"because it has always been uncertain which side she was on--humanity's or the monsters'." *** Squad leader Shantal Altaris. Her background has always been vague. And people always hate what they could not understand. Of course, there was Lance Corporal Levi Ackerman, who also had a rather ambiguous past. But unlike him, she showed no outstanding talents--she was relatively average in the opinion of many. Well, except for her looks, and her exceeding ability for enticing men, and barking orders around measly cadets. An arrogant bitch--as some might call her. Others just prefer 'social climber' or 'commander's pet'. She was often seen around commander Erwin. That's why people whispered. Her squad rarely go out for expeditions. When they do, they are always positioned at the center, or beside the commander. The very place where its safest. That earned her even more scorn and jealousy. Nobody knew why she should be kept away from harm, while others are basically titan food. Another issue is the fact that she perfectly gets away with messing with the higher-ups. Including the grumpy corporal himself, who is on the receiving end of her rather strong and obvious distaste. A brat. Only Corporal Levi could ever dare to call 'the' Major Altaris a brat and humiliate her in front of the public. That's why she abhors him. Everybody knew she was bad news. Even the members of her own squad are reluctant to fully trust her. She thinks so high of herself, and views others as mere maggots to be trampled on. That kind of mindset is dangerous. Especially since she possesses passionate hatred for a number of people that she didn't mind feeding to the naked monsters. People who didn't know what the hell they did to her to make her hate them so much, so much it was almost admirable. But they're better off not knowing. Ignorance is bliss. Because once the truth is enveiled, those who know are as good as dead. - Shingeki no Kyojin © Hajime Isayama Wingless © @paradoxicalstar
