Yelena (Anime)

Yelena (イェレナ) is a woman posing as a Marleyan soldier in Liberio.

Appearance
Yelena is a very tall woman with blonde hair and straight bangs. She has large grey eyes and somewhat androgynous features due to her build and style. She also sports a chinstrap beard, which is later revealed to be fake. She is seen wearing the standard Marleyan uniform.

Marley arc
Yelena disguises herself as a Marleyan soldier from the Lakua military base in the west and arrives at the Warriors' seating area during Willy Tybur's production. Claiming that Magath called for them, she asks that Pieck, Galliard, and Zeke follow her. Soon after, she sends Zeke off in another direction while continuing to lead the other Warriors. They stop temporarily when Pieck suddenly hugs one of the Panzer Unit soldiers that they meet on the way. She leads them into a room, where she traps the two in a hole.

At the end of the Raid on Liberio, she joins the Scouts on their airship. Standing in a room along with Zeke, Eren Jaeger, Armin Arlelt, Levi, and Mikasa Ackermann, she takes her fake goatee off when Levi asks her to, joking that people seemed to like it. They are soon joined by Jean Kirschtein, who brings two captives with him. Jean yells at her for not carrying out her duty of locking up the Jaw and Cart Titan, causing more soldiers than necessary to die, for which she accepts responsibility.

Trivia

 * Yelena is the Anglicized form of "Jelena" which is, in turn, a Slavic derivation of a Greek name "Helénē" (Ἑλένη).
