Astro Boy

Kiriko is very gaunt-looking and appears much older than he actually is. He has long, stark white hair; some art depicts him with very light platinum blonde hair. Kiriko always dresses in fine suits, long coats, and ascots.
In Black Jack , Kiriko has an eyepatch over one eye. He originally lost this eye in an accident during his term in the Vietnam War. However, Kiriko does appear with two eyes in Prime Rose and Astro Boy .

In his home series, Dr. Kiriko is a morbid, brooding man. He takes himself and his career seriously, enjoying his rivalry with Black Jack to some degree. Kiriko has a reputation for being death-obsessed and creepy, which has lead some to nickname him "The Reaper's Avatar". In reality, Kiriko entered the field of euthanasia after serving time in Vietnam as a military doctor, a particularly vicious time in history. Kiriko began to question the hippocratic oath and switched careers. While he is a competent and serious doctor, Kiriko hates being one-upped or proven wrong.
As Pavlos in "Atlas Strikes Back", he is much more maniacal and dangerous. He has a persecution complex and blames others for everything that gets in his way, from engine failure to his departure from the Ministry of Science. He is strongly against AI robots and kokoro programming, and gladly develops the Nexus Chip for the sake of limiting and controlling robots.


Astro Boy

Peacekeeper is a large, bulky bipedal droid. It stands at approximately 3 meters (10 feet) tall and has a top-heavy build, with an enormous upper body and wild shoulders. Meanwhile, Peacekeeper's head is small and cylindrical; its face is plain, with a long chin and LED panel eyes. Most of its body is built with grey and blue silver metal, while its limbs are made of bulky dark grey metal.


Astro Boy

Pecora is small compared to other birds of his type, and he is likely the runt of his litter. He is a small, rotund, fluffy parrot. He is lime green, with yellow spots on his face and dark green spots on the edges of his wings. He is very expressive for a bird.


Astro Boy

Dr. Pigknunckle is a human woman in her mid-to-late 30s. She is tall, has glasses, and has long dark red hair that she pins back. She wears a grey, form-fitting uniform dress when on duty at the Ministry of Science.

From what is seen of her, Dr. Pigknuckle is highly competent and intelligent. She is very serious about her lab work and following Ministry protocols. When President Stone demands she move away from the control panel so he can control Peacekeeper , she refuses outright, and rues when he shoves her out of the way. Dr. Pigknuckle is respected alongside her male colleagues and seems proud to work with Dr. Tenma and Dr. Elefun .


Astro Boy

Originally, Osamu Tezuka modelled Pilat after Michael J. Pollard, in his role as C.W. Moss from the 1967 American film Bonnie and Clyde . [1] Just like Pilat, Moss is a getaway driver and criminal henchman.
Pilat has a tan complexion, and has medium-length brown hair that frames his face. He has very big eyes and a prominent nose, and is far shorter than Skunk. He always wears a brown blazer and slacks, black dress shoes, a green turtleneck, and a bolo tie.

Pilat comes off as one of the less dangerous members of the gang, but he can be just as shady and scheming as Skunk. He and Skunk tend to act like friends, with the two of them pulling smaller heists together. However, Pilat is still a henchman, and has been yelled at for not completing tasks fast enough or for questioning his boss's authority.
As well, Pilat is the only member of Skunk's gang to ever be given a name. In the early episodes of the series that he appears in, the Japanese credits contain his voice actor alongside the katakana of Pilat's name. However, later episodes credit him as Henchman A. Skunk very rarely calls Pilat by name in the Japanese version, and in English dubs he remains nameless.


Astro Boy

Due to Pinoko's time in a cyst, her growth is stunted, and she can never fully grow bigger than the size of a small child. She has bright brown eyes and short brown hair with bangs. Pinoko always wears four ribbon clips in her hair, and it is also her visual trademark. Most often, Pinoko wears pinafore dresses or overalls, over and plain colour shirts. She will often match the colour of her ribbons with the rest of her outfits.

Pinoko is a boisterous little girl. She is very outspoken and headstrong, but also very stubborn. She hates being called a child and will insist that she is much older. She is convinced that she is eighteen years old - the number of years she spent as a teratoma growth - and that she is now Black Jack's wife. Regardless, Black Jack treats her as his daughter.
Pinoko is fairly normal in appearance, but to an extent, she is physically challenged. Much of her body is prosthetic and she cannot grow much larger than she already is. At one point, she tries to take a high school entrance exam, but the amount of stress she experiences causes her to need immediate medical attention. [2] Despite her insistence that she is mature, Pinoko acts and thinks like an normal young child. When surprised, Pinoko will put her hands on the sides of her face, cartoonishly squishing her face. Her catchphrase is "acchonburike", a nonsense word; it is often translated along the lines of "oh my gewdness".


Astro Boy

Pluto's appearance is largely consistent in all his incarnations, being an enormous, burly humanoid robot with a design that is reminiscent of a demon. His metallic exterior is jet black in color, with red accents on his cheeks that resemble tribal war paint. His imposing stature is further accentuated by a pair of long, bull-like horns, which stick out of the sides of his head and curve straight upwards.
The 1980s version of Pluto is largely unchanged from his original incarnation, with the most notable differences being more definition in his design, as well as his black exterior having changed to a deep blue. The 2003 version of Pluto has a greater number of differences, now being a dark green in color, having no functional mouth and appearing more armored than before.
The Pluto in Urasawa's manga appears very similar to his 1963 and 1980 designs, with a seemingly more demonic tone to him. In his original identity as Sahad, Pluto appears as an extremely-human looking robot with a large nose, dark curly hair and expressive eyes.

The concept for Pluto's personality is of a temporary anti-hero. Originally,Pluto is shown to be stoic but completely blind to his creators orders, as his purpose is to fight Astro when the two are pitted against each other,as through their battles Dr. Tenma wants Astro to evolve and become his so-desired King of Robots. But as he spends time with Zoran, Pluto slowly starts to develop emotions and begin to show his kind side towards Zoran, and possibly start to see Astro in a different light, more as a ally and friend than just a rival. Despite the fact they are destined to fight, Pluto seemed to dislike fighting, as in his last meeting with Astro, he was forced to fight the latter, but later as he watched Astro's friends cheering for him and Zoran stopped their conflict, Pluto finally came in terms with his inner feelings and used that motivation as a strength to protect the people from Acheron, his evil self, who he once called friends: Astro and Zoran


Astro Boy

Stone is a tall, lean human man aged somewhere in his late 40s to 50s. He has a long, rectangular face, arched nose, and heavy brow line. He has short, slicked-back black hair with a widow's peak. In many regards, he appears to be an interpretation of Acetylene Lamp .
President Stone is only seen wearing his political fatigues. He wears a trim navy blue jacket, slacks, and tall black boots. He can be most often seen standing straight, arms folded behind his back, and glowering.

President Stone is the egotistical, ruthless and rogue president of Metro City, constantly focused on an upcoming election he hopes to be re-elected in. Stone is intent on impressing the city's voters with the Peacekeeper robot, demanding it be made to protect the city from a possible attack from the surface world. His insistence that the Peacekeeper be installed with the Red Core causes it to malfunction, sending forth a laser blast that kills Toby Tenma. He is also dangerously reckless, as demonstrated by sending numerous troops to capture Astro in the middle of Metro City. While he enjoys weapons and machinery, he thinks very little of robots, openly mocking Astro when he gets captured. Stone only sees robots as machines that need to do what they are told.

Stone also has a strangely goofy and inept side under the surface. At one point he is shown arm-wrestling with his assistant, remarking, "I win again." Much of his personality and actions seem to reference the American political climate of the era during which the movie was being developed. 2007-2008 was the last two years of the Bush-Cheney presidency, during which an enormous amount of jokes were made in popular media about inept, war-hungry politicians. Some reviewers of the film have directly equated Stone to the Cheney parodies of the time. [1]
President Stone's backstory is never fully elaborated on. It is remarked in the film Stone dropped out of college in his early 20s. The film's official comic and novel adaptations contain a scene cut from the film's script that reveals Stone always had trouble in school. Hamegg recognizes Stone, whom he calls by his first name, and reveals that he used to do Stone's homework when they were in the same third grade class. [2] His name is a pun of the word Doofus, showing his low intelligence.


Astro Boy

Princess Kaaya is a teenage South-Asian girl presumably in her mid-to late teens. She has short, curly dark brown hair, which shines brown in some light. Kaaya usually wears light, breezy outfits in white and blue, and an assortment of jewelry.

Kaaya is intrepid and outspoken. She can be rather stubborn, preferring to do things her own way, but she is just as compassionate. When Kaaya first comes to Metro City, she prefers to walk around the civilian parts of the city on her own, regardless of her rank back home.
Kaaya's father is the first ruler to introduce robots into Mayura, and likewise, Kaaya is a strong supporter of robots. She immediately befriends Astro and his friends, with Reno having a crush on her.


Astro Boy

Rag is a humanoid robot who resembles a teenage boy. He has light brown hair (blonde in the manga) with thick bangs, green eyes, and two antennae that point out from the top of his head. Rag's antennae are special energy converters that turn positive emotional energy into light. This allows him to literally read the room around him, assessing his public approval rating wherever he goes.
At all times, Rag is dressed in formal clothing. He takes his role as a politician seriously, and always wears an off-white three piece suit with a large bow tie. He will wear an orange and red electoral sash over his suit whenever he makes public appearances.

Rag is a kind, personable leader. He is very professional and serious, but talks to Astro like an old friend, recognizing them as both being robots. He is dedicated to his role as a public leader, which has put his own life on the line. Rag is aware many anti-robot individuals want him dead, but refuses to leave his people without a leader, and he invites Astro to Guravia to ask for his protection.
As Astro's group finds out, Rag was actually built by Deadcross years before. Rag was meant to be an informational source to help the latter run for president, but Rag begun to develop his own point of view after hours researching, reading, and studying. Rag could no longer stand to think about the inequalities between robots and humans, and decided to run for president himself.


