Historia Reiss, originally known as Krista Lenz, is a major character in the Attack on Titan franchise. She was an supporting character in the first half, but she later became an important character in the series, even becoming one of the two main protagonists (alongside Levi Ackerman) of the Royal Government arc, which follows her background and development.
Initially introduced as just a kind girl, who likes to help others, she is eventually revealed to be the illegitimate daughter of Rod Reiss, ruler of the humanity within the walls, making her the last remaining member of the Reiss royal family. She was also the best friend and love interest of Ymir.
She is voiced by Shiori Mikami in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Bryn Apprill in the English version of the anime.
