Character Name: Levi Ackerman
Canon: Attack on Titan
Canon History: Wiki!
Canon Personality:

• Loyal: Supposedly, the Ackerman bloodline predisposes one to forming a strong bond with one (and only one) other person, sometimes referred to as a 'liege'. Though largely unbeknownst to the three Ackerman characters with significant screen time, the pattern shows an intensely protective instinct and an unrivaled sense of loyalty towards this one person. At the end of the No Regrets prequel series (which chronicles his journey from underground thug to indispensable soldier), Levi decides to follow the now-commander of the Survey Corps, Erwin Smith. It's an abrupt shift after spending the whole rest of the prequel wanting to kill him, but by the time the main series begins six years later, Levi has clearly become Erwin's right hand man—his closest friend and his most-trusted advisor. Put simply, Levi would (and does) do anything Erwin asks of him. Though Erwin obviously outranks him, it's not out of a sense of obligation; as humanity's so-called strongest soldier, he could easily have chosen not to do any of these things or to follow Erwin's every order, but because he's decided to trust Erwin implicitly, he always does as he's asked. It's a mutual trust, and Erwin views Levi as more of an equal than a subordinate, but Levi still always functions under the assumption that Erwin knows best. He values Erwin's life more than anyone else's, including his own. It would not be an overstatement to say that Erwin is the center of his world.
  
• Neurotic: "Fastidious" would be the nice way of saying it. Levi is the definition of a clean freak—it's something he's notorious for, and any soldier who's worked under him for more than an hour knows they're going to be doing a lot of cleaning, even if that's not really a part of the mission at hand. He has basically zero tolerance for a dirty environment and an aversion to blood—even titan blood, which evaporates on its own after a short time. This may be a result of growing up in the (filthy) slums underground and losing his mother to an illness, but it's also worth noting that he is able to set this neurosis aside when the situation is dire enough to call for it.
  
• Crass: Looking for someone who has a way with words? Better look elsewhere. Truly, the only dirty thing about Levi is his mouth. He has a fairly rude way of speaking and no qualms about cursing whatsoever. Worst of all, his idea of humor is rooted primarily in... well, the toilet. Poop jokes are his go-to, unfortunately for everyone around him. And it's no coincidence that Kenny, the sociopath (and uncle, it turns out) who took Levi in after his mother died, spoke the very same way. Levi's potty mouth is the result of being partially raised by someone who really, really isn't good with kids.
  
• Warmhearted: This one's a little bit harder to see. It's often hidden under layers and layers of blunt language, an unapproachable demeanor, and a tendency to solve ("solve") most of his problems with violence. It's true that Levi comes off as cold and standoffish, but believe it or not, there's a heart of gold down in there somewhere. According to Erwin, no one cares as much about their comrades' lives as Levi does. Every loss hits him hard, even if he rarely lets it show. He may not be the best leader (a series guidebook gave him a teamwork score of 2/10), but his squad never has to second-guess whether their captain has their best interests at heart, and more than once he's been shown giving them an order to simply stay alive. Even if it's less about sweeping displays of good will and more about small gestures of warmth, anyone who thinks he's just an asshole is deeply mistaken.
  
• Strong: Levi's strength goes far beyond being humanity's strongest soldier. While that kind of strength is obvious to anyone who's ever seen him in action, there's a more hidden kind as well—an inner strength that has kept him going through tragedy after tragedy, from one heartbreak to the next. It would take far more than the word limit allows to list them all, but he's spent his entire life watching every person he's ever cared about die, and yet he somehow finds the strength to keep going every time without losing sight of who he really is and what he believes in. This strength has kept him alive just as much as the physical kind.

AU History:

• in contrast to his canon status as humanity's strongest soldier, in Kaisou he's Just Some Dude - he works security at the university and then goes home and plays video games
  
• he went to high school here but was pretty withdrawn and standoffish, though he did do well playing soccer because he's small and quick. unfortunately he suffered a nasty injury during a game and was thus banished to a sedentary lifestyle (this is where the video games come in)
  
• he lives alone with a very ornery cat, but can be found frequently running errands for his grandmother, who's his last living relative because his life still kinda sucks here

AU Personality Differences: The major difference between this Levi and his predecessor is that this Levi's life isn't drenched in death and despair. The result of that is that his world view (and thus his general attitude) is not quite as bleak, and you may even see him crack a small smile every once in awhile. While still quite responsible, he's not as strict with rules and structure as the original, because he hasn't seen the horrible things that can (and have) happened when they aren't abided by. In general, his personality isn't as severe, but he's still far from being someone others would call "friendly" or "sociable."
