History:
Minna grew up in the same village as Eren, Mikasa and Armin, the Shiganshina District of Wall Maria. Her father was a farmer, while her mother was a home maker and artist. Minna grew up with three brothers and was very loved by them. She grew up tough, competitive, and brave. When she turned thirteen, her eldest twin brother's Marcus and Casey became recruits, and Casey would successfully join the Survey Corps whereas Marcus would join the garrison in charge of protecting Wall Maria.
Minna's family was very closely bonded with the Arlert family as they were neighbours for most of her youth. Minna would form a close bond with a young Armin Arlert as she would often look after him as a child.
When the wall fell and Titan's swarmed her village, Minna, who had been assisting her father in the fields, was forced into hiding. In a desperate attempt to locate her mother and younger brother, Minna disobeyed her father's wishes and ran towards her home, only to find it destroyed, discovering the amputated left hand of her mother amongst the rubble, identifying it via the ring that was still attached to her bloody finger. Minna would soon find herself toe to toe to a small, 4m Titan, freezing in terror. Unable to find the will to escape, she was saved purely by the miraculous appearance of her brother Marcus, who had rushed to check upon his family as soon as he discovered the wall was breached.
Marcus defeated the Titan and during the battle, Minna was able to locate her younger brother, Yash, beneath the rubble, alive but having broken his legs. As they worked to free him, an aberrant appeared, with long arms and legs, crawling on all fours at an astounding speed. Forced to retreat, Minna carried her brother on her back, substantially slowing her down (however, the Aberrant was very fast, even if she wasn't carrying her brother, she stood no chance). Marcus was forced to battle the beast to buy them time, Minna never saw him die, but heard his screams as she ran.
Miraculously, Minna, Yash and their father survived, although Minna struggled to forgive her father for his cowardice
As a young adult, she became a recruit of the scout regiment where she would meet and befriend Petra Ral. The two would prove to be inseparable from that moment on. By her early twenties she would graduate within the top 10 of her class due to her extreme willpower, natural talent, and sharp mind.
Shortly thereafter, she would join the Survey Corps alongside Petra and Oluo and would be handpicked for Levi's squad due to her impressive stat's.
Personality:
Minna is witty and charismatic as well as strategic and methodical. Born the only girl of her parents' four children, Minna grew up strong and resilient. Despite being the clear favourite of her mother and father, she was loved unconditionally by her brothers and often babied by them - which she hated. Despite feeling well protected by her siblings, Minna strived to support and care for herself and greatly disliked being babied (even more-so when she stopped growing at 5'1).
As a youngster, Minna was often stated as being "one of the boys". She enjoyed playfighting, roughhousing, races and sparring. But she also enjoyed being alone, especially if she was reading. Despite being part of a rowdy bunch, Minna enjoyed her time alone, and took solace in the moments where she felt that she didn't need to prove herself to anyone. Despite being an adept and fast learner, she is often plagued by feelings of inferiority, always feeling the crushing weight of being better and holding herself to an impossible standard. She expects everyone to be better than they are and herself to be better than everyone else, and this mindset often causes mental and physical exhaustion. She pushes herself hard, and her competitive edge causes her ego to be pretty fragile as she can never reach the standards she sets for herself.
Within the Survey Corps, she is an outstanding soldier, but can be blinded by emotions. She struggles to make sacrifices, and will fight tooth and nail (often being compared to a cornered beast when the odds are stacked against her) While agile and strong, she is prone to make risky, last minute decisions in the heat of battle in favour of assisting others. She shows initiative and brutality in battle, but can quickly lose sight of an objective when overcome by emotion. She is an offensive soldier and is the first to make a move, often attacking with an unparalleled ferocity that's difficult to counter. However, she is prone to going fast and hard too early and can wear down quickly if against an opponent of equal or superior skill. Her willpower often makes the difference between success and failure.
