<p>In <em>Attack on Titan</em> season 1 episode 23, Armin requested for help from Annie, and she accepted it.</p>

<p>She knew from the beginning that it was a trap, that's why she put on the ring. She put on the ring after acceptance, which means she felt that "request" is suspicious &amp; when she got caught, she used that ring to transform. She expected that something bad is going to happen. On the other hand, it's hard to believe that she accepted to be a "Good Person", it doesn't make sense. </p>

<p>Why did Annie accept Armin's request for help despite knowing it was a trap? </p>

I would guess that she didn't know it was a trap, but rather tends to be prepared. And if she didn't, her cover would have probably blown away instantly.
