Her eyes are golden and are usually covered by her bangs much to her displeasure. She wears the usual Military attire with a rich blue shirt underneath.

She has a leather necklace around her neck with a small silver vial at the end, which is usually tucked into her shirt when she needs it out of the way. Personality: Mina is a bright kind of person,always trying to stay in the conversation and makes an effort to involve other in it. She is kind to the people around her, as she hopes to try and make friends since she never really had any outside of her family. She can stand up for herself though, despite looking so small ( growing up as the smallest in a big family had its advantages) and does not let people walk over her. She does not frighten easily, used to seeing blood and fights, but the very idea of titans frightens her because of her mother’s stories. She can get very flustered around people she thinks are cool, but she tries to downplay it (horribly). History: Minna was born the youngest to a big family with 5 brothers and 2 sisters, not including her cousins and their children. She lived in Rogaka, a small village near the south of Wall Rose, her father a prominent farmer and her mother an expert in medicinal herbs and plant based substances and their uses which she taught to Minna. She lived a relatively peaceful life there, despite the fights that sometimes broke out with the neighboring farmers or her mother’s paranoid rants about the wall, and her family got along. However, after the fall or Wall Maria her family was divided in two, one half going off to join the military and fight, the other staying in the village to continue farming. Minna was short a half of her family after the fighting was done. Years passed, and as soon as Minna was old enough she ran off to join the Military determined to do better than her family members. This much to the displeasure of her father because he thought that she was too physically weak to get very far; her mother simply told her to die as she pleased. Other: At the farm she would help her mother tend the garden or be taking care of the animals they had. Her cousins taught her to read and write but she was never very good at it. Their ‘read it right or get kicked’ teaching method also turned her away from the idea of it early on.
