Her dad is a journalist, mom stays at home
Had an intense fear of the dark when she was a kid, Night light kid, it was a tiny bat
Is athletic but doesn't look it, nobody knows (except Armin) that she works out. She's always been really physically blessed rarely getting sick or being winded when doing intense exercise. Her parents were track stars and met in college at a gym meeting
Watches prank videos on YouTube and spams them to Armin, she knows it's all fake but pretends that she thinks they're real to annoy him (this was middle school)
Her room is really well kept, burgundy walls, dark furniture. Her parents helped her set it up
When she became goth it was a gradual process but it was hard to really tell her parents that's her new vibe. She's self conscious, and her parents are super supportive and made her feel safe.
She has an altar that's always has some light going, led candles only, she's too freaked out by fire to have it going when she's isn't doing some big ritual.
It has a crystal ball at the center, the two candles at the back always giving a glow, she has an athame Infront of the ball that's always closed but it's a prop knife that goes in when it gets pressed on skin. She has her cards and materials in separate drawers under her altar. She has a pendulum, bones, runes, books on astrology, crystals, incense and her book of shadows.
She does readings for all her friends, she does a forecast for Armin every week and only brings up really good things or really bad things to look out for
Always doing love readings for Armin, she knows he'll find his perfect someone and asked to cast a spell for him. He said no, so she just looks out for him and respects his decision
Such a good kid, like literal angel

Really scientific minded, not religious in the slightest but he is always up for anything he's invited to (Mikasa's antics about calling the dead on Halloween)

Was a chubby kid all through elementary and most of middle school, puberty hit his metabolism like crazy
Big crier, like all the time in elementary
Practices dances in his room all the time, hoping one day he'll get to use them
He adopted the bad boy persona to divorce himself from the kid image of himself
He worked out hard to get the body he's in now, mostly if not all glam muscles. Don't ask to see his legs they are quite skinny
Bugs Armin because he's always with Mikasa and wants him to leave her side long enough to ask her out
Stops bugging Armin due to his reputation being smeared
She's adopted, her dad wanted to start a family but never really got around to finding love but wanted to help a kid that was an orphan like him

Rarely watches movies but has a secret love for romance movies, however she can't stand most Hallmark movies
Enjoys her alone time, she has a low social battery and doesn't like big groups and usually tires out quick
Knew Reiner and Berthold in elementary school, she has kicked Reiner in the shins twice, once because he pissed her off and the other time is because she wanted an excuse to leave a social situation that he roped her into
Can handle Berthold because he rarely talks, she's the one to keep the convos going because he can't really come up with things to say
Went to her first concert at 12, her dad hated it but was their to accompany her
She considers her best friend to be Mina since she always talked to her, they have a couple of year long text conversation going

Armin and Mikasa's friendship
Him and Mikasa are childhood friends, she invited him for a tea party thinking he was a girl, when informed he was a boy by her parents Mikasa asked him if he wanted to stay and he did. It was history from there.
They went to the same school since pre school to high school, and honestly plan to even after. They were next to each other during nap time
Is an only child but Mikasa is over at his house so much that she's basically his sister, and he's over at her house so often that he's essentially her brother.
They've been to movies, concerts and events together if they could go together
Armin and Mikasa really love dark gothic stuff, when she went Goth he really was super supportive and helps her research occult topics and she learned Tarot by practicing on him. He use to not believe in it until a lot of her predictions started happening, he calls himself a "hesitant believer" because not all of them came true but enough came true that it took him back.
In the fourth grade they were each other's first kiss, it was a decision they made talking about it since they heard other kids had their first kiss. It was quick and they both cringed about it, still to this day, and is a mood killer when it is brought up
They just use their inside jokes all the time regardless of who's present. Mikasa calls Armin the "descendant of darkness" because he helped her get over her fear of the dark, he calls her supreme because they loved AHS coven
Super protective of each other
Comes from a yeehaw family, like they're country as hell but live in the nicest house on the block
She is the biggest sister and the best babysitter
Is always active either because of her siblings or she can't stop pacing
Met Connie when they were in elementary, they got in trouble for not being able to stand still so the teacher held them back from recess set them down and told them to write an essay. They just ended up playing in the room and just made it tornado mess in the room
Played with the boys and girls equally, but when cooties got started she would chase all the boys like a sheepdog to the sheep
Not the best student, had a lot of tutors growing up
Hunting trips with the family, she was a natural
Really sensitive ears, she gets overwhelmed by a lot of auditory stimulation so that's why she prefers the outside
She has one of the most active metabolisms out there, either from helping around the house or exercising she's always constantly moving
Her favorite subject in high school is AP psychology, she has a natural talent for picking up on cues and loves to talk to people
Is not afraid to get physical with anybody who makes fun of her friends or tries to cross her
Although she's only in one after school club she appears in so many of the after school pictures people just assume she was in all of them
The janitors hate her, she just leaves crumbs absolutely everywhere, the school just started calling them Sasha trails
Is a slave perfectionist and is afraid of people will rag on her for any little mistake that she does
Outside of Connie she actually gets along really well with Jean
Has a knack for cooking, like she is what amounts to a master chef amongst her friends
