I don't even know why they would call it Female Titan and not something else if that wasn't the case. Some might say that it could be because maybe it was inherited by only women so far, but I can't see a reason why that would be. One very simple possibility is that the nine titans are anthropomorphized fragments of the characteristics that made up the Original Titan (aka Ymir Fritz). Each titan essentially represents a single aspect of her original form. An example of this being the Attack Titan (descriibed as constantly moving forward and fighting for some sense of "freedom") is Ymir's drive, her desire to fight for herself and her people. The Beast Titan could be seen as her primal animal nature; the Armored Titan could be seen as her sense of defense (the metaphorical walls she built up to protect herself), while the Warhammer Titan may be her sense of offense. The Female Titan might be her femininity or perhaps her vanity or something. The Founding Titan can be seen as, simply, the husk that remained when all the others split off (it kind of represents her royalty, her divine right as a sovereign, especially considering that only royals can make proper use of it). I feel like i've said all this before, though. Forgive me if I've gone and repeated myself.

And before anyone brings it up: yes, i understand that the Cart Titan, the Jaw Titan, and the Colossal Titan are all exceedingly ambiguous when making this argument. I'm not really sure how to classify these last ones as i don't know much about Ymir Fritz's personality; and i have a suspicion that these represent more intimate aspects of herself than some of the others. Of course, i haven't spent much time on this theory, so if anyone thinks they can better flesh it out, great! (I'm actually really curious about the connections/representations you guys can think up!) If you think it's garbage, and that i'm a total idiot for sharing such flimsy conjecture, go ahead and challenge me (of course if you choose to do the latter, you damn well better back up your position. I will not tolerate unconstructive criticism on this thread).
