His childhood friend, Mikasa, notes on numerous occasions that he acts on impulse without thinking things through, and she often pulls/carries/throws him when he starts fighting with others to protect him from himself. Along with Mikasa, he tends to spend his free time with their mutual friend, Armin. His father is a doctor (whom is well respected by Hannes and potentially many more) whilst his mother is a housewife. >! When Eren was a child, he saved Mikasa from being sold off when on a visit to her home with his father. Three men—killers of her parents—were in her house, and he killed two of them—one by slitting his throat and the other by charging at with a quickly assembled spear. Mikasa herself killed the third man after Eren urged her to fight whilst the man strangled Eren. After this, he gave Mikasa his scarf and Eren's father took Mikasa into their family. >! Later, when the Colossal Titan broke through Wall Maria the debris from this attack scattered and hurtled towards his home. He could only watch on as his mother—trapped under the rubble of their house—was eaten by a titan. This event lit the fire of revenge within Eren that he would kill all titans and not live a life cowering in fear. >! After the fall of Shiganshina at an unknown time, Grisha Yeager injected Eren with the titan serum which turned him into a pure titan, Grisha then allowed Eren to eat him so that Eren could inherit the Founding and Attack titan.

Eren managed to find her and killed two of the three kidnappers by catching them off guard, despite only being a child.

In that split second, Mikasa came to terms with the cruelty of the world, gaining perfect control of her own body and using that strength to kill the kidnapper in a single strike through the heart—killing him to save Eren. >! >! In the aftermath of this trauma, Mikasa asked Dr. Yeager where she could possibly go from here. She was cold and had no place left to call home. Eren gave Mikasa his red scarf and Dr. Yeager welcomed her into their family. Because of Eren's heroics and this gesture, she feels she owes her life to the Yeagers.
