Hitch Dreyse

Hitch Dreyse (ヒッチ・ドリス) is a private (二等兵) of the Military Police Brigade stationed in Stohess District. She is a graduate of the 104th Training Corps, though she is not from the same division Eren Yeager belonged to.

Appearance
Hitch has a somewhat catty appearance, with large amber eyes and chin length shaggy, wavy light brown hair. She wears the standard Military Police Brigade uniform like her fellow officers, except she wears a light green shirt underneath.

Personality
Hitch acts immature in certain ways, and seems to enjoy teasing and needling her fellow officers. She claims she chose to join the Military Police out of laziness, as it is well known that the senior staff are incredibly corrupt and she wanted to benefit from the system herself; however, she did not take into account that, as a new recruit, her superiors would dump all their work on her. When Marlowe claims to have joined the Military Police for noble reasons, Hitch breaks out into laughter and it is implied that she only got in through dishonorable merits. She does, however, state that she never would have chosen the Military Police if she had known that she would get stuck with all the work, implying that she did in fact earn her way in and that Boris was merely insulting her. Though she may act a bit air-headed at times, Hitch has a keen ear and was able to Scout out Armin Arlert when he was gathering water, pointing her rifle at him with no hesitation. When she was later caught by the Survey Corps, she boldly bad-mouths Captain Levi and was able to wound Jean Kirstein when he threatened Marlowe, showing a degree of strength. When she managed to escape the capture by the Survey Corps, she came back to try and bail out Marlowe, implying that she cares for her comrades enough to return to danger.

After four years, Hitch has seemed to mellow out and take her job a little more seriously; despite this, she does occasionally still complain about having to do certain tasks.

The Female Titan arc
Hitch is a member of the same Military Police unit as Annie Leonhart, and teases her for sleeping late. Boris Feulner is upset with Hitch's conduct and tells her to leave Annie alone, pointing out that she is the only one in their unit to have actually fought Titans in Trost District and goes on to suggest that she is jealous of Annie because she got into the Military Police with merit, implying that Hitch only got in through dishonorable means. However, their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of their superior, who assigns them to protect the Survey Corps escorts carrying Eren Yeager through Stohess District that day.

Hitch is later seen in the courtyard with her fellow soldiers, complaining about the harsh amount of work loaded onto the new recruits. When Marlowe Freudenberg begins to lecture the group and claims to be the one who will fix up the MPs, Hitch breaks down in laughter at his ideas. The group is later seen patrolling the streets, on their way to their stations for their work that day.

In the aftermath of the fight between Annie and Eren in their Titan forms, Hitch complains about Annie skipping out on her duties, as she is completely unaware that Annie was the Female Titan and therefore had been detained.

The Uprising arc
Accompanying Marlowe in an attempt to capture wanted Survey Corps members, both are seen strolling deep into a forest. Hitch expresses her opinions on the recent events that happened in the Stohess District, and questions where Annie is, telling Marlowe that she was her roommate when Annie served in the Military Police. Their conversation is interrupted when Hitch hears water and tells Marlowe to get his gun ready. The two then see Armin Arlert gathering a supply of water from a nearby river.

Hitch and Marlowe both order Armin to put his hands up into the air, only to fall into his trap. Mikasa and Levi quickly jump behind the two, take their guns away and rid them of their other weapons and uniforms. Levi then questions Hitch and Marlowe about their current positions in the Military Police as they sit on the ground with their wrists tied.

Hitch, angry at the Survey Corps, blames Levi and the entire Military branch for the aftermath of Stohess and for Annie's death. Levi tells her that Annie herself was the Female Titan and that she was captured and is still alive. Surprised, Marlowe tells Levi that he would like to help the Survey Corps, but Levi does not buy it and orders Sasha Blouse to escort them somewhere else before releasing them. Jean Kirstein interferes and offers to take them instead, taking them to a planned area.

Arriving at the spot where Jean was to release them, he admits that he intends to kill the two of them with a knife because they are dangerous. As Marlowe panics and explains that Levi did not want them to be killed, Jean says that this is his personal decision and the others know nothing. Jean then tries to stab them but trips and loses the knife. Marlowe grabs it while Hitch runs and Jean struggles with Marlowe on the knife when he gets back up on his feet. When Marlowe gets a hold of the knife, Jean pushes him up against a tree and holds the barrel of a gun up to his throat, asking if he wanted to test if his knife was faster than his gun. Marlowe begs Jean to reconsider, saying he is on the Survey Corps' side. Jean then asks him to put his life in his hands and give him the knife, and Marlowe quickly smiles and complies.

