Survey Corps
Every morning at Wall Maria’s supply depot, you quietly sell wildflowers picked from nearby meadows, offering a small, hopeful comfort amid the harsh reality of Titan threats. Survey Corps members and villagers alike stop by: Levi silently takes a flower, seeing them as the only clean things left; gentle Armin finds hope in their brightness; Connie teases but cares; resolute Erwin quietly challenges you to join the fight; agitated Eren questions their value; curious Hange marvels at them; pragmatic Jean grudgingly accepts; protective Mikasa shares a silent moment; and cheerful Sasha brings light with her laughter. In a world overshadowed by war and fear, your flower cart stands as a constant symbol of fragile life and quiet hope - something worth protecting beyond the bloodshed.

You don't know what your first reply should be? No problem, here are some examples for you! (remind yourself to replace the {{User}} and the "they/their"). The {{User}} part can also stay in case you like to write in 3rd-person perspective.
To Levi
{{User}} glances up as the familiar figure approaches through the muted dawn, Levi’s sharp eyes already flickering over their modest display with practiced precision. The pale light struggles to push back the lingering shadows clinging to the crumbling streets, and a cool breeze stirs loose petals on the ground. Their fingers tighten unconsciously around the stems of the daisy they’d been sorting, the fragile bloom almost slipping beneath their grasp.
“Good morning, Captain Levi,” they murmur quietly, the words barely louder than a breath, knowing well he won’t offer more than a curt nod or silence in return. They watch with quiet reverence as he pauses, his gaze narrowing slightly, and selects a single flower with a flick of his fingers - precise, deliberate, the same cold, efficient motion he uses when sharpening his blades before battle.
Their throat tightens with something like hope or hesitation. They take a small breath and decide to break the brittle quiet between them, careful to keep their voice soft and steady. “I... I found these yesterday,” they say, lifting a cluster of small blue blossoms, their petals still cool and fragile with the dawn’s lingering chill. “They looked like they’d survived the frost somehow, even when everything around them seemed too harsh.”
They pause, searching Levi’s unreadable expression for some hint of acknowledgment, before continuing, voice almost a whisper now. “I thought maybe... maybe they could remind people that not everything dies in the cold. Even in the worst times, something can still bloom.”
To Armin
{{User}} feels a gentle warmth spread through them as they see the blond boy approach, his soft, thoughtful expression standing out like a fragile light in the harsh reality of the morning. The usual rush of the soldiers seems to slow around him, and they find themselves relaxing a little under his calm gaze.
Their fingers nervously adjust the cloth covering the flowers before slowly pulling it back to reveal a handful of tiny, star-shaped blossoms, delicate and pale against their palm. “I saved a few for you,” they say quietly, voice soft but steady, trying to hide the little thrill of connection in their tone. “I remembered you said last week you liked the ones that looked like the night sky—the stars caught in flowers.”
They lean in slightly, lowering their voice as if sharing something precious, something meant only for Armin’s ears. “I don’t know their real name,” they admit, a small, wistful smile tugging at their lips. “The old woman in the village used to call them ‘hope’s bloom.’ She said they only grow where someone survived... where something lived, even after everything else is gone.” Their hands fidget nervously with the corner of the cloth, the movement betraying the weight of unspoken fears and fragile hopes. “I... I thought you might like that story. Maybe it’s silly, but sometimes stories like that are all we have to hold onto.”
To Connie
{{User}} catches sight of Connie’s familiar grin from down the street before he even steps close enough to hear their voice. Their lips twitch into a small, reluctant smile - his teasing has always been a small bright spot in days that feel heavy with fear and uncertainty. In a world where normal barely exists anymore, those brief moments of lightheartedness are something they quietly cherish.
As Connie draws near, they lean on their cart with a dramatic flair, one hand resting confidently on their hip, as if putting on a show just for him. The corner of their mouth quirks up in a smirk, their voice carrying just enough teasing edge to match his own. “Still alive, huh?” they call out before he can even greet them properly. “Guess the Titans haven’t gobbled you up yet. Good thing - you’d probably taste like dust and bad jokes.”
Their eyes sparkle with mischief as they reach behind the wooden crate and pull out a scruffy, uneven bundle of wildflowers - petals ragged, stems tangled, but somehow still stubbornly bright. Holding it out to him, their grin softens into something more genuine, warm. “Here. No excuses today. I’ll even let you pay me later if you survive your next run.” They watch Connie closely, their gaze flickering with concern beneath the teasing as they lower their voice, their smile faltering just a little. “Be careful, Connie.”
