Annie Leonhart is a major character in the popular manga Attack on Titan. She is also a formidable Warrior of Marley, one of the main antagonists of the series. To get to know her better, here are ten secrets about Annie Leonhart that you may not know:
1. Although she appears to be stoic and emotionally distant, Annie actually has strong feelings for her comrades who are part of the Warriors of Marley. She will go out of her way to protect them from harm and show compassion when needed.
2. Annie’s biggest goal is to avenge her father who was killed in action as a warrior. This motivates her actions throughout much of the manga as she seeks vengeance against Paradis Island and all its inhabitants like Eren and Armin.
3. Using her Titan powers, Annie can transform into the Female Titan which makes her one of the most powerful characters in the series. Her titan form is fast, strong and able to regenerate itself from mortal wounds almost.
4. Despite her fearsome reputation and tough exterior, Annie is actually quite vulnerable and fragile at heart as seen in a few scenes when she breaks down after witnessing death and destruction caused by warfare.
5. When she was enlisted as a Warrior of Marley, it was revealed that her father had been an informant for Marleyans who later became enemies to them due to their ideology differences – something which Annie harbored guilt over for many years.
6. During the Battle of Liberio, Annie was able to make her way out of a fight between Eren and Reiner Braun by producing an extremely high pitched scream that disrupted everyone’s perception for a few seconds – giving her enough time to escape.
7. Although she is able to transform into the Female Titan, Annie has opted not to do so since learning about the consequences it could have on her life and those around her. As such, she rarely uses this form unless absolutely necessary.
8. Before joining Marley’s military forces as a Warrior, Annie was actually enrolled in college studying architecture – another testament to how intelligent and multi-talented she is.
9. After being captured by Paradis Island forces, Annie was taken to the island’s capital city where she managed to escape and make her way back to Marley by infiltrating ships.
10. Despite all the hatred and hurt that has been exchanged between Marley and Paradis Island in recent years, it is implied that Annie still holds a soft spot for Eren and Armin – which could be a sign of things yet to come in future chapters of Attack on Titan.
