That unatural mango

The first time Annie met the Arlert’s 

The first time Annie hung out at Armin's house was the day after Halloween

When she got there his family was all over her, Annie was taken aback by the attention

Armin's granddad was definitely the one to ask "are you our little Armin's girlfriend?"

She said she's just his friend and he was understanding and didn't push the issue, he went back to his study to watch his shows

Armin's dad definitely made sure she was well attended to, water, snacks, AC, anything. She loved that but understood  when he had to go back to work on a project at work with his wife, but definitely made sure she could ask him anything

Armin's mom held the longest conversation she ever had with an adult, it felt so natural, Mrs Arlert was so easy to open up to that it didn't feel like she was prying.

Mrs Arlert: Oh Annie, I think Armin is coming down soon, now you two have fun. I want to give you something Annie: you don't need to, it's okay Mrs Arlert: I insist, here take these. I use these hair ties when I'm working on machines, they're super good last for a long time and don't pull at all Annie: thanks Mrs Arlert: oh before I go, I like to bake do you think you want to bake with me one day? Annie: sure *the widest smile she eve had*

They sat in the couch since it was the ground rule, they turned on the TV and decided to watch Aliens

Annie was skeptical, she wasn't really into scifi but trusted Armin's judgment

The movie ends and Armin began to yawn, and Annie was nodding off

Armin: hey sorry, I'm just a little tiered

Annie: me too,sorry social battery is dying

Armin: same, I feel like I can sleep for a while

Annie: why don't we?

Armin: What!

Annie: here! I mean here, you know on the couch like normal people

Armin: oh, okay sure. If you fall asleep it's okay, let me just get you a blanket

In no time the both of them were knocked out, Annie covered in a blanket from the neck down Armin just sleeping there

The first on to wake up was Armin, he noticed that that Annie was saying something and thought she woke up first.

She was saying woosh as she was kicking under the blanket. He got up and got dinner ready for him and his Grandpa

Armin placed a fresh glass of water for Annie, as he set up the table and had everything ready for dinner

He walked her to her car and they shared their first hug goodbye, Armin was always a huggy person and Annie felt like a pole come to life and didn't know where to put her hands

He gave her all of his leftover candy from the night before, she kind of protested but vowed to get him something for his birthday which would be on a Tuesday

She talked to an Armin a couple times before going to his house, and she knew he liked the sea.

She went to one of the stores her dad goes to, this kinda sketchy boomer shop that sells weird shit as she would put it and looked for sea based stuff

She settled for this small box which was made of the prettiest clam she ever saw, sadly there wasn't a pearl in it but it more than made up for it due to the display case under it

It was decorated with really intricate designs with sea life, mermaids and waves

Armin loved it, he vowed to get her something for her birthday, and from then they hung out at school

The facetime era

Annie got bored on Thanksgiving, it was her and her dad his military buddies were over in the backyard just broing out she whipped out her phone and texted Armin

They both already had turkey and we're fully food baby pregnant, she wasn't great at keeping text convos alive and went to put away her phone in her pocket but accidentally clicked the FaceTime button and heard his voice

She looks surprised but it quickly went away, playing it off as if she meant to do that

They talked for a good while, she was surprised to see Armin in something other than one of his various emoticon Tshirts or an anime shirt

She showed him her house towards the end, he brought up how cool her room looked. Of course she had to rip on him

Annie: is this the first girls room you seen?

Armin: no I've been to Mikasa's room plenty of times

Annie: oh really, how about next time I show you my room in person

Armin: yeah definitely, but I got to give you a room tour *yawn* next time this food coma is coming for me

Annie: same. See you in school Armin

Armin: can I facetime you some time, my room is definitely a sight to see

Annie: sure

Armin: awesome, see you Annie!

