Carla Yeager

Carla Yeager (カルラ・イェーガー) was the mother of Eren Yeager, the adoptive mother of Mikasa Ackerman, and the wife of Doctor Grisha Yeager. She was killed by a Titan after the fall of Wall Maria.

Personality
When Eren wanted to join the Scouting Legion, Carla forbade him on the grounds that it was too dangerous, showing her motherly care. She seemed to genuinely care for Eren's safety, and has been known to be protective of her family, enough to put them first before herself when Eren and Mikasa were in potential danger for attempting to rescue her.

Story
Carla is first shown forbidding Eren to join the Scouting Legion when Mikasa spoke of Eren's desire to join the military. Though Eren's father Grisha remained passive and even insistent of Eren's ambition before leaving the house, Carla continued to attempt to convince Eren otherwise, leading Eren to yell at her and deciding to run off to ignore her protests.

During the invasion of Wall Maria, Carla was crushed by stray debris when the Colossal Titan breached the wall of the Shiganshina District after kicking at its main gate. After having her legs were crushed by the debris from her house, Eren and Mikasa attempted to free her but to no avail. She begs them to leave because of Titans swarming the area, in which a 14-15 meter class Titan is visibly approaching their house. Soon, Hannes arrives initially declaring that he would saver them from the approaching Titan, despite Carla's protests as she him to grab the children and run. Realizing that he was too afraid to confront the Titan, Hannes decided to take the children to safety instead, abandoning Carla under the wreckage. Once the three were on the run and out of earshot, Carla mutters that she doesn't want to be left alone, but covers her mouth shut with her hands so that the children cannot hear her words. Shortly afterwards, she gets devoured by the Titan.

Trivia

 * The scene of her death is slightly different in the anime and manga. In the manga, the titan squeezes her until her spine snaps, making her vomit blood and twitch in its hand before it eats her, whereas in the anime, he simply breaks her spine off-screen with both hands and it simply shows the Titan biting downward, with blood spraying.


 * It is unknown if she was aware of the contents of her husband's basement and the true extent of his work.


 * Eren's features bear a strong resemblance to Carla compared to his father Grisha.
