Shiganshina arc
After Carlo Pikale and the Survey Corps return from their expedition, Gloria and a squad of Military Police are there to greet them. After introducing herself, she requests that Carlo hand over Kuklo. Carlo, who does not know that Kuklo is the so-called "Titan's Child," questions Kuklo if he did anything before sneaking aboard their expedition that would get the Military Police attention. After denying it, he asks Gloria what would happen if that was his response. She begins to taunt him, saying that the Survey Corps are too focused on their traveling beyond the Walls to be interested in the reports from within the country, and explains that a few days ago, he was smuggled into Shiganshina and is under suspicion of serious crimes; including several murders, robbery, and kidnapping. She then reveals that the boy's name is Kuklo, and is known as the "Titan's Child." She then threatens Carlo, saying that if he is concerned about the continued existence of the Survey Corps, he would not want to add to its failures any further. After a moment, Carlo complies and hands over Kuklo.

Sometime later, Gloria visits the Training Corps in order to recruit Xavi Inocencio into the Military Police, due to his exceptional talent, grades, and his aristocratic station. Gloria waits for Xavi to arrive at the Training Corps Superintendent's Office. Once she eyes Xavi over, she asks if it's true that he wishes to join the Military Police. When Xavi says he does, Gloria congratulates him and welcomes Xavi as the newest member of the Military Police.

Visit to the Industrial City arc
Gloria heads an operation to weed out the remaining members of the Titan Cult. After the leader is caught by Xavi, Gloria compliments the latter and declares the operation complete. As they retreat, Gloria accepts Xavi's request to question the ringleader by himself. The next morning, she calls Xavi into her office to submit his report. Despite knowing (or witnessing) Xavi effortlessly beat three elder members of the Military Police, she does not discipline him; Gloria explains that she recognizes Xavi's talent and ambition, saying that he should inform her if any of the three try to attack him again. After hearing his report, Gloria mentions that Xavi must be satisfied that he avenged his father's death and gives Xavi another assignment before he leaves. She requests that Xavi go to the Industrial City to request fresh equipment and meet with Military Police Captain Jentsch Dafner as her proxy; since her uncle is in competition with Dafner for the position of Military Police Commander, Gloria and Dafner do not get along very well.

Gloria then reveals Xavi's real mission; to track down the Dissidence Movement that is lurking within the Industrial City. Despite seeing them as a hindrance, the movement was a necessary evil to keep the lower class citizens pacified; however, Gloria states that they have grown bold enough to plot a rebellion within the Industrial City and take over the means of production for weapons and equipment. She states that the uprising would be the perfect opportunity to damage Captain Dafner, ruining his chances of becoming the future commander of the Military Police. Gloria tasks Xavi to assist one of her subordinates who has been able to infiltrate the group. When Xavi agrees to do it, Gloria is pleased and mentions that he is the best man for the task.