Next time they facetimed Armin helped Annie with homework, towards the end she noticed a weird blanket

Armin: oh yeah *puts phone against something* it's my old security blanket from when I was a kid *shows the blanket*

Annie: oh my god that's so small

Armin: *puts it around his head*

Annie: *Annie has the widest smile* that's really cute actually

They facetimed a couple more times, the blanket was somewhere in the background but they planned to hang out at her house one weekend

Armin meeting Annie’s dad

Annie's dad was on him like white on rice, who are you, what are you my daughter, what are you parents like, why are you here

Annie just stood back and got ready to drive him home and cancel but Armin noticed some posters of old shows that his grandpa would watch a lot

Armin dazzled her dad with all the questions he asked before but bringing up trivia from that show and showing pictures of his grandpa's study and Annie's dad let him in the house

She noticed that there was a machine that needed fixing, he brought up that his parents were engineers and that his mom was a mechanic It could fix it up no issue and at little to no cost

Annie's dad (I head canon his name is John Leonhardt): alright kid, just keep to the living room and kitchen. Annie I'll be home late, don't stay up, do your homework and make sure he's gone before I come back

Annie: of course, no need to worry

Annie's dad: hope not, see you later kiddo *looks at Armin* do I make myself clear hair?

Armin: YES SIR

(there was an intense stare down before he left )

*Annie waits for a time to see that the car disappeared while Armin set up the DVD player in the living room*

They watched the first movie without incident, Armin was stiff as a board and Annie was making sure that her dad wasn't coming back she asked if he wanted to see her room in person

They went in and Armin was super impressed, Annie was putting on a CD to have some background music on

She told him to try out her bed, it was soft as hell and she joined him and laid down enjoying the music she saw he was a little tense and told him that she'll be back and get him some water

She came back and saw him curled up, she watched for a moment and saw he was dead asleep. She took a couple of pictures and laid down hoping the movement would wake him up, it didn't and she fell asleep

She accidentally woke him up with an unconscious kick, they woke up both freaked out (canon she talks (mostly woosh) in her sleep and kicks a lot)

Annie: woosh *kicks Armin in the ass*

Armin: hu- *falls off bed with a bang* OW

Annie: *snaps awake* Armin! *Gets out*

Armin: I'm okay

Annie: why were you in my -  *Slowly remembering he was there first* oh shit, sorry about that

Armin: no, I should apologize, I fell asleep on your bed, I broke the rules -

Annie: Armin I brought you in here, my dad isn't home it's fine.

There was a long pause and Annie got up and turned on a speaker

Annie: wanna listen to some music ?

They spent the rest of the day listening to music swapping songs and stealing glances

At the beginning of Christmas break Armin heard about a waltz class from Sasha, he invited Annie and she accepted to go a little hesitant.

Armin:If we're going to be show stoppers at prom we need to practice?

Annie:Prom? Are you asking me to prom now?

Armin:...um... yeah I guess, if you're going to go

Annie: Sure, I'll go with you

Your honor they are teens in love 

They were the first faces they saw on new year

By this point Armin was head over heels in love with Annie, he loved her strong personality and her ability to stand up for herself but saw that sweeter side of her that few people knew it existed

Annie fell in love with Armin much earlier on, she admired him from a far and the only person that knew was Mina, Mikasa found out herself and asked Annie about the situation

Annie loved that Armin was so passionate with life, unapologetically himself. She saw that he wasn't a pushover like others assumed, he had a devious side that was just under the surface of this sweet kid.

This was Armin's attempt at asking her out (aka fumbling the bag while potentially concussed )

It was the first day back from winter break

Armin: hey Annie what's up *tries to lean against the wall but slid off the wall and banged his head against a vending machine*

Annie: holy shit Armin are you okay *she helps him up*

Armin: now that you're here *tried to do blue steel at her*

Annie: Armin seriously are you okay?

Armin: yeah definitely, just um how bout I take you to the *literally cannot remember where he wanted to take her*

Annie: the nurses?

