They still get flack from snobby military officials and are very much despited by the nations they invaded, but as far as Eldians go, they are some of the only ones that the population actively likes. They consequently get treated a bit better, seem to have a good salary (Reiner was able to buy tons of food for the kids at the fair), and even strike up friendships with people like Magath or the Panzer Squad.

Added DiffLines:
* TheAce: Gabi Braun is top her class in the Warrior Program. She's clever, fast, strong and an expert marksman.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She makes an appearance during the credit sequence of the final episode of Season 3.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:Gabi, like the rest of the Eldians at Fort Salta, is forcibly turned into a Titan in the series penultimate chapter in order to serve as an army for the source of all organic matter to distract the Warriors so it can reconnect with Eren. [[BackFromTheDead Fortunately after Eren's death she becomes human again]].]]
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: She is hit by one repeatedly [[spoiler: when she's with an Eldian "devil" on Paradis.]]
--> "What did my mother do to deserve being eaten alive?!"
* AsYouKnow: When her father asked Reiner about his mission on Paradis Island during their celebratory dinner, Gabi reminds him that any information pertaining to that mission was strictly classified.
* TheAtoner: She insists she is ready to face the consequences for having killed Sasha so long as no harm comes to Falco who had protected her from Nikolo, and is genuinely confused as to why Armin and Mikasa haven't killed her. Later she feels guilty for Falco's current state due to trying to protect her before and resolves to go and save him.
** During Marley's attack on Shiganshina, Gabi finally understands the reality of the war unfolding around her, and that the people she villified and killed with such glee were just ordinary people, not the "devils" she believed them to be. It is after overhearing Kaya's refusal to ever forgive Gabi for killing Sasha that forces her to come to terms with her crimes, and she openly regrets having dragged Falco into this situation. Determined to save his life, she decides the real fight is with Zeke and Eren, even without knowing the full extent of their true intentions.
* AwfulTruth:
** If she becomes the next Armored Titan and receives Reiner's memories of what actually transpired on Paradis Island.
** She found out that the person she idolized, Zeke, is actually a turncoat, which hits her pretty hard and she refuses to accept it.
** Upon being taken into [[spoiler:the Braus household]], she starts realizing that the Marleyan rhetoric against the Eldians is full of logical fallacies, and that they may have waged a war against [[SinsOfOurFathers innocent people that had nothing to do with the "sins" of their ancestors]].
** When Pieck confronts Eren before her while disguised as a Survey Corps soldier, she lays it out to Gabi in blunt terms that the Marley were never going to give the Eldians in Liberio their freedom, and that no matter how much she tries to deny it to herself Gabi will never be anything more than a "Devil" in the eyes of the Marleyans to whom she had sworn loyalty, and that all her efforts to win her rights as an "Honorary Marleyan" have been a lie.
** Gabi overhears Kaya say she will never forgive her for killing Sasha, and would still kill her if they ever met again. Gabi is devastated by this and finally abandons her prejudice towards the people who had spared her life.
* BadassAdorable: Gabi is a small, cute 12-year old girl. She's also the top candidate in Marley's Warrior Unit, and a talented, reckless soldier with ImprobableAimingSkills and combat experience.
* BadassInDistress: She sneaks on to the Survey Corps' airship to take revenge, intending to die a heroic death against the invading "Devils". Instead, Jean takes her prisoner with the airship headed back to Paradis Island.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
** Gabi gleefully states to a wary Reiner that she feels winds of change during the festival; that very evening [[spoiler:Eren rampages through Willy Tybur's rally, killing her friends Udo and Zofia, alongside hundreds of attendees and thus signaling the beginning of the war between Marley and the Paradian Eldians]].
** Gabi sought to kill Eren Yeager in the aforementioned attack and went to great lengths to see it happen, ultimately getting herself captured after having killed Sasha among others in her pursuit of him. Come their first meeting since the battle in Liberio, and not only is she shown to be terrified of what he may be planning, but is quickly taken hostage along with the other members of the Corps who had spared her life.
** Gabi admits to Reiner that part of the reason she wants to inherit the Armored Titan so badly is because she wants to understand what happened to him while he was infiltrating Paradis Island and why he's changed so much. [[spoiler:Once she is captured and brought to Paradis Island, she witnesses firsthand the same anguish Reiner felt when she befriends the Blouse family and is then subsequently outed as the person who killed Sasha. After hearing Kaya wish death upon her for Sasha's murder Gabi breaks down and says that she now finally understands the pain Reiner went through.]]
* {{BFG}}: She picks up [[spoiler: Colt]]'s Anti-Titan rifle, and continues using it to fight. Being a weapon designed to bring down giant monsters, it's ''enormous'' compared to her and she usually ends up being thrown backwards by the recoil.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: She rescues the Braus family from a mindless Titan, using one of the new Anti-Titan rifles to take it down. In the aftermath, Kaya briefly recalls the day she was rescued by Sasha]].
* BigEater: She goes bananas at the Festival, running her cousin Reiner's wallet dry with her friends. In the end, she's so full that Reiner has to drag her.
* BloodKnight: She's very competitive, and seems to enjoy fighting compared to everyone else. Even having just lived through trench warfare doesn't hamper her eagerness to engage in more battles.
* BoomerangBigot: She's an Eldian raised to hate other Eldians, and has bought completely into the legend of the "demons" on the island. She's genuinely confused when Reiner describes the people living within the Walls as "varied". She also hates the people of Paradis with a burning passion especially after many of her friends are killed when Eren attacked the city. Even after finding out the truth from Zeke, she still believes the islanders are devils who cannot be trusted.
** This comes to a head after [[spoiler:her and Falco's escape from prison]] and Falco takes her armband off. She slams him to the ground and screams for him to give it back. When asked as to why she says "I'm a good Eldian! If I don't have that, I'll become the same as the devils on this island!!"
** Brought to another level when she accuses Nikolo, who was in love with Sasha, of being "blinded" and "seduced" by the "devils".
