Prologue

It was a cold winter night in wall Sina. The underground brothels were filled with people as usual. In a small brothel in the upper class whorehouses, the bidding of sex slaves took place. There were girls cuffed to the wooden walls of the brothel with no clothes for the customers to choose. Girls of all ages were displayed to the customers. After all, in the underground, age never mattered. As long as the girl had a vagina, she was good enough to be sold. Tiana was one of those girls cuffed to the wall. She was 7 years old, and the seller was expecting a high bid for her as she was good at tolerating an immense amount of pain and staying alive. After all, that's what she was trained for by years of torture just to please the desires of a sick and horrid man. Just as the bid for Tiana rose to 200 gold coins, the survey corps entered the brothel and broke the joint. The survey corps were underground because the were looking for a military personnel who seemed to steal and sell their 3DMG to the black market but as they came across the brothel, they decided to intervene and stop the selling of the minors. A trial was held and Tiana, the only child under the age of 12, was adopted by the Hertz couple who lived in the shiganshina district and served the Garrison . Tiana was not social and preferred to keep to herself and read a lot of books. She knew how to read before she was adopted but it took some time to get her to talk because of the trauma she went through. She was caught a few times trying self harm but that only made her learn to do it secretly. She liked hurting herself as she was used to it since she was 5. Time passed and one day, Tiana killed a garrison member because he tried to touch her inappropriately. This caused a lot of commotion and another trial was held but the right hand of the Survey Corps Commander, Erwin Smith, took full responsibility to train her to control herself as he and the other survey corps had a mission outside wall Maria and decided to stay in shiganshina for a few years. She was 8 when it happened. After 5 years of training with Erwin Smith, she was more antisocial, really good with swords, and could tackle a grown man without killing him. She however, was not comfortable around any man except Mr Hertz, Erwin Smith and Levi Ackerman, who was another antisocial recruit at that time, really talented and also came from the underground. The first time she met Levi was when she was 8 and at Commander Smith's quarters. Levi was in the same squad as Commander Smith and visited him frequently for work purposes. The only interaction she ever had with Levi was when she quietly read books which she borrowed from the commander and Levi drank his tea in the living room. She didn't hate him like other men because he never talked to her or looked at her. When Tiana turned 14, wall Maria breached. Levi was a captain then and Erwin was on a meeting with the Commander Pixis on behalf of commander Shadis in wall Rose. Mr and Mrs Hertz left Tiana with a guard to take her to the evacuation boat while the Hertzs went to fight the titans. They never came back as they were eaten. Tiana had no other choice than to join the survey corps. It was intimidating for her as there were many men there too but she knew how to tackle them when necessary. She tried not to make many friends but she grew close to Mikasa Ackerman and Eren Jaegar as they also killed someone when they were younger.
