How Tall Is Levi Ackerman in real?
Levi was severely malnourished when he was young. That, along with his mother’s sickness and the complete lack of sunlight, may explain a lot about his short stature.
Levi lived in an underground city, where there was no sunlight. Since sunlight converts a natural chemical in our skin into vitamin D, it wouldn’t be surprising if Levi Ackermann were severely deficient in vitamin D. This could have stunted his growth and interfered with his bone development.
Furthermore, Levi Ackermann also suffers from insomnia. He doesn’t consider sleep an event, and he doesn’t care much about the 8-hour sleep rule. And as we all know, growth hormone needs adequate rest to take full effect. Therefore, Levi Ackermann is quite short, specifically 1.57 m (5 feet 2 inches).
Appearance
He has frequently been seen wearing the standard military uniform, which on expeditions is underneath the green Scout Corps cloak. When he was forced to take rest due to his ankle injury, he was dressed in a black suit and tie [5] . He particularly wears a casual outfit consisting of a green shirt and blue jeans. [6]
He lost his right eye and three fingers on his left hand after receiving a point-blank explosion caused by Zeke Jaeger with a Lightning Spear , with which he also left a scar that runs from his chin to his forehead on the right side of his face. .
In the epilogue of the story, three years after the Rumble , Levi wears a formal suit with leather shoes and uses a wheelchair due to being paralyzed after the fight against Eren .
Personality
Levi is a serious person, with a firm character and clear ideas. He has great respect for discipline and is a conscript with enormous potential to be a leader, as his orders are always clear and precise, with no one daring to question his authority. His seriousness and coldness convey that kind of respect, especially this first factor, being someone of few words and who very rarely expresses his feelings. He knows perfectly well the responsibility that comes with managing a group of soldiers, and that depending on how his orders are, he can lead those soldiers to certain death.
His expression varies between seriousness and neutrality, being very unusual to see him smile. However, that’s not to say you don’t feel anything. It is true that he is not the most emotional person on the planet, but that does not justify the fact that he is not sensitive or empathetic. He cares about his comrades and those people in whom he has placed his trust. He tries to do everything possible to protect them and always thinks through his actions, trying to do as little damage as possible. However, being a leader, he shouldn’t openly show those feelings and hence he hides everything behind a serious and somewhat distant expression.
He does not let himself be flattered by words, since he prefers to be guided by actions than by false promises. He is somewhat suspicious of people he doesn’t know, but once those people earn his trust, they become someone he holds in high esteem, even though he is not someone who flatters with words.
He is small in size, but despite this, he shows the mind and maturity of an adult, as well as the cunning of a soldier who has been through all kinds of hardships. It is easy to make him angry, but very difficult to make him angry enough to lose his temper. He has just the right amount of patience and always seems to have a word for every situation.
He tends to get annoyed by non-serious things, such as boos from a crowd, voices that are too loud, and especially actions committed in an imprudent manner. With these types of people he has very little patience and tends to ignore them or give them warning looks to correct their attitude.
He is quite a perfectionist and has an unhealthy obsession with order and cleanliness, being called a “clean freak” by Hange Zoë .
Skills
Three Dimensional Maneuvering Equipment
Levi is a genius at using the Three Dimensional Maneuvers . Many civilians have commented that he is as powerful as 100 soldiers put together. Unlike the other soldiers, he uses his two sabers in a different way than the traditional one, the one on the left points up and the one on the right points down, forming a complete circle that is positioned diagonally, which when propelled with the gas and spin, allows you to land multiple effective slashes at your target at high speed. His ability is such that he was able to effortlessly disable Annie Leonhart in her Titan form (a 14 meter Titan).
Intelligence
In addition to his great skills with the Three-Dimensional Maneuvering Team, he is considered a genius; someone who knows how to make decisions under pressure and not panic, capable of analyzing the situation and finding a solution that has saved him and his colleagues from danger on several occasions. He also boasts a strong and strong mental capacity.
