Quote1 For one family to be blessed with two warriors is amazing. We're all proud that Marley has recognized the both of you. All that's left...is to wipe out the damned devils that live on that island...and then all Eldians will be able to live good lives. Quote2
— Karina Braun recites her goodwill towards her nation.[2]

Karina Braun (カリナ・ブラウン Karina Buraun?) is the mother of Reiner Braun and is an Eldian resident of Liberio.

Appearance

Karina is a middle-aged woman with fair, short hair. Like many Eldian women in the camp, she wears a scarf on her head when she goes outside.

Personality

Karina has a very kind behavior towards her family members, like her son and niece. She takes pride in their achievements and always supports them, this is seen when she congratulated Reiner on becoming a Warrior and Gabi after hearing what she did during the Marley Mid-East War.

Like most Eldians living in Marley, she bore a grudge against the Eldians from Paradis Island, deeming them responsible for the Eldians' outcast status in Marley.

She also appears to be faithful when it comes to romance, as she had no other known lover after Reiner's father and wished to reunite with him years after their affair. However, the latter implied that it could be a personal revenge after he rejected her and their son because of their heritage.[3]

History

She ended up convincing Reiner to become a Warrior candidate, so the pair would gain Marley citizenship and Reiner could reunite with his father. When Reiner announced her he had become a Warrior candidate, she warmly congratulated him, stating they were a step closer to Marleyan citizenship.[4]

The day of the Warriors' departure to Paradis Island, Karina was in the crowd cheering them, crying. Before he sailed, she expressed her faith in her son and her certainty his father wished him success as well.[5]

At the end of the Marley Mid-East War, Karina and her relatives welcome back Reiner and Gabi to Liberio. Later on, the whole family has dinner.

Hearing his affirmative answer, she expresses joy and pride at the thought of having two Warriors in the family then complains about the Paradis Island inhabitants' existence. As Reiner discusses his time on Paradis Island, she listens before interrupting him and encourages Gabi to stop the inhabitants of Paradis Island.[6]

A month later, Karina attends Willy Tybur's stage festival at Liberio, and there she meets Mr. Leonhart whom she had not seen since her son returned from Paradis Island. Mr. Leonhart says he did not want to waste the honor he has been given, and asks about Mr. Hoover. Karina replies that Mr. Hoover had peacefully passed away and that he always spoke of how proud he was that his son Bertolt devoted his all to Marley. Mr. Leonhart interrupts Karina when she mentions his daughter, assuring her that Annie is alive, since she had promised to come back.[7]

Later on, she is seen in the crowd listening to the revelations about the true history of Marley.[8] After Willy declares war on Paradis island, the Attack Titan comes fourth, killing Willy and sending debris into the audience.[9] She is then seen trying to escape the carnage with Mr. Leonhart.[10]

War for Paradis arc

After hearing Eren Yeager's declaration to destroy the world, Karina gathers at the gate of the internment zone alongside the other Eldians. However, the crowd is met with hostilities from the Public Security Authorities who accuse them of taking part in a conspiracy to escape.[11]

Relationships

  • Reiner Braun - Karina deeply loves her son and has faith in him. His personal achievements, such as having become a Warrior, makes her proud. However, ever since his return from Paradis Island, she has been concerned about his drastic change in personality.[12] Moreover, Karina does not show any concern about the shortened lifespan caused by the Armored Titan and even expects Gabi to inherit it.
  • Gabi Braun - Karina is Gabi's aunt, seemingly caring for her as a part of her family. She has high expectations of Gabi, hoping that she will be able to inherit the Armored Titan from Reiner, and is proud that she is giving the Braun family greater recognition from Marley.[13]
