Sasha Braus | Cis Female | 17 | Junior Student
Background
Sasha’s hometown actually isn’t anywhere near the school or Sina entirely. Sasha is actually from a small town more further south then Sina which was known for farming until bigger businesses started ruining their business. She lived there with her father who was a farmhand for one of the bigger town farms. Of course, Sasha did help out there too when she could, mainly during the weekends or other non-school days and for little pay. Around the time Sasha was entering middle school business for many of the farms began to go downhill. A rival, more brand name company had set up not far away from town and was attracting more buyers and employees then the lesser known ones. This caused a substantial drop in clients and employees. When Sasha was thirteen it seemed the lack in profits was finally to much for the farm Sasha’s father worked at to stand and they soon announced that they would be selling the farm and that they were letting all their workers go. Because of no work and no pay, Sasha’s father thought it would be best for them to scrounge up the little money they already had, sell there own home, and move away. Sasha couldn’t believe her father wanted to do this but it seemed like she wouldn’t have much of a choice on this matter. Three years later Sasha lives in Sina with her father and is currently attending Maria Trost High School.
Personality
Sasha is kind and friendly girl who happens to joke around a lot. Some people think she’s kind of an annoyance sometimes because her playful disposition but Sasha just doesn’t get why people want to be so serious all the time. Despite her sometimes oblivious and simple-minded manner, Sasha does understand that there is a time to mess around and a time to actually get serious about things.
Goals for the future
Sasha hasn’t really decided on what she wants to do after high school. She knows that she really should be at least considering some options on what to do but nothings really stood out to her yet. She’s hoping that maybe she can get an idea of something she wants to do with her life before her senior year.
Headcanons and Extra Info
Sasha learned how to use a bow and arrow from one of the older boys whose family her father worked for. She’s very good at but hasn’t had much time to practice while being in Sina. But when she has the time and money to spare she goes to one of the neighboring towns to practice in the archery range they have there.
Sasha is actually a lot smarter then she looks and acts she’s just really oblivious and naive about things.
She does speak more formerly then everyone else, this is her way of hiding her country accent because she feels people may think lesser of her because of it.
Chosen Electives : Drama and Acting, Home Economics/Cooking
What clubs are they in? :Hockey Team, Drama Group Art Credit

Reiner Braun | Cis Male | 15 | Freshman Student
Background
Reiner is from a small town. The kind of town where everyone knows everything about each other. Because he grew up in this kind of close nit environment Reiner has developed a strong sense of loyalty. he town is struggling in the recession. A lot of the mom and pop stores are going out of business due to competition from the national chains. His own family’s hardware store is feeling pressure. Reiner is well known around the town for trying to be hero. He was the first to step in if there was a fight, or try to rescue a cat in a tree.
In school Reiner tries his hardest and is well liked by the teachers because of it. He has plans for his future so he tries his best in school. As a star member of the junior football league in the town, Reiner was very popular among other kids. He was know for his loyalty and had the trust of almost everyone.
Personality
Reiner comes across as stoic and scary at first when people meet him, but as people get to know him they find that Reiner is much more complex. He is very ambitious, but believes it is wrong to step over others to get where he wants to be. He can be awkward at times but becomes more relaxed as he gets more familiar with a situation. Reiner is extremely loyal to his friends and family. He would give up almost anything for them if asked.Â
Goals for the future
The reason Reiner moves away from the home he loves to go to school is because he wants to become a lawyer. His reasoning for this is that he wants to protect his home town from national chains that have moved in. He thinks becoming a lawyer, studying business law will help him achieve that goal.
Headcanons and Extra Info
Reiner his really smart, but struggles to show it. He gets test anxiety and so his grades sometimes suffer.