Astro Boy

Dr. Ram is an Indigenous Inca man aged somewhere in his 40s to 50s. He has thick curly hair that resembles a lion's mane. This hair is grey in the manga and 1963 anime, but blue in the 1996 Epoch trading card series. He is also drawn with round ears and a round nose, which overall gives him the appearance of a lion. He is always formally dressed in double-breasted suit jackets, or in lab gear. Ram will sometimes be seen smoking tobacco from a pipe.
In Dr. Ram's first appearance, he was depicted as an extremely unflattering blackface caricature. This was due to Tezuka's lack of proper reference material at the time; Japan in the 1950s was limited to media imported only from America. [2] Ram's appearance was corrected for the 1963 series episode "Atlas"; he is redrawn with a normal darker skin tone and a round nose. In the mid-1990s, Dr. Ram's manga design appeared on a series of Japanese trading cards. His design is modified to have navy blue hair and a realistic skin tone.


Astro Boy

Red's character design is very distinct: he has an arched nose that takes up a large portion of his face, a strong chin and jawline, and short but fluffy sweeping hair. His age varies quite often; he is portrayed anywhere between being a fresh-faced middle-aged man to a very old man with a bushy mustache.

Duke Red in Metropolis (2001)

Duke Red first appeared as the lead villain in Tezuka's original Metropolis manga, where he is the head of an underground criminal group. He is responsible for commissioning an artificial human, and uses robot slave labor to develop weapons of chemical warfare. Since this manga, he has appeared most often as antagonist throughout Tezuka's works. Often, Red is in the role of a misguided father trying to protect his children with his best intentions; one particular example of this is his appearance in the 2001 film version of Metropolis . He is the adopted father of Marduk leader Rock , but neglects him in favour of the robotic reconstruction of his deceased daughter Tima.


Astro Boy

Rock's design is very simple but iconic, with heavy bangs and sideburns, and a heart-shaped face. Usually his hair is either brown or black, but he has been blonde in very early roles. He often wears sunglasses and slick formal suits, and long jumpsuits when he plays futuristic roles.


Astro Boy

Saburo is a human male aged somewhere in his late teens. He, like the other members of the bike gang, is close to Daichi's age. He has feathered blue hair in a bob cut, styled with spiked horns on either side of his head. He has striking facial features, with a sharp nose and big grey eyes.
Saburo's usual cruising outfit is a jean vest with heavy shoulder pads, high-waisted jeans, bulky gloves, and a yellow crew neck T-shirt. He wears polarized motorcycle goggles and red angular face paint markings.

A diehard punk, Saburo is wild and in-your-face. He and the rest of Daichi's gang had a penchant for causing chaos and harassing strangers on the road. Saburo was a good friend to Daichi, albeit only when the latter was a human.

Saburo's goggles are visible in the lower left corner

Upon learning Daichi is a robot, Saburo and the other gang members begin to mock Daichi to his face. In the same moment, Saburo admits that the gang only hung out with Daichi because of his family's power and wealth. The gang is surprised when Daichi does not take this information well and vengefully transforms into Atlas.


Astro Boy

Sapphire has short brown (sometimes black) curly hair. While this could be compared to Hamegg 's hair, Sapphire's hair is more modelled after early 20th century American fashion and cartoons, such as Nell Brinkley artwork and Betty Boop . She has very shiny, colourful eyes, which set a precedent for shoujo manga character designs in the 1950s. Sapphire also tends to dress in masculine attire and formal wear.
As a princess, Sapphire wears a golden blonde long wig and ornamental gowns. She wears a ribbon with the same pattern as her prince bonnet's ribbon, hence the manga's original title meaning "Ribbon Knight". As the Phantom Knight, Sapphire obscures her face with a carnival mask, and wears non-royal fencing gear. Sapphire's love interest Prince Franz has no idea these identities are all the same person, and views the Phantom Knight and Sapphire as competition for the princess's heart.

As the heir of Silverland, Sapphire is a very outgoing, adventurous youth. She was raised as a boy, which has let her receive princely training in fighting, fencing, and horseback riding. Sapphire is sporty and athletic, but she still likes to be feminine sometimes; one of Sapphire's alter-egos is a mysterious princess with fancy gowns and long blonde hair. Although Sapphire questions her gender identity, she enjoys being able to switch between gender roles. She refuses to let Tink take back her male "heart" because of how many of her hobbies and traits could leave with it.
Sapphire is also fiercely loyal to her family and friends. Due to the circumstances of her youth, she has a lot of trouble making close friends, but eventually warms up to Tink and Hecate upon understanding their individual plight.
Sapphire has appeared in other Tezuka series via the Osamu Tezuka Star System. Tezuka was very fond of Sapphire, and would sometimes cast her as an adult in more serious, mature roles. One such role is in the Black Jack chapter "The Heroine of the Tunnel" (1974): Sapphire plays a kindergarten teacher who gives her life protecting her students after a bus accident. One of Sapphire's more comedic roles is as a clumsy reporter in the 1993 Ambassador Magma OVA series.


Astro Boy

Saruta is one of the few characters to have a nose as large as that of Hiroshi Ochanomizu . However, Saruta's nose is distinctly afflicted with granuloma annulare , causing numerous small bumps on it. Many of Saruta's ancestors had the same condition, but not all of them. Also unlike Ochanomzu, Saruta most often has a full head of hair and a mustache.


Astro Boy

Saturn was originally created in 1948 for Tezuka's manga Magic Mansion . Here, he was known as the Great Devil, and designed to embody everything Tezuka found frightening as a child [1] . He has sharp, exaggerated features, piercing eyes, and enormous muscles. Saturn is also visually reminiscent of early American cartoon villains, such as Bluto from Popeye , and of European fairy tale characters [2] .
Saturn's Star System roles are limited outside of the Astro Boy franchise [3] . He is most known for his consistent appearance in the Astro Boy story, "Robot Land".


Astro Boy

Shadow always wears monochromatic robes in similar style to a classical pierrot . His tunic and hood are split in colour down the middle, asymmetrically, with a striking yellow eye on his hood. Shadow also has a billowing cape attached to his thick shoulder pads.

He will very rarely take off his hood. Initially, his face underneath was a basic, unfurnished robotic face, similar to that of A-106 . However, later on, he modifies his own appearance after Dr. Tenma comes to Robotonia - giving himself a replica of Tenma's own face. After the siege on Robotonia, it is unknown if Shadow has kept Tenma's face, as he continues to wear his eye hood.


Astro Boy

Most of the time, Holmspun wears a plaid flat cap and matching coat.
However, due to some criminal blowing up his cars, doctor's had to amputate his limbs and torso. As a result, his head is his only flesh while the rest of his body is artificial. But after the Kin Sankaku shot him, his head became artificial as well, making him a full time robot.

Holmspun takes pride in his job as a detective, but he hates robots. As such, he first had difficulty working with Astro. However, he began to warm up to him, and he was proud to be a robot once his head go replaced.


Astro Boy

Shibugaki is a 10 year old human boy. He is very tall for his age and has a large build, which causes him to stand out from his classmates. He has distinct, pug-like facial features, with his most prominent feature being a set of enlarged buckteeth. In the 1980 series, his nose is cartoonishly exaggerated to look like a rounded square.
Shibugaki has short black hair in most series. In the 2003 series, he is blonde, and in the NOW! Comics series, he is bald. He usually wears sporty but preppy clothing such as polo shirts and sweaters.


Astro Boy

Simon is a basic, outdated humanoid robot. He is made of shiny chrome, with detailed joins and angular features. His eyes are animated red LED lights on a narrow black screen. He is about as tall as an average human male.

While Simon is an older model of robot, he does have a strong personality. He tries his best to console Astro, whom has just been sold by Dr. Boynton and brought into the abuse of the circus.
Simon is set in his idea that Astro is a potential robot saviour. But, knowing Astro is still a child, Simon repeatedly assures Astro that is is the most powerful and advanced robot in existence, and that nobody can destroy him.
Simon is tremendously friendly and compassionate towards any robot he meets. However, Simon is at best apathetic towards humans. He has witnessed other robots at the circus like Bugsy wishing they could hurt humans, and has ignored or even agreed with this.


Astro Boy

Osamu Tezuka originally modeled Skunk Kusai's design after the American actor Richard Widmark, particularly Widmark's character Tommy Udo in the 1947 film Kiss of Death . This led to Skunk's exaggerated character design of a long forehead and sunken eyes.
He is a lanky, strong, and odd-looking man in his 30s-40s. He is blonde, usually appearing with short hair and bangs, or a chin-length bob cut, and noticeably lacks any eyebrows.  In later appearances, Skunk is coloured to have deathly-pale or outright blue skin to make him look ethereal and sickly, though he is occasionally depicted with more natural skintones. His face was noticeably thin and somewhat gaunt in his earlier appearances, but later ones often thickened his face to make him appear more thuggish.

The very model of a gangster, Skunk is cruel, greedy, unscrupulous and doesn't care who he has to step on to get his way. All of these traits grossly pale in comparison to his ambition, which ranges from petty theft to political sabotage via extortion. While not a scientific genius or mechanically inclined by any means, Skunk can always worm his way into the graces of those he can take advantage of, willingly or otherwise.
Skunk is best known for his trademark cackle, which has been compared to that of a hyena's laugh.


Astro Boy

Spider resembles a small, strange bipedal humanoid. He has wide eyes and a long, tube-like nose, similar to Inspector Tawashi 's nose. Spider seems to have only one arm with a little round hand, which he only sometimes uses. He wears a black smock and brown shoes, and is bald aside from one squiggly hair.
Usually Spider will appear in a scene by sliding or running in towards other characters. In other instances, he will be drawn into a scene just to alleviate dramatic moments or to fill visual space.


Astro Boy

Tamami has the appearance of a soft-faced girl in her early 20s. She is very tall and limber, with long lavender hair that flows into enormous curls. As a humanoid, she wears a navy blue and purple jumpsuit with matching ankle boots. She can turn into any kind of animal, including a cocker spaniel and a swan; these animals are always the same shade of lavender as her hair. Tamami designed her human form for different reasons in either dub; in the English dub, she tailored herself after Saruta's memories of his daughter. In the Japanese version, she takes the form of the most beautiful woman Saruta can think of.


