HitchAnnie

HitchAni is the femslash ship between Hitch Dreyse and Annie Leonhart from the Attack on Titan fandom.

Canon
Hitch and Annie were both members of the Military Police. As roommates, assigned to the same squad in Stohess District, the two were opposites of each other in many ways. Annie being a calm, serious, and intelligent girl, and Hitch being an immature, outgoing, and sarcastic girl. These opposite personalities were the reason why they were not particularly close.

Hitch found Annie to be irritating at some times due to her antisocial and serious persona, often teasing Annie in an effort to see the girl have some kind of reaction, which Annie would respond with sarcasm and no emotion. Despite their awkward relationship, Hitch still cared about Annie. After Annie's disappearance during the fight in the Stohess District, Hitch felt anger and irritation towards the Survey Corps. She blamed them for losing their only chance to really get to know Annie as a person, as she believed that Annie had died in the conflict. But then Hitch was livid and startled after learning that Annie was the Female Titan responsible for all of the destruction in Wall Sheena, afterward questioning her repeatedly about how her wrongs made her feel.

Hitch was later assigned to guard Annie's crystal and was most of the time the only one to actually speak to her, implying that she was still somewhat fond. Hitch was the first person to find Annie upon her escape from the crystal she was in. After she accepts Annie's request to take her to Shiganshina, Annie strangely opens up to Hitch about her harsh past and feelings regarding the things that she had done. Hitch thanked Annie for sharing all that she did with her. In the following days, Annie leaves Hitch a note, in which she thanks her for keeping her company during her lonely isolation in her crystal.

Junior High Manga
In the Junior High Manga, Hitch and Annie are both fellow Student Council members, and good friends. Hitch, in chapter 37, competes with Krista to see who can spend more time with Annie. Hitch forms a plan, and when they go to the planetarium, Hitch grabs Annie by the chin, and tells her that she'll make her weak in the knees. When Annie notes that she sees a shooting star, before Hitch takes Annie's hand and says that she shines brighter than any star, although Annie tells her to keep quiet and keep her hands in her pocket. When they go to see the farm, Annie and Krista milk cows together, and have fun. Hitch sulks because she lost, and starts yelling at Annie, calling her an idiot and running away. Krista and Ymir talk about how she went all "yuri manga jealous" on Krista. Annie, worried, goes to see Hitch and is willing to take her to a cat café, and Annie promises not to tell anyone.

Quotes
"Dear Hitch.. Sorry for all the trouble. I'm going now. I happened to meet Armin and Connie, so I decided to join them. Thanks for talking to me these four years. Goodbye. Sincerely, your gloomy roomate"

- Annie's letter to Hitch, Chapter 126

Fanon
The majority of shippers in the Attack on Titan fandom ship the rival ships of this one AruAni and HitLowe, which are very popular for both characters. This ship still has a good amount of shippers though, due to the two’s close relationship and the fact that they are both best friends. This ship is also very popular due to the fact that they are both one of the only people they have left. Some fans of the ship headcanon Hitch as lesbian with a crush on Annie, mostly because of their canon dynamic in the Junior High manga. The ship currently has 139+ works in AO3.