As Reiner makes new friends he starts to feel guilty that he is leaving his old friends behind. Also as he gets more comfortable at school he starts getting anxious that he is forgetting his home town and why he is even there to begin with. These feelings of guilt and anxiety start to affect his performance at school and social life.Â
How long have they been in the school?: FreshmanÂ
Chosen Electives: German and Woodworking
What clubs are they in?: FootballÂ

Marco Bodt | Cis Male | 16 | Sophmore Student
Background
Marco grew up the oldest of three siblings, at a young age he took on a parental role for his two younger sisters, Ida and Julie as his mother often worked multiple jobs to keep the family together. Both his mother and father were Belgian immigrants, his father leaving his mother for another woman soon after his was born. Despite this his mother always taught him to think positively and look for the best in people, unfortunately his mothers unfailing trust led to two more brief and unhappy marriages, one leading to the birth of his younger twin sisters Ida and Julie. During this time Marco’s mother continuously pressured him to do well in school, this, along with his friendly personality and budding skill in sports led him to become a fairly good student.
Things finally began to turn around for the small family when his mother married for a final time to a well off businessman who she had been working for at the time. His new stepfather completely adored both Marco and his younger sisters, treating them as if they were his own children. He was the one that originally brought up the idea of Marco attending Maria Trost High school, he also paid for the extra tutoring Marco needed to be accepted into the private establishment and aided the teen in filling out scholarship forms which finally allowed him to join the school.
Personality
Marco has always been a warmhearted and likable person, very rarely seen without a smile on his face or a friend nearby. He owes his nurturing personality to both his mother and younger siblings whom he is very close with due to their circumstances, he had even promised to call every night before leaving for Maria Trost. Unfortunately despite his uncanny ability to make others feel better he himself is rather dense when it comes to more inward emotions. He also has formed a habit of pushing aside or burying his own problems in favor of helping friends or family with theirs. He also can’t help but feel a bit nervous over others realizing his sexual identity, seeing as the only one he has told is his mother and after doing so they ended up arguing over it for weeks. She did eventually accept it, though she still can’t help but hope that it’s “just a phase”.
Goals for the future
Marco hasn’t given too much thought into his future seeing as the idea of higher education after high school had been nothing but a dream up until recently. However, he would love to go to college after graduating high school and get a job helping children in some way. He’s hopeful that at Maria Trost High school he’ll find the direction he is looking for in order to decide where he wants to take his future.
Headcanons and Extra Info
How long have they been in the school?: This is his first year at Maria Trost, despite being seventeen.
Chosen Electives: French, Drama
What clubs are they in?: The football team
Marco plays piano surprisingly well
He can speak basic words and sentences in Dutch

Levi Rivaille | 32 | Cis Male | Mathematics Teacher
Background
Born in Sina, Levi is the elder of two siblings. He had a younger sister named Isabel, and she was younger than him by three years. Levi’s family was of the middle class, and both Levi and Isabel enjoyed a quite comfortable life. Levi adored Isabel, and Isabel adored Levi as much. He loved both his parents as well, but to Levi, Isabel was the most important member of the family.
When Levi and Isabel were twelve and nine respectively, they were riding a carriage on the way home from the market in the middle of winter when their horse stepped on a patch of black ice and slipped, causing the carriage to overturn. In the accident, Levi lost both his parents and Isabel, while he himself barely escaped the incident with a broken arm and leg and a minor concussion. Having no immediate family, Levi was raised in an orphanage after. This gave birth to his rather cold personality; having lost the person he cared for the most, he was afraid to care again, lest he lose them. He was unapproachable, but to some of the younger kids in the orphanage, Levi was  notably kinder and less cold, going so far as to play with them when he wouldn’t with his peers. (He did become less colder as he grew older, but he smiled less and was less friendlier than he was before the accident.)
Levi found that maths was a source of comfort for him during the time he was coping with his loss; much like a writer finding comfort in his words, Levi found comfort in the systematic and orderly way mathematics worked. To him, it kept him occupied; kept his brain working on something else instead of constantly remembering the accident he had been involved in. Levi was bright for his age, and was very advanced in maths, winning a scholarship to major in that for university. He left the orphanage at 18, spending a few years pursuing a basic bachelor’s degree.
Levi came to work in the school simply because he needed money to pay for rent. What he didn’t expect was to actually enjoy the job; teaching was rewarding to Levi. Knowing he helped the younger generation, he felt like he was doing what he couldn’t do for Isabel: being a good elder figure.
Since then, Levi has been teaching in the school, no longer only for pay but for the experience.