** Finally starts to [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] after Pieck herself tells Gabi that all her efforts to become an "Honorary Marleyan" have been based on a lie, and that she is of a race that the Marleyans will continue to subjugate no matter what she does to win their good graces. Gabi is visibly distraught over this awful truth.
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: The sight of her friends being killed in the chaos leaves her utterly broken, while Colt desperately tries to carry her to safety]].
* BreakTheHaughty: Constantly swears vengeance and vows that the "devils" of Paradis will be wiped out to the last man whether she lives or dies, even as said "devils" are forced to take her captive; the wind is sucked out of her completely when she realizes that it was Zeke who aided the Survey Corps in their assault on Liberio. And if that weren't enough, [[KickTheDog he calls her and Falco "miscalculations" right to their faces]].
** Is hit with this ''yet again'' after she unwisely reveals to Nikolo that she had killed Sasha, who attacks her and Falco in a vicious rage and reveals Gabi's identity to Sasha's own family while holding Falco at knifepoint. When she attempts to defend her actions, she is left at an utter loss when Sasha's father refuses his chance to kill her, and is visibly horrified when Kaya turns on her and tries to stab her, an act prevented only by Mikasa, another soldier she sees as an enemy. Kaya renounces her friendship with Gabi and calls her a murderer in front of the entire crowd. The sight of the Braus family grieving with Kaya is what finally forces her to see what her actions have caused.
** After having boasted of her slaying of Sasha to Nikolo for which she was condemned by Kaya, Gabi is led away by Mikasa and Armin and personally takes responsibility for their friend's death, and offers her life to save Falco's.
** For all her big talk of killing Eren, she ends up very clearly terrified of him when he finally shows up in front of her, [[OhCrap staring in horror at his]] [[ShameIfSomethingHappened bleeding hand]] and doing nothing but watching in silent terror as he brutally [[spoiler: tears down Armin and Mikasa emotionally along with beating the former senseless]]. A few chapters later even, she once again freezes up when confronted by him and points out that she can't seem to move.
** Until now, Gabi has been convinced that if she continued to prove herself to Marley that she'd be considered one of them and one day gain the privileges of living outside the Liberio internment camp. When Pieck confronts Eren, she is the one to tell Gabi that she will always be an Eldian, and that she will forever be subjected to their prejudices along with the rest of their people and can only be free if she fights her own oppressors.
** The final straw however seems to be the simple fact that Kaya will never forgive Gabi for killing Sasha, and openly wishes death to both her and Falco even as her adoptive parents fear for their well-being. Having overheard this, Gabi has finally become disillusioned with the war to which she was once wholly devoted to.
* ChekhovsSkill: Every time she shoots with her ImprobableAimingSkills below, she ''guarantees'' that her targets, usually important characters [[spoiler:Sasha, Eren, the Okapi Titan]] are going to stay down, in pivotal moments of the manga, no less.
* ChildSoldiers: She's already a veteran of trench warfare, but Falco's comment about how long she would live if she became the next Armored Titan indicates she's roughly '''12''' years old.
* CuteAndPsycho: Gabi is a pretty little girl, wide-eyed and brimming with enthusiasm. She also takes pride of her [[BloodKnight lust for combat]] and [[{{Moe}} her looks]].
* CuteButCacophonic: Upon returning home, she begins shouting and cheering at the top of her lungs. While Colt is nursing a monster of a hangover.
* CycleOfRevenge: She's stuck dead-center in this cycle, when Eren attacks Liberio in revenge for Marley's attack on his home. The death of her comrades spurs Gabi to take revenge, killing [[spoiler: Sasha]] in the process and simply furthering the cycle. [[spoiler: Sasha's comrades and family, on the other hand, reject the opportunities to take revenge on Gabi]].
** After managing to escape the cycle after [[spoiler: Sasha's father refuses to kill her and Falco confesses his love for her, Gabi unfortunately slips back into it when Zeke's scream Titanizes Falco and kills Colt. Naturally [[NiceJobBreakingItHero this just makes things worse.]]]]
* DeathSeeker: She fully expects to be killed on Paradis Island, and only wants to ask Zeke why he betrayed them before that happens. However, she states that she does not want Falco to die with her.
* DefiantToTheEnd: She intends to go down fighting, screaming defiance at her captors. [[spoiler: Seeing Zeke cooperating with the enemy immediately shuts her up]].
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Gabi is the main example in the manga used to illustrate the hateful vitriol that has been taught to the Eldians of Liberio against the Eldians of Paradis. As such, Gabi's extreme words and actions greatly affect the people that meet her, more often than not, for the worse.
* DespairEventHorizon: She may have reached this, after realizing that Zeke is in league with the enemy she has fanatically devoted herself to destroying.
** It gets even worse for her when she is exposed as Sasha's killer by Nikolo, a fellow Marleyan, and for her actions Falco is grievously injured and nearly executed right in front of her. Even after Sasha's friends and family, the people she sees as her sworn enemy refuse the opportunity to take revenge on her, Kaya attempts to kill her anyway and Gabi realizes that by killing Sasha, she had betrayed her only friend on the island.
** Immediately after this, Gabi has accepted that she will probably die for her actions and so insists to Mikasa and Armin that she will face the consequences if they spare Falco's life. They refuse to kill her, only for Eren to come in and take the entire group prisoner, during which Gabi can only watch helplessly as he asserts his control over his former allies. Already visibly shaken, she is again brought to tears [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten when Eren reminds her of what she did to his comrade]].
** During her time in Eren's custody, she is clearly haunted by the incident in the restaurant as she recalls the Braus family openly crying over Sasha, and seems to be questioning her perception of the so-called "Devils" while agonizing over this.
** While being rescued by Pieck, it is Pieck who tells Gabi right to her face that the Marley will never see her as a true equal due to her Eldian heritage, and that the Marley would no longer have use for her or the rest of her people with the Titans becoming an obsolete weapon of war. Gabi completely loses the will to fight upon hearing this, apparently beginning to see the truth in these words. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone And then she learns the grave danger she put Falco in at the restaurant...]]