Astro Boy

Tamao has looked fairly consistent through each Astro Boy series. He wears big glasses, a hat, and sometimes preppy clothing. He is most often seen wearing running shoes, shorts, and long-sleeved shirts. Until the 2003 series, his hat was a simple baseball cap; later on, it becomes a hefty dogear cap with built-in headphones and antennae.
Tezuka partially modeled Tamao on himself as a child; Tamao and Tezuka's self-portrait both have round faces, thick glasses, and round noses. Tamao is almost always shown with a hat on, but without it, it's shown he has a buzzcut hairstyle.

Tamao is a very energetic elementary school student. He is fascinated with robotics and science, which makes him immediately interested in Astro. In the 2003 series, he arrives late for school, but becomes incredibly excited upon seeing Astro is in his classroom. He studies machinery and is able to identify much of Astro's mechanics. He can be easily overwhelmed and startled, and likes to stay close to his friends and in safer areas. As enthusiastic as he is for Astro's adventures, Tamao would prefer to watch from a safe distance.
In the 1963 series, he is known as Tommy, and is friends with Astro but often bullied by Shibugaki . In the 1980 series, his friend group is composed of Kenichi and Midori . In the 2003 series, Tamao is friends with Shibugaki for the first time, whom is renamed as Abercrombie in the English dub.
In Little Astro Boy , Tamao appears as Paul, a guest character who usually appears as a sports announcer or to cheer on Astro. Tamao very briefly appears in the NOW! Comics Series , but only for a few panels in issues 11 and 12.


Astro Boy

Inspector Tawashi is a tall, lean middle-aged human man. He is bald, except for several small hairs and a full mustache. Tawashi's name means "scourer", a specific type of oval-shaped polishing brush. [1] His nose is designed to resemble this particular brush.
Tawashi is always dressed in either formal three-piece suits or police uniforms. In older series, he wears an undersized bowler hat.

Tawashi is, by nature, extremely standoffish and gruff. In most series, he strongly dislikes robots, in part due to his old-fashioned policing style. He has a bad habit of jumping to conclusions and blaming robots for various unsolved crimes. He believes that law and order is the only way out of a situation, though he most frequently jumps to the wrong conclusions, inevitably making the situation worse.
As opinionated as Tawashi is, he's still dedicated to solving mysteries and getting dangerous individuals off the streets. In some series, Tawashi is accompanied by the much more level-headed Chief Nakamura . Nakamura is also the only person who Tawashi lets correct him or banter with him.


Astro Boy

Hoshie has long black hair that she usually ties back. As a child, she would keep it in braids, but as an adult she keeps it pinned high on the back of her head. She has always dressed in modest clothing, like long dresses and skirts, and aprons when at home.
Hoshie is also the model for Astro's robot mother in some continuities. Particularly in the manga and the 1963 anime, Astro's robot mother dresses and wears her hair just like Hoshie. This is said to be because in Once Upon a Time Astroboy Tales , Tenma stole Ochanomizu's planned robot mother, and programmed her to behave just like Hoshie.

In Atom: The Beginning , Hoshie is the granddaughter of Dr. Saruta , and the daughter of Tsukie Saruta . She was extremely shy, especially around the young Tenma, to the point of Saruta having to help introduce her to others. Hoshie was also shown to be an intelligent, dutiful student just like her mother and grandfather.
As an adult, Hoshie is much more self-spoken. She is one of the few characters who can stand up to Tenma and contrast his opinions. She is loyal to her son; initially she is horrified by the robot Tobio, but soon comes to love him just as much as the human Tobio. When Tenma's behaviour gets increasingly erratic, Hoshie becomes disgusted with him. She makes the decision to divorce Tenma and hopes to get Tobio away from him.


Astro Boy

Tobio obviously resembles a human version of Astro. However, where Astro has hair spikes, Tobio has natural cowlicks in his bangs and at the back of his head. He is generally portrayed with brown or black hair, and wears preppy, conservative clothing such as sweater vests.

In most series, Tobio is a smart but shy child. He was a clever student, but preferred staying at home or with his family members. Because Tobio's death is a major part of most Astro Boy series, not much is shown of Tobio's normal life, unless during Astro's origin story or via other characters' flashbacks.
Tobio's relationship with his father was strained. As the Minister of Science, Dr. Tenma had numerous responsibilities that kept him from away from home. Tobio had great respect for his father, but rued not being able to spend more time with him. In the 2003 series, Tobio was especially withdrawn at school and did not have very many human friends.
In the short film The Secret of Atom's Birth , Tobio remarks that his mother died of an "illness" when he was an infant and he never got to know her. Elsewhere in the manga's "Once Upon A Time" arc, Tobio's mother Hoshie was an active part of his life and took care of him.


Astro Boy

Umataro Tenma is a very striking-looking man. He has black curly hair styled into soft pompadour with a matching goatee. He has a distinct pointed nose, too, which has led to characters comparing Tenma's overall appearance to that of a rooster . He is also fairly tall and well-built, towering over most characters in the series. He dresses in very formal clothing such as suits, even when at home.
When he was younger, as seen at age 20 in Atom: The Beginning , he was fairly gangly and skinny. He also straightened his bangs and tended to dress in all black.

Dr. Tenma can be described as brilliant, innovative and dedicated. Underneath these praises however, he is also prideful, socially distant and borderline obsessive. He is often neglectful to his son, despite becoming obsessed with bringing him back as a robot following his tragic death. He is initially kind and happy with Astro, attempting to become the father he never was back when his son was alive. Unfortunately, as the illusion of having a robot for a son slowly sets in, Tenma becomes troubled and at times spiteful at his failure at bringing his son back, usually all too happy to get rid of what he considers a symbol of his failure as a scientist.
However, once Dr. Ochanomizu takes Astro in, Tenma grows obsessive with getting Astro back. He often ignores Astro's feelings and is capricious when his plans are foiled- he will apologize for his actions in one chapter, then attempt to get Astro back to him in another. However, in the manga chapter, "The Greatest Robot on Earth", Tenma and Astro appear to be on good terms with each other, and Tenma upgrades Astro to have one million horsepower. While Tenma and Astro never manage to truly reconcile as father and son, they learn at the very least to work together.
Tenma's personality has varied wildly over the different iterations of the Astro Boy franchise. In the 1980 series, Tenma is quick to lose his patience with Astro as he struggles to adapt to acting human, but is significantly less socially dysfunctional than his original iteration, both working with his fellow scientists and quickly attempting to reconcile with Astro after losing his temper. In the 2003 series, Tenma's social difficulties are intensified, depicting him as antisocial from childhood and descending into maniacal delusions as an adult, believing robots should replace humans with himself as their overseerer. In the 2009 CG movie, Tenma is depicted as well-intentioned but socially awkward,  never descending into the troubled mannerisms of his past counterparts and doing his best to make up for his past mistakes.


Astro Boy

Tiara has frizzy brown hair, which she maintains in a short bob with gold ornaments on her bands. She wears a big pink bow around her neck, a powder pink cloak tied around her waist, and a purple leotard over a striped bodysuit with dark purple ballet shoes. She is very tall and thin.

Tiara is elegant and stylish, making her own fashion with what she can find. She is an outgoing and level-headed member of Boon's group of friends. Tiara is especially closest with Jake , whom she calls "Jay-kun" in the Japanese dub. When Boon takes Astro under his wing, Tiara is impressed with Astro's powers and immediately welcomes him in to Outland's culture.

Tiara twirling to a drum and harp

Tiara is one of the more popular villagers in Outland. She has grown up in the village, and can now be found working in the village's soup kitchen, or dancing at their public gatherings. Her dancing style is a mix of ballet and salsa, which she sets to whatever music the people of Outland can put together.


Astro Boy

Tonto is an average-looking humanoid around the age of 9-10. He has glossy black hair with one central spike, leading from his forehead widow's peak to the back of his head. This spike also functions as a radio antennae. Instead of ears, Tonto has dial-like receivers on either side of his face. Tonto usually wears slick but modest clothing, such as dark jackets and turtleneck sweaters.
In the 1966 adaptation of the Blue Knight arc, Tonto has three buttons along the top of his head instead of the spike.

Tonto Los is confident but very stubborn. When Astro first meets him, Tonto is very shy, but he soon opens up to his classmates...after they begin mocking him for being a robot. He will not take anti-robot sentiment lightly, believing strongly in his older brother's plans for advanced robot rights. Tonto admires Astro and considers him a friend, but is frustrated by how much Astro cares about humans.
In reality, Tonto is traumatized by his near death experience at the hands of a human. Before his brother-in-law, Count Burg , met the Los family, Tonto was an ordinary young boy. His older siblings studied music and the arts, and likewise, Tonto was quite interested in nature. He was the baby of the family and idolized his older siblings. When Tonto overhears that Maria is being abused by her husband, he sneaks out of his father's home to go and break out Maria. Burg catches the siblings and beats them so badly that it deactivates their systems.


Astro Boy

He is an early robot, like Zog , and has a simple, streamlined design with limited colors. Trashcan is beige, with brown markings on his head, body, and legs, similar to the markings on a beagle. His joints are kept in place with large round fasteners.
Trashcan was designed to be a garbage can that could move on its own. As a result, he has limited articulation and appears to be of a lightweight metal, which allows him to move quickly. His eyes are blue OLEDs that can express his emotions accordingly.

Trashcan is programmed to act just like an organic domestic dog. He is plucky and energetic, and able to play tricks with Cora , Astro , and the other kids. Trashcan is a basic AI robot, but this makes him smarter than an average dog. He can read and write and accept complicated orders.
He is quite similar to Jump in how he becomes Astro's loyal pet dog.


Astro Boy

By pure coincidence, True bears a strong resemblance to Astro, sharing the same height, build, and face shape. True wears a blue jumpsuit with white and red details. He has matching blue helmet-like hair with two points on either side of his head. These points can slide down, making way for a propeller to ride from inside his head. This propeller can spin strong enough to carry True dozens of metres above the ground. If the blue button on his collar is pressed hard enough, True will power off.
In the manga, True wears casual clothing and looks more human-like. He has black hair with one long, curling cowlick, which spins as a propeller when he needs to fly.