Both in and outside of battle, Minna feels fiercely. She is extraordinarily loyal to those she admires and respects (to the point of blindness) and can grow co-dependent to those she considers her closest friends. She is playful and cheerful despite being a deeply insecure and troubled person, and has a very "fake it until you make it" view of herself. She is prone to melancholy and will often ignore her own needs in favour of someone else's. She tends to keep herself busy, often taking on more than her fair share, as she struggles with encompassing self doubt and mourning that she relentlessly tries to ignore. She tries her best to keep up a calm facade but can crumble when left alone.
Notable Relationships:
"Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you, I need you here to stay. I broke all my bones that day I found you, crying at the lake,"
Love interest: Levi Ackerman.
Relationship: For the majority of her time in Levi's squad, they keep a very professional relationship. Levi respects and admires Minna's abilities, but pushes her to an impossible level, always expecting more from her and pointing out combative weaknesses; his want for her endless improvement is inspired by his desire to keep her alive; though he is unaware of the mental and emotional toll his demands take on her. His attitude towards her during the first three years of their relationship could almost be considered as bullying, though it stemmed from an unrealized need to ensure she could keep up and stay by his side (although this isn't a revelation he has until much later).
On the battlefield Levi keeps a very keen eye on Minna, often being the first one to assist her. Despite the skills he has unrelentingly drilled into her, he has a tendency to doubt her abilities out of fear, often rushing to her aid at the first sign of trouble. This becomes more of a problem the closer they get, causing retention between himself and Minna, but also between himself and Erwin, who begins to feel concern over Levi's priorities, whereas Minna is often left feeling incapable and weak.
They both see one another as something unattainable, and while there is a definite burning attraction and spark between them, their time together as individuals is limited by Levi's fear of growing too close to someone (especially in a career with such a high mortality rate). Levi naively pushes Minna to be the best, unaware that his unrepentant pushing has awakened a self-destructive desperation within Minna as she fails to meet his impossibly high standards.
Despite their rocky foundations, they do share an unshakable bond (even more so with the annihilation of their squad.) As Minna allows herself to be more vulnerable, Levi is forced to come to terms with the fact that she is only human, and it awakens something within him. His desire for her becomes world shaking as he battles with his need to keep her at arms length but also his desire to pull her closer. She begins to colour his world with doubt as he finds it more and more difficult to be away from her. His fear of losing her grows substantially after the Female Titan wipes out his squad and severely injures Minna. He takes a more active role in protecting her and starts refusing to let her be in harm's way (with one excuse or another: "you're a liability, you're too injured", etc.) This phase of their relationship is the breaking point, as Minna tries in vain to understand her Captain and feels her faith in herself dwindle, and Levi is finally forced to come to terms with the reasons behind his suffocating concern.
As their relationship progresses, Levi begins to learn more about the effect his actions have on Minna and the pair show great improvement, although Levi struggles to restrain his almost overbearing nature - to which Minna responds by pushing him away, having to go behind his back in order to prove herself useful to others. He loves her fiercely, and it unintentionally causes a rift between them as Minna wishes to be her own person and find her own value. As Levi grows to understand this, Minna finds her independence and strength and the two slowly become a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. He never stops worrying about her, but in time begins to trust her abilities and her desires to remain with him.
Relationship Extras:
- Levi is very tentative when expressing his love for Minna publicly, but he will touch her in subtle ways, like resting his knee against hers, putting the toe of his boot on hers, brushing their fingers together, etc. Though it was never something Minna let herself dwell on as a new recruit, she realizes that he was showing these subtle signs almost all of the time they have known each other.
- Upon discovering the bodies of his dead squad after the failed attempt to capture the Female Titan, Levi struggled deeply with making the decision to leave a very injured Minna behind in pursuit of Eren.
- Levi is quite jealous of others when it comes to Minna, especially in regard to her close companionship with Armin. He also experienced jealousy over her strong friendship with Petra Ral.
- After the death of his squad and the close call with Minna, Levi begins restricting her participation in missions due to fear. Causing deep frustration within Minna. He often struggles between choosing to keep her close, so he can keep her safe, or positioning her in the perceived safest formation for an upcoming battle.