** Gabi realizes she can never earn Kaya's forgiveness for what she did to Sasha, and that the girl who was once willing to protect her in spite of her Marleyan origins now wants her dead. Gabi finally understands the senselessness of her actions and nearly cries upon hearing Kaya's words.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Gabi, Falco and Reiner are the MainCharacters of the arc that began from Chapter 91 of the manga, but Eren is still a big deal.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint:
** Triple-fold. When they return to Liberio, she assumes that Falco is staring at her because he's jealous of her achievements and the attention she's getting; their comrades assume that it's because of Falco's crush on her and tell her so; Falco covers his ass by agreeing with them because he wasn't staring at Gabi, but rather at Reiner at her side because he's suspicious of Reiner's treasonous pleas to him while they were partying on the train. This is, of course, completely lost on Gabi, who in turn thinks that Falco is mad at her for being too loud.
** Gabi berates Falco on what she perceives are futile efforts from him in the pursuit of obtaining the Armored Titan, especially considering that Falco's family is in the safe now that it's known that Colt will inherit the Beast Titan, making it unnecessary for Falco to become a Warrior too. Falco angrily retorts that [[PuppyLove he's doing it for her]]. Udo, Zofia and the Marleyan guards immediately catch his drift; Gabi? Not quite.
* DramaticIrony:
** Having been praised for her actions in service of Marley eager to further prove herself as a Warrior candidate, Gabi sees her killing of Marley's enemies, including the Eldians of Paradis as a glorious cause and at first thought nothing of having slain Sasha prior to her capture at Liberio. When she and Falco finally encounter one of the captured Marleyans living among the islanders, Gabi brags of her actions to him and expects to be praised for it. Instead the soldier Nikolo, who was in love with Sasha attacks her and Falco and exposes her true identity to Sasha's friends and family, triggering a violent confrontation in which Nikolo gives them the chance to kill her themselves. For this, they instead show Gabi mercy even as they openly mourn for Sasha right before her, and for the first time Gabi is forced to see that there is no glory in what she has been part of. She's out of the echo chamber, and what she's hearing now is not cookie-cutter perfect as before.
** Further amplified by the fact that Kaya, Sasha's own adopted sister had taken her and Falco in knowing full well they were Marleyan, but not yet aware of what Gabi had done to Sasha, whom she discusses in great detail with the two. Gabi does not connect the dots until the aforementioned confrontation with Nikolo, and for this she is nearly killed by Kaya when the truth comes out. Until now Gabi had stayed true to her conviction that the islanders were inherently evil, and it's only because of Kaya's unconditional kindness towards the two that Gabi had reluctantly accepted the care given to her by anyone in the Braus home. When Kaya finally ''does'' attack her, it is borne solely out of the fact that Gabi had killed someone she loved, and instead of anger Gabi feels shame for the grief she has personally caused her.
* EasilyForgiven:
** By Kaya, even after Gabi has tried to kill her ''twice''. {{Subverted|Trope}} however when Kaya finds out what she did to Sasha. [[DoubleSubversion Double subverted]] after Gabi saves Kaya from a Titanized Nile Dok.
** Despite murdering his only biological daughter, Gabi is spared by Mr. Braus, the latter of whom says it is the fault of adults who continue the cycle of war that children pay the price.
** After Gabi sadistically bragged to Nicolo about killing Sasha, Nicolo had brutally attacked her and was completely set on murdering both her and Falco as revenge before offering to let Mr. Braus avenge his daughter instead. All it takes is Mr. Braus's speech about the 'children in the forest' for Nicolo to let go of his vendetta.
** [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] for Connie, since he tells Falco that what happened to Sasha was [[NothingPersonal "an act of war"]].
* EnfantTerrible: At barely twelve years old, she is a raging fanatic who is eagerly dedicated to the cause of inheriting one of the Nine Titans to continue the genocidal war against Paradis, a nation who's people don't even remember the sins of their ancestors; all along the way she has an insatiable blood lust and takes great pride in killing in the name of Marley, a blind pursuit that she remains wholly committed to until her actions not only endanger her one friend on the island, but also very nearly leads to her own death at the hands of those she wronged after taking her under their care.
* EntertaininglyWrong: Gabi might as well be the poster child for the trope:
** Gabi thinks that Reiner's trauma is because of something horrific the "Devils" did to him. Actually, they treated him very kindly (until understandably turning against him when they realized he was a spy), so much that he had a HeelRealization. He's traumatized from the sheer ''guilt'' of trying to kill people he'd made genuine friends with, for a cause that turned out to be a bunch of baloney. Gabi doesn't consider this option because of how deeply she's been indoctrinated into Marleyan hatred of Eldians.
** After escaping custody and infiltrating Paradis, she still buys into the Marleyan propaganda, but it's shown that both Falco and Kaya have started to make chinks on her armor. Upon the revelation of her slaying of Sasha, Gabi learns a hard truth from Sasha's dad: the hatred she so vitriolically proclaims is not and has never been mutual, there is no reason to provoke it, and there is no reason to prolong it.
** One assumption that almost costs Gabi her life: that all Marleyans in Paradis are still loyal to Marley and that they can be used as sleeper agents. This was an easy assumption for her to make due to the extreme racialization of Marleyan society, but it's very wrong.
** Gabi's entire worldview is brought crashing down when it is her longtime comrade Pieck who comes to her rescue and tells Gabi that her belief that her loyalty to Marley would help her to gain recognition as an "Honorary Marleyan" has been complete bullshit from the very start. She and the rest of their people would forever be stigmatized for their Eldian blood, and Marley would surely exterminate them once they had outlived their usefulness as Titan fodder. Sooner or later, they would have to fight the Marley if they expected to survive. By the end of it, Gabi has been spiritually broken as she realizes she has only been aiding her so-called allies towards her own eventual demise.
* EveryoneIsRelated: She is Reiner's younger cousin from his mother's side.
* EveryonesBabySister: She fills this role for the Warrior troops, and she's celebrated as such.
