Carla Yeager

Kalura Yeager (カルラ・イェーガー) was the mother of Eren Yeager, the adoptive mother of Mikasa Ackerman, and the wife of doctor Grisha Yeager. She was killed by the Smiling Titan after the fall of Wall Maria.

Appearance
She highly resembled Eren, except with brown eyes instead of sea green. She had long brown hair and when around the house or working in the yard, wore a plain white apron.

Personality
When Eren wanted to join the Survey Corps, Kalura forbade him on the grounds that it was too dangerous, showing her motherly care. She seemed to genuinely care for Eren's safety, and had been known to be protective of her family, enough to put them before herself when Eren and Mikasa were in potential danger for attempting to rescue her. However, once her children left earshot, she whispered that she didn't want them to leave her alone to die and continued crying until her death.

Fall of Shiganshina arc
Kalura is first shown forbidding Eren to join the Survey Corps when Mikasa spoke of Eren's desire to join the military. Though Eren's father Grisha remained passive and even insistent of Eren's ambition before leaving the house, Kalura continues to attempt to convince Eren otherwise, leading Eren to yell at her and deciding to run off to ignore her protests.

During the invasion of Wall Maria, when the Colossal Titan breaches the wall of the Shiganshina District after kicking at its main gate, her legs are crushed by the debris from her house. Eren and Mikasa attempt to free her but they are not strong enough. She begs them to leave because of Titans swarming the city, in which a 14-15 meter class Titan is visibly approaching their house. Soon, Hannes arrives, initially declaring that he would save the three of them from the approaching Titan, despite Kalura's protests that he should grab the children and run. Realizing that he was too afraid to confront the Titan, Hannes decides to take the children to safety instead, abandoning Kalura under the wreckage as she requested. Once the three were on the run and out of earshot, Kalura mutters that she doesn't want them to go, but covers her mouth shut with her hands so that the children cannot hear her words. The Titan plucks her from her spot and breaks her back, and then devours her, as Eren watches in horror.

Trivia

 * The scene of her death is slightly different in the anime and manga. In the manga, the Titan squeezes her until her spine snaps, making her vomit blood and twitch in its hand before it eats her, whereas in the anime, he simply breaks her spine off-screen with both hands and it simply shows the Titan biting downward, with blood spraying.


 * Eren's features bear a strong resemblance to Kalura.
