Ymir Fritz

Ymir Fritz was the first person to obtain the power of the Titans. She was a slave of the Eldian king, who abused her power to bring prosperity to Eldia while devastating Marley and the rest of the world. Thirteen years after awakening her power, she died protecting the king. Her powers then split into what eventually became known as the Nine Titans.

Upon her death, Ymir was transported to the Coordinate, where she molded Titans out of the sands and obeyed the royal family whenever they sought the Founder's power. She was freed 2000 years later when she helped Eren Yeager to create a common enemy to end all conflicts.

Ymir wore a sleeveless dress with thin decorative bands around each arm. Her hair is platinum blonde, almost white. She has two beautiful grey eyes, but she avoids showing them and eye contact as much as possible.

Being a subject of ancient history, there are various interpretations of who Ymir really was. Frieda Reiss described Ymir as a kind girl who was always thinking of others. Eldians speak of Ymir with great reverence, praising her accomplishments for their people. On the other hand, the Marleyan propaganda maintains that Ymir was a pawn of the Devil, with whom she had made a deal, causing her and all her subjects to be despised by much of the world.

In reality, she was a slave with no will of her own. She submitted to the Eldian king in life, building him his empire, brutally destroying his enemies, and bearing his children as he commanded. Ymir even went so far as to sacrifice her own life for his. Even in death, her soul remained blindly obedient to the Eldian royal family, creating Titans by hand for about 2,000 years in the unknown land surrounding the Coordinate.

Despite not being able to fully understand her, Eren states that Ymir loved Fritz despite his poor treatment of her and his responsibility for destroying her hometown which led to the death of her parents. She was also willing to carry out his will for generations while waiting for someone to release her from the agony of love and yearned for that freedom.
