Appearance

Teenager Krista Lenz (12-15 years old) - Krista was the shortest soldier in the 104th Training Corps , a pretty girl with long blond hair and blue eyes. Her fellow soldiers described her as an angel or goddess, which led male soldiers to worship her, such as Armin. During missions, she tied her hair back in a ponytail and wore the cadets' green flowing coat.
Historia Riess as an adult (19 years old) - Historia Riess as a queen has her hair pulled back in a pleated bun with a front parting. She is seen wearing a pale-colored coat, a royal red jacket, and a long-sleeved white shirt with dark-colored boots. Historia appears to have changed her attire, likely to conform to court gatherings and the like.

Personality

At the beginning of the series, when she goes by the name "Krista Lenz," she is a kind and very shy person. Due to her isolated childhood background, she lacks the social confidence to interact with the other members of the 104th Training Corps except Ymir. She has always believed that her existence and birth were unfortunate due to her family's neglect when she was a child. Ymir states that her kindness towards others comes from wanting to be seen as a good person by others.

After Ymir is separated from Historia following the Clash of the Titans arc , leaving with Reiner and Bertolt, Historia loses hope and becomes numb to everything happening around her, ending up in Limbo. She then announces that Krista Lenz's character was a kind and caring person, but the real Historia Riess is empty inside. Eren states that she seems to be more authentic and "less scary" after the revelation, implying that she is being herself and open.

After being named queen following the coup, Historia gains confidence and develops a stronger personality by following her own will. This is seen in her ability to defy her father Rod Riess for the first time and kill him for the better.

History

Historia grew up on one of the Reiss family estates, living an isolated childhood, she was an illegitimate and unacknowledged daughter of Rod Riess. Her mother "Alma" was purposefully distant from Historia, isolating herself from her most of the time and spending time alone, which caused Historia to often question her relationship with her mother.

Following the Fall of Shiganishina Arc , Rod Riess welcomes Historia and her mother into the Riess household, where Historia would be recognized as the heir to the Reiss family. However, the Rod Military Police Brigade surrounds the family in an attempt to remove the stains on the Reiss family name. Rod tried to deny that Historia and her mother had any connection to the family, but one of the soldiers kills Historia's mother, Alma, as she desperately wants to deny that Historia is her daughter. In Alma's final moments, Historia receives a cold stare from Alma, who tells her that she wishes she had never given birth to her. Rod then intercepts the attack. The Military Police Brigade also attempts to kill Historia by making a deal that if she disappeared from the Riess household under a different identity, they would not need to kill her. The Brigade agrees, and "Krista Lenz" is born.
