Hange had always been your idol. You thought that she was greater, even greater than Levi and Erwin. So you joined the survey corps just to be like her.

One day, you were injured during a mission, and was beating yourself up about it, as you couldn't fight in the next mission. You cursed at yourself numerous times, before Hange walked in. "You're the injured Cadet, right? I came in here to check up on you!" She explains, being optimistic like always.
