Hange Zoë (Junior High Manga)

Hange Zoë (ハンジ・ゾエ) is a 3rd year Attack Junior High School student and a member of the Attack Jr. High Survey Club.

Appearance
Hange has an average body for a young person, other than being a bit taller than a general 3rd-year student. Instead of a standard uniform, Hange wears a dark red tracksuit with matching pants and a sweater, although sometimes the sweater is replaced with a dark red short sleeved shirt. She also wears the white shoes worn by all students at the school. Along with oval glasses, Hange has dark grey eyes and dark, near black, brown hair that is parted down the middle with shaggy bangs and is always tied up in a messy ponytail.

Personality
Hange is an eccentric person who puts all available energy into every project. Hange's passion for the Titans is what drives the biology club presidents actions and experiments forward with energy and devotion. On top of being passionate, Hange is very friendly and often times overwhelms any surrounding friends with sudden bursts of energy and nonsense. Hange is particularly devious and energetic around Levi, who has been a childhood friend to Hange and close club member for years.

Story
Hange is first seen returning back from an expedition with Mike and Levi, her fellow Survey Club leaders. She is surprised to see so many first year students and is excited to hear they all wish to join the Survey Club. She immediately agrees and then shows off several items she discovered on the expedition, including a jar of toenail clippings taken from Titan students; expecting them to share her excitement, Hange is surprised when all of the other students become disgusted at the sight of them. As the new students begin to sign their club forms, Hange reminds them that the club is secret and therefore won't be accepted; she points out that all the other members are parts of other clubs all over campus and recommends they do the same.

She later encounters many of the first year students on the way to participate in the 'Wall Beautification Club' and informs them she is part of the Biology Club. Hange tells them they must do a good job of performing their duties before engaging in activities for the Survey Club; otherwise, Levi will administer punishment to them. As the others question this, Hange departs and wishes them luck on their first day. Dismayed that the enrollment numbers for the Biology Club have dwindled, Hange tries to trick Eren, Mikasa and Armin in joining but is swiftly rejected by Mikasa.
