Peaure

"Do you still not understand?! Those royal government pigs have no intention of saving the people! The next time Titans attack, there won't be anything left!! Not the company!! Not our families!!"

- Peaure to Chief Roy about the Royal Government

Peaure (ピュレ) is a journalist who works for the Stohess Berg Newspapers and often associates himself with veteran journalist Roy. He wishes to change the current state of the news agency, which only spreads the monarchy's propaganda within the Walls.

Appearance
Peaure is a young man with a short crop of black hair, who is often seen wearing a cap and a pair of black, thick-rimmed glasses. His clothing consists of black pants and a black vest, with a white shirt underneath.

Personality
As a rookie reporter, Peaure has not yet become jaded like his superior Roy. He is very bold in his reporting, unafraid of asking questions of Military Police officers that would otherwise be considered "off-limits." He takes his job of reporting the truth very seriously, becoming frustrated when he is kept from printing news that would be scandalous for the government.

The only thing that surpasses Peaure's passion for reporting is his passion for the truth. When Roy is unwilling to publish news of the Military Police's corruption, Peaure argues passionately that the information should be printed, eventually convincing Roy.

The Uprising arc
Peaure is first shown alongside Roy, investigating the aftermath of the battle between the Survey Corps and the Military Police First Interior Squad. He notes that the Interior MP is a separate branch from the regular Military Police. However, he is quickly interrupted by Roy, as the news agency is not allowed to report anything on the Interior MP or the anti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment, on the request of Nile Dok. Peaure is later seen inside the Berg Newspapers office, reviewing the report on the battle. After reading the false propaganda for the Military Police, he inquires as to why Roy became a journalist. As Roy explains himself, Peaure suddenly notices Hange Zoë, who was overhearing the conversation between the two. While Hange talks to Roy, Peaure quickly starts writing in notes, but is immediately stopped by Moblit Berner, who twists his hand.

After Flegel Reeves is saved by Hange and Moblit, Peaure and Roy are shown hiding behind cover, each with a notebook in their hands. Peaure encourages Roy to write about the truth and expose the First Interior Squad, but he refuses in fear of everyone's lives being endangered. In response, Peaure violently shakes his former mentor, telling him that the monarchy does not care about the people living inside the Walls and that if the Titans get in, they will let him and his family perish. This is enough to convince Roy to go forward with delivering the truth to the public.

Return to Shiganshina arc
After the reclaim of Wall Maria, Peaure and Roy meet Hange and Levi and talk about the information that has just been revealed to the public. Peaure comments on the 145th King's deeds and Marley's plans to dominate the island. He then wonders about the credibility of the news they disclosed.

War for Paradis arc
When word is leaked to the public that Eren Yeager has been arrested for attacking Marley, Peaure is among the mob of people who harass Hange for answers outside of the military's headquarters. Peaure asks for Hange to clarify whether the rumors that the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers and Eren have been arrested, and that Marley is now focusing all of its efforts to counterattack Paradis. When Hange refuses to answer, Peaure physically blocks their way and insists that Eren's current status is a matter that must be known, as it affects all of the citizens of Paradis, but Hange simply shoves him out of the way.
