Hannes - It was implied that Mikasa was grateful towards Hannes for rescuing her and Eren from being killed by the Titan that ate Eren's mother. Despite admitting to his cowardice in front of her, she did not resent him for failing to rescue Carla, [14] and she valued him as one of the few people left with whom she shared memories of more peaceful times.

Overall, the ring serves as a visual representation of Annie's dual identity as both a member of the Military Police Brigade and a highly capable fighter, who is always ready to defend herself if needed. Hajime Isayama based Mikasa's physical design off of a woman he met while working a part-time job before starting his manga career. Specifically, he claims to have gotten the ideas for Mikasa's scarf, hairstyle, eyes and eyebrows from the woman. He has also noted that he originally intended for Mikasa to be a Westerner like the rest of the series' cast and only decided to make her part-Asian after seeing the woman.

Eren Jaeger - Mikasa considers Eren to be her "family," since she was taken into his home following the death of her parents. She always wears a scarf, given to her by Eren, as a token of the moment when he first wrapped it around her in an attempt to comfort her when she had first lost all hope. From the time he saved her life and accepted her into his home, Eren has been a great source of strength and comfort for her, and when she had thought him dead, she very nearly allowed herself to die as well, but kept living on to remember him. She became distraught when learning Eren had been abducted, wrapping the scarf over her face to hide her sadness. [10] Because he is the only "family" she has left, she will go to any lengths to ensure his safety, and vows to follow him wherever he may go, stating her only wish is to remain by his side; this often results in Eren becoming annoyed whenever she becomes too protective, and telling her not to treat him like her "little brother." [21] Due to the intensity of her devotion to him, several people, from Ian to Jean and even Levi, are confused about the nature of their relationship. Interestingly, Mikasa only ever blushes when Eren is involved. Examples of this include her embarrassed blush when Ian mistook him for her lover during the reconquest of Trost, [9] and Armin leaving her alone with Eren after capturing the Female Titan. [31] When she believed that she and Eren were about to be killed by the Smiling Titan, she thanked him for everything he has done for her all this time. [36]Marcel Galliard - Though the two of them were never shown interacting with one another, as a fellow Warrior candidate and a comrade chosen for the Paradis mission, it can be assumed she shared some sense of camaraderie with him. After he was eaten by Ymir, Annie grieved the loss of the team's leader and beat Reiner, blaming him for Marcel's death. [9] Annie is considered to be an isolated, exclusionary type; friendships do not come to her easily. She is rarely seen smiling and often has an emotionless expression. She is apathetic and somnolent, with little desire to put in any effort into meaningless disciplines or activities, and instead focuses exclusively on making it into the Military Police Regiment to obtain an easy life. [8] Yet, she somehow does seem to hold a strange fascination and even feelings of respect towards people that have a deep sense of duty and righteousness - in those people who do care and who can devote their lives and even die for causes they believe in. In a separate room, Mikasa sits with Gabi and Armin; when asked by Gabi why she saved her, Mikasa does not give any reason why when Eren unexpectedly appears. Before they can say anything, Eren silently holds up his right hand which is bleeding. Understanding Eren's intent if they do not comply, Mikasa and Armin obey his request to sit down at the table. [67] Eren claims that he is free but Mikasa argues that he is being controlled by Zeke.
