Profile
The leader of the volunteers who came over to Zeke's side from inside Marley's own army. She is tall, unhurried and completely lucid, and she talks about the war chief the way other people talk about a god.
She Shot Her Own Commander
Conscripted into Marley's army, she found soldiers who hated it as much as she did and organised them around Zeke as the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers. When the survey ship reached Paradis in 851 and her commanding officer refused to hear Hange out, she killed him where he stood and opened the negotiation herself.
We Will Dine at the Same Table
The Volunteers hand over a stock of Titan serums stolen out of Marley, and Pixis arrests every one of them the moment the crates are down. She is not remotely troubled by it. She tells him that the Volunteers and the Eldians will be eating at the same table again before long, and she turns out to be right about the table if not about the terms.
She Poisoned the Command
The wine arriving on the survey ships was far more than any crew could drink, and her standing order to the Marleyan cooks was that the military's senior officers be served first. Every glass of it carried Zeke's spinal fluid. By the time Nicolo works it out and says so, most of the island's command has been drinking it for months.
The Night She Sold Him the Plan
On the night of a banquet she has Floch put on the door and goes down to Eren alone. What she lays out is Zeke's euthanasia plan in full: royal blood and the Founder in one place, and not one more Subject of Ymir ever born. Eren hears her out and tells her he agrees. She leaves convinced she has won him — and the guard on the door has heard every word.
The Escort Who Was Not Marleyan
The Marleyan soldier who told the Warriors that Magath wanted them, walked Pieck and Galliard into a room and cut the rope under their feet was working for the other side the whole time. On the airship out of Liberio she peels the false goatee off when Levi asks her to, and takes the blame for the two Titans she failed to keep in the hole.
The Meetings Nobody Authorised
Pixis comes to her cell knowing she met Eren alone, with her guard swapped out for Floch on the night of a banquet. She admits the meeting and gives him a reason: she only wanted to push a cautious military into moving. Pixis points out she could have said so to the military. Then he tells her, mildly, that she is a terrible liar.
She Shot Him for Being Rude
With Pixis surrendered and the cells full of Scouts, she comes down to talk. A fellow Marleyan prisoner starts insulting Sasha's memory to needle Nicolo, and she puts a bullet through his head mid-insult, apologises to the cell for his rudeness, pulls up a chair and begins explaining the euthanasia plan as though nothing has happened.
She Would Not Save Her Own Country
Magath asks where Eren will strike first — she is the one who briefed him on the mainland, so she knows. She refuses, which makes no sense to a room that believes she is from a country Marley conquered. Pieck supplies the missing fact: Yelena is Marleyan. Then she starts working the room, reminding each of them what the others did, until Jean swings at Reiner.
The Arm and the Answer
Magath learns the Rumbling has already reached his country and breaks her arm across the table to make her talk. The zealot who would not trade her silence for Marley's survival trades it in seconds for her own, and asks only to be allowed to live. Onyankopon makes her a sling out of what is to hand.
She Still Thinks He Was Right
Feverish from the arm, she gives them the target: not the assembled fleet but Fort Salta, where the flying boats are built, because those are the only things that can still reach him. She names her price for the information and it is not her life this time — she wants them to say out loud that Zeke's euthanasia plan was right. Hange says it.