Suddenly, Hitch grabs a nearby stick and smashes it against the side of Jean's head. Hitch attempts to hit him again, but Marlowe stops her, saying that Jean was only testing him, and he never wanted to kill them as Jean lay on the ground with a small stick in his hand that he had been pretending was a gun. Marlowe questions Jean about why he trusted him so much and Jean tells him that he reminds him of someone he hated, referencing Eren. Marlowe reaches his hand out to help Jean up, and Jean confirms that Marlowe and Hitch can be trusted and their strength could be of use, saying that Levi will certainly accept their help after hearing what just happened.

Hitch and Marlowe lead Squad Levi to the Interior Brigade Compound, so that the squad can attack it.

Marlowe and Hitch accompany Hange to bring Squad Levi the news that the military has successfully overthrown the government, and that commander-in-chief Darius Zackly is now in charge. The two groups then travel to the Reiss family chapel. Marlowe and Hitch keep watch outside of the chapel while Hange and Levi's squad infiltrate it to rescue Eren Yeager and Historia Reiss.

After Eren and Historia are successfully rescued, Marlowe and Hitch travel with the group in pursuit of Rod Reiss, who has transformed himself into a Pure Titan.

After the coup, Marlowe decides to join the Survey Corps to help them retake Shiganshina District. Hitch, fearing for his safety, tries to talk him out of it, arguing that he can live comfortably with the honors he will be given for aiding in the coup, but is told off by Marlowe.

Return to Shiganshina arc
During his final moments, Marlowe thinks of Hitch, theorizing that she is probably still sleeping.

As Armin Arlert explains his plan for victory against the Colossus Titan to Eren, the now awake Hitch sits on the edge of her bed and stares out her dormitory window, worrying about Marlowe and wondering if the operation to retake Wall Maria and humanity's land will be successful.

After the Survey Corps returns successful, Hitch attends a ceremony to watch as the surviving soldiers are honored for their accomplishments. However, she is left visually distressed after hearing about Marlowe's final moments from Floch Forster.

Unnamed final arc
While on duty watching Annie's crystal, Hitch catches Armin Arlert attempting to touch her, joking that Annie is too popular for a girl who has been asleep for years. The two exit Annie's holding area, discussing the public's growing distrust of the military due to the leaked information.

They arrive at the military's headquarters to find it picketed by an angry mob demanding Eren's release. Hitch is asked to help secure the gate to the building against the mob, and Armin leaves to meet with Commander-in-Chief Zackly.

Shortly afterward, an explosion goes off in Zackly's office, sending his dismembered corpse flying out into full view of the soldiers and protesters. Mikasa and Armin arrive back at the gate, and Hitch demands to know what happened but before they can explain the mob begins chanting "devote your hearts," to the soldiers' horror.

Abilities
Hitch's actual abilities are unknown, as she has never participated in combat. Boris Feulner suggests she lacks the abilities necessary to have been placed in the Military Police through honest means. Hitch does not show much fear as she was able to stand up to Captain Levi for the incident in Stohess, and she later caused a bleeding wound on Jean's head with a branch when he threatened Marlowe.

Relationships

 * Marlowe Freudenberg - One of her fellow Military Police recruits, Hitch found Marlowe's reasons for joining hilarious and would chastise him often for his morality. Despite this, she did exhibit some care for him, as when she tried defending him after being captured by the Survey Corps and later trying to persuade him from joining the Survey Corps on the mission to retake Shiganshina. After hearing how Marlowe died during the mission, Hitch was visibly distressed.
 * Annie Leonhart - Hitch found Annie to be annoying at times due to her quiet nature and general outlook on life. She was surprised to hear that Annie was the Female Titan and responsible for the destruction in Wall Sheena. Hitch would later be assigned to guard Annie after the latter formed a crystal around herself and going into stasis; Hitch would later mention to Armin that she would often be the only one to routinely visit Annie, implying that she still has some level of affection towards her.