Personality
Perhaps the first thing that sticks out from Levi’s personality is how unapproachable he is at first sight. Blunt, to the point, and definitely doesn’t go out of his way to be pleasant. While neither intending to be rude nor mean, he might come across as such.
He deals with his students accordingly. If your behavior in class is at least decent, he won’t snap at you as much. If your behavior in class is horrible, he will be more likely to snap at you when you fail to comprehend something.
He doesn’t give out punishments unjustly. He dislikes tardiness; homework must be completed in time, or you will be in detention with him after hours. But if you’re sick or there is important family matter, he’ll give extra time.
Levi is a caring person at heart, he just doesn’t like showing it. In love, Levi isn’t actively seeking; he gets lonely, but prefers not to settle down; at least, not yet. He’s best described as Jerk With A Heart Of Gold. He’s not completely expressionless, though. He does laugh and let loose— if you can get a couple of drinks into him. Levi doesn’t hold his liquor too well.
Last but not least, Levi is very, very neat, to the point where everyone thinks he’s got OCD. He doesn’t; he just has an ardent love for keeping things in order. He hates it when people try to tidy his stuff up for him; things have to be tidied up his way.
Goals for the future
Levi is considering to settle down, to move out of his flat, into a house and live with a significant other. He wants to be able to love and trust someone without fearing that they would leave so suddenly.
Levi doesn’t plan to stop teaching for a while; he finds that he gets his need for social interaction through teaching and working with other teachers. His closest friends are his coworkers. Levi doesn’t know about children, but he’ll cross that bridge when it comes to it.
Headcanons and Extra Info
Levi is bilingual. His mothertongue is not the common language, but a dialect form of French. Despite this, he has no accent when speaking the common language.
Levi hates the winter. It reminds him of the day he lost Isabel and his parents.
Levi is a cuddly kind of drunk. He’ll completely be all over you.
Levi adores Magnolia flowers, and has a pressed bookmark of that flower. It reminds him of Isabel.
Levi asks all his students to address him by first name instead of his last name. Why? They’re pronounced the same anyway, and he much prefers the spelling of his first name.
Levi wears a cravat to school, be it summer or winter. To Levi, it’s one of those little things that give you a small boost of confidence or just makes you feel good in general about yourself.
Levi is strict about neat handwriting. He makes it a rule for all his students to neatly show their working; not only is it easier for Levi to check their work, he believes that it’s easier for his students to revise when they look back at their notes.
Levi is a relatively new teacher; it’s only his third year.

Jean Kirschtein | Cis Male | 16 | Sophmore Student
Background
Jean spent most of his childhood alone. With his father a bank manager and his mother a cop, many of Jean’s dinners were spent in a long dining room with only the eerie clack of silverware on ceramic to keep him company. Despite this, he learned kindness from his nanny, Rita, who homeschooled him for the first seven years of his life.
When he was finally introduced into the private school system at age 8, he got a harsh lesson in bullying. He quickly learned that he needed thicker skin to survive after coming home every afternoon with a new bruise for Rita to cure.
He learns how to fend for himself. He fights with other kids often, for fun. He never gets into fights he knows he can’t win. He becomes strategic with his fights.
His parents started to pay more attention to him as a result but, not in the way he wanted. They sit down with him, have a long talk about feelings, then ship him off to a boarding school in Chicago, then London, then New York: school after school where Jean is asked politely to not come back next year.
By the time he’s fifteen his mother has had enough, his parents have divorced, and his father gives him an ultimatum: he either comes back to Sina and finishes his studies or he gets shipped off to China, never to be heard from again.
It’s not really a difficult choice. So he comes back to his birthplace, ready to shake then town by its foundations yet again, in the only way the Kirschtein men can.
Personality
Jean is a harshly honest person. His mouth’s too big, always running off without his permission. This gets him into more trouble than it’s worth. Although there’s bravado and confidence, he cares deeply what people think of him. There’s definitely an ego there as well: a belief of being meant for better things than just this. There’s an air of arrogance that comes with this. His façade quickly crumbles when there’s a big decision lying on his shoulders, though. This is ironic because he works best under pressure—whether on the hockey ice or off.
