After transforming into a Pure Titan, Connie’s Pure Titan grows tall enough to reach and attack the Armored Titan’s head. It lacks proper flesh on its cheekbones, exposing its teeth. Indeed, it lacks an upper lip or skin above it, exposing its gums up to its nose. It otherwise retains most of its human features.
Personality
Connie can be best described as outgoing and impetuous. He has an easy time expressing his opinions, and enjoys flaunting his skills, especially during his days as a trainee. Despite being in the military, Connie starts off as rather unfocused, and enjoys goofing around and messing with his friends, but can also be a bit dense at times.
Later, Connie’s naive enthusiasm falls away after multiple close encounters with the Titans. He never becomes more serious, though to his frustration, he still has some difficulty comprehending new developments as they appear. Connie also comes to terms with his own limits, disliking his lack of power, but eager to prove his worth. For a long time, Connie remained optimistic, consistently caring for the well-being of his friends, family and village, and being willing to help in any way he can.