Armin: *really embarrassed* yeah sure let's go there

When he was left alone with the nurse he was so embarrassed and just laid there

Some weeks passed and things went back to normal, Valentine's day was happening early in the week and it took everything in her and the help of Mina and Mikasa to gain enough courage to ask Armin to be her Valentine

She saw Armin not paying attention and couldn't look away, she had to steel herself and hyping herself too much she lightly pushing him against the wall and with her other free hand she grabbed his face

Annie: you're my valentine, you get that nerd? Nod if you get that

Armin: *nods*

Annie: good *she lets him go and walks away*

She spent the next class period in the nurses

The care package Armin gave Annie was delivered, it contained

Donuts, vanilla coffee, poky and a whole load of Japanese candy, a squishmellow, some DVDs and posters of concerts (mixed in a lot of classic rock because he knew her dad would be looking at it), and a bigger version of his security blanket much fluffier(she goes to sleep with it clutched to her side, it's orange with yellow rubber ducks)

Before the first date

Some time passed and things from part one happened, the week before they got out for summer break they studied at Armin's house after which they went up to his room (door open, Armin's parents didn't care but he does)

After they were done studying there was a time where they were packing up and getting ready to go downstairs and have lunch, that there was just a long pause and like magnets slowly drifting towards each other they got a little close but it wasn't to happen then.

Annie broke the silence and asked him to go to a local museum, he agreed happily and they left the room the tension was unbearable.

The awkward pauses were too much for them, Armin wanted to kiss her and Annie wanted to pin him to his bed and make out

After their first date they hung out with their friends during the summer, her, Mikasa and Armin's mom would bake cookies together and just vibe

Summer days drifting away

Annie's baking went from barely understanding premade recipes that just needed water and eggs, to making things from scratch

She was officially part of the group and went to all the cool places they went to, and Armin was quickly adopted by Annie's dad and her friends.

Annie's dad calls him "hair" and has offered him a beer if he could sink a pool ball at a difficult shot. Armin did much to the awe of the old army gents, they all tried to get him loaded but he explained that his parents don't want him drinking

They had a system where they would swap off driving to see each other, Armin got his license and became the sole driver for a time.

Annie and Mrs. Arlert had this unexplainable bond, they had a sweet tooth they could bond over.

Armin's mom loves romance movies, and she'd always put some on in the back. Much to Armin's confusion.

Annie got actually really good at making cookies, she was gifted by Armin a cook book

She got Armin into romantic comedies, he listened to her rants about how Hallmark is terrible that he asked to see some good romcoms and she did

They both evolved their dress styles together, they bought more casual wear and honestly Armin was surprised how different she looked out of her usual punk aesthetic

In the public eye they are not touchy feely, they definitely are more attentive of each other in a group setting but not on top of each other

People get annoyed with them making goo goo eyes at each other

She painted his nails black once, he was cool with it, not that that surprised her in the slightest but was surprised that he wanted to keep it on after it dried

She jumped his bones after that, his hair was a mess and it looked like he applied black lipstick

They didn't make it a habit to getting to that level of intensity, not that they didn't enjoy themselves it's just there were other priorities

As tough and as willing as Annie let on Armin was very aware of when she was nervous. He cheered on the sidelines at any event she found herself in, concerts she performed at, physical competitions, the occasional martial arts tournament.

He was very aware of when she was nervous, she would never admit it easily and called it a quits before it escalated further

Annie loves to leave hickeys on Armin, it freaks him out in the process but she does it closer to his collar bone

Armin isn't the passive partner, by any stretch of the imagination. Sure he doesn't start most of their encounters, but he sure knows how to get them started

Their first time was painfully awkward, they planned everything and it just kinda went sideways

Like their first kiss Armin suggested that they proceed sort of speak, but unlike the first kiss he was very cerebral and psyched himself out

They tried to control every little aspect and it led to performance anxiety on both their parts, they just decided to go off script sort of speak and go with the flow and it was enjoyable

The dedication ceremony

artist (https://mobile.twitter.com/still_melodya27) 

It was a weeks long preparation, seeing as neither Annie nor Armin are religious they didn't mind being committed in front of a Baphomet statue and in the dark light of Lucifer

The ceremony was held at Mikasa's backyard

Few people were in attendance they had a small core group of friends

Armin gave Annie her promise ring in the both she gave him for his 16th birthday

Knew each other from middle school but never really talked then, however they do remember each other

Beginning of high school they met again after a super long time of not talking

Funny enough even though Armin is usually the shy type, he was the first one to recognize Annie and say hi to her on the first day.