To Erwin
{{User}} straightens up instinctively the moment Commander Erwin’s silhouette cuts through the pale morning haze. Even from a distance, his figure stands out - tall, commanding, a presence that parts the air around him like a blade slicing through fog. The uneven cobblestones of the street seem to steady under his steps, and for a fleeting second, the world feels ordered, purposeful.
As his sharp, ice-blue gaze settles on them, {{User}} feels an invisible weight press against their chest. It isn’t fear - not exactly. It’s something heavier, something built from stories whispered by soldiers and the unspoken grief in the eyes of those left behind. In Erwin’s stare lives the burden of a hundred impossible decisions, and for a heartbeat, it feels as though that weight rests on their small shoulders too. They clear their throat, their voice a little tighter than usual, and speak with more formality than they offer to anyone else who passes their modest flower cart. “Good morning, Commander.” The words come out softer than intended, but Erwin hears them. He always does.
Reaching down, {{User}} carefully selects a single, slender stalk from the neat bundle beside them. The petals are a pale, fragile shade of blue, almost colorless against the gray of dawn - a timid defiance against a world that refuses to be gentle. They hold it out toward him, their small fingers trembling just slightly as they brush against the rough leather of his gloved hand when he takes it.
“This one’s called ‘soldier’s promise.’” Their voice wavers, but they press on, searching for steady ground in the commander’s gaze. “It... it means ‘I’ll come home.’" The words linger in the space between them, fragile things carried on the faint morning wind. A silence settles - not uncomfortable, but heavy, filled with everything neither of them says aloud.
{{User}} swallows hard, feeling the tight knot in their throat, and lifts their chin, meeting Erwin’s gaze as steadily as they can. Those pale blue eyes are sharp, yes, but there’s something beneath them today. A flicker of quiet understanding, or perhaps something close to sorrow.
“I don’t know if flowers mean much to people like you,” they continue, their voice quieter now, carrying the weight of something they don’t fully understand themselves, “but I thought maybe it could... remind you what you’re fighting for.” Another pause. The kind that feels like it could stretch forever, thick with the knowledge that not everyone who walks past this cart will return. And then, softer still, barely louder than a breath: “I hope you’ll come back, Commander.”
To Eren
{{User}} braces themselves the moment they catch sight of Eren’s restless figure pacing toward them, his shoulders tight, fists clenched at his sides, tension clinging to him like a gathering storm. There’s a wild, unsteady look in his eyes - the kind that makes most people shrink back or turn away, as though afraid they might be swept up in whatever fury drives him. But {{User}} doesn’t move. They’ve seen that look before.
Swallowing the knot of unease that rises in their throat, {{User}} squares their shoulders, straightening behind their modest cart of wildflowers. The faint scent of earth and crushed petals hangs between them, fragile and defiant in the cold morning air. Maybe it’s foolish - maybe it’s reckless - but they speak anyway, their voice carrying a stubborn edge despite its softness.
“You know... not everything worth fighting for is a Titan, you know.” The words hang there for a moment, and {{User}} can feel the weight of Eren’s gaze shift, sharp and accusing, like a blade drawn halfway from its sheath. But they don’t look away. Instead, with careful, deliberate fingers, they reach for a single white bloom - its petals still wet with dew - and tuck it into a small knot of cloth, wrapping it like a tiny, fragile promise.
“These flowers...” {{User}} begins again, their voice steady but low, as if sharing a secret not meant for anyone else, “they grow where no one expects them to. Right through stone. In places people thought were dead... forgotten.” They pause, glancing down at the small bundle in their hands before lifting their eyes to meet his. “I... I think that’s something too.”
To Hange
{{User's}} grin lifts the moment they spot Hange’s unmistakable silhouette in the distance - that wild tangle of hair catching in the morning light, eyes gleaming with the same restless curiosity that never seemed to dull, no matter how heavy the world became. Even before Hange reaches them, {{User}} is already shifting things around on their modest flower cart, moving aside bundles of carefully arranged wildflowers and worn cloth to clear a familiar little space just big enough for the scientist to crouch beside.
“I saved something weird for you,” they announce with a kind of quiet pride, their voice carrying a note of excitement that not even the somber morning haze can dim. From beneath a frayed scrap of linen, {{User}} lifts a scraggly-looking plant, its pale yellow blooms a little wilted from the cold but stubbornly hanging on. The scent of earth and old wood clings to it, sharp and comforting in an odd way.
“I don’t know what it is,” they admit, holding it out like a precious relic, “but it smells like old books... or maybe those maps you keep in the supply room that nobody’s allowed to touch.” Their grin widens as they lean in closer, lowering their voice to a mock-conspiratorial whisper. “I thought maybe you could figure it out. Or... I don’t know, accidentally poison someone if you’re bored.” The words tumble out with a soft, breathless laugh, one of those rare moments where the weight of the world lifts, even if just for a heartbeat. “It’s yours if you want it,” {{User}} adds, voice gentler now, quieter, like an offering between old friends. “You always find the odd ones beautiful.”
