To "reward" Ymir for her service, Fritz took her as his concubine and together, they had three children: Maria, Rose, and Sheena. Under his command, she also vanquished the armies of Eldia's rival, Marley. With her newfound power, Ymir returned to serve Fritz and used her Titan to cultivate the land, build bridges, and amass wealth for the Eldians. There, a mysterious spine-like creature fused with her and turned her into the first Titan. Seeking shelter, she stepped inside and, not knowing of the sinkhole beneath, fell down into a pool of liquid. Wounded and desperate, Ymir found an unusually large tree with a chasm at its base.

Even in death, her soul remained blindly obedient to the Eldian royal family, creating Titans by hand for about 2,000 years in the unknown land surrounding the Coordinate. Ymir even went so far as to sacrifice her own life for his. She submitted to the Eldian king in life, building him his empire, brutally destroying his enemies, and bearing his children as he commanded. In reality, she was a slave with no will of her own.
