Faye Yeager

Faye's dark hair fell just short of her shoulders, cut with untidy bangs above equally dark eyes. Her outfit layered a coat and a brightly colored scarf over a loose dress, and on her arm she carried the band that marked every Eldian living in Marley.

Sheltered and very young, Faye leaned on Grisha whenever the world felt threatening, hiding behind him and needing his nudge to step beyond her comfort zone. That timidity coexisted with open wonder; the sight of a blimp drifting overhead filled her with delight and daydreams of someday riding one if she ever grew rich.

One day the siblings spot a blimp above Liberio and trail it past the internment zone's boundary, enduring slurs from Marleyan passersby along the way. Near the hangar they are stopped by two officers of the Public Security Authorities. Grisha claims he dragged his sister along and volunteers to absorb the punishment for them both; while Eren Kruger beats him, the second officer, Gross, leads Faye away and never brings her home.

Her mutilated body is discovered at a riverbank the following morning. The officers tell the Yeager parents she was dropped off safely at the border and pin the death on her own decision to leave the zone unescorted. Grisha, who had watched the same men idling in the sun, knows the account is a lie, but his father grovels before the officers and afterward drills his son on the supposed sins of their ancestors.

Seven years on, Grisha joins the Eldian Restorationists after learning what really happened: Gross had taken Faye and let dogs eat her alive. Her death is finally repaid when Kruger, secretly a Restorationist himself, shoves Gross off the wall of Paradis Island and into the jaws of a Pure Titan.
