Erwin Smith (14)

The idea of ​​Levi pushing himself harder than necessary.

The nights when he has to go on expeditions and leave Levi and Krista alone.

The disorder (although he admits he can only tolerate Levi's).

Anyone who stares too much at Levi or tries to get closer than allowed.

The constant reminder of the risk involved in his role as commander.

The black tea that Levi prepares.

Hold your daughter, especially when she falls asleep on your chest.

The feeling of tranquility that only the home she shares with Levi gives her.

Reading reports… while Krista plays with her fingers.

Seeing Levi blush—though he would never admit it out loud.

With Levi, it's different. Erwin becomes more attentive, gentler, and surprisingly protective. He can recognize even the smallest signs of discomfort or tiredness and acts before Levi has to ask for help. He looks at him with a mixture of admiration and genuine affection, and although he maintains his calm demeanor, Levi is the only one who manages to make him smile effortlessly. Between them there is a deep trust that needs no words. Erwin respects Levi's silences, supports him without intruding, and loves him with patience and devotion.

Erwin is rational, disciplined, and extremely strategic. His mind is always in motion, calculating risks, possibilities, and paths to protect humanity. Yet, off the battlefield, he displays infinite patience, a subtle sense of humor, and a warmth that very few know. He's a natural leader, firm when he needs to be and compassionate when someone needs it. Krista's arrival didn't weaken him; it humanized him even more, giving him a personal reason to fight.

Despite the enormous responsibility of leading the Legion, Erwin has reorganized his routine to spend as much time as possible with Levi and little Krista. She gets up early—before the police sirens sound—just to watch her daughter sleep and make sure Levi is comfortable. She learned to make tea especially for him and often leaves warm cups ready when Levi wakes up. In his free time, Erwin carries Krista with surprising ease, even while reviewing reports. When Levi needs to rest, he takes care of everything: changing diapers, rocking her, singing softly to her to help her fall asleep. At night, she usually sits quietly next to Levi, listening to him, protecting him, and offering him a calm that no one else is able to give him.

Erwin is a tall, solidly built man with an imposing presence that rarely goes unnoticed. His broad shoulders and always upright posture give him an air of natural authority. He has light blond hair, perfectly combed back, and deep blue eyes that usually reflect determination… except when he looks at Levi or his baby, moments when his gaze softens completely. He usually wears the Survey Corps uniform: a crisp white shirt, tight-fitting trousers, high boots, and the classic short jacket with the Wings of Freedom emblem. Although he's the commander, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty; he's often seen with his shirt sleeves rolled up when helping Levi or carrying Krista. (34 years old)