* FalseFriend: Begrudgingly accepts Kaya's friendship on the island at Falco's urging, being reluctant to secondguess her long-held prejudice against the Eldians. When Nikolo exposes her as the one who killed Sasha, Kaya accuses Gabi of being this when Sasha's parents prevent her from killing Gabi. Gabi is nearly brought to tears, suggesting she regretted betraying the one person who until now had protected her. Pretty much confirmed later when Kaya says she wants Gabi dead, a statement Gabi overhears from afar and upon this regrets the grief she has caused to so many people.
* FearlessFool: Enemy gunner's nest? Train with massive guns that fire 50 mm anti-Titan rounds? She volunteers to face them alone, and ends up fleeing from enemy ''machinegun fire'' while laughing triumphantly.
* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: She's incredibly vocal about her disdain for the Eldians on Paradis Island compared to her fellow cadets, blaming them for everything bad about her life growing up in Liberio. She made it her personal mission to exterminate them all and show the rest of the world that "good" Eldians are the only ones left. She more than likely picked up this extreme mindset from Reiner's Mother, who also ingrained those extreme views into him when he was growing up.
* FishOutOfWater: She might excel in all matters related to military life, but as shown in Chapter 109, she ''sucks'' when dealing with horses. Too bad for her that she infiltrated Paradis, a land whose people take horse husbandry ''very'' seriously.
* {{Foil}}: She resembles what Eren would have become if he'd grown up in Marley and had his passionate nature twisted by the racial hatred entrenched in that society. There is a single difference between Gabi and Eren: Gabi knows how to stop. She renounced her hatred of the "Devils of Paradis" and regretted her actions, deciding that there had been enough killing. Eren can't, the entire final arc [[spoiler: is all about Eren going through with his genocidal plans because he's already gone too far.]]
* ForgivenessRequiresDeath: At least, Gabi mistakenly believes this is how it works. [[spoiler: She doesn't understand why Armin and Mikasa haven't killed her, and is ready to die as punishment for her actions as long as they won't hurt Falco]].
* GenkiGirl: She is '''incredibly''' cheerful and energetic, especially in comparison to her more somber comrades.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Reiner is visibly disgusted and ashamed of how his cute little cousin Gabi spews the propagandistic drivel of the Marleyans as if it were second nature to her.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: When the Marleyans launch an assault on Shinganshina, Gabi shoots Eren, beheading him. [[spoiler:One second later, [[MassOhCrap the Wall Titans awaken]], Eren transforms into the [[PhysicalGod all-powerful Founding Titan]] and commands the Wall Titans to destroy all nations.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: The process takes a long time, but as of chapter 124 Gabi is offically out of CycleOfRevenge and states that she doesn't want to fight anyone anymore and her only motivation is to save Falco.
* HeelRealization: After Kaya brings Falco and Gabi to her old village and tells them the fate of her mother, she asks them what her mother did to warrant so much hated from the rest of the world towards the inhabitants of the Walls. Gabi immediately recites Marleyan propaganda of the alleged atrocities their ancestors committed for thousands of years. Kaya points out that her mother was born long after those events and obviously had no involvement, yet Gabi ''still'' insists that merely being a descendant is enough justification. It isn't until Kaya gets right up to Gabi's face with tears in her eyes declaring that her mother never killed anyone and demanded an ''actual'' reason for her mother's death that Gabi is left completely shaken and speechless. [[spoiler: Then Nicolo presents her to the Braus family as Sasha's killer, offering them the chance for revenge. Gabi is brought to tears when the family shows her mercy and openly mourns in front of her. When she is finally reunited with the Grice brothers, Gabi prevents Colt from shooting a Paradis soldier (Nile) and breaks down in tears because she finally understands the true source of Reiner's pain. Her experiences on Paradis have forced her to realize that there are no "Devils", just ordinary people]].
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: Singlehandedly takes out Sasha upon infiltrating the Survey Corps airship, spoiling what was almost a complete victory on their part. Possibly takes it even higher at the end of chapter 119 as well, when she ''blows Eren's entire head clean off'' and leaves his fate uncertain. Later averted because Eren survives this quickly as well as [[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain him no longer being a hero at this point]]]].
* HeroWorship: She seems to worship the ground that Reiner walks on and looks up to him. Considering [[BrokenPedestal his track record]] Reiner is appropriately uncomfortable.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: She completely shuts down upon Zofia's death, and has to be dragged to safety by Colt. She manages to pull herself together by the time the crowd has cleared out, but remains unwilling to accept that Udo is also gone]].
* HiddenDepths: She turns out to have a lot more going on that first appearances suggested.
** When Reiner slips up at dinner, she's quick to pick up that his descriptions suggest the Eldians on Paradis are more complicated than propaganda would suggest.
** She doesn't want the Armored Titan to achieve honor or glory. She wants it because [[spoiler: she believes inheriting Reiner's memories will let her keep part of him alive, and finally let her understand everything he's gone through]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: Gabi berates Falco for what she percieves to be a nepotistic drive to obtain a Titan Power, especially considering that his brother is the lead candidate to inherit the Beast Titan. She says this, notwithstanding that she herself is Reiner's little cousin.
** She insists that all the Paradisian Eldians are guilty of the crimes of their ancestors and deserve to be exterminated because of it, ignoring the fact that her own ancestors were part of the Eldian empire too. In Gabi’s mind, being born in Libero and her fanatic dedication to Marley make her and other Eldians innocent (or atleast exempt) of this while hoping that killing them all will earn the rest of the worlds good graces in return. This mindset was installed into her by her aunt.
* HypocrisyNod: [[spoiler:Begs the remaining members of the Survey Corps to help Marley stop Eren's mass-killing, while also admitting she has no right to ask them after everything Marley has done to them.]]
* {{Hotblooded}}: She doesn't do anything half-way, with a rash and loud-mouthed personality.
* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: ImpliedTrope. One of the possible reasons she was allowed in the Warrior Unit in the first place was to punish Reiner for his failures on Paradis, and to make him behave, as he certainly proved unreliable on his own. The fact that Gabi rose on her own by sheer perseverance and merit is a different matter, however.
