Karina Braun

Karina Braun (カリナ・ブラウン) is the mother of Reiner Braun and is an Eldian resident of Liberio.

Appearance
Karina is a middle aged woman with fair, short hair. Like many Eldian women in the camp, she wears a scarf on her head when she goes outside.

Personality
Karina has a very kind behavior towards her family members, like her son and niece. Like most Eldians living in Marley, she hates the Eldians from Paradis, taking them responsible for the Eldians' outcast status in Marley.

History
Karina once met a Marleyan man and later gave birth to Reiner. Because such unions are forbidden in Marley, she raised her son alone, remaining in the internment zone. She eventually revealed his origins to her son, wishing she was born a Marleyan. She ended up convincing Reiner to become a warrior cadet, so the pair would gain Marley citizenship and Reiner could reunite with his father. When Reiner anounced her he had become a warrior, she warmly congratulated him, stating they were a step closer to Marleyan citizenship.

Marley arc
At the end of the Marley Mid-East War, Karina and her relatives welcome back Reiner and Gabi to Liberio. Later on, the whole family has dinner. They listen to Gabi's feat and Karina asks to Reiner if she could become a warrior. Hearing his affirmative answer, she expresses joy and pride at the thought of having two warriors in the family then complains about the Paradis inhabitants' existence. As Reiner discusses his time on Paradis, she quietly silences him, and encourages Gabi to stop the inhabitants of Paradis.