True is a happy, upbeat robot. He looks and behaves like a normal elementary school boy. His best friend is Pearl Domoto, his creator's human daughter whom is blind. True works as a seeing-eye guide for Pearl but does genuinely enjoy hanging out with her. He is programmed to respond to any questions with the opposite of the truth - ergo, lying, something that's forbidden by the laws of robotics [1] .
In the anime, True is completely oblivious that he's ever lying to someone else. He will take orders from Dr. Domoto and follow them to a T, but otherwise, nothing he says can be trusted. In the manga, True is more aware of the chaos caused by his lying. He will use lies to trick anyone pursuing him in an attempt to get away.


Astro Boy

Though Uran has had less consistent designs compared to her older brother she has always looked fairly similar to her older brother but with some differences. She has the same jet-black hair as Astro but hers has spikes curling up symmetrically on both sides of her head, She has a slightly thinner body type compared to Astro and at times stubbier feet. She has been shown to wear clothes more often than Astro, usually a dress, the color of the dress may vary  but in merchandise and other artwork it is usually pink. She also has either pink, red or black small lace-less shoes. Though her appearances are varied between, adaptations this is usually how she looks

Uran is very self-spoken and independent. Unlike her brother, she is selfish, obstinate, impulsive and prone to acting on her own, which often leads to her headstrong attitude causing trouble for herself or others. She hates being left behind or having people think she's weak. Uran idolizes Astro, whom she is very close to and loves tagging along with his adventures regardless of wether or not he approves.
Uran loves art and nature. She tends to hang out with animals and in forests. Uran is very empathetic to the point where she can even sense what others are feeling or thinking.


Astro Boy

Count Guiss was designed to be a combination of Kin Sankaku and Count Burg . Guiss is a short, paunchy white human aged somewhere in his 50s-60s. He has black, slicked-back hair, with thick sideburns and a mustache. He also wears a monocle, in spite of the technological and medical advancements around him. Guiss usually wears either a thick red housecoat and ascot, or a white linen suit with a red bolo tie.
Guiss also bears a strong resemblance to Tintin villain Roberto Rastapopoulos, particularly his appearance in the animated film Tintin et le Lac aux Requins (1972). The film was not officially released in Japan until 1995 [1] , but it played in European theatres at the same time as Osamu Tezuka's Cleopatra (1970) [2] , making it quite possible that Tezuka could have seen Tintin et le Lac aux Requins himself.


Astro Boy

Zane is a slender teen with fair skin, shaggy black hair and brown eyes.


Astro Boy

In his complete form, Zeus is a bipedal humanoid robot. He resembles a Caucasian young man in his late teens, with long blonde hair and brown eyes. Uran becomes smitten with Zeus's appearance in spite of his violent acts. He is dressed in a grey jumpsuit with red details and a belt. When on the job with Lamp, Zeus will wear a wide-brimmed fedora and long beige trench coat.
In his CPU unit form, Zeus resembles a small silly toy dog. He is even shorter than Uran, only as tall as her chin when standing beside her. Zeus is oblong in shape, with a pointed nose and behind, which resembles the snout and tail of a dog. He walks on two legs, and is covered in red plating and protruding electrical connections from where he connects into the rest of his body. Zeus is able to disconnect from his body and walk around freely, and then reconnect by opening a lock mechanism via the back of his body's head, which then emits a magnetic beam to pull him back into place.

Zeus was designed to be easily manipulated. He obeys Lamp's orders only because he is programmed to. He hates his reputation as a murderer, and this causes him to act out behind Lamp's back. Zeus is very naive, but also unable to trust others because of his experience with Lamp. At one point, Zeus considers Uran his first friend, but later feels betrayed & insulted when he realizes Uran thought his humanoid form was pretty while his CPU form was ugly.


Astro Boy

Zog is said to be a large, derelict construction bot with extreme brute strength and capacity, built 100 years before the events of the 2009 film but left on the surface. Compared to modern robots of his size, Zog is simplistic and primtive. His hull protects him from erosion to a certain degree.

Wrecked Zog

After being reactivated, Astro and Cora bring Zog to Hamegg . He immediately becomes part of Hamegg's robot arena, and Hamegg's adopted children help clean and redecorate Zog. He gets a proper polish, and is hand-painted with patterns and his new name.

Zog is an AI-enabled robot, but his personality is very limited. He has the ability to speak but does not do so often. Zog also has a strong distaste for humans, due to the treatment he received as a construction worker.

Zog lends Astro some of his energy

At one point, Zog rebels against Hamegg. He predates the Law of Robotics [1] , is unbound by them, and is also aware himself.
In spite of his brutal edge, Zog is a strong ally to Astro Boy, as both are powered by the blue core's energy and therefore are relatively pacifistic. The two are pitted against each other at Hamegg's robot arena, but they refuse to fight. He later returns the favour by sparing some of his blue core capacity to revive Astro.

In Mana Khemia, he appears to have short red spiky hair, yellow eyes, and a short white streak right below his eyes. He wears his version of the Class 1-B uniform which includes a less formal sleeveless black shirt, gray pants, black boots with leather straps that match his two-pouched belt and suspenders, a tattered white cape, and black and blue bandages around his arms.

Someone who likes and exciting life and dislikes a boring world, Flay is described as an infamous troublemaker whose name is known by everyone at the school.


Atelier

Prior to the story, it was revealed that Jess used to live in a village with her parents. As a child, she was afflicted with a serious disease. No doctor had been able to cure her and it seemed hopeless. However, the legendary alchemist, Theofratus Aurelius , managed to rid the girl of her disease but came at a heavy cost. As a result, Jess' lifespan had been greatly reduced. She was enrolled in the academy because she practiced alchemy without a license, and it was considered a heavy crime. However, Ernentraud Karnap spotted her talents and instead of casting her into the prison, Ernentraud offered her parents to enroll their daughter to the academy.


Atelier

She is the mysterious nurse of Al-Revis Academy . She offers a job involving 30,000 cole for someone to go deep sleep.
During the first Summer break, Vayne and co come to the Infirmary during the night as Flay claims there are pools of blood inside. As Vayne and co try to switch on the light to see whether the pool is a pool of blood or not, Miss Melanie asks them to sniff the "perfume" before doing so which causes them to fall asleep and allows her to clean the mess.
The first time they fall asleep and teleported to the Infirmary with the Wings of Icarus, Melanie claims she took something from them while unconscious. Vayne then asks her what it was that she took, but she refuses to reveal this and says it's a secret.

Story: "Today was quite productive. The fools guided me around campus, oblivious to my plans. However, it may not be a bad idea to learn alchemy. Note to self... The pompon on my head seems to attract human interest. I must change the activation lock for the defense mechanism. If I keep self-destructing, they may suspect something..."
In Chapter One, Muppy devices a plan to take control of the school. He asks Vayne if he could show him around the campus, and Jess and Nikki tag along as they show Muppy around the Campus. He will scan the Athanor, Music Room, and the Campus Grounds. He seems to recognize the Symbol of Uroburos when he sees it but doesn't disclose this to the group. Jess explains to him that it is supposed to show a snake eating itself. When he hears this, he is disgusted and faints.
After recovering, they follow him to the Cafeteria and he will thank the group for showing him around. Jess will then ask if she could touch "it." Muppy realizes that she meant the "crown" (the pompom on his head) and she starts to squeeze it. Nikki, Jess, and Vayne will start squeezing it, saying that it's so squishy when Muppy's "defense mechanism" activates. All three of his tour guides run out and an explosion occurs.
The Vice Principal walks up and asks them if this student who flew into her office window was part of their workshop. They complain that Muppy exploded himself and they should not be punished. Nonetheless, they were tasked with the repair of the cafeteria.


Atelier

Nikki is first introduced when Vayne was forcefully taken to Flay 's workshop, Nikki being the first to join him. The Vice Principal, unhappy that Flay stayed in school yet again for another year, then demanded them to bring her an item or else they will not be allowed to use the workshop.
Eager for adventure, Nikki immediately suggests them to set out for the Living Forest, where they first encounter a Koalaria. For the first time also, Vayne shifted into his combat form, much to Nikki's excitement. After they had defeated the monster, Nikki commented on how she wanted to have a shifting weapon like Vayne, much to his embarrassment.


Atelier

Pamela appears as a young girl with purple eyes, pale complexion, and gray, slightly wavy hair. She has a slender build with average height, wearing the standard uniform for female Al-Revis Academy, a long blue coat with white and golden trimmings, and a white skirt with blue lining. She also wears purple stocking and white-blue sneakers. She wears a blue hairband with two purple ribbons from the side of her hairband, and her hair was braided with two large purple ribbons. She always appears with her teddy bear.
In her ending, Pamela appears of wearing a white, sleeveless simple dress.

Despite the fact that she is a very old chronologically, Pamela thinks and acts like a child. She is very sweet, albeit, sometimes she is manipulating. She is very soft and is very feminine. She can come off as mischievous, pulling pranks on new students, enjoying teasing other people. She also can come off as very manipulating, often faking her cry to make people do her bidding.
However, albeit manipulating and mischievous, Pamela is actually very kind, and she only wanted to help people. Even when sometimes she comes across as toying with people's emotions, her feelings can be genuine too. She often broods about the fact that she will never be able to leave the academy, unable to be with her friends. But in all, she is a very sweet and soft character, the more feminine character of the party.


Attack on Titan

The 11th Commander appeared to be a middle-aged man with short black hair, a receding hairline and a pudgy face. Though he did not appear to have worn a bolo tie, he was seen wearing the standard Survey Corps uniform.

Unlike Keith and Erwin Smith , he seemed to obediently accept the norms of the Walls without any complaints.


Attack on Titan

Abel was a man of average height, with light skin, short, blond hair, and light stubble on his chin and cheekbones. He was noted for always wearing thick-rimmed glasses with bands around his head, to prevent them from falling off in combat. His clothing consisted of the typical uniform of the Survey Corps with the green cloak worn on expeditions.

Abel was a serious man and a devoted Survey Corps member, always acting bravely in battle and following his duties as a soldier. He seemed to be a loyal and reliable subordinate, since he was trusted to accompany high ranking members in critical situations, like the meeting in the hideout where Eren and Historia were being hidden from the government [3] and the following operation to rescue them from the Military Police First Interior Squad . [4] He was also shown to be rather cynical, at least towards the Military Police, as he told Marlowe Freudenberg and Hitch Dreyse to bring him their commanding officer 'If he was not drunk, of course' when they inquired about the Titan fight in Stohess District , as he refused to provide such information to low-ranking soldiers.


