Age: somewhere in her mid 20s!

History: wiki

Personality:

☝️amiable (+): Pieck carries a mostly friendly demeanor around others, shown to wave for her hellos, at times hug, and even physically coddle frightened souls when they need it, from squeezing their hands in reassurance to offering gentle strokes when they're asleep or protectively embracing them. All of her comrades and those directly working with her seem to adore her, some even arguing among themselves to be the first to touch her hand when she needs help. Overall, she doesn't tend to be rude without reason, and is almost always, if not always, reasonable and rather quaint to speak to. She's also incredibly considerate to her loved ones, giving up her life as a civilian and shortening it as a result, so to speak, to be able to take care of her ill Father.

☝️astute (+): Peick’s good judgement is her greatest quality, as it was a natural skill that was preened to talent enough to be chosen as the Cart Titan holder. Through her experiences and training under Marley, Pieck is able to assess a situation that happens around her, is able to stop, to reflect, to deduce and then act accordingly for the most desirable outcome— all done promptly rather than hot headedly following a moment’s feeling of intense emotion. She’s able to keep certain calm during these times that allows her to make the best and most rational decision in and outside of the battlefield; if she doesn’t trust someone, she subtly lets people she knows know she’s uncertain and uncomfortable. She separates what she’s feeling with what must be done, allowing to successfully choose perhaps the better path in a problem. This not only benefits her, but also the comrades that work with her, shown to be incredibly trusting of her. As they say: usually, Pieck is right.

When others begin to act towards passion, Pieck is the steady hand by them to remind them of the facts in their favor or not (an example of this was when Liberio was under attack; Porco begins to worry about immediately taking down Eren and taking the Founder from him to secure their place. Pieck calmly asks why he’s so worried, and explains their advantage: the survey corps weaponry is short term and they have nowhere to go: fight as backup). She’s also fully aware she can’t control everything— usually, a true plan comes into play after the fact, but she keeps her senses keen for the possibilities far beforehand (using the same example as the former, Porco eventually runs off on his own even after Pieck advises not to; she stands her ground and continues with the plan on her part, and eventually is overwhelmed). Pieck is aware of her judgement as they were the reason why she topped the list of candidates to inherit the Cart. Zeke has been known to constantly praise her for this when she deduces something (“That’s Pieck for you! You’re absolutely right!”, or something along those lines).

Pieck also recently proclaims in the latest chapters: I’ve always been focused on one point from the start, meaning, if she has an objective, the only thing that changes (or not) is how to get there. She doesn’t deviate and she doesn’t let emotion cloud that judgement. One better example of this was when Zeke’s betrayal came into play; rather than becoming uncertain in her actions or feeling a need to hold back (like many of the Survey Corps feel regarding Eren), she does not, counting that she mentions always having doubts about him due to a gut feeling of him always lying, until he finally heard him being sincere to his younger half brother. While she may harbor feelings that can pull certain strings, she doesn’t let it dictate her actions. She counter attacks and carries her captain with high caliber anti-titan artillery, and aims to shoot him down and kill him. This, because above being her friend, Zeke was an enemy to humanity despite his “well meaning” intentions. Her side was still by the people she still trusted, and the best course was to fight back and disallow The Rumbling.

☝️obstinate (+/-): I'd also like to add that while Pieck has exemplary deduction skills and a gift to keeping rational, it really doesn't mean she's always right— this can also be a weakness depending on the circumstance, such as when Falco decided to transform for the first time to help the other shifters against a fleet of Jaegerists. Pieck advises against it due to it being a risky gamble (a shifter's first shift hardly ever goes well in that they lose control of themselves). He decides to do it anyway, and if they hadn't, perhaps the shifters would've been overwhelmed completely, and their progress to reach the source of the Rumbling lost.

