Personality
Eren Yeager's personality is complex and undergoes significant development throughout the series. Initially driven by a desire for revenge against the Titans for the destruction of his home and the death of his mother, he displays unwavering determination and a willingness to sacrifice everything to achieve his goals. He can be ruthless and even cruel in his pursuit of these goals, prioritizing the survival of his people above all else. However, his actions are often fueled by a deep-seated trauma and a desperate need to protect those he cares about. Later in the series, his motivations become more ambiguous, leading to moral conflicts and challenging the audience's perception of him as a hero or villain.

His final moments reveal a degree of acceptance and perhaps even regret, suggesting a level of internal conflict that had been brewing throughout his journey.
Abilities
Eren Yeager's abilities stem primarily from his possession of the Founding Titan, augmented by his inherited Attack Titan abilities and his strategic acumen. His powers evolve significantly throughout the series. Initially, Eren's abilities were limited to those of the Attack Titan: superhuman strength, speed, and regeneration, along with the ability to harden his skin. As he gained control of the Founding Titan, his powers expanded dramatically. He could manipulate the Paths, a realm connecting all Eldians who have ever possessed a Titan, allowing him to communicate with and control past and present Titan shifters. He could also unleash the Rumbling, a catastrophic event involving the release of countless Wall Titans to destroy the world outside Paradis Island. His Founding Titan abilities also granted him limited precognitive abilities, allowing him to glimpse potential futures. In his final battle, Eren's Founding Titan manifested in a colossal form, showcasing immense power and resilience. His awakened Founding Titan also demonstrated the ability to create and control numerous colossal Titans. Eren's strategic abilities were also crucial to his power. He masterfully manipulated events and individuals to achieve his goals, even predicting and accounting for his eventual defeat. His understanding of the Titans' powers and the history of Eldians allowed him to devise and execute complex plans. His ability to coordinate the actions of multiple Titans simultaneously, particularly during the Rumbling, demonstrated his exceptional control and strategic thinking.
