VERSE/TIME (either/or. purposefully kept ambiguous): DAUGHTERS OF THE DEVIL

      Maria is one of three sisters, all daughters of Queen Ymir Fritz. She is the youngest, the least confident, the one who always had mud on her skirts, but the most willing to do her duty to her mother and her people, the most courageous of her sisters, the one willing to wrap her body around a bomb a la Steve Rogers to keep it from hurting other people. However, she always felt uncomfortable going on the offensive against their enemies, and so serves as an advisor to her more aggressive family instead. Her pacifist attitude is why the first King of the Walls named the outermost wall after her, but a key difference between her and her family’s descendant is that she would die to protect the civilians, but he would not stop the wolves from entering.

so. ymir’s the mother. and in lit, there are no coincidences. so. who are the ymir that we know of’s daughters? and which walls do they correspond with?

Historia - Sina. i mean.... obvs

Sasha - Rose...

i guess... Mikasa? ymir hasn’t had any interaction with other girls on the mango pages. that i remember. plus she’s, yanno, from maria

plus annie’s outside of the walls.

how many personality tests make up a personality? how many times do i reinvent the image in the mirror until it resembles a person? 

[leapingtitan]

No one is mentioning the confirmation that Maria, Rose and Sina were the names of Ymir Fritz’s daughters.

sorry for kicking you,

      It wasn’t as if the titans who made up her Wall had felt pain or anguish or anything of the sort when the Colossal Titan had opened a hole in one of her gates. No, what they first felt was a minor disturbance, a reverberation. In short, they had started to wake up a little.

      What happened afterwards, well, was another story.

      “I’m not the people you should be saying sorry to,” Mara replied archly, but then she reached up and ruffled the boy’s hair. He wasn’t mostly to blame. Nevertheless, she had to resist the urge to beat him to a bloody pulp - and anyways, that was impossible. He was a ghost, and thus invulnerable. “Just shut up the next time you go on a god-complex rant near me, alright?”

   verses:

v: you could tell from the start that the best were frailing.

Main verse, follows snk canon.  t: as if hours of wind and sun were needed to clear the blood scent from Cain’s offering: The individuals who would become the Wall Titans were sealed and, for some time after, they thought as many, but slowly their consciousnesses meshed together, voices merging in sorrow and grief as they began to realize their fate. Slowly, their collective consciousness becomes Maria, who -  t: I detect traitors and sleep dangerously: - is then nonexistent/sleeping or is the collective voice of the Wall Maria titans - t: Is the soil in which the dead lie so dry it needs this?: - until Wall Maria is breached, upon which the Titans inside start having more active brain activity and She “forms”. She can interact with ghosts (she is a ghost, no?). She has lost her purpose, some of herself, so she loses the “i” in Maria and thus goes by the name of Mara. Maria and Mara both mean “bitter” in Hebrew. t: tell he how do you look at the flames of ruin and not call it hunger?: She wanders around between her Wall and Rose, then ventures inside the realm of Rose and Sina, doing whatever she wants honestly.

v: Beautiful. Terrible.

Maria was a Reiss queen sometime during the millenium of Reiss rule before they retreated behind the Walls. When she died, they deified her, and she became a goddess. This verse encompasses that time from birth to goddess-hood and beyond.

v: for some reason forgetting has become gospel

Ever since the Wall Cult was founded, she has existed.

v: when the wish died out

All the Walls have fallen. The humans behind the Walls are mostly dead.

v: memory can be murder

She was a titan unwillingly holding up Wall Maria, and when the Wall was breached, it was her area of the Wall that was breached, and now she is free. Her memory is fragmented. A girl, a woman, a crone, a titan.

v: I am ready to be every animal you leave behind.

She was a titan willingly holding up Wall Maria. Similar to the above verse.

v: the entrails of night and parchment of day

There are libraries in the bowels, the bodies of the Walls. Secret libraries, with traps inside them, and Mara is the librarian of Wall Maria, and has been since the day the library inside her Wall was founded, and will be, even after Maria’s destruction.

v: libri sybillini

Inside each wall sits a sybil, whose Wall was named after her.

v: I am telling you the oldest story there is

She, like her Sisters, is a storehouse of memory.

v: how anything fragile survives

in which Mara is/has become a shapeshifter, able to turn into animals and take on any human appearance at will.

v: I’m not the hollow shell. I’m the bullet now.

Vengeful Mara. Out to get the people who gave the order to kill her people.

v: wrong epic

A ghost, a victim of the 845 breach. She can interact with humans. She seems to know more than what she did before she died. Slowly, slowly, she is becoming the lost goddess. Her name used to be Maria, but slowly, slowly, she is becoming Mara.

v: who? who says? who says the dead are farther away from me than you are?

Mara is a refugee from Wall Maria, aged 15 by 850. Ever since the breach, she has been able to interact with ghosts, and has made a living by being a spirit medium. She travels from the hovels of Rose to the manses of Sina, releasing ghosts on the streets and holding seances with the wealthy.

v: not all worlds see the darkness

Modern verse. Mara can interact with ghosts.

age: maiden

has a child’s/teenage appearance

age: mother

has a young woman’s/middle-aged appearance

age: crone

guess