Attack on Titan

Abel was a 12-year-old blonde-haired girl with light, medium length hair that was cut with straight bangs and light eyes. She was only ever seen wearing a plain white robe and a white v-neck dress with a black waistband and white sandals, as was common for girls during any Reiss family gatherings. [3]


Attack on Titan

A man appearing to be in his mid 30's. He had short blond hair with gold colored eyes, as well as a little stubble on his chin. The look of his clothing suggests that he was a commoner.

He seemed to be a lighthearted, but hard-working man. When asked by Mikasa how babies were made, he jokingly claimed he did not know and suggested she ask Dr. Yeager when he arrives. [3]


Attack on Titan

Described by Historia as a very beautiful woman, Alma was slender and of average height. She had bright eyes and shoulder-length, blonde hair with bangs that brushed just past her eyebrows. When staying on the farm, she usually wore a plain button up shirt with a dark-colored skirt. She wore much finer clothing when going into the city. When she was a maidservant to the Reiss family , she wore a long black dress with a white apron and a white cap with her hair pulled back.

Alma is shown to be a very timid and almost lazy woman, who never helped her parents and prefered reading books.
She was likely to have had a more pleasant and understanding personality while in the presence of Rod Reiss, as he felt that she was the only one who could understand what he was going through. [3]
However, she carried a deep hatred towards Historia to the point of wishing she had the courage to kill her to save her own life. Most of the time, she avoided speaking or even being in the same room as her. Alma only spoke to her daughter twice, and each time, she expressed deep regret for Historia having been born. [2] [4]


Attack on Titan

Anka is a young woman who has blonde hair, long enough to reach her neck, that is constantly tucked behind her ears. As a soldier, she is seen wearing the usual Garrison uniform.

Not much is known about her personality, however, as a soldier, Anka is shown to express little to no emotion, except for the moment when she learns of the gate breach in Trost District , which leaves her shocked, and when she learns that the plan to seal the gate was a success she shows surprise and relief. [3] She seemingly follows orders without any objections, not questioning Pixis for going with such an uncertain plan as using Eren Yeager in his Titan form to seal the breach in the gate. However, she also understands the feelings of other soldiers and stated that there is a limit to how much one can be motivated by fear. [4] At the same time, it was shown that Anka's behavior towards Pixis is not completely formal, as she woke her superior up by slapping him as well as saying that she does not want to be stuck taking care of him. [5]


Attack on Titan

Annie is a young girl of considerably short height with a small yet very muscular build and physique. She has moderately short blonde hair that is often tied at the back with her right fringe mainly draping over the right side of her face (though she tends to push it to the side on occasion, possibly for better visibility); currently she wears it down and it falls slightly below her neck. She has an oval-shaped face, blue eyes, a Roman nose, and pale complexion. Her hair is particularly pale and, when untied, reaches down the nape of her neck. Her eyes, although of considerable size and proportion, often have a sullen vibe to their appearance. Annie's casual attire mainly consists of a hooded sweatshirt underneath a jacket accompanied by dark gray pants. She is often seen in the Training Corps uniform and then the Military Police Brigade uniform after graduation. Though Annie frequently dons hooded sweatshirts as part of her standard attire, she also wears her signature white hooded sweatshirt as part of her standard military attire. During risky missions, it is implied that she always wears her silver ring, which has a small folding blade, on her right index finger; she uses the blade as her primary means of causing self-injury to transform into her Female Titan form at any time.

Due to her harsh upbringing, Annie has become an isolated, exclusionary person; friendships do not come to her easily. She is rarely seen smiling and often has an emotionless expression. She is apathetic and somnolent, with little desire to put in any effort into meaningless disciplines or activities, and instead claims to focus exclusively on making it into the Military Police Brigade to obtain an easy life. [17] While Annie tends to have a realistic outlook on life, [18] [19] she holds a fascination and even feelings of respect towards people who have a deep sense of duty and righteousness—people who devote their lives to and even die for causes they believe in. [20]
Annie's sense of humor tends to be mocking, sarcastic, deadpan, and surprising. It also sometimes expresses a partial truth, and it happens mostly in intense situations. For example, when she was cornered by the Survey Corps in front of an underground passage, she claimed that she was a feeble maiden and mocked Eren as a suicidal blockhead. [21] Despite Annie's usually cold and calm demeanor, she is capable of expressing her feelings in various ways. At the times she does lose her composure, she usually reacts with violence. She beats up Reiner Braun for his cowardice after Marcel was eaten and for trying to manipulate her to continue a mission that had, in her view, already failed. [22] Also, while exhausted by her spy work and constantly avoiding hand-to-hand combat training, Annie is angered when he pushes her to take the training seriously, to the point she uses her fighting style on him, despite his protests and her already having demonstrated it on Eren at Reiner's bidding. [23] While outwardly callous, Annie has expressed levels of guilt and shock, most notably when apologizing to a certain corpse after the battle of Trost [24] and when Reiner emotionally manipulated her to help him kill Marco . [25]

Annie spies on Kenny

Annie is highly intelligent, able to think deeply about situations, and has shown considerable problem-solving ability and a quick wit. These personality traits, in conjunction with her calm attitude and analytical skills, make her a good tactician. [26] [27] [28] While undercover as a refugee, and later as a trainee, she does most of the spy work for the Warriors . [29] [30] Annie also realizes the contradictions of the military training system within the Walls and is not fooled by the Marleyan propaganda. [31] However, she is a bad liar, being called out on this by both Eren and Kenny , the former regarding her apathy towards her martial arts prowess, and the latter when she lies about being his daughter, even sarcastically insisting further. [32] [33] On the other hand, she is very good at spotting the lies of other people, seen when she realizes Armin Arlert 's dishonesty far before they had even reached the underground tunnel, as well as Reiner's lie about befriending their fellow trainees as being nothing more than a pragmatic attempt to gain their trust. [34] [35]
She is extremely practical and self-aware, being honest about her strengths and weaknesses, and is rarely ever prone to self-deception or emotional mistakes. A notable example is when she recognizes her lack of skill in seduction and charm when thinking about possibly seducing a member of the Fritz family , causing her to readily dismiss the idea. [36] Furthermore, she had a casual acceptance of her negative personality traits, freely admitting her faults even to almost-complete strangers such as Marlowe Freudenberg , [37] calling herself worthless and evil with no hint of self-loathing. She is nevertheless capable of self-loathing. For example, she proposed to Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover to get close to one of the men in the Fritz family and marry into it for the sake of her mission. [28] She also claimed to be as selfish as the Marleyan government. [19]

Annie genuinely smiles as she expresses her interest in teaching Eren her techniques

Annie is very concentrated on her mission as a Warrior, to the point that she is willing to kill to reach her goal, although she is somewhat hesitant to kill former comrades and sheds tears when she fails to capture Eren. [38] Though she is seemingly indifferent towards her capability as a hand-to-hand combat fighter, she remains proud of her skills and seems to enjoy the notion of fighting. [39] The only time that she is seen genuinely smiling is when she expresses a curious interest in teaching Eren how to fight in her unique fighting style. [40]

Annie cries after losing Eren

Nonetheless, what drives Annie more than anything is her desire for a normal life. Though she has no love for Marley itself, the only reason she is so concentrated on her mission is that it because it would allow her to go back home to her father, and she had urged Reiner several times before her eventual capture to return to Marley with the information they had gathered so far; despite her otherwise cynical and realist worldview, Annie managed to convince herself of the false notion that it would be enough to avoid punishment. [19] [41] When she lost Eren due to the actions of both Mikasa and Levi in the Titan Forest, Annie saw the easiest chance to return to her father was gone and she began visibly crying in her Titan form. [42]
After escaping her confinement, Annie undergoes a significant change in character, becoming more open about working with her former friends to stop the actions of Eren and the Yeagerists . [43] She also freely acknowledges to Hitch that she has committed unforgivable acts, something Annie normally would have kept to herself. [44] Later, as the Wall Titans ravage through Marley, she admits to Armin that she genuinely appreciated him visiting her for the four years she was enclosed inside her crystal. Annie also tells him she sees herself as nothing more than a monster. [45]


Attack on Titan

Armin has a boyish face, with large hazel eyes and a small pointed nose which is always distinctly a bit red. His blond hair is styled in a long undercut with bangs over his entire forehead. Armin has noticeable defined eyebrows and sideburns, indicating his age. His frame is, as it has always been, relatively small and lacking in muscle but not the definition. During the attack on Liberio , Armin is seen wearing a standard cloak for hiding purposes before he transformed . [11] He is noticeably a bit taller and has his hair cut shorter.
As a soldier in the Survey Corps , Armin is seen wearing their revamped black uniform for the night raid on Marley .
As a teen, Armin was rather short for his age, though he had a somewhat defined build. He had a round face with blond hair that is cut in the style of a bob and large expressive eyes with brown eyebrows. [12]
In his childhood, Armin wore a long-sleeved single-buttoned jacket with a collared shirt, long dress-pants, and dress shoes. [13] As a member of the 104th Training Corps , Armin wore the standard 104th Training Corps uniform with a white button up underneath.
Before the redesign of their uniform, Armin wore the standard Survey Corps soldier outfit. Underneath his short brown jacket, he had a white collared button-up shirt, similar to the one he wore as an adolescent. Like his comrades, Armin has supplemented his attire with a large green cape when participating in the expeditions outside the Walls [14] and missions. He also wore long brown boots that reach up almost to his knees, as the other soldiers did.