Annie makes it a habit to say hi to him when she sees him in the halls

Once Annie got a snack at the vending machine but instead of one, two rice crispies came out, so she gave one to Armin and they have been exchanging snacks from then on

She cracks jokes around him, they're dry as hell but she tries and occasionally makes him laugh. He is unintentionally funny, but at best she only cracks a smirk she's not one for belly laughs.

She had him saved as Nerd on her phone for a bit then changed it to Armin, he has her as Annie Leonhart but has played with adding emoji's but can't decide

There was a time she thought he was dating Mikasa because "you guys looked like a couple" and he replied with "a couple of besties" they both belly laughed and she cringed but got what she was looking for

He invited her to a pre Halloween party with Mikasa, Marco and the new guy Eren. She went and was so confused when she saw everyone dressing the opposite of how they usually do but could not stop staring at goth Armin.

She was very disappointed when he had no clue who Gerard Way was, she genuinely thought he was messing with her. She almost left when he never heard of a single MCR song

She wanted to hangout with him on Halloween so she asked him, he said yes but informed her that he and Mikasa have a tradition and she's welcome to come. Curious enough she goes and sees that they just marathon movies and is delighted to learn it's Twilight in the day, and smirks when him and Mikasa act out scenes

Armin and Annie where there celebrating Samhain with Mikasa as a ragtag coven, they all did a Ouija board session and had some dumb fun. They didn't ask questions personally but shot each other looks

They all got candy and Armin was impressed with her sugar tooth, and Annie was weirded out by his lack of a sweet tooth

Annie: I thought you liked candy?

Armin: not really, probably just this time of year

Annie: what about the snacks? Why do you eat them? *Fully concerned* [have I been force feeding him candy?!]

Armin: I guess it's different when you give me candy

Both: *silence*

That Halloween fell on a Saturday and they hung out at his house that Sunday just decompressing after the long socialization period, neither of them knew why they said to hang out after all of that but that day was mostly quite.

They both passed out on the couch for a good 4 hours, backs to each other

She gets him novelty sea based items for his Birthday

They text thanksgiving, Annie accidentally hit FaceTime but they ended up talking for hours until they went to sleep

She gave him a virtual room tour and she saw his room for the first time through her screen

They face time often for the weeks following, Armin shows her his old comfort blanket and she smiled so wide he decides to wear it when they face time

They plan to hangout alone one time but could only go to Annie's house, they do and Armin loves her house.

Her dad grilled him before leaving the house, but they bond over some of his memorabilia and just gives him free reign of the house

Armin seeing Annie's room shocked him, the surroundings were lined with a lot of old rock artwork but her bed was quite modern (like the ones that looked futuristic)

Annie's bed is so soft that when Armin sat on it he almost immediately fell asleep, Annie came back with water for him and he was passed out. She snapped a couple of pics of him sleeping before waking him up

They ended up watching movies in the living room because they both kept falling asleep on her bed

Christmas rolls around and they took a ballroom class that Sasha recommended, funny enough Armin was a natural while Annie had two left feet.

Armin explained he and Mikasa watched dirty dancing and practiced all the dances for jokes, but ended up taking a couple of classes

They both love sci-fi, aliens is their favorite

New year rolls around and they watch the ball drop on face time

Armin fumbled asking her out so bad the first time she genuinely thought he banged his head, brought him to the nurses and everything

Annie basically said "you're my valentine" in his ear and left, she had to hide the red on her face. She did this on the 13th. No one could find her, she went ghost.

On Valentine's day he got her a small thing of donuts, she got him a stuffed dolphin

He makes her a care package for her birthday, he couldn't make it to the actual party but it's full of all of her and their favorite things

Her dad's old military friends were asking a million questions about him, just the most protective uncles

It was summer when they started noticing the other acting weird around them, Annie bit the bullet and asked him out and they went to the local museum

At the end they ate at the food court and it was then when Armin realized it was a date, he was so embarrassed for not realizing and Annie facepalmed and laughed at his level of obliviousness

Amused they went home and Armin asked if he can hold her hand and she agreed

They had their first kiss on a pier that they visited on the last week of summer before their junior year. Armin initiated this one.

