Throughout her tragic life, Historia uttered some great quotes that readers appreciate as much as Eldians appreciate her.
The royal family has always played an important role in Attack of the Titans. One of the characters introduced very early on in the manga was Krista Lenz. Like Eren and Armin, she was part of the 104th Training Brigade and joined the Exploration Battalion. Although the story didn’t focus on her for long, she eventually became as crucial as they.
Fans were stunned to discover that Krista was actually Historia Reiss, the Princess of Paradise. She overcame many obstacles throughout her history, leading her to become a remarkable queen. Here are 10 memorable quotes from the great Historia Reiss:

10. “I’m so glad the worst didn’t happen.”
When Jean, Reiner and Armin met the Female Titan, Jean’s horse rode away from them. Having only one horse, the three were perplexed and feared that one of them would have to be abandoned. Fortunately, Jean’s horse found Krista.
After seeing their rocket, she was able to save them. After Reiner thanked and complimented her, she spoke these words, eliciting even deeper feelings for her from her comrades.
9. “She was so good to me. How could I ever forget her?”
For most of her life, Historia didn’t know she had a sister. Frieda Reiss possessed the power of the Original Titan and was able to control all Eldian memories, including those of her sister. When Historia was young, Frieda would visit her on the farm where she’d grown up and read books to her.
However, every time Frieda returned to the kingdom, she erased Historia’s memories. It was only by touching Eren, the current heir to the Original Titan, that Historia was able to remember Frieda.
8. “This can’t be true. I don’t want it to be.”
No one was closer to Krista than Ymir. The two became very close in the 104th Training Brigade, yet Krista never really knew who Ymir was.
While they were about to die when the Titans attacked the tower they were in, Ymir revealed that she was the heir to the Titan Jaw and used her power to save Krista and their other comrades. At first, Krista wasn’t happy to discover that Ymir was a Titan Shifter, but she soon accepted it.
7. “The next role I have to play is queen? Very well, then. Let me do it.”
The fact that Ymir was a titan wasn’t the only thing Historia didn’t know. Nor did she know that she was a member of the royal family.
She found out when Livai revealed to her and the other members of their team that the family they thought were the royalty of Paradise weren’t actually part of the royal family. Shocked and unsure of her abilities, Livai pressured Historia to embrace her destiny.
6. “I want to grow up to be like you”.
Growing up, Historia had no one to show her love, with the exception of Frieda. Her mother and everyone else she knew mistreated her and only taught her things that were beneficial to them. One of the things Frieda taught Historia was reading.
When talking about the kind of person she wanted Historia to grow up to be, Frieda used an example from one of her books. When Historia expressed her desire to be like her sister, Frieda cried and hugged her tenderly.
5. “I have to say goodbye.”
When Rod proposed that Historia devour Eren so he could use the Original Titan without shortening his own life, she briefly considered helping her father. She longed for his love so that she could finally know a true family. However, when she realized his true intentions, she betrayed him and joined the Exploration Battalion.
On her way to confront the king, Historia announced to Eren that she had intended to devour him, but had changed her mind. Aware that she had to defeat her father, she was ready to bid farewell to her own family.
4. “Did you want to be friends with me?”
After Ymir confronts Krista, revealing that she’s really Historia, she explains that she joined the 104th Training Brigade with the aim of finding her, as they share similarities. Not understanding why similar experiences would prompt Ymir to seek her out, Krista asks him this question.
Ymir denies this and advises her not to conceal her identity or pretend to be someone else, claiming that accepting herself is a form of revenge against those who have hurt her.
3. “I am Historia Reiss, the true ruler of these walls.”
When told not to fight Rod, Historia refused. Given that this was the first and only fight she could have with her father, she wanted the experience. However, she didn’t expect to be the one to kill him.
As a result, the people of Paradise showed her their respect and accepted her as their new leader. Soon after, she ascended the throne and claimed the crown.
2. “I may be the enemy of humanity, but I’m your friend, Eren. I can’t be a good girl and I don’t want to be a God. But when I see someone crying, saying no one needs them, I want to tell them it’s not true.”
Throughout her life, Historia had to play a role that wasn’t her own. Under the name Krista, she strove to be an exemplary daughter, and those around her perceived her as a true goddess. However, she never wished to be locked into these expectations.
When she betrayed Rod and freed Eren from his chains, she assured him that she would always be there for him. This decision, though admirable, would later haunt her.
1. “I don’t care about your reasons or your secrets! Whatever happens, I’m on your side!”
When she agreed that Ymir was the Jaw Titan, Historia believed that Reiner and Bertholdt were forcing her to join them. However, after Ymir explained that she needed his accompaniment in Mahr to have a chance of a better life there, Historia assured him that she would be by his side, come what may. However, Ymir, knowing that this would harm Historia, finally changed his mind and left her in Paradise. If she had joined the person she cared for most, she would have witnessed his devouring and would not have acceded to the throne of Paradise. In the end, Ymir saved Historia.