Even when he was young, the naturally curious Armin had a deep fascination with the world beyond the Walls . [16] As a child, he found and studied an illegal book about the outside world that was owned by his grandfather . He told Eren Yeager , his best friend, about the book and the information that was contained in it. Armin was branded a heretic by other children for his unusual interest in the outside world, and was thus frequently picked on. [17] Too timid to defend himself, Armin would often rely on his friends Eren and Mikasa Ackerman to protect him from local bullies. This, coupled with his frail physique, was a source of much shame for Armin, leading him to have poor self-esteem and to believe that he was a burden to others. Because of this, Armin has always been very eager to prove his worth. As a child, he hoped that one day he would be able to consider himself a true equal to his friends. [18] [19] [20]

Armin prepares to take action

When Armin got older he enrolled in military training and after graduating he joined the Survey Corps with Eren and Mikasa. He wanted, first, to try to make a good and meaningful impact on the world, and second, to fulfill his dream to see the outside world. [21] His curiosity has remained a strong personality trait from when he was young, driving him to do whatever it takes to ensure humanity triumphs over the Titans . [22]
Armin continued to have low self-esteem during his training years and for a short while after graduation. During this time, Armin considered himself to be useless due to his lack of physical strength and skill. However, soon after graduation, he came to learn that his mind is an equally valuable asset to the military, and that he can use his brain to help people. [23] Consequently, Armin gradually gains confidence in himself and his abilities. Nonetheless, he can still be hard on himself at times. The fact that he is so willing to sacrifice himself to achieve a goal shows that he still does not value his own life as much as he should. [24]
Armin is exceptionally loyal and selfless. He constantly worries for the safety of his friends. He is always prepared to throw himself into dangerous situations to save them, even offering to sacrifice himself for Mikasa. [25] When he, Jean Kirstein , and Reiner Braun had to decide who would be left behind without a horse , Armin immediately offered himself without hesitation. When Jean was injured in battle, Armin rushed to his aid, placing himself in danger as well. [26] [27] Although he and Eren were determined to live their dream of seeing the outside world, Armin was content to give up his life in order to defeat the Colossus Titan and to have his dream fulfilled through Eren. [28] Armin is also very level-headed, keeping Eren and Mikasa under control whenever their emotions get the better of them. He has talked down a fight Eren started with a soldier, and restrained Mikasa from acting rashly during Eren's military trial. [29]
Armin is a very analytical person. He likes to think deeply about situations and solve problems using his mind. These personality traits, in conjunction with his intelligence, good judgment, level headedness, ability to plan ahead, come up with creative ideas and to think outside the box, are what make him a great tactician. [22] He is not an extrovert or loud person. When he was suddenly thrown into a leadership role that involved being in the spotlight, speaking in front of people and ordering people around constantly, he got quite anxious and momentarily froze up; [30] while he has slowly become more adept at a leadership role, he has still shown some hesitation and anxiety when Hange promoting him as their successor and when Levi asked what they should do to stop the Rumbling. [31] [32] Armin has shown great investment in humanity's future, and is always striving for and thinking about how he can change things for the betterment of mankind. [33] [34] Armin is also good at thinking on the fly and improvising; when he noticed that the ultimate plan of both Zeke Yeager and Yelena seemed to go against how Eren viewed the world, he kept this to himself and quickly began to act in a manner that would make Yelena and the Yeagerists believe he also was driven by their cause. [35] [36]
Armin's hard and cruel life has caused him to have certain beliefs about how the world works. Armin believes that in the cruel world, in which they live in order to surpass monsters, accomplish goals or make a difference, one must be willing to sacrifice anything, including their humanity. Armin admires strong leaders such as Erwin Smith , Darius Zackly , Ian Dietrich , and Dot Pixis for their ability to sacrifice themselves and their humanity in order to achieve their goals. [37] He believes that tactical decisions should be based on logic rather than emotions, [38] and becomes noticeably affected when others (primarily Eren) do the opposite.

Armin is visibly shaken after killing many citizens and soldiers of Marley

Even though Armin makes calculated decisions, he is also a very emotionally sensitive and empathetic person. Due to Armin's kind heart, he faces conflict in his mind with his belief that he has to force himself to throw away his humanity. For example, Armin killed a person to save Jean as it was the logical thing to do; however, he became very emotionally upset afterward. [39] This, in conjunction with the fact that he is hard on himself whenever he does something wrong, means that he has yet to completely throw away his humanity. Armin's most consistent traits remain his kind heart and keen intuition, making him often concerned with the group's morality. [40] [41] Even when killing multiple Marleyan soldiers and civilians, Armin emerges from his Titan in tears. [42]
Despite this, Armin strongly believes that morality is relative and that there are no universal laws of good and evil. Therefore, he has a distaste for the terms 'good person' and 'bad person', since no one could be either good or bad to everyone. This makes him willing to concoct underhanded, morally questionable plans that shock some of his comrades. Notably, both Mikasa and Eren, his best friends, show no hint of surprise at this ability of his, with the latter even commenting that he had always known Armin was capable of it.


Attack on Titan

Artur Blouse is a large but not overweight man. He has shaggy brown hair, a thin goatee, and brown eyes. He is usually seen wearing a striped hat, a white t-shirt with a fur vest, and a loose tie. He also wears white pants, tall black boots, and carries a pack of arrows on his back along with a small supplies bag on his right hip.
In 854, he looks thinner and has a lighter goatee and mustache.

Blouse appears to be a man of rules, and devoted to his clan. He is a mature father figure, storing food for the winter and attempting to pry it out of his daughter Sasha 's hands when she begins to eat their supply. Though he appreciates his way of life, hunting with the clan, he realizes that many people's homes were taken by Titans and that they must share the forest. He is very wise, stating that though he would rather not, he may give up hunting and breed horses or sell crop for the good of everyone. Like his daughter, he has a native Dauper accent. [5]
Blouse is a very selfless man, and is constantly seen putting others before himself. He has no qualms about allowing refugees from Wall Maria to hunt on his land, despite the fact that it leaves less food for his family, as he recognizes the dire situation that they have been forced into by losing their homes. [5] Additionally, he and his wife decide to open their home up to orphaned children [6] going so far as to refer to them as his "family." [7] Perhaps the greatest example of this selfless attitude, though, is his decision to forgive Gabi Braun for murdering his daughter. Rather than blame her for shooting Sasha, he chooses to accept the blame himself for allowing Sasha to leave Dauper and join the military , and chooses to spare Gabi's life so that the cycle of violence that led to Sasha's death might stop in some small way. [2]


Attack on Titan

Baggy-pants Leon is a middle-aged man with light hair cut short and combed back, and pronounced sideburns running down to his jaw. He wears the standard uniform of the Survey Corps , though his pants inexplicably hang low at his waist, exposing his boxers.

Baggy-pants Leon appears to be a sloppy, ill-mannered man, openly wearing his pants far lower than acceptable for a soldier of the Survey Corps and arriving late to moments of critical importance. Despite his shortcomings, Leon seems to possess a bravado and determination to face his enemies head-on.


Attack on Titan

Bean was a Titan that stood 7 meters high and had short messy brown hair and brown eyes. Bean also had light peachy-colored skin like the other normal Titans.


Attack on Titan

Bertolt was a rather tall, slender young man. He was the tallest of all currently known holders of the power of the Titans . He had short, dark hair, brown eyes, thin eyebrows and an elongated face. He was seen mainly in his Trainee uniform, and after he entered the Survey Corps , he used their uniform. After his encounter with the Beast Titan , his hair appeared shorter and wore a trench coat. During the Warriors' battle in Shiganshina against the Survey Corps, Bertolt wore a set of vertical maneuvering equipment along with a collared shirt and dark pants.

Bertolt was a quiet young man who identified himself as someone with a weak will that follows popular opinion. Likewise, his instructor noted him to be a person with great potential, but an utter lack of initiative. [7] He was further described by Eren Yeager as being taciturn, and Bertolt tended to remain in the background unless necessary. By his own admission, he was somewhat of a coward and was noted for his low self-esteem.
His withdrawn behavior initially led to the impression of him being the least emotionally compromised of the three Titan warriors. He showed little attachment or remorse over his actions, seeming to care only about his partner, Reiner Braun . [8] However, when confronted by his former comrades and questioned about their friendship, he revealed himself to be far more conflicted and guilt-ridden than it originally appeared. [9]
He showed great devotion to both of his fellow warriors, Reiner Braun and Annie Leonhart , and was easily driven to action or anger when he felt either was threatened. [10] Initially, he showed himself to be wary of others and acted as a voice of reason to Reiner, repeatedly cautioning him about lowering his guard down. His interactions with Ymir also reveal that while his actions have caused considerable suffering, he was not a cruel person and was capable of showing genuine kindness towards others. [11]
Bertolt underwent a serious change in character shortly before and during the Battle of Shiganshina. He became detached, indifferent and cold, allowing him to fulfill his savage duty more efficiently. Bertolt remained calm and composed, and did not feel sorry or bad when he told his former friends that he will kill them and all humans inside the Walls because he had decided to do so. He was unfazed by Armin Arlert 's attempt at manipulating him by bringing up Annie, did not feel panic or dread when other Survey Corps soldiers were going to kill the helpless Reiner and he had to leave him to himself. He noted how Armin is unable to do anything to him as long as he shakes in fear of his presence.
Bertolt did not show complete disregard for the human race and his 104th Training Corps friends. He showed panic and slight tears when he, Reiner, and Annie left Marco Bott to die. [12] When confronted by Armin, he referred to his former comrades as "cherished friends" and repeatedly stated that they are not at fault. [13] This leaves the impression that Bertolt's reasons for wanting them to die were not personal, and were due to unknown factors outside of their current comprehension or knowledge. Bertolt once more showed sympathy for his old friends by expressing his disappointment in the waste of Armin's intelligence as he dies. He then decided to burn him as quickly as possible to put him out of his misery. [14]
Bertolt came to accept his villainous self, and rationalized that none of it was his or anyone's fault, but that the world is cruel, and all of it was inevitable. When the blast of his transformation failed to kill all of the soldiers, he expressed his disappointment at his former friends' continued survival.
Despite his calmness and utter fearlessness in the face of death and destruction, Bertolt was absolutely terrified of the thought of dying himself. As Armin's Pure Titan approached him, Bertolt frantically begged his former friends to save him then cried and screamed for Reiner and Annie before being brutally devoured.


Attack on Titan

The Bizarre version of the Armored Titan has dark plates of hardened skin covering the entirety of its body, except for muscles in its cheeks that become exposed when it opens its lipless jaw, as well as the muscle tissue behind its knees, elbows and feet. Its eyes are covered by white, organic lenses, and it has short, black hair that flows to the back of its head.


