Traute Caven character guide

Traute Caven was the second in command of the Anti-Personnel Control Squad within the Military Police Brigade and was very loyal to her superior, Captain Kenny Ackerman.

She appeared to be a young woman with a fit, thin build. She often held a calm, almost sad expression. Her blonde hair was just a little bit past shoulder length which she usually kept tied back with bangs that are parted down the middle. Upon meeting Kenny, she wore a basic Military Police uniform with a white button-up shirt underneath, however, once having entered the Anti-Personnel Control Squad she was seen, like the others in the squad, wearing a pair of tight black pants, a white button-up shirt, and a pair of black shoes along with her anti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment.

Exhibiting some nihilistic views on life, Traute was a rather faithless woman with little life in her eyes and words. She spoke of the world she lived in and the life she lived as meaningless and was usually rather emotionless, even after Levi Ackerman killed three of her comrades before her eyes. Though Traute was usually dull and sad, she gave her subordinates a motivational speech right before her encounter with the Survey Corps, saying that if they were able to buy time, it would pay off and that they must believe in Kenny's dream that would turn the world upside down. Before meeting Kenny, she lacked any motivation to live her life, however, after meeting him she found hope in carrying out his orders and tried to make his dreams a reality.

History: Two years after the fall of Wall Maria, in the year 847, during Kenny Ackerman's briefing of the new Anti-Personnel Control Squad, Traute Caven gained Kenny's attention when she admitted she was fine with having a homicidal maniac who had never been in the military running their squad. She spoke about the falling of the Walls and their giving up on fighting the Titans, and asked Kenny if that was why they were there; being the end result of following the rules of the Walls and creating the military corps.

Traute Caven in the story: Caven is one of the soldiers Kenny brings to pick up Eren and Historia from Dimo Reeves. As Captain Ackerman goes for a walk with Reeves, she and her subordinates search Eren and Historia for blades and weapons. After Kenny disposes of Reeves and her subordinates dispose of his men, she approaches Captain Ackerman and reports that both Eren and Historia were carrying a number of blades as he suspected.