☝️easy going (+/-): Almost always seen with her infamous "sleepy cat" look, a laid-back smile and disheveled hair, Pieck's calm can definitely be interpreted as patient, tolerant and perhaps at its worst, stoical— but it shouldn't be confused with her being unable to take initiative or being too forgiving— if she's confident, she'll play along. She can make prodding jokes and give people cute nicknames. If something bothers her, she'll still immediately cut it off and let the person know their boundaries.

☝️eccentric : Pieck is a keeper. She doesn't exactly fit into a pre-molded cast and has her own perks that she doesn't at the least seem embarrassed to have and express. She crawls around on all fours if her body is used enough to it, takes up an entire couch to sprawl out on and seems to enjoy the kick of scaring or weirding people out with it (as she smiles up lopsidedly at Porco nearly having a heart attack on the stairs). If she feels like crawling and there aren't too many souls around to hound her for it, why not crawl? If she wants to start walking normally again, then she'll get her crutch.

☝️motivations: Pieck discusses their precarious situation within the military with her fellow comrades several times in the manga with a heavy gaze and worried frown, and is even shown to have become more emotional when speaking to Gabi of their possible fates in the future, saying that if they leave things the way they are, Eldians will even lose their combat value and be killed off like animals, one by one— this reflects the most in her goals that remain focused from start to finish in what she wants: freedom and the protection of her family. Her desire is for her kind to be live and walk about just as anyone else does, with no scorn or backlash, and this, Pieck believes they must earn that on their own as no one will facilitate it for them. She fights not for loyalty to Marley, saying outright that she doesn’t trust them; she fights for a pathway that can lead to being treated equally, and starting with fighting off Eren Jaeger and his Founding Titan as he sets off to destroy the rest of the world— a world that wants them all dead, and that doesn’t stop Pieck, even after learning that Liberio, where her father lives, has already been trampled halfway towards encountering Eren.

Powers:

Pieck is one of the holders of the Nine Titans, in her case, capable of shifting into a four meter giant called The Cart Titan; considered the smallest of titans, the Cart is capable and made for carrying heavy cargo and weaponry on its flattened back. Known for its high stamina and endurance, Cart titan holders are capable of staying in their titan form for months at a time without the posed risk of absorption that other shifters face in hours at a time. Because of the Cart’s body type, it’s often shown to be equipped with man-made weaponry, such as tanks, armored clasps and machine guns for battle. That doesn’t mean the Cart lacks offensive prowess— Pieck has been recently shown to be able to consistently shift one time after another, “one hundred times” in a row if need be thanks to the Cart’s endurance (while most shifters can only shift up to three times in a row) and shows off a fierce attack in being able to move swiftly and use her jaws to assault immediate weak points. Carts are one of the only titans (next to Zeke’s Beast) that can speak coherently and in complete sentences without problems. Pieck is a little weaker than the others— while all shifters are capable of rapid regeneration (as long as the brain and spine aren’t severed), any damage to the titan, while she’s capable of healing, is slower, especially in her human form. And as a fun tidbit: she sometimes says in her titan form for so long that she forgets how to walk— she can be seen crawling around on all fours because “it feels more natural”, and often needs crutches to stand normally.

as a note, i’ve spoken to mods about pieck coming in her titan form! she’ll be shrunk down to two meters and her regeneration abilities will be nerfed until regaining the ability to shift and deshift! she has no superhuman strength, only the strength of something that’s two meters (i still imagine a horse). if anything else is needed, please let me know!

Inventory: just her clothes inside her titan.


Vision: anemo (wind)
Reason:

Pieck, joined the military warrior program as a child after learning her father was ill. Earning a spot as a Warrior would give rights to proper medical attention and aid her father wouldn’t have otherwise due to their status as Eldians. Eldians are generally treated extremely poorly by Marley and even worse beyond that. As they begin to lose their advantage and combat value in the military, Pieck worries for the future of Eldians and fights for a different end in her own manner. She states that they must earn their place in the world by their own means and expresses that what she wants most in the world is for Eldians to be free— this is a cause she fights to see in the future, and what I believe makes her a good fit for wind!