Attack on Titan

This soldier was a man of average height with long, black hair which he kept parted and swept out of his eyes. When not wearing the standard Survey Corps uniform, he could usually be seen wearing a long-sleeve shirt with another short-sleeve shirt over it and long, dark pants.

While serious on the battlefield, he was shown to be a very kind man, spending extra corps funds to provide meat for his comrades in celebration of their impending expedition.


Attack on Titan

Boris has straight ash blond hair with long bangs combed to the left. His expression is usually calm or neutral. He is commonly seen wearing the Military Police Brigade uniform with an off white button up shirt underneath.

Through appearances, Boris seemed to be prudent, pragmatic and pessimistic. He does not enjoy picking fun or laughing a lot, shown when he halted Marlowe Freudenberg and Hitch Dreyse from giving Annie Leonhart a hard time [2] and when he did not join Hitch in laughing or even smiling at Marlowe's ambition. However, he does not appear completely serious as he does humor Marlowe's goals and sarcastically wishes him luck. [3]


Attack on Titan

Calvi was a lean man in his late middle age. Being an officer holding high status, he was always seen well groomed and wearing a unique uniform which featured a sash running diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist, on top of the standard Marleyan tunic and shirt. He also wore four medals on his left chest, presumably indicating his position in the military hierarchy or past battle honors.

As an important leader of Marley 's military force, Calvi was an authoritative figure to his subordinate officers, being able to demand answers from even Theo Magath , commander of the Eldian unit of the Marley army. Being Marleyan by heritage, he was proud of his country's glorious history against the Eldian Empire, but he had also shown distress towards Marley's weakening status in the modern age. He shared his subordinates' contempt of Eldians, although it was expressed with more subtlety. For example, when he approved Zeke Yeager 's proposal to seize the Founding Titan again, he sarcastically remarked that his loyalty was not doubted because of the latter's betrayal of his parents in the Eldian Restorationists . [2]


Attack on Titan

Carla was an attractive, fair-skinned woman of medium height with a slender build. She had large light eyes, long dark hair tied loosely, hanging on her right shoulder with bangs on each side and only a few short hairs kept loose on her forehead. When she was seen inside her home, Carla wore a cream-colored sweater with frilled sleeves and a long red skirt with a white apron and small tan boots.
During her younger days, Carla could be seen wearing a short-sleeved dress with a black front laced corset over top.

Carla had a kind, willful, and concerning nature, reprimanding her friends and family for dangerous decisions. This was mainly seen during her interactions with Eren when he wanted to join the Survey Corps , showing her motherly care. [6] Unlike Shadis , Carla was more content with the simple aspects of life and did not believe that is necessary to be acknowledged by others, seeing that existing is special on its own.
Carla had been known to be protective towards her family, enough to put them before herself. This was shown when her parents were sick at her side and when her children were in potential danger for attempting to rescue her from a Titan . [7] However, once Eren and Mikasa left earshot, she whispered that she did not want them to leave her alone to die and continued crying until her death. [8]


Attack on Titan

Carlo was a young Marleyan boy of short stature and slim build. He had a rounded nose and short blond hair parted down the middle. He wore round-rimmed glasses at all times as well as a standard Marleyan military uniform.


Attack on Titan

Like the majority of specially bred Survey Corps horses , Charlotte was tall in stature with a dark coat of hair.


Attack on Titan

This minister is a somewhat short, rotund man, with short black hair that he kept neatly combed. Before Erwin Smith's uprising, he regularly wore extravagant clothes while helping King Fritz run the government . After being overthrown, however, he is only allowed to wear clothes from the knees-down while in captivity.

The minister is a cruel, selfish man who cares only about his own interests, and gives no thought to the well-being of the Walls ' citizens. After being tricked into believing that Wall Rose has fallen, he orders that all refugees be barred from entering Wall Sheena, for fear that resultant food shortages would lead to civil war within Wall Sheena. After being imprisoned by the Military , he attempts to threaten Darius Zackly by claiming that the Reiss family will erase all of the usurpers' memories, insulting Zackly by claiming that he has "slave blood."


Attack on Titan

Colt was a physically fit, tall young man with long face, light hazel eyes and short light brown hair. Like his fellow Warrior candidates, he wore the standard Marleyan soldier uniform consisting of a light jacket and pants, supply packs on the hip, suspender straps, a hard hat with a stripe around it, and tall combat boots. As an Eldian , his uniform was different from that of the Marleyans, as his shirt collar has a small badge of the Eldian star instead of a small clip and his helmet has the same star with a brightly colored stripe instead of a pure black stripe. As is law in Marley, Colt also wore an Eldian armband as all his family and ancestors residing there did.

Colt was a dedicated and brave soldier, risking his life to go retrieve his wounded brother Falco Grice after he came under enemy fire. He showed great care for his brother as he gave him his hard hat as they fled and made sure his wounds were treated when they returned to the hiding trench. While caring and brave, Colt was also a tactical soldier who worked with his Commander to plan their attacks, despite his superior officers looking down on him for being an Eldian . Colt always appeared to have a guess of what moves might be made in advance by the enemy and tried to strategize to use their forces and the power of the Titans to take out the threat without losing lives.
However, he lacked discretion in times of leisure, having Pieck Finger share her alcoholic drink, despite being very bad at handling liquor.


Attack on Titan

Connie used to be one of the shorter members of the Survey Corps , standing two centimeters shorter than Levi Ackerman . He has a slim build, with gray eyes, and his brown hair is distinctively kept shaved. Connie is typically dressed in standard military garb, and will don the Survey Corps cape when on missions.
His casual attire consists of a simple long-sleeve white shirt and shin-length brown slacks.
By the year 854, Connie has grown significantly taller, now standing slightly above average height. His hair has grown slightly longer, but stays in the same general style, and his facial features have sharpened. During the Raid on Liberio , he wears a black uniform, with belts and support rods for his anti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment .

Connie can be best described as outgoing and impetuous. He has an easy time expressing his opinions, and enjoys flaunting his skills, especially during his days as a trainee. [7] Despite being in the military, Connie starts off as rather unfocused, and enjoys goofing around and messing with his friends, but can also be a bit dense at times. [8] [9]
Later, Connie's naive enthusiasm falls away after multiple close encounters with the Titans. He never becomes more serious, though to his frustration, he still has some difficulty comprehending new developments as they appear. [10] Connie also comes to terms with his own limits, disliking his lack of power, but eager to prove his worth. [11] For a long time, Connie remained optimistic, consistently caring for the well-being of his friends, family and village, and being willing to help in any way he can. [12] [13]
However, this soft spot and the tragedies he goes through takes a toll on him. Initially reacting to those situations with denial, alarm and search for negotiation with those he was betrayed by, he becomes with each new grief more prompt to anger, irritation and hatred, losing his optimism and gaining in readiness to act against his opponents in order to protect the few selected friends he considers to be family. [14]
His mother's transformation into a Titan appears to have had a big effect on his psyche, and combined with all of the tragedies he went through caused him to take drastic measures to ensure she became human again: this was primarily seen when Connie suggested feeding Falco to his mother. [15] He left his friends and took Falco hostage to his village, lying to him about taking him to a hospital and abusing his trust. [16] This reached the breaking point when Connie tricked Falco into brushing her mother's teeth, with the intention of pushing him into his mother's mouth, and when Armin and Gabi arrived to stop him, he held a blade to Falco's neck. [17] However, when Armin chose to jump into Mrs. Springer's mouth and allow himself to be eaten, Connie saved him at the last second, coming to the realization that his mother wanted him to be a good soldier, and knowing that having eaten Armin would just make her sad. [18]


Attack on Titan

Darius was an older man with avarage height and build, he had tanned skin and short unkempt black hair that he kept slicked back. He wore the typical uniform of a member of the Survey Corps .

Darius seemed to be a creative man, as seen when he used the signal flare to attack and blind the Female Titan so that other three soldiers could finish it off. [3]


Attack on Titan

Zackly had the typical appearance of an old man. His eyes were sunken and tired-looking, he wore glasses, he had noticeable wrinkles on his face, and his hair was receded and gray. He also had a gray scruffy looking full beard and mustache. In addition, he was rather short which gives him a presence uncommon for a man of his rank. Zackly's casual attire consisted of a plain white shirt with normal dark colored pants. In a more formal setting, he added a bolo tie, much like the three commanders under him, Nile Dok , Erwin Smith , and Dot Pixis . Over this, he wore a brown trench coat that had a black shield emblem with a white border and cross.

When he was first introduced, Zackly was said to be a strict military leader who was only concerned with the best interests of humanity. As the head of the entire military, his priorities were said to lie within what is best for all of humanity. Only after being logically convinced of Eren's usefulness did he pardon him. At this time he appeared to take most things lightly, as if he had experienced them previously. During the trial of Eren, he wore simple clothes and conducted the trial without any drama or passion. Similarly, he overthrew the monarchy with an incredibly casual demeanor. This indicates that Zackly had no time for drama and was solely focused on carrying out his judgments. He remained ever serious but at the same time appeared tired as if his age was catching up to him.
According to Armin , Zackly was among the people capable of abandoning their humanity to outdo the Titans as well as having the guts to also abandon things important to them in order to change something in the world, along with Erwin Smith, Ian Dietrich , and Dot Pixis. [7]
However, after Zackly assisted in the revolution against the monarchy he shows a completely different personality. He noted to Erwin that his only interest in participating was due to an intense and long-standing hatred of those in charge. He took great delight in seeing their fear when they fell from power. In direct contrast to the idea that he acted in the best interest of humanity, he told Erwin that he did not care if the revolution helps humanity or not. His only interest was his own desire to humiliate the monarchy, such that he set up a torture machine that fed one of them their own feces and called it a beautiful work of art, showing a demented and sociopathic side to him. [8] Ultimately, he was willing to admit that he valued his own life more than humanity. [9]


Attack on Titan

Daz had a short crop of spiky light hair. He had noticeable wrinkles around his mouth, apparently from his perpetual anxiety. He wore the normal uniform of the 104th Training Corps .
In the year 854, Daz's hair was slightly shorter and the lines on his face had become more prominent. As a Yeagerist he was only ever seen wearing the Survey Corps ' new uniform.