* ImprobableAimingSkills:
** Gabi proves just ''why'' she's the top candidate, repeatedly demonstrating astounding marksmanship under extreme situations. [[spoiler: First, she manages to shoot a member of the Survey Corps out of the sky while sliding across the ground. She follows this up by swinging into the airship's hangar, rolling into a crouching position, taking aim, and firing a precise (fatal) shot within a matter of seconds]]. She does all of this with a rifle nearly as large as she is. [[note]]One of the most ironic aspects of this comes from the fact that, during the 104th's training years before, the cadets lament the fact that they have to learn marksmanship in spite of it being "useless" against Titans.[[/note]]
** It gets exaggerated when she hits the running [[spoiler:Eren]] so precisely she shoots [[spoiler:his]] head off. While not even lying on the ground like she's supposed to with [[{{BFG}} this gun]], which is powerful enough to [[spoiler:fight Titans]].
** While shooting [[spoiler:Floch]] midair can be reasonably justified as to leading her target, [[spoiler:sniping an Okapi-shaped Titan running at full charge while flying atop Falco's titan form thousands of feet in the air, with the anti-Titan rifle]] is not.
* InHarmsWay: Just like Reiner, she basically wants to save the world and throws herself into danger without concern for her own welfare.
* InnocentlyInsensitive:
** Gabi berates Falco for trying to upstage her, arguing that he doesn't need to demonstrate anything given that his brother will receive the Beast Titan; what Gabi doesn't quite grasp is that Reiner is her cousin and he's the Armored Titan, and that the favors earned by her and their family are considerably more fragile than she surmises. As such, Gabi doesn't realize that her position and Falco's are just as precarious as one another's, and that nothing is written in paper regarding who'll inherit the Armored Titan. In spite of this, Gabi is both callous and insensitive towards Falco, a boy that loves her and wants to keep her safe because he knows how much danger she's facing.
** [[spoiler:She unwisely brags to Nikolo about how she was the Warrior Candidate who killed Sasha, unaware of the later's growing discomfort and rage despite Falco immediately noticing it. Resulting in Nikolo trying to kill her and Falco being seriously injured in his attempt to protect her.]]
* ISurrenderSuckers: She feigns to be surrendering to the enemy in Fort Slava, only to use it as an opportunity to blow the armored train that was protecting the fort.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Played Straight, but then subverted. She seems absolutely ''giddy'' at the thought of inheriting her cousin's powers, even though it requires her to kill and eat him. But then we learn that her motives are a bit more complicated.
* {{Irony}}: While Gabi is skilled at being a ChildSoldier, it's her status as a child that spares her from certain death in most instances [[EveryoneHasStandards where she would have been dead already.]] The soldiers at the trench in Fort Salva, and most tellingly [[spoiler: Sasha,]] chose not to shoot a child. Its layered with extra irony, since, if they had been a little more heartless, [[spoiler: Gabi wouldn't have been able to kill them in the first place.]]
* ItsPersonal:
** One of the reasons that she has for wanting to inherit the Armored Titan is [[spoiler:to find out what is it that is eating Reiner inside by gaining his memories from the Paradis campaign. She is shown to be markedly concerned about his anguish and how different he became when he returned to Liberio]]. As such, she views Falco's desire to inherit the Titan Power as a personal affront against her, responding accordingly. What she doesn't know is that Falco is acting [[spoiler:out of love for her and with the desire to keep her out of harm's way]].
** [[spoiler:After the Paradis Eldians attack Liberio, she swears revenge on Eren Yeager for the destruction, and personally, for the deaths of Udo, Zofia and the Liberio gatekeepers]].
** Played with. [[spoiler:When she's found out at Paradis, Gabi states that it's not like she killed an innocent person when she slew Sasha, as she had personally sniped the Liberio gatekeepers that were Gabi's friends in front of Gabi. It's earlier implied that it's not like she was aiming at Sasha in particular, but Sasha was unfortunate to find herself in Gabi's crosshairs. Just anyone could have been shot at the blimp, and it happened to be Sasha]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Gabi is often aggressive, mean, and condescending towards her friends, rubbing her skills as being the best on Warrior Program on their faces. However she does care about her friends like Falco on dire situations and regretted dragging him to her mess, and she says she does cherish the people around her in Liberio.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** Played with. [[spoiler:When you take into consideration the gravity of what happened at Liberio, and that everything that she learned and held dear throughout the years is crumbling like a house of cards, you'd be hard pressed to find reasons against her RoaringRampageOfRevenge, but this is due to the fact that she has yet to grasp that what was done against the Eldians of Paradis was what elicited the battery in the first place. To her ears, the stuff that comes out of Falco's mouth only fuels the flames in her heart, and it's actually surprising that she's putting up with it. However, her meeting with Kaya at Paradis has forced her to open her eyes to the fact that the logic forced on her, and her wanton wrath, will never be justified.]]
** Invoked. [[spoiler:As said on ItsPersonal, Gabi justifies her killing Sasha because of the deaths of the Liberio gatekeepers by her hand. Sasha's father gets her point, as it boils down to a soldier killing another soldier, and argues that it's him who pushed Sasha into that situation in the first place.]]
* JustFriends: It's known that she does care about Falco as a comrade and friend, and shows sincere concern about his drive to one-up her so late into the selection process. However, she remains blissfully unaware that Falco loves her. [[spoiler: However, their final two scenes together imply that they had their RelationshipUpgrade by the time they're 15 after the last Timeskip]].
* LargeHam: Little girl, big mouth. It's as simple as that, only that she has shown her chops in war, warranting her loud mouth.
* LaserGuidedKarma:
** She has expressed no regret in her part in killing soldiers from Paradis, and even proudly remarks upon her part in Sasha's demise when she runs into Nikolo, who has been residing on Paradis. For this, he attacks her, seriously wounding Falco who had protected her, and is left at the mercy of Sasha's friends and family when Nikolo reveals her identity to them. Even though she is not killed due to the intervention of both Mr. Braus and Mikasa, Falco is left grievously injured and Kaya, who had protected Gabi before learning this condemns her as a murderer for killing her adoptive sister and tries to kill her herself. For this, Gabi is forced to face the reality of the crimes she has committed.
