Felix Aufrecht

Felix Aufrecht (フェリクス・アウフレヒト) 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
Felix is a young man with light hair neatly trimmed into a bowl cut. He wears a white button up shirt underneath the traditional uniform of the Training Corps, along with a bolo tie.

Personality
Felix is very observant and proper in his mannerisms. He is able to quickly analyze the appearance of people and see things that are not easily noticed by others. Due to this, Felix can come off as being accusing to some people. Despite his quiet and unassuming demeanor, Felix is very protective of his friends and is willing to fight anyone who physically (or verbally) attacks them. Felix has a desire to see the world beyond the walls and, like his fellow squad mates, wishes to join the Survey Corps in order to fulfill this dream.

Restoration of the Survey Corps arc
Felix, along with his friends, found an unconscious teen while on a routine training exercise. They brought him to a cabin to heal while they attended the nearby Training Corps academy. After hearing from his friend Rosa that the teen is conscious, Felix and the others return and officially meet Kuklo. He notices Kuklo's injuries and bluntly asks how he received them, receiving some backlash from Rosa. After Ivo states that Kuklo cannot be seen by others if he has got a secret, Felix brings up the fact that instructor Jorge Pikale's arrival in a few weeks will resolve the issue. When they all share with Kuklo their reasons for wanting to join the Survey Corps, Felix mentions that he wants to see the world outside the walls. When Felix hears Rosa's intentions, he bemusedly realizes that Rosa plans to use Kuklo to change her mother's mind on Rosa joining the Corps. Felix resolves, along with the others, to do their best to convince both Jorge and Carlo Pikale that they are worthy to join the Survey Corps.

Later on, Felix and his entire squad volunteer to take part in the special training regimen for joining the Survey Corps. During their first exercise, Felix notices the backpacks they must carry are loaded with heavy sandbags. While running, Felix notes it is hard for them to pace themselves due to not knowing their final destination; he then spots Rosa falling unconscious behind them due to dehydration. While Ivo goes on ahead, Felix and the others help Rosa back. In the mess hall that night, he overhears another group of trainees mocking them and laughing about how Rosa passed out. Suddenly Felix goes over and punches one of the tormentors in the face, sparking a fight between the two groups and earning them all a night in the guardhouse as punishment.

Several days pass and the recruits are informed that the training regimen is being altered, being directed to the center of the training area. Looking at the aptitude devices, Felix theorizes that they must have something to do with the device training. As several recruits try to pass the test, Felix sees Ivo manage to succeed; during his turn however, Felix panicked and got tangled in the wires while desperately trying to gain his balance. Dejected, Felix mentions that he is unfit to use the device and sits with Rosa and Kai, who also failed the test.
