kind of teamwork that makes those tactics successful on a wide scale. In addition, she is one of the absolute best in hand-to-hand combat in the series and has a signature fighting style that revolves around being able to take down much stronger or larger opponents through speed and utilizing the opponent’s weaknesses and own body against them. There’s only one person that appears to rival her in this area besides, possibly, her father who had taught her in the first place. The guidebook ranks her as such:
Battle Skill 10/10
Initiative 7/10
Strategy 7/10
Teamwork 3/10
Secrecy 10/10
More importantly, Annie is a titan shifter. That is, she’s able to transform herself into a 14 meter tall monstrosity that looks a great deal like a woman without any skin. No, seriously. She’s considered one of the deadliest titans in existence, her speed, and brutal efficiency in mowing down enemies is unparalleled. Her abilities include a healing factor that she can use selectively (tied to her stamina at the time and also available to her in human form). She has a measure of control over mindless titans as well, able to call them to converge on an area. In addition, she has the ability to form an impenetrable crystalline structure over parts of her body to use temporarily as armor or a weapon. She also used this crystal ability after being defeated in order to encase her human form entirely in it so her enemies wouldn’t be able to interrogate her. Also, unlike other titan shifters, she appears to be able to make use of her ability to shift more frequently.
Power 6/10
Speed 8/10
Armor 10/10
Battle Skill 11/10
Inventory: Annie will come in with her Military Police uniform, 3DMG gear and weaponry, and nothing else.
Suite: Wood sector, preferably a 3 level suite or a 2 level one. The more rustic nature of the area would suit a girl from an area devoid of advanced technology, and I’d like her to have more space because it’s not something she’s ever had the chance to experience for herself. ALSO, PLEASE PUT HER ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE BUILDING ARMIN AND EREN LIVE IN. Someone might die otherwise.

Third Person:
Between dreaming and death, was it?
Annie isn't dressed right for the chill of winter, but it's no surprise when she's barely had a chance to so much as get herself settled. The strangers, the kedan, had explained a great deal that she wasn't ready to understand yet. It was nonsensical in many ways, really. Death, she doubts, would be as soft as this place seemed to be when she had failed in every possible way.
A world where nothing exists to recognize her certainly seems like a dream.
Most of the people here don't look quite like humans, and more notable is the fact that no one seems to recognize the unicorn insignia on her uniform. Everything is entirely foreign, and, by all markers, it seems as if she were almost invisible. Children shriek, darting past her as she walks deliberately down along the sidewalk, and for a moment she pauses to watch their movements. A little girl with long blue tentacles pulled into pigtails yells a war cry, shoving a boy into a pile of snow. Carefully, she walks around them, too, her heavy-lidded, almost blank gaze sliding on to the next thing to see. She doesn't engage in anything with anyone, and almost doesn't feel like she can.
If this is a dream, she wonders why she has to still be so very tired.
No longer would Annie be able to complete her mission, she realizes. She had done what her father had assumed inevitable, of course. She had made all the world hate her, and no doubt even her own people will hate her for not being able to accomplish those goals they had everything riding on. Again and again, she'd gotten so close to home. Her reserve cracks suddenly, and she's not even sure why, and she makes a hysteric sound that's only muffled by her own palm against her mouth. She glares at a woman that asks a concerned question she doesn't quite hear, rushing off to duck between two buildings.
It was all over, and she doesn't know what to do now.
With nothing left, there was no direction to head towards. There were no titans. There was no homeland. She could be and do literally anything here.
She could even be thought of as human.
Network:
[ Annie isn’t entirely sure what to make of this technology, for all that the kedan had helpfully explained it to her. Her expression is flat, and military sorts might recognize her gaze as a thousand-yard stare. The silence drags on unreasonably, though she doesn’t give any indication that she thinks it as such. (She doesn’t.) Finally, she speaks: ] Is natural gas available in this place? I need it to fill a certain type of canister.
[ Not that she needs it right now, but she lifts one of the canisters from her 3DMG to show it. It didn’t hurt to look almost helpless in this form to anyone that might know just who she is, nor to those that didn’t yet. ]
Ah, I should ask after my squadmates, shouldn’t I? [ She says it almost as an afterthought, sounding as if she doesn’t care one way or the other. It seems like the right thing for a soldier to do, and they would likely not be here anyway. That she really does wonder what could have happened to them isn't the point. So she introduces herself bluntly: ] Annie Leonhart. Stohess District MP, under acting squad leader Marlowe Fredenburg.
[ Because apparently that should do the trick, right? Terse to a fault in such an unusual situation, she decides that is all she needs to put out there. And, abruptly, she shuts off the feed. ]

It’s hungry, hungry hippos in creepy human-shaped form, and people are the tiny little balls on the game board. They have their weaknesses, but they’re unfortunately few.

There also exists their best method of fighting the titans, the 3D maneuvering gear (3DMG), a technology that allows for ridiculously acrobatic and gymnastic maneuvers in order to scale heights and strike against titan weak spots.
The military is also stratified, in the sense that it has three branches.

Most of the people here don't look quite like humans, and more notable is the fact that no one seems to recognize the unicorn insignia on her uniform. Everything is entirely foreign, and, by all markers, it seems as if she were almost invisible. Children shriek, darting past her as she walks deliberately down along the sidewalk, and for a moment she pauses to watch their movements. A little girl with long blue tentacles pulled into pigtails yells a war cry, shoving a boy into a pile of snow. Carefully, she walks around them, too, her heavy-lidded, almost blank gaze sliding on to the next thing to see. She doesn't engage in anything with anyone, and almost doesn't feel like she can.
If this is a dream, she wonders why she has to still be so very tired.
No longer would Annie be able to complete her mission, she realizes. She had done what her father had assumed inevitable, of course. She had made all the world hate her, and no doubt even her own people will hate her for not being able to accomplish those goals they had everything riding on. Again and again, she'd gotten so close to home. Her reserve cracks suddenly, and she's not even sure why, and she makes a hysteric sound that's only muffled by her own palm against her mouth. She glares at a woman that asks a concerned question she doesn't quite hear, rushing off to duck between two buildings.
It was all over, and she doesn't know what to do now.
With nothing left, there was no direction to head towards. There were no titans. There was no homeland. She could be and do literally anything here.
She could even be thought of as human.

[ Annie isn’t entirely sure what to make of this technology, for all that the kedan had helpfully explained it to her. Her expression is flat, and military sorts might recognize her gaze as a thousand-yard stare. The silence drags on unreasonably, though she doesn’t give any indication that she thinks it as such. (She doesn’t.) Finally, she speaks: ] Is natural gas available in this place? I need it to fill a certain type of canister.
[ Not that she needs it right now, but she lifts one of the canisters from her 3DMG to show it. It didn’t hurt to look almost helpless in this form to anyone that might know just who she is, nor to those that didn’t yet. ]
Ah, I should ask after my squadmates, shouldn’t I? [ She says it almost as an afterthought, sounding as if she doesn’t care one way or the other. It seems like the right thing for a soldier to do, and they would likely not be here anyway. That she really does wonder what could have happened to them isn't the point. So she introduces herself bluntly: ] Annie Leonhart. Stohess District MP, under acting squad leader Marlowe Fredenburg.
[ Because apparently that should do the trick, right? Terse to a fault in such an unusual situation, she decides that is all she needs to put out there. And, abruptly, she shuts off the feed. ]