Junior year they played it slow and steady, they tried not to rush into things, scared that it'll ruin what they have and the friend dynamic of the group

They have regular date nights up until senior year when they got more serious and Armin was studying to get into a really good school

Not a pda couple, however if Annie starts something Armin is incapable of saying no

Armin has joked about being a "man wife" but honestly likes it and updated Annie's contact to "Annie Leonhardt woman husband" she changed it to "Armin man wife"

They have matching sea horse necklaces

Annie always checks if what she's doing to Armin (she is definitely the more active partner by initiating most of the times they've fooled around), he's cool with it, and she tries to pace herself

He's cool with it, but he sees that she's more nervous than she lets on so he's the one to call it a quits

They went to prom in this blue and white get up and they were the real show stoppers

Sometimes they drive to an open field and lay in the back of Annie's car, listening to music, and watching the sky. Although most date nights end in Armin's house

Annie's dad can't say it out loud but he really likes Armin, "he's built like a daffodil but he's got a good head on his shoulders" is code for "I love this kid"

Armin's parents and his Grandpa love and adore Annie, they swarm her like they do to Mikasa even before the two started dating

Armin's mom gifted Annie a lot of small trinkets, ear rings, hair clips, rings and they cook together because Annie likes to help her any way she can. They had several heart to hearts, Annie feels like she's the mom she never had

Mikasa has offered on more than one occasion to marry them in the dark light of Lucifer, it got to a point where they had a mini "commitment ceremony" on the spring equinox, the day before her birthday

It was a small ceremony but they took it seriously, vows and rings were exchanged

Armin stayed local for school to be around his friends, family and Annie.

They move in together their sophomore year of college, and surprisingly they got along even better than expected/

Armin:

Smart kid, in so many fandoms and is constantly checking his twitter and various blogs (Tumblr) and forums

Always reading blogs and discussing fan theories, has tried to launch theory channels on YouTube but was to nervous to actually post anything

Shit post constantly on his throw away accounts, never malicious just cursed images of whatever fandom is being discussed

Loves American movies, has a sizable collection of films of all kinds. A lot of blue world and sea documentaries

Mikasa:

Her dad is a journalist, mom stays at home

Is a polyglot

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

Marco:

Such a good kid, like literal angel

Agendas from yester year in his room, always has his schedule memorized but liked to keep his agenda close at hand

Always smells super good, has like 5 colognes that he bought himself after consulting a specialist

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)

Got a tarot reading from Mikasa because he heard about how she's getting into in through Armin, he kept an open mind and encouraged her. Although he's not a real believer, he sees it as a way for people to talk out their problems.

Wants to be a counselor when he grows up, he worked at summer camps and loved them so much. He loves kids, he was the favorite camp counselor

Always trying to cheer people up, not a push over and puts his foot down constantly when he sees people being bullied

Choir kid

Jean:

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

Annie:

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

Really active kid but rarely talked to people, was the kid who'd run away from people if they tried to talk to her. Hides behind her dad's leg

Learned martial arts from a young age, she like it but wasn't super thrilled by her dad being super extra about it

Won a championship when she was 14 and got to ask her dad for anything because she whooped grown man ass. She chose guitar lessons, smiled the whole time

She started the cooties thing at her school to get people to leave her alone

She grew up on classic rock, her dad is an older gentleman and is a vet. Her brash way of speaking comes from hearing him and his friends talking

Loves sweeties because her dad rarely lets candy into the house, but on her birthday and graduation days he gets her the most sugary bullshit possible

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

She writes HAGS (Have a great summer) in people's yearbooks if asked, but she writes out fully thought out and meaningful page long messages to her friends.

Got her license as soon as she could

Loves British tv shows, really into their comedy

Rarely posts anything on social media, but spends an unhealthy amount of time on YouTube, Spotify, Pandora and band camp

Constantly listening to something

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

Sasha

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

Connie

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

Reiner

Momma's boy, only child

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

Berthold

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!

Connie: yep they sure do

Sasha: glad you liked it

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

Ymir

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.

Marlowe

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

Likes wearing suits

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

Tutors Bert the most

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
