The royal family always played an important role in Attack On Titan. One of the characters introduced early in the manga was Krista Lenz. Like Eren and Armin, she was a member of the 104th Cadet Corps and joined the Survey Corps. Though the story didn't revolve around her for a long time, she ended up being just as vital as them.

Fans were shocked when they found out that Krista was actually Historia Reiss, the princess of Paradis. She overcame a lot of obstacles in her story, which led her to become a great queen. Throughout her tragic life, Historia has had some great quotes that readers love just as much as the Eldians love her.

10 "I'm So Happy That The Worst Didn't Happen."

Historia

When Jean, Reiner, and Armin encountered the Female Titan, Jean's horse separated from them. Only having one horse, the three didn't know what to do and feared that one of them would have to be abandoned. Luckily, Jean's horse found Krista.

After seeing their flare, she was able to save them. After Reiner thanked and complimented her, she said these words, causing her comrades to gain even deeper feelings for her.

9 "She Was So Kind To Me. How Could I Have Forgotten Her?"

Frieda Reiss in Attack on Titan.

For the majority of her life, Historia didn't know that she had a sister. Frieda Reiss possessed the power of the Founding Titan and was able to control all of the Eldians' memories, including her sister's. When Historia was young, Frieda would visit her on the farm she grew up in and read her books.

However, each time Frieda returned to the kingdom, she erased Historia's memories of her. It was until she and Rod touched Eren, the current inheritor of the Founding Titan, that she was able to remember Frieda.

8 "It Can't Be True. I Don't Want It To Be."

Ymir and Historia against each other

Nobody was closer to Krista than Ymir. The two became very close in the 104th Cadet Corps yet Krista never really knew who Ymir was.

When they were about to fall to their deaths as the titans attacked the tower they were on top of, Ymir revealed that she was the inheritor of the Jaw Titan and used her ability to save Krista and their other comrades. At first, Krista wasn't happy that Ymir was a titan shifter but would soon accept her.

7 "The Next Role I Have To Play Is Queen? Fine. Leave It To Me."

Historia punching Levi and challenging him to punch back.

Ymir being a titan wasn't the only thing that Historia was unaware of. She also didn't know that she was a member of the royal family.

She didn't find out until Levi told her and the other members of his squad that the family they thought ruled Paradis wasn't actually of royalty. Shocked and uncertain if she would be able to, Levi pressured Historia into becoming who she was destined to be.

6 "I Want To Grow Up To Be Like You."

Rod Reiss _ Attack on Titan

Growing up, Historia didn't have anyone that loved her except for Frieda. Her mother and everyone else that she knew abused her and only taught her things that would benefit them. One of the things that Frieda taught Historia was how to read.

When talking about the type of person Frieda wanted Historia to grow up to be, she used an example in one of her books. When Historia responded that she wanted to be like her sister, Frieda cried and hugged her.

5 "I Have To Say Goodbye."

Rod Reiss Attack on Titan

When Rod wanted Historia to eat Eren so that he could use the Founding Titan without shortening his life, she considered helping her father. She wanted him to love her so that she could finally have a good family. However, after realizing his true intentions, she betrayed him and joined the Survey Corps.

On their way to defeat the king, Historia told Eren that she was going to eat him but that she changed her mind. Knowing that she had to defeat her father, she was ready to say goodbye to her family.

4 "Did You Want To Be Friends With Me?"

Ymir and Historia

After Ymir confronted Krista about being Historia, she says that she became a member of the 104th Cadet Corps in order to find her because they are alike. Confused about why having similar experiences would cause Ymir to want to find her, she asks her this question.

Ymir denies this and tells her that she shouldn't hide her name nor pretend to be someone she isn't and that embracing herself is a way of getting revenge against those that hurt her.

3 "I Am Historia Reiss, The True Ruler Of These Walls."

Rod Reiss Syringe Attack on Titan

Historia refused when she was told to not fight against Rod. Being the first and only fight she could ever have with her father, she intended to have the experience. However, she did not expect to be the one that actually killed him.

As a result, the people of Paradis respected her and accepted that she was their new ruler. Not long after, she would take the throne and claim the crown.

2 "I May Be Humanity's Enemy 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."

Eren cries and begs Historia to eat him AOT

Throughout her life, Historia had to pretend to be things she wasn't. As Krista, she tried to be a good girl and those around her saw her as a goddess. However, she never wanted to be considered as either.

When she betrayed Rod, she freed Eren from the chains he was trapped in, letting him know that she would always be there for him, a decision that would later haunt her.

1 "I Don't Care About Your Reasons Or Your Secrets! No Matter What Happens, I'm On Your Side!"

Historia and Ymir in Attack On Titan.

When she accepted that Ymir was the Jaw Titan, she believed that Reiner and Bertholdt were forcing her to join them. However, after Ymir explained that she needs Historia to go to Marley with her so that she could have a chance of living a better life there, Historia told her that she would be on her side no matter what. Knowing that this would hurt Historia, Ymir changed her mind later on and left her in Paradis. If she had joined the person she cared about most, she would have seen her be eaten and wouldn't have become the ruler of Paradis. In the end, Ymir saved Historia.