She heard John complain about not having a girlfriend or not being kissed in such a long time she just jumped on him for the most over the top kiss ever. They both thought it was super weird, but it got Jean to stop freaking out about that stuff. What made it worse is that this was in front of their whole friends group
Is the reason why the fire alarms have those plastic coverings over them, she didn't pull any of them but her and Connie just run down the hallway and just shoulder check each other so often that people have bumped into those things by accident and almost set them off
Goes out of state to go to college and get her degree in developmental psychology
Although he's the shortest of his siblings he is the older brother
His laid-back attitude doesn't really give it off but he's actually very responsible, he's one of those people that you remind them of a project that's do or something and they already have it done and they look at you and say hey did you do it
Not one much for studying, pays all the attention in lecture so he can avoid studying at home, he has no way of explaining it but studying at home just seems so difficult for him
Watches those old LA noire movies and wishes he could be a detective from those times
Secretly has a beautiful singing voice
He and Armin took a couple of improv classes together but he actually stuck with it and went to school for acting
His mom was the only parent and as a result felt that he had to fulfill a protector role and his house, when he was really little like five or six years old he said he was the man of the house
He had a lot of good male role models growing up not just from TV but from his school and the friends that his mom had, his uncle was his biggest influence and for all intents and purposes was a emergency contact number
Really active kid, love playing with other kids, had to be told a couple times to be nice since he was bigger than most kids and used that to his advantage when he learned he could
Not a bad kid per se but has a propensity for exploiting his edge on others when he was much younger
Was in football since Little leagues all the way up until he graduates college, he loves the sports he knows all the stats he watches old game highlight reels and every Halloween even when he was in trick or treating he dresses up as an NFL player
Funny enough him and Bert were diametric opposites personality-wise but they got along because they had a fondness for football and other sports
The only reason that he started talking to Annie and they became friends is because he learned that his friend had a crush on her and he was trying to get her to talk to him, he was a little bit too persistent and he put his hand on and he's shoulder and when that wouldn't work he slightly pulled on her hair causing her to swing back and take him in the shins as hard as possible (elementary school, like 1st or 2nd grade)
Started working out at a really young age and before he can join a gym he always helps his mom out with a groceries and did push ups around the house
Started accumulating a lot of friends both in real life and on social media and honestly loves the attention
After the whole Annie incident around 5th grade they made up and he adopted her as a honorary third member to the duo that him and Burt had.
Bert reminds him that a duo is a duo because there's two not three, not that he doesn't understand the concept but he just is a hard time explaining that that's his way of saying that she's part of the group now
Weird enough is that his mom loves Elvis, he asked her if he could take some guitar lessons and she said he could if he found the money for it, money was tight around his house, and he did a lot of odd jobs around the neighborhood. He already had a good reputation with all his neighbors being like that good kid that had a bright future of head of him, so they were really willing to help him in any way they could
He got himself in Ash Martin that was from the pawn shop and just learned from the internet how to play a lot of Elvis's classics
He asked all his friends to help him make it happen, and this was the birth of the do gooders club
With a very strange tactical precision for children of their age, 14-15, they've rearranged the house and made it look like a small private stage
Him, Hitch, Mina, Bert, Sasha and Marlo to set up the interior to make it look really nice and have all the food that they prepared ready to go
Him and Annie were part of the distraction team and all the best that he could come up with is for her to kick him in the shins again, because he want to pretend that he got hurt so his mom would go upstairs slow with him and Annie
The kids weren't just there but all their friends and family were there because everyone was in the loop but his mom, it was so much fun for everyone
For the most part he is the brains of the operation, in the sense of like he comes up with the ideas and they figure it out. For a time he had a huge crush on historia but seeing as she wasn't interested because she rejected him so badly He was quick to move on but man did thay hurt
He also plays the drums, he took band classes for a filler in the morning but really grew to love drumming and was torn between doing the marching band or football. Football always won out
It's sad to say but he fights a lot of silent battles that he doesn't let a lot of people in on, and for time they manifested as overt aggression. Is Mom got a new job that was finally stable and it had good enough insurance that it covered for a lot of his therapy sessions, somewhere deep inside of him he always blamed himself for not having a dad and taking on a lot of responsibility when he was a little kid Philippine was so much worried that eventually manifested itself as depressive episodes and for a really long time he really thought that he could just power through them and just keep on going and being himself without help
It was actually Marlo who he told this to, him and Bert. They were both very understanding and told him that he doesn't have to do this alone and as good as friends are medical professionals are probably better and diagnosing the problem but they'll always be his support system
Always is posting something on his social media, it's either him doing community service, playing his guitar or a group selfie with all of his friends at the mall
Went professional for a time and got into the hall of Fame as one of the greatest defensive lineman of his time
Was the tallest kid every year he was in school
Liked Annie in elementary school, never acted on it, after seeing that Reiner got his shin obliterated
Made friends with Reiner on the playground after seeing him trying to throw and catch a football all by himself.