Physical
Despite his short stature, Levi stands out for his extraordinary physical strength and great skill in hand-to-hand combat.
He has often used it to get what he wants through torture, an example of which was the torture of Djel Sanes, where he was able to knock out a few of his teeth with one blow, [7] or the beating he gave an officer of the Central Military Police, because with a kick he was able to break his jaw.

Relations
Eren jaeger
Levi inspires great respect for his part in Eren. At first, Levi treated him like she was scum, due to his titan power. Getting to know him a little better, Levi began to treat Eren like most others do: respectfully and coolly. However, Levi also becomes a mentor and mentor to Eren, understanding the young man’s great potential and what he is capable of, Levi offers advice in Eren’s moments of doubt. From now on he sees it as a door of freedom for humanity.
hange zoë
Levi met Hange during his first expedition as part of the Survey Corps. Levi didn’t immediately hit it off with Hange upon meeting her, but her relationship improved over the years. By the events of the story, Levi and Hange are on better terms, though Levi is annoyed with her for her obsession with capturing Titans, and he doesn’t like her recklessness. Levi is becoming more familiar with Hange, he is able to berate her when she gets carried away with it. After years of working side by side, the two share a strong bond of trust, and Levi doesn’t doubt any theories he might have about the Titans, even though he may not like knowing about them himself.
Mikasa Ackerman
Mikasa held a grudge against Levi for the way he treated Eren in the trial, however their relationship turned around when Levi helps save Eren when he is captured by the Female Titan . Levi expresses understanding towards her.
Erwin Smith
In their meeting, their relationship was not initially friendly, after being captured and blackmailed by Erwin to join the Survey Corps , Levi wanted to assassinate him as he held a grudge against him, but later chose to put his revenge aside. Eventually, Levi became one of the few people he would trust. Before the battle to retake Shiganshina, Erwin gave Levi the scalpel containing the Titan Serum, trusting that when the time came, he would make the right decision. At the climax of the battle of Shiganshina, Levi convinced Erwin to sacrifice himself to ensure victory and in the middle of their conversation Levi promised Erwin that he would kill the Beast Titan.. Despite being victorious, Levi was frustrated and upset that he couldn’t keep his promise to Erwin and when he had to choose who to revive with the serum he decided to let his Commander rest in peace.
Four years later, Levi shows that he has not forgotten his promise to Erwin and shows his intention to kill Zeke Jaeger . During the battle against Eren in the Rumble, Levi killed Zeke after he “revived” by leaving the Roads , finally being able to fulfill his promise to Erwin.
Kenny Ackermann
Kenny was Levi’s uncle, after Kuchel ‘s death , the man took the boy in and taught him to defend himself against the dangers that abounded in the underground city . Ackerman later abandoned his nephew before he joined the Survey Corps. Kenny has stated that Levi is the “pride of him” of him, despite the fact that they both grew to hate each other.
Zeke Jaeger
As the leader of the Warriors unit , Zeke is perhaps Levi’s greatest enemy. During the Battle in Shiganshina District Levi seriously injured Zeke and Zeke subsequently ordered his Titans to kill the captain. The warrior chief expressed his surprise and fear to see that Levi had not only killed the titans but also managed to follow him to his location, so he decided to flee the place rather than face him again. Four years later, the two establish a truce as part of an alliance between the rebels led by Zeke and the Survey Corps, although this does not mean that their hatred for each other has disappeared, as Levi has shown that he still mistrusts Zeke’s intentions. While keeping an eye on him, Zeke using his power transformed everyone who drank a specific wine into Titans. After a second confrontation Levi defeats him, leaving him seriously injured and took him hostage, in addition to implanting a Cast Lightning to prevent it from moving. However, Zeke activated the Spear and caused an explosion where Levi was severely injured, and Zeke was left near death but survived.
During the confrontation in the Rumble, after Zeke managed to get out of the Roads, Levi without hesitation decapitated him, killing him instantly.
