Mina Carolina

Mīna Carolina (ミーナ・カロライナ) was a former member of the 104th Trainees Squad.

Appearance
Mina was a young girl with light, fair skin. She had grey, almost bluish, eyes and had black hair that went past her shoulders, which was tied in loose pigtails with light blue hair ties.

On missions, she wore the standard Trainee uniform and had a white polo with a collar underneath her jacket. When off duty, Mina wore a long sleeved teal blouse and black pants. She had a slender figure and average height.

Personality
Mina was kind and gentle, but also sporty and confident.

104th Trainees Squad arc
Mina is first seen as a trainee. She is often seen within the cabins wearing casual attire and engaging in casual conversation.

In the year 848, two years before graduation, Mina accompanies the other trainees on a wilderness hunt to sustain themselves in times of peace. Along with the other trainees, Mina is pulled into an equipment heist by thieves in the forest and is left behind with the others as Eren helps rescue the kidnapped Krista Lenz. She is seen with Reiner and the others as the thieves are caught and arrested and Krista is safely returned.

Later, she is clearing out the cannons with her comrades atop Wall Rose. She is one of the trainees who accepts Sasha Blouse's meat despite it being stolen from the Elite supply, and witnesses the sudden return of the Colossal Titan.

Battle of Trost District arc
When the Colossal Titan appears outside Trost District, she can only watch in horror as the burst of steam from its body knocks the Trainees off the Wall. She is present when Eren Yeager orders them to attack the Colossal Titan. After the breach, she was assigned to the middle guard along with Eren and Armin Arlert, Mylius Zeramuski, Nac Tius, and Thomas Wagner.

They eventually are incorporated into the front guard due to the number of Titans. Eren begins talking about how killing Titans that got in Trost will improve their rank, and she joins him, indicating that she is also signing up for the Survey Corps. Thomas suggests they have a contest on who can kill the most Titans.

Finally, the whole squad advances forward towards the numerous Titans. Catching the group unaware, a Titan lunges at the roof top they were standing on. The group watches in horror as Thomas Wagner is swallowed by the Titan. Eren initially attacks the Titan that swallowed Thomas, followed by Armin first and Mina second.

After Eren's leg is bitten off suddenly by one of the Titans, she and the other two attempt to kill the Titan that injured him. However, a group of Titans arrive out of no where and one of them kills Nac Tius, catching her off-guard as another Titan grabs her 3D Maneuver Gear's wire, knocking her over to the wall. When she realizes where she is, it is already too late for her to escape; she gets grabbed by the Titan and her head is bitten off.

Armin would later report her demise to the remaining members of the 104th Trainees Squad, saying she died nobly in the line of duty.

Trivia

 * The same Titan that killed Mina can be seen again nearly killing Sasha Blouse after a failed ambush, but is slain by Mikasa Ackerman.
