Ellie
CharacterKaranes District is home to Ellie, a small girl with golden pigtails who turns up when the Survey Corps sets out on its 57th expedition and again when it limps back. Spotting her perched beside her brother, Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman remember watching soldiers ride home when they were children themselves.
Appearance
Golden hair, gathered up into a pair of ponytails, is Ellie's most visible trait. Her eyes are brown and strikingly large, and her frame is that of a small child.
Personality
Shyness defines what little the story shows of her. A glance from Eren Yeager is enough to fluster her, and where her brother hollers with excitement over the Survey Corps, Ellie stays composed and says nothing loud at all, marking her as the quieter of the two siblings.
