Mikasa Ackerman - a formidable weapon against the Titans

The character of Mikasa Ackerman (Mikasa Ackerman) is one of the key characters of the post-apocalyptic manga "Attack of the Titans". Unbending and cruel. He tries not to show his feelings to others. Besides her, there are other characters in the anime. Mikasa Ackerman, Armin Arlert and Eren Yeager are the main characters of the manga. But in this article we will briefly talk only about Mikasa. So, let's get started.

Childhood

Mikasa Akkerman lived with her parents in the mountains. The girls were regularly persecuted for their father. And her mother could not be in the city because of her Asian appearance (the girls of this race were abducted and enslaved). Actually, that's why the Ackerman family lived far from the city. Their only guest was Grisha Yeager (father Ehren).

One day, gangsters climbed into the house of the Ackerman family and killed Mikasa's parents. The very same girl they kidnapped. Soon, Mikasa tries to save Ehren. He managed to kill two criminals and untie the girl. But at that moment the third villain came and seized him. Ehren began to ask for help from Mikasa, urging her to fight in order to survive. The girl felt a surge of strength, grabbed a knife and killed the bandit with a blow to the heart. After that, Ehren took her to his house.

New family

Chilled and depressed, Mikasa Ackerman asked Grisha about her future destiny. Ehren's father invited her to stay with them. Thus, he adopted the girl. To reassure Mikasa, Ehren gave her his own scarf (in the future, she always carried it with her). Ackerman lived with the Yeagers and helped them with the housework. But as soon as the girl found happiness, her foster mother was killed by the Smiling Giant. Soon, Grisha also perishes. Ehren and Mikasa become orphans. For a while they live outside the walls of Rosa under the supervision of Armin. Then all three go to the Cadet School.

Personality

The formation of the character of the girl was greatly influenced by Ehren, with whom Mikasa Ackerman dealt with the bandits guilty of the death of her parents. She is very fond of her own friends. Most of all, the girl takes care of Armin and Erena. They consider them members of their own family and are very afraid of losing. Ehren convinced Mikasa that the world is full of cruelty and constant struggle is needed to survive. This motivated the girl to regular training, which made her the best soldier. Ackerman has an increased sense of justice. She always defends Ehren and tries to direct the young man to the right path, in her opinion. On the other hand, the girl does not always manage to influence the brother's decision. So in some cases, she just blindly follows him.

Skills

To protect his foster brother Mikasa, Ackerman learned to fight at a very early age. She is very strong and raises Ehren without any effort. During the training, Keats praised the exemplary performance of Mikasa in each discipline and considered the girl a real genius. With high motivation and stunning skills, it is a formidable weapon against all the titans.