** Not long after this, a visibly unhinged Eren arrives and takes her prisoner along with the rest of the Survey Corps, reminding her of her murder of his comrades.
** One of her fellow Warriors, Pieck is the one to tell Gabi that all of her efforts to come into the Marley's good graces have been in vain, and that she is going to forever be seen as an Eldian and thus an enemy to one day be slaughtered no matter what she does in their service.
** Gabi is once again brought to tears when she overhears Kaya voice her hatred for Gabi, wishing death on her for having killed Sasha. Gabi knows she will probably never earn Kaya's forgiveness and this prompts her to abandon her hatred for the Eldians of Paradis.
** [[spoiler: Later when she shoots Eren's head off to stop the Rumbling, he comes back in mere seconds, [[CameBackStrong more powerful than he ever was before]], and had already begun his master plan of wiping out the outside world...and [[FasterThanTheyLook quickly makes his way to Marley]] and begins wiping out anything in his path, which would likely include Gabi's family...the very same punishment Gabi wanted to inflict on the "Island devils" when she first appeared in the story.]]
** [[spoiler: After she kills Sasha, she tries shooting at the Survey Corps. again, just barely missing Jean's face and ultimately getting restrained by the rest of the Corps. The anime adds them [[WouldHurtAChild beating the living crap out of both her and Falco]] while they do.]]
* LaughingMad: After destroying the armored train, she runs off back to the trench laughing maniacally.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop:
** Everyone that knows them is aware that Falco likes her. This, however, hasn't reached Gabi's ears. [[spoiler: Subverted in 118 when Falco finally confesses his love to her.]]
** [[spoiler:She vows revenge against the Eldian devils, shooting, biting and kicking her way to their evacuating blimp. However, she ceases fighting once she learns that their attack on Liberio was Zeke's idea]].
* LoveRedeems: Played with. [[spoiler:After realizing the gravity of her actions against her Eldian kinmen and hearing Falco's confession of love towards her, her goals completely shift from wanton revenge to two simpler but harder goals: first, keep Falco alive; second, survive for Falco.]]
* MartyrWithoutACause:
** She's taken the underlying MartyrdomCulture to heart, demonstrating a reckless disregard for her own safety or well-being. Rather than value her own life as Falco and Reiner do, she views her worth as directly connected to her ability to sacrifice herself to improve the status of her people. Like many other characters in the series, she mistakes suicidal recklessness for heroism and thinks the best way to help the Eldian people is to die fighting for Marley.
** She retains some of this while at Paradis, though she is somewhat held back by Falco.
** This comes back to hit her at full force when she is being held captive by Eren, from whom she is rescued by Pieck who spells out the awful truth of their efforts right to her when Gabi thinks Pieck has sold their people out to Eren. Pieck makes very clear to Gabi that the Marley will never see her as anything beyond an Eldian, and that when Marley have no further use for them as weapons they will almost certainly be slaughtered along with those living on Paradis. Pieck destroys any notion Gabi has of ever becoming an honorary Marleyan, and for the first time Gabi has no idea what she has been fighting for the entire time.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The masculine girl to Falco's feminine boy. Gabi is a loud aggressive BloodKnight who revels in opportunities to show off her skills during combat. Falco is a soft-spoken gentle NiceGuy who clearly isn't built for war at all and is generally unassertive.
* MeaningfulName: Her name is short for the female form of ''Gabriel'', which in Hebrew means "God is my strength"; this fits with her strong determination and enthusiasm.
* MisplacedRetribution: She considers the "Island Devils" to be solely responsible for all her and other Liberian Eldians suffering (believing that they give Eldians a bad name for "escaping their sins", the supposed threat of the Rumbling and allegedly just being bad people) rather than blaming Marley for their racist policies. She thinks that once they are gone then the world will see that they are "good" Eldians and they will be free, especially if she helps kill them all. This flawed mindset was instilled in her by her family, especially her aunt.
** Finding out the truth of King Fritz doesn’t change this (though she was shocked), though Willy’s words about preparing for an actual Rumbling Threat and the raid on Liberio likely didn’t help.
** After Kaya points out the lack of logic for blaming them for past Eldians actions, the Braus’ decide to spare her after finding out that she killed their daughter, and Pieck (a Warrior) outright telling her that Marley's promises of “redemption” were bullshit does she start to let go of this.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She unwittingly reveals her role in Sasha's death to Nikolo, and for that he outs her right in front of Sasha's family and friends, after which Kaya, who until then had treated her with nothing but kindness in spite of her Marleyan loyalty calls her a murderer and nearly kills her in a fit of rage. The sight of Kaya and Sasha's parents grieving before her leaves her visibly regretful. Tellingly, she is fully prepared to accept her fate and owns up to her murder of Sasha, merely asking that Falco be spared regardless of what happens to her.
** Gabi is visibly distressed when she realizes it was her actions that caused Falco to be poisoned with the wine laced with Zeke's spinal fluid, and quickly takes full blame for it.
* MyGreatestFailure: Aside from realizing the truth about the so-called "Devils of Paradis", Gabi's slaying of Sasha seems to be becoming this as Kaya, the first person on the island to befriend her and Falco now wishes for them both to die for their actions.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her "final sacrifice" during the close of the Battle of Liberio not only leads to the capture of herself and Falco, but also tremendously affects Eren who's progressive SanitySlippage only worsens after she personally killed several of his closest comrades. By the time they cross paths again, they are utterly at Eren's mercy and he has even taken the remainder of the Survey Corps hostage, aggravating the already worsening situation among the Paradis leadership. Eren makes it very clear that he isn't finished with her, and that she cannot rely on the Corps to protect her or Falco from his wrath.
