* HorsingAround: He mentions that his horse Shallot tends to chew on people's hair. This is quickly revealed to be why he always wears a handkerchief, as he is balding.
* PermaStubble
* PrematurelyBald: Due to his horse chewing on his hair, supposedly.
* [[spoiler: SacrificialLion: He's among the first to be killed by the Female Titan]].

!! Ilse Langnar

* YouthfulFreckles

* DareToBeBadass [=/=] GoYeHeroesGoAndDie: His recruitment speech to the surviving members of the 104th manages to be both of these at once, due to his BrutalHonesty. He makes it absolutely clear that about half of them will die during their first mission, and within the next few years roughly 90% of them will have also died. But he promises those that survive will be [[{{Badass}} exceptional]] soldiers with an excellent survival rate. One of his subordinates worries that it will scare away new recruits, and it ''does'' scare many away. But the 21 that remain decide to take up TheCall, even though all are clearly terrified over their decision.

** To put this in perspective, the commander bluntly states that about half the recruits will die, and ''eighty percent of those'' will be on their very first Survey Corps mission. When Eren initially shows interest in joining the Survey Corps, his mother claims it's little more than suicide, and not without good reason.

* BadassAdorable: Look at her face and try to deny it

* ScienceHero: Glimpsed working on the lab with Hange.
* TooDumbToLive: Discussed, as he's the one stuck having to remind Hange that she's ''going to die'' if she keeps sticking her face near a Titan's mouth.

[[quoteright:153:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nanabamanga2_8168.png]]

** TranquilFury: He says it in his icy tone of voice but it's clear he's at least ticked off talking to [[spoiler: the bound Female Titan]], seeing as [[AFatherToHisMen good soldiers have died]].

* HiddenDepths: He's weird but he's noted to be rather perceptive of the true goal of Erwin's plans (thought not as bright as the man himself). Of the Levi squad, he's the first one to realize that Erwin would have a very specific reason for keeping in the dark about said plans.

* AmbiguousGender: Short hair and strong features, but appears to have a modest bust and in the anime, uses feminine pronouns.

!! Moblit
A member of Hange Zoë's squad, he often acts as her research assistant and struggles to keep her out of harm's way.

* BeleagueredAssistant: She seems to have one in the form of Moblit, the poor guy always stuck keeping her from being eaten by her experiments.

* HeroicResolve:[[spoiler: She is wounded after the fight against Eren, Reiner and Bert but even with her wound she crawled to help her teammates and succeeded to predict the location of the two traitors.]]

* TooDumbToLive: Discussed, as people are ''amazed'' that she survives considering how she behaves around her precious test subjects. (Hint: That would be the job of the [[BeleagueredAssistant poor guy]] that's always yanking her out of the way and complaining about how unsafe her experiments are.)
