Ymir Fritz, also known as the Founder, is the overarching protagonist of the Attack on Titan franchise.
She was the first human to be able to transform into a Titan, as the one who gained the original Power of the Titans roughly around 2,000 years prior the story, after coming into contact with an anomaly. She was also a slave of Eldia and a concubine to King Fritz, who used her as a weapon to build the Eldian Empire, defeat his enemies, and begin a global conquest. After her death, her spirit was split into the Nine Titans.
As a result, she is an ancestor to Karl Fritz, Rod Reiss, Dina Fritz, Zeke Yeager, Historia Reiss, and all Subjects of Ymir in the world. Being the spirit who produces every single Titan transformation in the story, she is responsible for all the events of the series, along with her family.
She is voiced Chiyuki Miaru in Japanese and Apphia Yu in English.
Biography[]
TBA
Personality[]
Ymir's true character has been susceptible to many different interpretations because she is a legendary figure from ancient history and mythology. Ymir was characterized by the tale books from the Walls as a compassionate girl named "Christa", who was constantly considering others. The nation of Eldia used to hold Ymir in the highest regard and extol her achievements for their people, mistakenly viewing her as a goddess and Queen of Eldia. The Marleyan propaganda, on the other hand, claims that Ymir was a tool of the Devil with whom she had struck a bargain. Eldian propaganda treats Ymir as if she had been perfect and flawless, while Marleyan propaganda treats her as a purely vile and power-hungry figure.
In truth, she had no free agency and was a slave. She lived in accordance with the Eldian king's wishes, helping him establish his empire, ruthlessly eliminating his rivals, and having offspring for him. Ymir even went so far as to give up her life in order to save his. For over 1,990 years in the uncharted Paths surrounding the Coordinate, her soul continued to be hopelessly obedient to the Eldian royal line.
Eren claims that Ymir loved Fritz despite his mistreatment of her and his accountability for ruining her hometown, which resulted in the passing of her parents, despite his inability to truly comprehend her. As she waited for someone to save her from the pain of love, she was also eager to carry out his wishes for generations.
Trivia[]
- It is unknown if Ymir and her native people were of the same ethnicity as the people of Eldian tribe, the people of Marley, or another group of humans entirely.
- It was never said if Ymir's village, before falling to the Eldians, used to be part of Marley, part of another nation, or part of independent lands. Being inspired by the Roman Empire, which ruled much of Europe, it is most likely that the original Marleyan Empire was multi-ethnic and ruled much of the main continent featured in the story, with Marley's founders being based on the Latins. It is possible that Ymir was part of any culture belonging to Marleyan domains.
- Although Ymir was praised by Eldia as their "progenitor" and goddess, Ymir was never of Eldian nationality. The label "Eldians" in the "modern" days post-Great Titan War is merely used by humanity outside the Walls to refer to all the Subjects of Ymir, regardless of their ancestry. Because of their blood type and link to Ymir's soul and her parasitic anomaly, all of Ymir's descendants are connected to the Paths and can be exposed and labeled as "Eldians" by the rest of humanity, who refuse to claim them as members of any other country but the fallen Eldia.