** [[spoiler:She shoots Eren, blowing his head off. Unfortunately, Zeke catches Eren's head, activating the Founding Titan's power. Eren wrests control from Zeke and activates the Wall Titans. All of this happens in a split second, before Gabi can fall from the recoil. She watches helplessly as Eren begins transforming before her and the Wall Titans awakening.]]
* NoIndoorVoice: She has a tendency to begin shouting whenever she's excited, frequently requiring others (usually Reiner) to tell her to stop.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: For all her hatred for Eren, Armin says she reminds him so much of his former friend when she questions him and Mikasa on why she had not yet been killed for her crimes; Armin observes that like Eren, she seems to exhibit the same "kill or be killed" philosophy that drives his actions.
* ObliviousToLove: She isn't aware that Falco likes her and behaves rather antagonistically towards him due to being another candidate for the Armored Titan power. Unaware of it all, she question's Falco's very motives for competing with her, as it's already public knowledge that Colt will inherit the Beast Titan, making Falco's family safe from what their revolutionary uncle brought upon them. Even when he tells her that ''he's doing it for her'', she still doesn't catch his drift. Falco has to spell it out for her.
* OhCrap: When she sees Eren face to face for the first time since the events of Liberio, she's absolutely terrified of him and does not speak during his entire confrontation with Armin and Mikasa. The fact that he sat there with his hand deliberately slashed open for her to see probably had a lot to do with it.
** [[spoiler:She shoots Eren, seemingly killing him. One second later, the Walls crumble, the Colossal Titans awaken and a horrified Gabi watches Eren transforming.]]
** She learns that Connie has kidnapped Falco with the intent of feeding him to his Titanized mother so that she may regain her humanity, which has her pleading for her former enemies to tell Eren to do this before this becomes necessary.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Eren has consistently referred to her as "the brat who killed Sasha".
* PluckyGirl: She fits the trope, even though her motives are markedly twisted. She is brave as hell, confident and charismatic, and she would be nothing short of a heroine save the fact that she's operating under propagandistic lies in favor of an evil empire.
* RefugeInAudacity: Gabi is an ample practitioner of tooting her own horn, often calling herself an exemplary soldier and a cutie. She does it not only out of pride, but also because she has unbending confidence on her own capabilities as a soldier, and she has a point. The fact that she is everything she claims to be has earned her many admirers at the Liberio Ghetto, and her confidence is one of the main reasons she's the lead Warrior candidate in her batch.
* RightInFrontOfMe: When she first meets Nikolo, she starts enthusiastically bragging to him about how she killed Sasha, unaware that she was very precious to him.
* TheRival: She sees herself as this to Falco, since both are the prime candidates to inherit the Armored Titan power.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: After her friends are killed by Eren, she swears revenge against him and intends to die fighting. She kills a fleeing soldier and uses his equipment to board the Survey Corps' airship, then opens fire on the group inside the hangar. She fatally wounds Sasha and nearly kills Jean, before being captured. She only stops screaming and fighting after being brought to see Zeke]].
** [[spoiler: This is also likely why she picks up Colt's rifle and shoots Eren's head off as he's running towards Zeke, as she'd just watched [[LoveInterest Falco]] get turned into a Titan by Zeke and Colt burn to death.]]
* Rule63: She is based on one Isayama previously designed for Eren.
* SanitySlippage: Zeke's betrayal certainly did a number to her mental state, when Falco removes her Eldian armband arguing that soldiers will recognize it, she clings to it claiming that without it she'll become "[[InsaneTrollLogic like one of the devils of the Island]]".
* SelectiveObliviousness: When Falco tries to stop her from going on a suicide mission against the Paradis Soldiers, she tearfully tells Falco that Liberio is her home and she'll never forgive them for trampling on it. She goes on to say that he doesn't even know why they attacked in the first place. At which point, Falco bluntly points out that Marley attacked Paradis first, and this was retaliation for ''their'' home being trampled on and ''their'' loved ones being killed. Gabi disregards Falco's reasoning and goes right back to reciting Marleyan propaganda that it's always been normal to kill "Island Devils" and runs off.
* SenselessSacrifice: Her "final" sacrifice proves to be this when she is taken captive by the Survey Corps and is taken to face Zeke, who is very much alive and revealed to be cooperating with the people she saw as the enemy. Her vows to fulfill "his" will fall flat as Zeke himself clearly isn't pleased by her and Falco's presence.
* SoProudOfYou: Gabi is quite popular in the Liberio Ghetto because of her accomplishments and even elicits pride in Marleyan soldiers who meet her.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Deemed as much by [[spoiler:Zeke]] alongside Falco, calling the two children "miscaculations" to his plans. It's implied that he did not expect them to [[spoiler:survive and make it to the blimp going back to Paradis]] in the first place. Turns out [[spoiler:Zeke was right when both of them inadvertently led to the Survey Corps discovering that the wine served to the Military Higher-ups was tainted with Zeke's spinal fluid along with Falco being accidently exposed to it]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it with a "y" or an "i"?
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A hot-tempered, idealistic kid with a reckless streak a mile wide... who wants to wipe out a faceless "evil" and free their people? She's ''very'' much like Eren, and WordOfGod confirms her design is a recycling of a Rule63 Eren sketch. Just like him, she also [[spoiler: witnesses a Titan's attack on her home and the deaths of her loved ones]]. The CycleOfRevenge continues with her swearing to kill her enemy.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Her entire plan for entering the airship was to go down fighting, and she very nearly gets her wish. Only Falco's quick action saves Gabi and Jean from a MutualKill]].
* TakeMeInstead: [[spoiler:Having been captured by the Survey Corps at the restaurant, Gabi's only request is that no harm be done upon Falco, that she'll take whatever punishment they'll see fit, and to even kill her if that's their choice. Armin and Mikasa tell her to just shut up about executions, and that they have no intention of killing her... that is, until a rather pissed off Eren storms the restaurant with his army of fanatics]].
* TookALevelInKindness: Gabi's experiences on Paradis have changed her for the better, causing her to abandon her Nationalistic ideals and seek a more peaceful solution to the conflict, like pleading for Armin and Mikasa to reason with Eren so that he stops the Rumbling.