He is not a team player at all. He is skilled when it comes to sports, but his refusal to play with a team, to help others, has made it almost impossible for him to get into teams in the past. Nowadays, though, thanks to his school counselor, he’s growing in this respect, although, by his own stubbornness, he still has a lot of learning to do.
Goals for the future
Although his mother was never one to interact much with him, she left a lasting impression on him. He dreams of growing up and joining the police force of Sina City. He wants to protect and serve the people of this small town, but ultimately, he wishes to be more than his circumstances.
Headcanons
Rita, his nanny/homeschool kindergarten teacher, taught him Spanish, so he is now mostly fluent in it.
He is claustrophobic and often needs to look at the sky, look at how open it is, to calm himself down.
He is a human furnace—he’s almost never cold.

Armin Alert | Cis Male | 15 | Freshman Student
Background
Armin was born in the Shinganshina neighborhood, very close to Maria Trost. His parents were journalist, his mother writing articles while his father provided the pictures. Though he was very young his father often showed him pictures from around the world, and his mother would tell him stories of all the people she had met. When he was young Armin craved for the same adventures his parents went on, wanting to see all the oceans and deserts of the world for himself. But when he was five his parents were killed by mercenaries while covering a story in Sierra Leone he became more cautious, preferring just to read about the vast oceans and deserts than actually visiting them.
After his parents died Armin’s grandfather moved in and started to take care of him, though some could argue didn’t so much as care for Armin as watch him. He was a kind man but very rarely did much other than cook for him, and didn’t even intervene with the bullying Armin received at school. Instead Eren and Mikasa took over the role of his protectors and as such the three became close friends. Really it was good for Armin, as the two pushed him out of his comfort zone, resulting in some very… interesting stories.
While there were many private high schools Armin was eligible for, he chose Maria Trost as that was the school Eren and Mikasa were most interested in. He was accepted easily, and made honor role all of freshman year. The bullying hadn’t really stopped since he entered high school, but it now seemed there were more people sticking their neck out for him. Eren and Mikasa remain to be his closest friends however.
Outside of school activities and learning, Armin loves classic video games, Nintendo games being his favorite. In his basement he has both a super Nintendo and a Nintendo 64, as well as a classic game boy. For the game cartridge he can’t find he has versions on his computer. He has some interest in indie games as well, and strategy games, but you’ll most likely find him playing Pokemon Yellow or classic Street Fighter.
Personality
Armin is very passive, and has problems saying no to people. As such he’s involved in many clubs, and often ends up doing other people’s schoolwork. He is naturally intelligent though doesn’t flaunt it like some other students. His strength lies in math and strategy, making him the chess club’s top player.
Armin is a bit awkward, and has trouble really connecting to people. He prefers to just talk with Eren and Mikasa since they’ve been his friends the longest. He is very loyal to both of them, and can show quite amount of bravery when he feels his friends are threatened. Armin really isn’t a coward at all just not very physical, something he is acutely aware of. He also just prefers reading and playing video games over throwing a football or passing a hockey puck. He does play soccer though- having played it since he was younger with Eren, though he usually just sits out on the bench. He doesn’t mind though, he prefers watching and cheering on friends more than playing the actual game.
Goals for the Future
Though Armin has a promising carreer in almost everything; he really has no idea what he wants to do for himself. Since he met his friends he has followed their lead without question, and is starting to realize he’s never made any big decisions for himself. He still has an odd craving for the unknown, but also fears what might happen to him if he explores it. For now he focuses on his schoolwork, friends, and finding working NES cartridges.
While he doesn’t see it as a goal, he does feel some responsibility to take care of his grandfather in his old age. Some people think with his love of gaming he’d make a perfect arcade owner, but he knows he would get bored with the job quickly. While he knows it is not ambitions, Armin’s only focus now is to graduate high school and find some way to take care of his grandfather in the future.Â
Headcanons and Extra Info
His favorite Pokémon is Porygon
When he is out on the field he plays offense; though he rarely scores and usually just backs up other players.
 He prefers ancient history to current history
Math comes very easily to him and he rarely needs to study for the class
