They also had a sense of self-sacrifice, and often risked their life to let the Scouts live. They state that everything that they and the Scouts do is “for the sake of the Eldian people”. They displayed a great deal of resistance to Eren Yeager’s Rumbling plan, whilst remaining seemingly patriotic to their country.
They are displayed to be highly intelligent They also attempted to console a crying Mikasa when she believes that her life-long friend, Armin, was about to pass away, sharing that they have hundreds of people that they wish they could bring back to life themselves. They once threatened to push Pastor Nick off the Wall and kill him, and later brutally tortures Djell Sannes for murdering Nick. They are one of the few individuals who express genuine compassion for the Titans prior to the discovery of their true nature as transformed Eldians.ĭespite their excited nature, Hange has shown to be serious as times, this seriousness increasing as the severity of the threat of the enemy increased. They also fawn over the idea over encountering an abnormal, which Levi mocks them for. In the OVA, they beg to be allowed to capture a Titan in order to do experiments and becomes furious when refused. Hange is an extremely energetic person, and has felt a great obsession for Titans ever since they cut a Titan into pieces and saw how light it was. In the anime, they have a more obvious feminine appearance, most notably by more prominent (though not over the top) breasts, which leads many to believe that Hange is a woman. Depending on the angle and pose, one can sometimes discern a faint trace of breasts, but this is not always visible, even when one would expect it to be. Gender-wise, their appearance is fairly neutral but feminine-leaning in the manga, most notably by the eyelashes typical of woman characters in manga. They usually don either a pair of combat goggles or a regular pair of glasses. Hange is most often seen wearing a butter-yellow shirt and part or all of the Survey Corps uniform, including knee-length leather boots, a half-length brown jacket, white pants and green cape or olive overcoat. In their final moments, they kill several of the colossals using thunderspears, and express that “Titans… truly are beautiful” as they burst into flames due to the heat the Titans emit and pass away. While their past remains unknown, Hange enrolled into the Survey Corps and had served as the leader of the Fourth Squad, until they were named as a commander by Erwin Smith before his death.ĭuring the Rumbling, they name Armin Arlelt as their successor, before bidding farewell to the Scouts as they flew off to fight off the colossal Titans that Eren Yeager summoned in order to commit the Rumbling.
