Appearance

Mikasa is very fit and in good physical condition. At the beginning of the series, Mikasa has long black hair, but after joining the military in the 104th Trainee Squad, Eren suggested that she cut it, and despite Jean's protests, she cut it to about chin length. Mikasa has black eyes in the eyes in the manga, however in the anime her eyes are gray and they vary in shade depending on the lighting. Mikasa is slightly above average in height, and she has pale, white skin. Since she is in the military, Mikasa's main outfit that she is seen wearing is the Survey Corps uniform. This uniform consists of a very short brown jacket that reaches halfway down the stomach area with two pockets on the front,a white shirt underneath, a darker brown sash around the waist covering the hips, white pants, and a tall pair of boots that reach the knees. The Survey Corps emblem is on each shoulder of the jacket, the front left pocket, and across the back. The Survey Corps emblem is also on the back of the green cape that Mikasa often wears for certain missions with the Survey Corps, such as expeditions. In addition to the required attire of members of the Survey Corps, Mikasa also wears a dark red scarf around her neck. Eren gave her this scarf after he managed to save her from the people that killed her parents and were trying to sell her into slavery. After that day, the scarf has been extremely important to Mikasa due to its sentimental value, and she never goes anywhere without it.

Background

Mikasa Ackerman is one of the protagonists in the anime and manga. Her parents were killed by robbers at a very early age, and they kidnapped her. Eren found where she was being kept, and killed two of the robbers in an attempt to rescue her. When the third robber came, however, he grabbed Eren by his neck and began choking him, leaving Mikasa to kill him and save Eren. After this point, Mikasa was adopted by Kalura and Grisha Yeager since she was left orphaned, and she became the adoptive sister of Eren. She develops a strong friendship with Eren and Armin. Her current and only known love interest in both manga and anime is Eren. Mikasa graduated in the top of her class in the 104th Trainees Squad, and she went on to be in the Survey Corps rather than join the Military Police, just so she could keep an eye on Eren and make sure he stays safe. Her skill and talent has gotten Eren out of trouble on multiple occasions. Her personality means that she will not hesitate to kill anyone who threatens Eren as shown multiple times in the anime and manga. Mikasa's willingness to protect Eren has also meant that Levi sustained an injury and could not be on duty in Season 2.
