Hange Zoë (ハンジ・ゾエ Hanji Zoe?) is a Scout Regiment Section Commander.
Appearance
Hange has light brown eyes, messy hair tied in a ponytail, and wears a pair of oval-shaped glasses. However, on the battlefield, they replace them with square goggles, which are often strapped to their head to keep them from falling off. They also wear the standard Scout Regiment uniform with a yellow shirt and a green cape when on missions.
Personality
Hange is easily fascinated by the idea of obtaining knowledge, specifically the ever-evolving knowledge on Titans. Due to their obsession with them, they take things to extreme measures, which occasionally puts those around them in danger. An example of this would be embarking on missions with their assistant Moblit.
Story
One day, while Hange is focused on their Titan studies, Moblit abruptly busts in their office and informs them that the Colossal Titan is nearby. Delighted about the news, they scurry off to inspect the Titan's appearance and orders Moblit to go with them, ignoring his warnings about acting on their own without the regiment Commander's orders.
On the battlefield, after theorizing that the Titan has eaten several cadets, Hange directs Moblit to approach the Titan from the back. As they dismiss Moblit's worries about nearing the creature alone without the guidance of the Scout Regiment, they suddenly run off toward the Titan after noticing it emit steam. Hange thinks that it is retreating and attempts to make it stay by touching its foot. They are enlivened as they feel the heat. Consequently, the Titan hits them, but Hange uses their omni-directional mobility gear to climb its body. They attempt to communicate to it, hoping that it can be useful to their studies, then inches closer to its mouth. As Moblit drags them away from the Titan's mouth, they are suddenly both swallowed. In the Titan's stomach, Hange asks Moblit for a plastic bag to hopefully get a sample of its gastric juice.[2]
