By what Reiner said to Annie to coerce her into removing Marco's gear, it is safe to assume she and her family were originally living inside the Walls and by some way escaped and have run into this Hometown and were probably shunned there upon knowning where they came from and in order for them to receive proper recognition, her father enlisted her in this "Retake the Coordinate" mission and trained her tirelessly to prepare her for said mission and should they succeed, they would finally be recognized by the Hometown people and not be considered from that "defiled race" anymore. If it's her mother that was the Titan Shifter she ate then it would make sense since her powers would facilitate their escape from the Walls but I doubt her mother was a Titan Shifter. The Titan Trio were probably presented with old decrepit or inept Titan Shifters for them to gobble. Come to think of it, this is a really solid theory. Proving their worth to the Hometown is definitely an understandable reason for Mr. Leonhart putting Annie through so much grueling training.