To Jean
{{User}} notices Jean’s familiar scowl before they even see his face. There’s something unmistakable about the way he moves - shoulders slightly hunched, jaw set tight like he’s bracing for some fight that hasn’t even started yet. The morning light barely creeps over the rooftops, leaving long, pale shadows in the narrow streets, but Jean’s figure cuts through it like a stubborn, unyielding thing. He walks like every step is a chore, like the weight of the world clings to his boots, but he still shows up. Always does.
They can’t help the small smile tugging at the corners of their lips. It’s a familiar sight now, one they’ve learned to look for - one of the few things in this broken, unpredictable world that stays constant. Leaning lazily against the edge of the cart, {{User}} props their elbows on the worn wood and watches him approach with open amusement. They tilt their head, letting the morning wind tug at a few stray strands of hair, and when he’s close enough, they smirk.
“Oh look. It’s Mr. Sunshine.” The words are light, teasing, carrying the kind of weightless ease meant to chase away whatever storm’s been riding his shoulders all morning. Without missing a beat, they reach into the bundle of scraggly wildflowers and pull out a single, stubborn-looking bloom - its petals uneven, a little rough at the edges, but holding its shape all the same. It’s a survivor’s flower, clinging to life in soil where nothing else should grow.
They hold it up between their fingers, letting it catch the weak sunlight. “This one reminded me of you. Kind of ugly, kind of sharp. But it never dies. Even in the worst storms.”
To Mikasa
{{User}} always senses her before they see her - that quiet, steady presence lingering at the edges of the gathering crowd. Even among the clatter of boots, the murmur of voices, and the sharp scent of oiled steel, there’s something about her that doesn’t quite blend in. It’s not loud or obvious, but a constant, unwavering thread in the chaos, like the calm before a storm or the hush before dawn breaks.
They keep their head down, pretending to busy themselves with a bundle of wilted petals, though they can feel her gaze from where she stands, watching in silence like she always does. There’s a weight in it, not threatening, not cold - just... there. Unmoving. Unfaltering.
When she finally approaches, the world seems to quiet around them. Footsteps blur. Voices fade. Time stretches in the small space between them. {{User}}’s hands hover for a moment over the flowers, choosing carefully. Not the ones with bright colors, not the ones that shout for attention. Their fingers close around a single white bloom - small, simple, untouched by frill or excess. The kind of thing people overlook. The kind of thing that survives.
They offer it wordlessly at first, palm open, as though presenting something sacred. For a moment, neither of them speaks. The flower rests between them like an unspoken promise. Then, softly, in a voice meant only for her, {{User}} says, “I don’t have to say it, do I? You already understand.”
Their fingers brush hers as she takes it, the contact brief but steady - a touch of warmth against the coolness of the morning air. In that simple gesture lies more than words could carry. Grief. Resolve. A fragile, defiant kind of hope. “For strength,” {{User}} murmurs, the words threading into the quiet space between them. “For the ones you’ll protect.”
They lift their gaze, meeting hers. Not challenging, not pleading. Just steady. Sure. As certain as the sun will rise and the Titans will come again. “Thank you... for coming back.”
To Sasha
{{User}} can’t help but laugh the moment they catch sight of Sasha’s eager stride cutting through the early morning haze, her expression already bright and animated in a way that no one else’s quite managed to be these days. There was a kind of unshakable warmth in the way she practically bounded toward the cart like a child chasing something wonderful, and it tugged a rare, honest grin from {{User}}'s lips before they even realized it.
Leaning casually against the edge of their weather-worn cart, {{User}} shook their head in playful exasperation, pretending to scold as Sasha drew closer. “I swear, if you eat one of these again, I’m charging you double!” they teased, though there was no real bite in their voice - only fondness, the kind that came from knowing someone for long enough to expect their little mischiefs and love them all the same.
Reaching for one of the brighter blooms nestled among the morning’s selection, {{User}} carefully plucked a bold, sun-yellow flower from the bundle. They twirled it idly between their fingers, watching the way the petals caught the weak sunlight, a brief splash of color against the dull, dust-choked streets.
They leaned in conspiratorially, lowering their voice to a dramatic, mock-serious whisper, their eyes sparkling with quiet mischief. “This one probably tastes terrible,” they murmured, lifting the bloom a little higher between them. “Bitter. Tough. The kind of thing that’d leave you gagging for a whole day. But you... you’re brave enough to try it, I bet.”
