What Was With Yelena's Face In Attack On Titan?
In Attack on Titan season 4's «Sneak Attack,» why does Yelena's face suddenly look like a Disney forest witch who smelled something rotten? She may not be among Attack on Titan's big-game players, but Yelena has made a pivotal contribution to the fates of Eldia and Marley nonetheless. Originally a soldier serving the Marleyan army, Yelena came to idolize Zeke Jaeger. Leading a band of similarly-minded Zekealots, Yelena executes the Beast Titan's will from the shadows, making contact with his younger half-brother, Eren, between Attack on Titan seasons 3 and 4.
In Attack on Titan season 4's second half, Yelena is helping the Jaegerists bring Eren and Zeke together to complete the so-called «euthanization» plan, but the fulfillment of her dream is interrupted by a surprise invasion from Marley. Extreme circumstances call for a temporary truce between the Jaegerists and the Paradis Island military they recently overthrew, leading Armin to declare, "We don't have much choice… we've gotta help the Jaegerists bring them [Zeke and Eren] together." As these words are uttered, Yelena creeps up directly behind Armin, looming over his small frame. Yelena's face can only be described as the stuff of nightmares — a potent blend of rage and insanity. The kind of expression a child might make toward a younger sibling who just caved to their parents' questioning and revealed who ate the cookies.
