Rico Brzenska

A squad leader of the elite unit. A female soldier who wears glasses. Height: 156 cm. Weight: 52 kg. She was one of the soldiers who surrounded Eren after he emerged from the Titan and supported Kitz's opinion, recommending the immediate elimination of Eren and his group. Although she has a conservative and inflexible side, she has a strong sense of responsibility. In the anime version, she expresses strong trust in Ian, who was entrusted with command, by saying, along with Mitabi, "We can leave it to Ian." During the operation to seal the gate in Trost District, she did not trust Eren and was negative about his involvement in the operation. She attempted to retreat, leaving the rampaging Eren behind, but was persuaded by Ian to support securing the route. She protected Eren from the Titans until the end and fired the yellow smoke signal to announce the success of the operation. After the operation, she appeared at the tribunal with Mikasa and others, believing that conveying the truth as it is was the best course of action, and submitted a report detailing the fact that Eren could not fully control his Titan form. When Titans invaded Wall Rose, she came under Kitz's command and fought Titans on the eastern defense line. Later, she took care of Historia after she returned from the operation to reclaim Eren. After the conclusion of the "Battle of Heaven and Earth," she appears as one of the soldiers in the crowd excited by the speech. However, in the anime version, she had a slightly dubious expression, so it is unclear whether she truly sympathized with the military.
