Annie Leonhart - Attack on Titan
Annie Leonhart is a female soldier who ranked 4th in the 104th Training Corps and enlists in the Interior Military Police Brigade , which is awarded only to the top 10 recruits in each training corps. She excels in combat, especially in hand-to-hand combat. During her military service, Annie worked closely with Armin Arlelt in the Survey Corps , which eventually led to her true colors being revealed.
Throughout her time in the 104th Training Corps, she hid her abilities and true colors well: the ability to transform into a Female Titan , as she was chosen to be one of Marley's warriors. In the year 845, she was sent to retrieve the Founding Titan with her comrades, Reiner Braun , and Marcel Gaillard.
After her identity was revealed, resulting in her defeat by Eren Jaeger and Mikasa Ackermann , she crystallized into a coma to protect herself and the secrets she held. Until her escape four years later, Annie was held captive by the Survey Corps [Chapter 34, Volume 8].

Personality
Annie comes across as socially withdrawn, unemotional, and painfully direct, displaying few hints of humor. She is a mysterious person who barely speaks and is difficult to approach, perhaps out of fear of having her secrets revealed. In contrast, Annie displays a high level of skill and intelligence when it comes to problem-solving. In the instructor's analysis of the Attack on Titan Guide (p. 55), Annie is shown to be the type of person who is incredibly independent and would likely perform well even on solo missions. However, Annie likely won't be as adept when working as part of a team in a large operation.
A natural fighter, she excels in her ability to remain calm, even in intense and difficult situations. This skill likely stems from the intense training her father put her through in her youth, as explained in Season 1 Episode 4. She easily defeats Eren and Reiner in a fight during the early days of the 104th Training Corps. While she is generally expressionless, one of the only times she is seen legitimately smiling is when she considers teaching Eren her unique fighting style.
In Season 3 , Episode 15 of the animated series, Reiner sees her helping Connie Springer when he was in danger. Reiner criticizes her with contempt and yells at her for sympathizing too much with his enemies. However, Annie shows her loyalty to her mission, as she helps kill Marco by letting him be eaten by a Titan .
At first, she hesitates and wonders why she should do such a thing, but she complies. The Titan passes by and notices Marco stranded on the roof. The three of them (Reiner, Bretholt, and Annie) watch as their comrade is killed by their own plan. Annie, however, shows her own humanity, as she truly shows remorse by escaping the scene.
In Season 1, Episode 17, Expedition 57 Beyond the Walls, Annie uses her Female Titan form to bring a horde of Titans to wipe out the Watchers' right wing.
There is a moment where Annie (as the Female Titan) finds Armin alone as he is thrown from his horse due to the impact of her feet landing next to him. She crouches down and lifts his hood to check his face. This happens twice, but she chooses not to kill him both times.
This somehow shows that she is not so cruel as to ruthlessly kill Armin, as her goal was to kidnap Eren [Season 1, Episode 17].
Annie Leonhart Powers of the Female Titan
Annie has the power to transform into a Female Titan , which unlike most other common Titans, has a body that has the same proportions as a human, though much taller. This form has short blond hair and dark facial expressions, similar to Annie herself. The muscle striations under her eyes give her a somber and stressed look. Unlike Eren in Attack on Titan and Reiner in Armored Titan , the Female Titan has visible lips and teeth similar to those of humans.
His Titan scores highly in agility, speed, and power. A special ability of this specific Titan is its ability to harden its skin, which can be used to strengthen its defense or increase its attack power by hardening its fists for punches or its legs for kicks. It has been seen using this hardening ability on its fingers to climb a wall and escape from the Attack Titan and Mikasa None.
The Female Titan's scream can draw nearby Titans towards her. This is especially useful when surrounded by enemies. However, once activated, normal Titans will naturally want to eat the Female Titan as well.
As a Female Titan, in the year 845 (during the Shiganshina Fall Arc ) she is responsible for gathering a horde of Titans in the Shiganshina district, which resulted in the deaths of many civilians. It was reported that over 10,000 people died during this calamity.
