Daz

{{{nihongo|Daz|ダズ|Dazu}} is a member of the 104th Trainees Squad and participated in the battle of Trost District.

Appearance
Daz has a short crop of spiky grey-colored hair and light brown eyes. He wears the normal uniform of the 104th Trainees Squad with a black shirt underneath.

Personality
Daz is constantly terrified, regardless of the situation he has an ever present fear of something bad soon to happen, and when it does happen he loses complete control and often complies with dying by sword over facing Titans again. He is not a confident soldier or physically strong as he was unable to complete the mountain training when someone as petite as Historia Reiss was.

History
When Ymir refers to a promise her and Krista had made during training, they are shown walking through snowy mountains as Krista drags Daz through the snow on a small sled as he was unable to complete the training exercise. Ymir states that they should leave him behind as he is already at deaths door and says that he couldn't properly evaluate his physical limits and shouldn't have come in the first place but he wanted the praise and admiration. Krista continues to refuse to leave him behind until Ymir takes him and offers to get him back herself while Krista goes on ahead. Before she can deny, Ymir picks her up and throws her down a hill and when she runs back to the top, they had disappeared. Later when Krista returns to the cabins, Daz is seen resting in a bed inside while doctors look him over.

Battle of Trost District arc
When Dot Pixis announces the plan to reconquer Trost District, Daz, having barely survived the Trost evacuation support operation prior, displays PTSD (Posttraumatic stress disorder) and starts screaming that he doesn't want to die. Though Marco Bott tries to quiet him, a commanding officer overhears and threatens to execute him. Daz replies that execution would be better than being eaten by a Titan. However, Dot Pixis then announces that all deserters will be pardoned—but have to live with the awareness that they abandoned their families to the Titans. Daz, for all his psychological trauma, is unable to leave his family to that fate, and returns to participate in the operation to plug the breach... And managed to survive once again.

The Female Titan arc
He briefly appears standing next to Sasha Blouse when Erwin Smith gives a speech urging the 104th Training Squad members to join the Survey Corps. As he is not present in the group of trainees who join, he presumably opted for the Garrison instead.

Abilities
He is an unexceptional member of the 104th, but skilled (or lucky) enough to have survived multiple encounters with Titans.
