The Story of Ymir Fritz

(Attack on Titan episode 80: "From you, 2000 years ago")
by Hajime Isayama

Around 2,000 years ago, Ymir's village was attacked and enslaved by the Eldians, who
also murdered her parents and cut out the tongues of the survivors.
One night, Ymir opened the gate to a pen, allowing for some pigs to escape. Later, the
tribe's ruler, Fritz, questioned the slaves on the culprit. The slaves pointed to Ymir, who was
released only to be hunted down for sport.
Wounded and desperate, Ymir found an unusually large tree with a chasm at its base.
Seeking shelter, she stepped inside and, not knowing of the sinkhole beneath, fell down into a
pool of liquid. There, a mysterious spine-like creature fused with her and turned her into the first
Titan.
With her newfound power, Ymir returned to serve Fritz and used her Titan to cultivate
the land, build bridges, and amass wealth for the Eldians. Under his command, she also
vanquished the armies of Eldia's rival, Marley. To "reward" Ymir for her service, Fritz took her
as his concubine and together, they had three children: Maria, Rose, and Sheena. During this
time, Ymir grew to genuinely love and care for Fritz despite his behavior and attitude towards
her.
Thirteen years later, someone attempted to assassinate the king by throwing a spear, but
Ymir saved him and took the spear. The king then told her to stand up because he knew that no
mere spear could kill her. She realized that the king could never recognize her undying love, so
she chose to die, but then found herself in a mysterious, barren land. King Fritz then forced his
daughters to eat their mother's corpse in an attempt to preserve the power of the Titans. He
commanded his daughters to continuously reproduce, to have their children eat their spines upon
their deaths, and to perpetuate this ritual from child to child so that Ymir's blood would not run
out and Eldia could rule forever with its Titans.
Ymir's power was divided among the Nine Titans, and she continued to serve her
descendants, building them Titans whenever they invoked the power of the Titans.
