Ivo Hummel

Ivo Hummel (イーヴォ・フンメル) is a recruit of the Survey Corps. He appears in the light novel Attack on Titan: Before the Fall 3 and the manga series Attack on TItan: Before the Fall.

Appearance
Ivo is a young man with a somewhat stocky build, freckles and light hair. He wears a white button up shirt underneath the traditional uniform of the Training Corps.

Personality
Admitting to be nervous about fighting Titans, Ivo still shows an interest in joining the Survey Corps like his friends. He is also not afraid to get involved when his friends are made fun of or if their lives are on the line.

Restoration of the Survey Corps arc
During a training session, Ivo and his friends come across an unconscious teen who washed up along the banks of a river. They take him to a nearby empty cottage for him to heal; due to being trainees at the nearby academy, they are only able to visit at night and do their best to help the teen recover. Roughly a week after they find him, Ivo is informed by his friend Rosa that the teen is awake, and they return that night. After hearing his name and that he is possibly working on a secret anti-Titan project, Ivo theorizes that to keep him from being discovered, they must keep Kuklo at the cottage until further notice. His friend Felix informs Ivo that Jorge Pikale will be visiting the school in a few weeks, and he would know what to do; surprised, Ivo claims that Jorge is working in Shiganshina as an instructor. When Kai expresses his desire to join the Survey Corps to fight Titans, Ivo admits that he is nervous to fight them but admits he wants to join as well. When Rosa asks Kuklo to put in a good word for them, Ivo pries and asks if Rosa's mother is still against her joining. After hearing Kuklo warn them about the dangers of fighting Titans outside the walls (and that he saw countless soldiers eaten in front of him), Ivo and the other recruits agree to take the training seriously to convince Jorge and Carlo Pikale, the current head of the Corps, that they are worthy.

Over the course of the next two weeks, Ivo and his friends return to check in on Kuklo. Eventually, him, Kai and Rosa find two members of the Military Police approaching the cabin; when accused of harboring fugitives inside, Ivo tries to attack but quickly finds a rifle pointed at his head. Only the timely arrival of Hugo, Felix and Jorge Pikale do the two MP's believe the story and leave. As Kuklo jumps out of a tree and uses his device, Ivo and the others are awestruck to see it being used. Ivo wonders if there is a way for them to learn. Soon, Ivo is seen assembled with his friends and other recruits in front of Survey Corps captain Carlo Pikale, who announces a voluntary special curriculum to train recruits with the device; Ivo volunteers along with his friends. During their first logistics exercise, Rosa passes out due to dehydration; Ivo runs on ahead to notify Cardina while the others help Rosa back. That night, Ivo hears another group of recruits in the mess hall badmouth Rosa and the curriculum and takes part in the resulting fight.
