Man, the Reiss family drama hits hard. Frieda was Historia's half-sister, but their connection goes way deeper than blood. See, Frieda was the last person to hold the Founding Titan before Eren's dad stole it, and that power came with messed-up mind-wiping abilities. So even though Frieda seemed sweet to Historia during those secret visits, she couldn't actually break free from the Reiss family's brainwashing to help her little sis. It's wild how Historia only learned the truth about Frieda after Rod Reiss started manipulating her—like, imagine finding out your cherished childhood memories were orchestrated by your own messed-up family.
What gets me is how Historia's whole 'Krista' persona was low-key inspired by Frieda's kindness. She built this fake identity to honor the sister she barely knew, which makes their relationship tragically poetic. The series never lets them have a proper reunion, not even in flashbacks, and that absence speaks volumes. Sometimes I wonder how different things might've been if Frieda had lived—would they have teamed up against their father? Would Historia still have become queen? So many possibilities left hanging.
Frieda and Historia's relationship is this beautiful, tragic footnote in 'Attack on Titan.' They shared a father—Rod Reiss—but Frieda was born into privilege as the designated heir, while Historia was hidden away as a bastard child. What kills me is how their few interactions were so tender: Frieda sneaking out to read stories to young Historia, calling her by her real name when no one else would. But here's the gut punch—those moments were all Historia had before Frieda was murdered, leaving her alone again. Their story feels like a shattered mirror, reflecting how the Reiss family's cruelty fractured even the simplest bonds. I always tear up remembering how Historia clung to those fleeting memories of Frieda's warmth, even while the world burned around her.
Frieda Reiss and Historia share one of those complex, tragic family ties that make 'Attack on Titan' so gripping. Frieda was Historia's older half-sister, though they grew up under wildly different circumstances. While Historia was raised as an orphan on a farm, Frieda lived as the Reiss family's prized heir, groomed to inherit the Founding Titan. Their relationship is heartbreaking because Frieda genuinely cared for Historia—she even visited her secretly, playing the role of a kind 'big sister' figure. But the curse of the Reiss bloodline meant Frieda's memories were manipulated by the Founding Titan's power, leaving her unable to truly protect Historia from their family's dark legacy.
The irony is that Frieda's death—killed by Grisha Yeager—indirectly shaped Historia's entire arc. Without Frieda's demise, Historia might never have been pulled into the royal succession drama. Their bond is this quiet, unresolved thread in the story: two sisters separated by fate, one doomed by duty, the other forced to pick up the pieces. It's one of those 'what could've been' relationships that haunts me long after finishing the series.

Frieda Reiss is this fascinating, tragic figure in 'Attack on Titan' who doesn’t get enough spotlight, honestly. She’s Historia’s older half-sister and the true heir to the Reiss family, which means she inherited the Founding Titan’s power before Historia did. What’s wild is that Frieda was supposed to be this gentle, kind person—Historia’s memories paint her as almost saintly—but the power of the Titans twisted her. The Founding Titan’s influence, especially under the control of the First King’s ideology, made her passive and resigned to the idea of Eldia’s destruction. It’s heartbreaking because she genuinely cared for Historia but couldn’t act against the King’s will.
Her death is one of those pivotal, understated moments in the story. Grisha Yeager kills her to steal the Founding Titan, which sets off the entire conflict with Eren later. The irony is that Frieda, despite her power, was never truly free. She’s a great example of how 'Attack on Titan' explores the weight of legacy and how even the strongest can be shackled by history. I wish we got more flashbacks of her—she’s such a ghostly presence in Historia’s arc, lingering in the background of everything.
