Background: Born in the Shiganshina District, Armin was childhood friends with Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman. Even when he was young, the naturally curious Armin had a deep fascination with the world beyond the Walls. As a child, he found and studied an illegal book about the outside world that was owned by his grandfather. Armin was branded a heretic by other children for his unusual interest in the outside world, and was thus frequently picked on. Too timid to defend himself, Armin would often rely on Eren and Mikasa to protect him from local bullies. Everything changed when, five years ago, the Shiganshina District was attacked by the Colossal Titan , causing those from the District to evacuate to the Trost District behind Wall Rose. His parents were drafted into the mission to reclaim Shiganshina and were killed, leaving Armin an orphan. At the age of 12, Armin enlisted in the military with Eren and Mikasa and trained in the 104th Training Corps. After graduating, he joined the Survey Corps as a scout alongside his other friends and comrades. More recently, the Trost District was under attack and almost breached, and that is when it was discovered that Eren had the ability to transform into a Titan. Eren was imprisoned for some time after the events of the breach but has been released to the custody of the Survey Corps. Armin has recently come to understand the importance of his intelligent mind and how much of an asset it can be;
