Mikasa's mother

Mrs. Ackerman was the biological mother of Mikasa Ackerman and wife of Mr. Ackerman. She and her family lived in a forest within the Shiganshina District.

Appearance
A woman of Asian heritage appearing to be in her mid 30's. She had medium length black hair with bangs that went from just below her eyes to just below her shoulders. She had grey eyes, with a tired but calm look. The look of her clothing suggests that she was a commoner.

Personality
She appeared to be a kind and loving mother, holding value in keeping with tradition. When her and Mikasa's lives are threatened, she quickly turns into a fierce mother, trying to do whatever is necessary to protect Mikasa.

History
Later on Kenny Ackerman tells a story about how the Ackerman and Asian clan were nearly wiped out by the government. Because of this, she and her family lived in the woods within the Shiganshina District, to avoid persecution from the government.

Story
While waiting for Dr. Yeager to arrive, she had been bandaging her daughter's arm. While telling her about the symbol of their clan, she told Mikasa that one day, she will pass it down to her children. Which prompted Mikasa to ask her about where babies came from.

After hearing someone knock, her husband went to open the door assuming it was Dr. Yeager. It turned out it was not him, but a group of human traffickers who intended to sell both her and her daughter on the black market. Her husband was quickly killed by them at their door. Worried for her daughter's safety, she placed herself between the intruders and her daughter. She attempted to fight back, but was unintentionally killed by one of the men.

The intruders then kidnapped Mikasa, but were killed soon after by Eren and Mikasa herself. Mikasa was later adopted by Dr. Yeager and his wife.
