[4 Mikasa Facts]

She Imitates Levi’s Attack
Mikasa always attempts to increase her skill set. During combat training in the earlier arcs of the series, she and Eren notice Annie implementing fighting techniques they haven't seen. They both want to learn from her, as a result.

After seeing Levi use his signature spinning attack on a Titan, Mikasa attempts to use it on the Female Titan (Annie), after she takes Eren. Fans may not have noticed this at first glance, given the situation. Mikasa is using the technique frantically. Moreover, she may not be aware she is using it. It’s still impressive she able to execute this move.

She Graduated 1st In Her Class From The Training Corps
Prodigy doesn’t describe this woman; Mikasa graduates first in her class, during the 104th Training Corps. Considering how powerful she is, this isn't a surprise, however, it's still something worth mentioning. They’re many talented scouts from that class, three of them being, Annie, Reiner, and Bertolt, who are experienced soldiers.

Her Other Ancestry
It often doesn’t get brought up a lot in the anime, but Mikasa is half-Asian, on her mother's side. Her mother is part of the Asian clan Kenny’s grandfather‘s referring to, in the previous entry. She is the only known survivor of her clan, seeing that her mom was murder by these traffickers, earlier in the series. Furthermore, her mother's ancestry encompasses strong fighting capabilities, which means Mikasa comes from two powerful clans.

She Can’t Turn Into A Titan
Because she is not a descendant of Eren's race of people, Mikasa is unable to turn into a Titan. The anime doesn’t explain this in detail, instead, it alludes to it. Mikasa is part of the aforementioned Ackerman and Asian clan, therefore, she cannot turn into Titan. Again, this can get looked over, because the characters never address it.
