Mikasa Ackerman

Based on Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan character, Mikasa Ackerman.

"Eren, thank you for teaching me.. how to live."

The beautiful Mikasa Ackerman.

Aside from the Ackerman bloodline bond that we know in the manga, that makes one a shield to an Eldian, I wrote a character analysis about Mikasa but I'm referring only to true emotions that she has towards Eren.

In a world that changes so fast where morality is slowly fading, being replaced by cruelty and madness, to understand that you are even alive and find your own self, unfortunately you have to go through pain. There are moments in life when an emotion is strongly overflowing inside us, that sometimes it defines our own existence. Be it fear, sadness or anger, that emotion in an intense situation can completely change us and when that happens, we are never the same again.

This is the kind of experience Mikasa had in a very young age. Mikasa was a victim of human trafficking at the age of 9, her parents were murdered right in front of her and she was kidnapped.
As she was tied down unable to do anything without any will left, miraculously hope appeared, when Eren Yeager aimed to save her without second thought. Eren took out two of the three traffickers, but Mikasa barely noticed Eren's presence as she was shattered and lost by the traumatic experience she just been through.
When Eren freed her, the third man appeared, he caught Eren and was about to choke him to death.
With every strength he had, Eren called Mikasa to stand and fight but Mikasa was shaking in fear, experiencing once again a brutal moment as hope once again was about to become loss until Eren called her again to fight. Hearing his words, something awoke inside Mikasa and what awoke was Courage. A moment that defined her existence, understanding that her life matters and she must fight for, a moment when she understood that in this cruel world, you have to stand strong in order to survive. She had complete self control and she was able to take the man out.

After everything ended, Mikasa was taken care of by Eren's father, Grisha Yeager.
" Dr. Yeager. Where do I go from here? I'm cold.. I don't.. have a home anymore."

After a traumatic experience like this, how could someone feel? Losing a whole world with everything that felt so warm and familiar. Now standing all alone, numb, in a world so cruel and cold, knowing that those familiar voices will never be heard again, that those familiar faces will never be seen again, knowing that you can never go back.
When it hurts to remember, when mind and body breaks, how can someone continue? How does someone start again?

After hearing those words, Eren approached her and wrapped his scarf around her to make her feel warm. With that heartwarming move, Mikasa's conscience started slowly to wake.
It was the first thing that Mikasa felt in a new world that she started living in and that was Tenderness. Eren was the first person she saw in this new world.
"Let's go home. To our home." these were the words that gave meaning to Mikasa's life.
The first words that she heard in this new world that brought sentimental tears in her eyes, she started feeling safe and warm once again.
Eren gave her a reason to breathe. Having him by her side, Mikasa slowly healed in time and the emotions she felt for Eren started to overflow inside her, emotions that she wants them to keep forever.
That warm feeling of safety that only "Home" can give, in her heart "Home" now is Eren, his voice is the only voice her heart can recognize and she honors him with everything.

"In this world.. I've got a place to go home to.
Eren.. as long as you're around, I can do anything."
