Fanon
Considering the identity of Levi's biological father is unknown, fans mostly see Kenny as Levi's father figure. Modern AU fan works usually depict the situation, in which Kenny decides to be Levi's guardian and help him grow up. Other works include Kuchel, Levi's mother, who stays alive, and Kenny supports his sister and nephew. The majority of artists and writers interpret Levi and Kenny's relationship as somewhat hostile, while still allowing them to begrudgingly express their familial love and support, when the other one needs it the most. When the two argue in fan fiction, Kuchel usually acts as a mediator to resolve any conflict. Other works sometimes feature Mikasa Ackerman and her parents, who are Kenny and Levi's distant relatives through Mikasa's father.