Daz was constantly terrified and had an ever-present fear of something bad soon to happen regardless of circumstances. He admitted to being so afraid of the Titans that he was glad to see his comrades be eaten rather than himself, and repeatedly attempted to either desert his post or commit suicide rather than face them again. To his credit, however, Daz was at least selfless enough to return to active duty after realizing that refusing to defend Trost District would guarantee the deaths of his family at the Titans' hands.
By the year 854, Daz seemed to have matured slightly. Although he was still in a constant state of anxiety, he seemed less prone to emotional outbursts in times of conflict.


Attack on Titan

In all illustrations depicting the Devil, it is shown as a large, crouching figure with a menacing smile. In the book Frieda Reiss reads to Historia , the Devil is covered in a large cloak and hood and has lipless mouth filled with sharp teeth, whereas in the book Yeager reads to Grisha , its head is exposed, revealing two goat-like horns and a long tail. It also appears with sharp claws, large muscles, and pointed ears.
In a bronze statue in Liberio depicting Helos slaying the Devil, he takes on a much less demonic appearance, becoming more Titan -like with a thick beard and a full head of hair, lacking visible horns.


Attack on Titan

Dimo Reeves was a short, overweight man. His head was balding with black hair on the sides and a thin dark mustache and beard. He had brown eyes and bright skin. He was usually well dressed, with a brown leather jacket, gray vest, and pink button-up shirt with red-brown dress pants and brown dress shoes.

During the Battle of Trost District , Dimo Reeves was a selfish businessman blocking the inner gate with his cart. He commented that people's lives were not worth half as much as his cart, and ordered them to push. He only relented when his life was threatened by Mikasa Ackerman , not due to any change of heart. [3]
Much later on, after his talk with Levi on top of the Wall Rose , [4] he was actually not as selfish as he first seemed, and he agreed to help the Survey Corps if they assured his survival. He turned out to be a very intelligent and honest man, although he obviously focused a lot on the profit of his business. His discussion with Levi also revealed that he was forced by the government to kidnap Eren Yeager and Historia Reiss . [5] Reeves said he was unsure the Military Police Brigade stood any chance against the "Titan killers" from the beginning. [6]


Attack on Titan

Dina was a small woman; petite in her frame and relatively short. Her eyes were large and light in color as was her fair skin. Dina’s blonde hair passes her cheekbones but does not reach her shoulders and is kept parted down the middle. It is a bit longer in the back than it is in the front and has some layers to it.
Dina usually wore a long ankle length skirt with a white button-up blouse, [7] but could be seen wearing a cloak [8] or a black coat over top sometimes. She has also paired this with a scarf over her hair and head. Like all other residents of the internment zone , she was forced to wear a white armband on her left arm with the symbol that indicates she is an Eldian . [9]
When taking a family photo, Dina was seen with her hair in an up-do, keeping her bangs still middle parted but pinned back. For this formal occasional she wears a long dress, light into color, with thick cuffs around the wrists with frills embroidered around the neck and chest area. [10]

Not much is known about Dina, however, it can be deduced that she was a very loyal follower of the Eldian Restorationists . She had a generally soft expression, sometimes plagued with worry. Although Dina admitted that the purpose of Zeke 's birth was to lead to Eldian Restorationists, she appeared to love her son deeply, and was horrified to learn Zeke was the one who turned them over to the authorities . [2]
Dina seemed to love Grisha Yeager unconditionally, as she appeared to be elated at the time they were married, and even when the Restorationists were banished and turned into Pure Titans , she promised Grisha that she would find him again no matter what happened to her. Her love for him was returned, as Grisha was very distraught and heartbroken to see her become a Titan.


Attack on Titan

Dirk was a man of average height and build, with long, light-colored hair that he kept pushed back out of his eyes. He also had a thin beard on his chin and cheekbones, and a small mustache. When not wearing the standard Survey Corps uniform his attire consisted of a white button-up shirt, dark pants, and a black vest.

Dirk appeared to be a rather calm, serious man. When violence erupted among the other soldiers, Dirk only made a casual note of their behavior, and made no effort to break up the fighting or intervene in any way. He seemed to be a trusted subordinate, as he personally escorted and advised Erwin Smith during the Survey Corps' mission to Shiganshina .


Attack on Titan

Dirk was a young boy, 14 years in age. He had shaggy black hair and bright eyes just as his father Rod and brother Urklyn did. He had been seen wearing a simple, light colored robe, a dress shirt, and a pair of black pants, as was common among the males during the Reiss family gatherings. [3]


Attack on Titan

Ness was a man of average height and build. He had a welcoming face with a mustache and also had a beard around his jawline. He was notable for the white bandana that he wore around his head, which concealed his bald spot, but showed light brown hair along the sides and back. He was never seen without the standard Survey Corps Uniform, but he did add the green cloak during expeditions.

Ness was a serious leader who never took his job lightly. At the same time, he truly cared for the new recruits and wanted to make their first expedition as easy as possible for them. This was proved as he was the one who taught them about the Long-Distance Enemy Detection devised by Erwin Smith . Ness was not a fan of fighting Titans and always tried to stick to the idea of avoiding them outside the Walls, however, he never hesitated to fight them when it was necessary.
He also had a more lighthearted side, as was shown when he thanked his horse Charlotte for coming back to him.


Attack on Titan

Sannes is a tall man with a short crop of dark-colored hair and bright eyes. He is usually seen wearing the Military Police uniform but is also seen wearing a white button-up shirt, black pants, and white shoes when he is tortured by Hange and Levi .

Sannes is an individual who holds a strong sense of loyalty to the king and keeping the security of the Walls, to the point of adhering to the murder and torture of others regardless of who they are to maintain peace. [4] Like most Military Policemen, he looks down upon those from the Survey Corps, regarding them as lackeys that only waste taxes used to fund them, unlike useful soldiers such as himself. [5] However, he has shown a degree of carelessness and did not take much caution when disposing of people viewed as threats, as seen when he revealed how he was aware of Nick's status in the Church of the Walls and how his valuables would be a motive for murder-robbery when the Minister's identity was concealed as a chair craftsman without a single piece of luggage, Sannes also left signs of torture on Nick's body and evidence of torn skin on his own knuckles. [6]
In spite of that, even when held captive and tortured, he refused to tell his abductors his knowledge about the Reiss Family, believing that even if he were to die that his comrades would carry on their task of protecting their great king and bring down the Survey Corp's coup d'état without him. [7] He believes that humanity was able to come this far in peace and without war was due to the efforts and sacrifices of the first squad Military Police, who would quickly murder these threats, and how people should be grateful towards their actions. [8] Sannes has shown a degree of cruelty, admitting that he enjoyed inflicting pain upon the helpless, feeling justified of his actions since he was doing it for the greater good and thought of what he was doing as just and moral. [9] But it is later revealed that Sannes has feelings of guilt and regret for his own actions of the past as Levi and Hange continue to torture him, crying to them that they should have fun and continue to hurt him without holding back, finally coming to realize just how much pain he inflicted on others during his life, asking to be tortured to death as compensation. [10]


Attack on Titan

Pixis was a bald man with a structured build. He had a distinguished mustache, with light skin and notable wrinkles under his eyes. As a commander, he also wore a bolo tie, much like his fellow commanders Hange Zoë and Nile Dok . As a high ranking Garrison officer, he was only seen wearing his Garrison uniform paired with a white button-up shirt and a red sash with gold trim.

Pixis was an eccentric man. While observing Titans breaching Wall Rose , he said that he would not mind being eaten by a Titan if "it happened to be a stunning beauty." [6] He retained a calm, and light-hearted demeanor, even in the midst of chaos, and he understands the strife and suffering of others, as he was seen allowing soldiers who wanted to leave because he understood the extreme amounts of terror and fear in those soldiers. [7] Yet, Pixis was an effective leader, as seen when he quiets all the soldiers attempting mutiny and successfully convinced them to continue fighting to retake Trost District . [8] He was an expert strategist and was able to gauge a situation carefully, but also knew when to take risks, which led to his decision to trust Eren Yeager to stop the breach. He was a man who made smart choices; putting Ian Dietrich in charge of the alpha squad protecting Eren Yeager proved to be a wise move as his leadership eventually led to the mission ending in success.
As noted by Armin , Pixis was one of the men who was able to sacrifice his humanity in order to bring change to the world, and as Pixis put it himself, he was willing to be a butcher if it meant humanity survived. [9] However, unlike similar men such as Erwin Smith and Darius Zackly , Pixis was truly invested in the progression of humanity and not guided by another goal such as vengeance or learning the truth of the world, as he expressed disdain towards both men for their selfish goals and would have gone against them if their actions went against humanity's survival.


Attack on Titan

Duran was a man of average height and build. He had short, dark hair, and a thin beard, and could be seen wearing a light-colored shirt and dark pants under his anti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment .


Attack on Titan

Eld had long blond hair which had a middle parting and a bun folded at the back to keep his hair tied. He also had a small beard. Like most other Survey Corps members, he wore a green cloak with The Wings of Freedom emblem on the back. He wore the same uniform as the other Corps soldiers.

Eld was a responsible and firm leader with a strong sense of duty. He did not talk much, but when he did, he spoke bluntly and in a straightforward manner.
He also seemed to have been a veteran of sorts as he teased Petra Ral and Oluo Bozado about having wet their pants on their first expedition, and sarcastically referred to them as "fine fearless soldiers." He also seemed to hold some sort of belief of what makes a true soldier, as he lectured Oluo that a kill record alone does not make a great soldier. [5]
When Eren accidentally transformed, he seemed to have been more concerned about the reasoning as to why and demanded an answer from Eren. His reaction was interesting in comparison to his comrades; Oluo threatened to kill Eren, Petra feared for Levi's life, and Gunther demanded evidence from Eren about his transformation and intentions.
Along with the other members of the Special Operations Squad, he had some remorse over his reaction to Eren's transformation as he bit his hand just like Eren, which symbolized a bond between them. [6]


Attack on Titan

Ellie is a small girl that has golden hair tied into two ponytails with big, brown eyes.

Not many things are known about her personality. She appears to be an innocent and shy girl, which can be seen when Eren Yeager sees her, making her feeling nervous. [1] Unlike her brother, she seems to be more quiet and calmer, as she did not scream loudly about the Survey Corps. [2]
