Eren inherited his looks from his mother, while his eyes are various colors depending on the work. The original work had his eyes as golden yellow while the anime shows them as emerald green.
The anime also gives him thicker eyebrows.
His personality is blunt and reckless. Eren has a great sense of justice. He shows a great desire to kill and possesses violent behavior, starting when he was 10 years old. When his friend Armin would get bullied, Eren and Mikasa would stand up for him.
Since he has such low tolerance, whenever Eren lies his ears would turn red in the animation.
At first glance, he appears to be hard-headed and impulsive, but with the strength of his will, he has the spirit which would help him toss away pride to combat adversary. He is trying to attune himself to other people’s emotions to better himself as a leader.
On the other hand, even though he has genuine sense of justice, he carries a lack of patience which have blindly led him to near-death situations. It was so bad that Levi has called Eren “The Unstoppable.” When Eren was 9 years old, even though Mikasa was unknown to him, he had killed the two of her three kidnappers in an effort to save her.
After Eren had discovered he could transform into a titan, he gained an awesome ability to heal himself at superhuman speeds. If he were to get injured while in human form, even as far as losing limbs, he can regain those lost limbs once he transforms into a titan. There are times where his healing ability is so great that he can even heal people without needing to become a titan, but the ability is unstable as it does not seem to work each time.
History
Eren spent his youth living near the southern entrance of Wall Maria in the Shiganshina District. He lived with his father, who is a doctor, and his mother along with Mikasa, who had lost both her parents. Ever since Armin had told Eren of the outside world, he has had dreams of exploring outside the city walls. For the sake of traveling outside the walls, Eren aimed to join the only group allowed outsidet: the Scouting Legion.
Etymology
