Gabi Braun, an Eldian raised in Marley’s Liberio internment zone, was steeped in propaganda framing Paradis Island’s Eldians as devils responsible for historical crimes. As a Warrior candidate, she trained to inherit her cousin Reiner Braun’s Armored Titan, determined to prove Eldian loyalty to Marley and secure her family’s safety. Her early resolve blended fierce nationalism, tactical cunning, and a conviction in her moral righteousness, driven by the belief that eliminating Paradis would liberate oppressed Eldians. At Fort Slava, Gabi’s ingenuity shone when she crafted a bomb to destroy an armored train, sparing hundreds of Eldian soldiers from slaughter. This act cemented her status as a prodigious soldier while underscoring her readiness to sacrifice herself for Marley’s agenda. Her dynamic with peers Falco Grice, Udo, and Zofia oscillated between assertive leadership and protective loyalty, though her rigid ideals faltered after Eren Yeager’s attack on Liberio killed her friends, exposing the futility of cyclical vengeance. Forced into Paradis captivity, Gabi clung to hatred, dismissing her enemies as subhuman—until Kaya Blouse, whose compassion persisted despite Gabi’s role in Sasha’s death, challenged her dehumanization. Reiner’s accounts of Paradis’s humanity and witnessing Marley’s mirrored brutality unraveled her indoctrination, culminating in a collapse of her worldview as she recognized Eldians’ shared suffering. Amid the Rumbling, Gabi allied with former foes to halt Eren, her sharpshooter skills pivotal in clashes against Titans. Her motivation shifted from retribution to safeguarding lives, a resolve tested when she was briefly transformed into a Pure Titan during Fort Salta’s battle—a stark reminder of Eldians’ exploitation as tools of war. Her bond with Falco evolved from competitive rivalry to interdependent trust, contrasting her earlier fixation on martyrdom. Reiner’s mentorship and Kaya’s unexpected empathy became catalysts for her transformation, bridging divides forged by hatred. By the conflict’s end, Gabi’s journey reflected a shift from fervent nationalism to a tempered empathy, embodying the possibility of breaking inherited cycles through mutual recognition.