Reiner taught him football, he taught Reiner about basketball
Loves basketball, always loved it as a kid and once a year him and his family would go to a live game. It was usually local games but when he got to highschool his family was able to get him NBA play off tickets. Best day of his life
Always sits in the back of class due to his height
Most of his casual wear are basketball jerseys
Only listens to podcasts, legit has no music. The only music he has is whatever the sound track was for that years 2k game
His long legs made him the fastest in school most of the time, Connie would constantly press him during laps
Dated someone but to this day nobody knows who, and loves it when people guess, obviously it didn't stick but it ended very civil
Can't play hot cross buns on the recorder, does not have a musical bone in his body.
He genuinely cannot tell if someone is on or off key, Connie and Sasha learned this and they made a playlist of really bad covers of very popular songs and sent it to him.
He genuinely thought they were good, still has it to this day and puts it as one of his gym playlist
Bert: wow they sound exactly like the artist!
Bert: definitely! Wonder why they have so little followers
Was given the aux once in Marlow's car, put it on and immediately regretted it
Any and every popular dance that exists, he knows how to execute flawlessly
Has an entirely secret life nobody knows about, other friend group from before highschool
Actually has a girlfriend from another school but nobody believes him
Went to school for sports journalism, got to be really popular and sometimes got to go on panels which was difficult for him
He was always able to get interviews with Reiner since they go way back, everyone is jealous of his connections
Oldest sibling of two younger brothers
She's a carbon copy of her mother, but in looks alone their mannerisms are more like their father
Was really close to her dad, they are best friends
Wore more traditionally girly clothes as a kid but started wearing more boyish clothes at the start of middle school, a lot of her friends could barely recognize her
She enjoys coffee a little too much, if not for her insane amount of self control she would have it morning to night
Came out as a lesbian sophomore year of highschool, her family knew since her 7th grade year.
She has a low-key friendship with Armin, they geek out over some new anime or show. They text like all the time, she has a lot of niche knowledge on old movies and got Armin into indi films.
Cannot keep her balance on wheels, cannot ride a bike or a scooter. However in a car she's a fearless speed demon, but other wheel based transportation she can't stop the oncoming panic attack. She for the life of her cannot tell you why she's afraid of them, she just is.
She's so quite when she moves it's almost concerning, like you could hear a pin drop in an empty room before her.
Has to constantly be reminded of personal space and boundaries, she learned real quick after a really embarrassing situation that happened when she hugged Armin from the back thinking he was Historia.
Super quiet kid, like he learn how to talk very young but just either refuse to or didn't want to
Has an older brother that instilled in him a sense of righteousness, his father is religious so is his mother And he always grew up hearing fire and brimstone sermons about people's responsibility to do good in the world
He wasn't a tattletale for the sake of being a tattletale but when he really thought somebody was breaking the rules he let the teacher know, he was not popular in elementary school
He always kept his workspace super clean and he always pastored other kids to keep their workspaces clean, him and Connie did not get along for the longest time
In his house they never really used any slang or any kind of euphemisms for anything so he spoke like an adult at a very young age
Gives himself his own hair cuts, bowl and scissors
He generally loves volunteering and when he got into high school he had so many community service hours he didn't even have to do anything over the summer or during school to graduate if anything he was way over the allotted amount
When you got to high school he became more aware of the world than the differences of people and took time to educate himself on those topics and in the process found a lot of causes that he would love for him and his friends to get interested in
He knows what his social group is called at school but doesn't really pay too much mind to it As they don't really do much
He invited his group of friends to do community service with them on the weekends, a lot of the times they said no until they really needed the community service hours
Always seen as the sore thumb, Hitch teases him to no end And genuinely gets really annoyed with her, gives the silent treatment when angry
Good student, close to straight A's but can never knock Marco off the top
Thinks the castes are stupid, and sees himself closer to the bottom of the pyramid and more of a floater if it weren't for the group
Has gone on a couple of dates in highschool, nothing really stuck but they all ended respectfully.
Super protective about his private life
Will never say no to going to any event with anyone, he definitely has a complex where he sees himself as one of the more trustworthy in society
Never has said no to dates if asked, it's happened before results may vary
Tries to steer everyone in the right direction, is the groups tutor
He has a servant leader mentality, He sees that the role of those in charge are to make sure that the people who are under them or rely on their leadership have their needs met before anyone else
Has a car that always looks brand new, always is the groups designated driver because he doesn't like how anyone else drives
Never lets Hitch in the passenger seat unless it's just them, only because of she refuses to get in the back and guilt trips him into letting her go front saying that she'll hitchhike her way back home and God knows what would happen to her
He still feels very guilty about this but one time When they do gutters we're hanging out Hitch was doing her typical teasing, however Marlo started to get very passive aggressive. When the topic of what college are they going to everyone shared but Marlow, He said he'll tell everyone else but hitch.
Around graduation Hitch asks Marlow out and he agrees, they have a good time shopping. He allows hitch to basically play dress up with him as her living doll.
He went to school to be part of child protective services
They dated on and off and saw other people in that time but we're really good friends during the whole thing
marriage after asking for her father's blessing