* UngratefulBastard: While Sasha [[WouldntHurtAChild spares her life]], Gabi only sees her as a frightening ColdSniper who murdered 2 Liberio gatekeepers who are concerned about her in front of her. [[note]] Isayama changed the artwork for the volume, with Sasha's face partially hidden in shadows to make her troubled expression more difficult to see.[[/note]] Later on, [[spoiler: she boards the airship while on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and shoots into the crowd, killing Sasha]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Gabi's actions at the restaurant when she confronts Nikolo indirectly leads to Falco unknowingly ingesting wine laced with Zeke's spinal fluid when Nikolo attacks them both, putting him in serious danger of being Titanized along with the rest of Zeke's intended victims. She nearly costs her friend his life right on the spot as Nikolo very nearly slits his throat as revenge for Sasha and forces Gabi to watch.
** It is implied her killing of Sasha had a more damaging effect on Eren than first believed, as he was quick to remind her of her crime before taking her hostage along with the rest of his former comrades, with whom he had all but completely severed all ties with right in front of her.
** Worse still, it is implied that killing Sasha has had an equally disastrous effect on Connie, who's progressive SanitySlippage comes to a head when he realizes Falco has inherited the Jaw Titan, and intends to have his mother in Ragako eat him so that she can be restored to human form. Determined to save at least one loved one, he kidnaps Falco and leaves Shiganshina. Gabi becomes desperate and begs Armin and Mikasa to find some way to ask Eren to restore her humanity before this can happen.
** [[spoiler:Gabi shooting Eren's head off ended up being this as well in her attempt to stop Eren from activating the Rumbling. Most people would have been dead from a shot like that; turns out it's exactly what Eren needed in order to reach the Paths realm, acquire the Founding Titan's power, and activate the Rumbling, making Gabi directly responsible for Eren's ability to destroy the entire world outside of the island.]]
* UseYourHead: She headbutts Falco after he announces his intention to be the selected Warrior to inherit the Armored Titan power.
* VillainousBSOD: Though she's not a villain per-se, she is a pawn running on Marleyan propagandistic lies, and wreaks havoc as such:
** She gets one once she sees [[spoiler:a supposedly dead Zeke riding on the blimp to Paradis]].
** She is left aghast when, [[spoiler:after the confrontation in the restaurant, [[https://i1.wp.com/jaiminisbox.com/reader/content/comics/attack-on-titan_5c2f70a0b6f70/112-0-ignorance_5c2f73d3c6185/16.png?quality=100&strip=all Eren casually strolls in and sits at the table]]]].
* WhatWereYouThinking: She is on the receiving end of this from General Magath after she is rescued by Pieck in Shiganshina, calling her an "imbecile" for having charged blindly at the enemy and getting herself captured for it.
* WideEyedIdealist: She genuinely believes all the problems in the world can be solved by beating the "Evil" Eldians on the island, making her a hero in the process. [[spoiler: Witnessing Eren's rampage at the Festival along with the deaths of Zofia and Udo was a ''massive'' reality check on her end]].
* WoundedGazelleGambit: [[spoiler: She uses the classic "Sick Prisoner" trick, attacking the guard when he comes to investigate Falco's shouting. Afterwards, the kids shove the body under the bed and flee into the woods]].

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Pieck's high intelligence allows her to quickly assess a situation. She immediately knew something was unusual about the soldier who was leading her and the rest of the Warrior Unit away from Internment Zone, allowing her to slip her comrades a message for help. She also deduced that, despite the high casualties that the Eldians inflicted during the Raid on Liberio, the Marleyans still held the strategic advantage and simply had to cut off the Eldian avenues for retreat. Later, while seemingly siding with the Yaegerists, she waves to some soldiers with her cuffed hand to show that she is a hostage.

* ChildSoldiers: They recruit children between the ages of five and seven among the Eldians living in the ghettos to mold them to serve as fanatically loyal "Warriors" for Marley; a select few are then given one of the Titan Powers. In exchange they grant the title of "Honorary Marleyans" to their families. In fact, the only real adult among their ranks seems to be Zeke, who appears to have gained his power at around 17. They employ children to indoctrinate them more easily, and to ensure that by enlisting, their families are kept in check.

Presumably, the heavy indoctrination reduces the chance of a Warrior defecting, which would be quite devastating for Marley.

** During the FinalBattle the members of the alliance are being pined down by an army of former nine Titan users with seeming now way to win. Falco's sudden arrival as a flying Jaw Titan allows the alliance to regroup and turn the tides on the battle.

* BigDamnHeroes: Falco gets two major moments to shine [[spoiler:after becoming the Jaw Titan]] that prove instrumental in the series final arc.
** [[spoiler:At the Port the alliance is being hammered at all sides by the Yeagerists with no way to escape when suddenly Falco activates his Jaw Titan power for the first time. While he soon loses control over it, he is able to break up the Yeagerists formation, allowing the alliance to take the port for themselves and escape.]]

* EveryonesBabyBrother: Due to his kind nature pretty much everyone in the Warrior Unit likes Falco and he is directly described as being seen as a kid brother. [[spoiler:Armin even argues against feeding Falco to someone after he inherits the Jaw Titan as, if Eren succeeds in wiping out the world, they Paradisians could start a whole new war with Reiner and Pieck over his death.]]

* TraumaCongaLine: Started as a child soldier fighting for an evil superpower. Then his act of kindness towards a veteran results in [[spoiler:his hometown being destroyed and friends killed]], then being captured and held prisoner by the Paradis Eldians, witnessing the cruel effects that Marleyan aggression had on civillians, and finally getting hit by a bottle with Zeke's spinal fluid and learning he's most likely going to be titanized. And the revelation that he's [[spoiler:killed his own brother while transforming and then ate Galliard]] is still before him. Poor kid.

While her father is definitely her motivation, it's unclear whether he actually needed medical care or not. The anime shows her father suffering a coughing fit when they reunite, which might suggest her story is true.]].