- Levi very rarely sees Minna in a vulnerable state and is often left blind-sided and internally panicking when they occur. He gets pretty weak at the sight of it, and will usually soften up substantially.
- On one occasion, Levi chose to let another survey Corps member die in order to assist Minna. This decision weighs heavily on him, as well as Minna.
- Once Levi begins to trust in Minna's abilities (and learns to control his desperation to keep her safe) they becomes a dangerous combination on the battle field.
"Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden? Oh, and if I could take it all back, I swear that I would pull you from the tide."
Armin Arlert: Minna and Armin met when they were young, due to their parents being close friends and neighbours. After the fall of Wall Maria, Minna, her father and her younger brother, Yash, would accompany Armin on the ferry to safety, although they would lose touch once Minna joined the Training Corps. Armin admired her deeply as a child; these feelings would only grow when they met again as adults in the Survey Corps. It's a well-established fact that he cares deeply for her, and Minna for him, although in a different capacity.
Erwin Smith: Minna deeply admires and respects Erwin. She considers him to be a great hope for humanity. She will follow his orders without question or argument. She trusts in his capabilities and decisions completely. Erwin grows to see her as more than just a soldier and considers her a friend, and as someone he has a lot of faith in.
Hanje Zoe: Hanje and Minna have a close relationship and while during her years in Levi's squad, it was purely professional, they would slowly grew closer and closer. At its peak, their relationship would be considered very strong due to Minna's sheer admiration for Hanje, and Hanje's extreme fondness for Minna.
Eren Jaeger: Eren and Minna are very alike, they both feel the crushing blow of failure and the pressure of not being good enough. She feels for Eren as she can see the contempt he holds towards Mikasa for her overbearing nature, as she can relate to some degree due to her relationship with Levi Ackerman.
Petra Ral: (Deceased): Petra and Minna were best friends. Having met when they were in training and then being chosen for Levi's elite squad, they spent the better half of five years together. The two were inseparable, and Minna loved Petra fiercely. Petra's death would be a massive blow.
Oluo Bozado: (Deceased): Minna was also in training with Oluo, and while the two always got along (Minna finding his impersonation of Levi to be very amusing) they would butt heads often. Despite their habit for frequent arguments and jokes at one another's expense, they were considered to be close friends.
Eld Jinn: (Deceased): Minna looked up to Eld and admired him deeply. He reminded her a lot of her older brother Marcus as he was always kind and supportive towards her, his method of inspiring her progress was also much gentler than Levi's and she felt like an asset to him. Losing him felt like losing her brother all over again.
Gunther Schutlz: (Deceased): Minna and Gunther got along extraordinarily well; they were very competitive and always challenging one another to fits of strength, speed and will.
Family: Udon Vader (father, alive), Catherine Vader (mother, deceased), Marcus Vader (older brother, deceased), Casey Vader (older brother, alive), Yash Vader (younger brother, alive).
Extra Information:
- Minna and her brother Casey would receive many opportunities to fight alongside one another, cementing their bond.
- Minna sustained a permanent injury during her battle with The Female Titan where she dislocated her left soldier, rending her left arm weaker (and more fragile) than her right.
- Minna's younger brother Yash would lose the use of his legs after the Wall Maria was breached. He is cared for permanently by his father, while Minna and Casey send their wages home.
- Minna enjoys drawing (a passion she inherited from her mother) but she is really, really bad at it. She keeps a journal of her drawings and they're all terrible. (Upon discovering, Levi has the sense to pretend he likes them; somewhat because he doesn't want to hurt her feelings but mostly because he likes the way she looks when she draws.
- After the death of her squad, there were whispers that Minna only survived because she fled. In reality, she fought until her gas ran out. The female Titan managed to strike her (a strike she would've been quick enough to dodge had her gear not run out of gas), the hit caused her to hit a tree and spin out until she connected with the ground. She was severely injured and winded and only survived due to Eren's transformation and frenzied attack.
