Gabi Braun is an Eldian Warrior candidate from Marley and the cousin of Reiner Braun. She was chosen among the top Warrior candidates to potentially inherit the power of the Armored Titan. Born and raised in Liberio’s internment zone, Gabi grew up under Marley’s indoctrination, believing that serving Marley and earning honor for her family was her ultimate duty. She is one of the youngest yet most passionate fighters among the candidates, determined to prove herself as a true Warrior. 

Gabi is a short and athletic young girl, with a small face, bright brown eyes, and a radiant smile that contrasts with her fiery personality. She keeps her dark brown hair tied half-up, with long strands framing her face. As part of the Warrior candidates, she wears the standard Marleyan soldier uniform, including a white jacket and pants, black boots, and a hard hat marked with the Eldian star. Like all Eldians in Marley, she is required to wear the Eldian armband, symbolizing her status. In casual settings, Gabi often wears simple clothes such as a white shirt, black dress, and mantle. Despite her youth, her posture and presence carry the confidence of someone aiming to become a true soldier. 

Gabi is outspoken, passionate, and headstrong, unafraid to voice her opinions or take risks. She has a strong sense of pride in being an Eldian who serves Marley and believes deeply in the Warrior system. Her boundless determination pushes her to take reckless yet courageous actions, such as charging headfirst into danger for the sake of her comrades. However, this same drive makes her overbearing and domineering, often imposing her views on others and acting as if she were the leader among her fellow candidates. Despite her fiery temper, Gabi also shows genuine care and loyalty toward her friends and family, risking her life for their sake. Over time, her experiences in Paradis challenge her worldview, forcing her to confront the flaws in Marley’s ideology and her own prejudices. 

Childhood: Gabi was born in Liberio to the Braun family, growing up alongside her cousin Reiner Braun. Influenced by Marley’s propaganda, she was taught that the path to honor and freedom for her family was through serving as a Warrior.

Warrior Candidate Training: Excelling in combat and strategy, Gabi became the top candidate among her peers to inherit the Armored Titan. Her natural talent and fearless nature made her stand out, though her arrogance sometimes alienated her comrades.

War for Paradis: During Marley’s attack on Paradis, Gabi distinguished herself with her bravery, managing to single-handedly destroy an enemy train that threatened hundreds of Eldian soldiers. However, after sneaking aboard an airship to Paradis, she killed Sasha Blouse, an act that sparked lasting consequences and deepened her hatred from the Paradis soldiers.

Life in Paradis: Taken prisoner, Gabi’s encounters with the people of Paradis gradually shifted her beliefs. Through her interactions with characters like Falco Grice and Nicolo, she began to understand that Eldians on the island were not the “devils” she had been taught to despise. This internal conflict marked a turning point in her growth, as she struggled between her loyalty to Marley and the truths she discovered in Paradis.

Later Years: Gabi’s determination never wavered, but her perspective matured. No longer blindly devoted to Marley, she fought instead to protect her loved ones and sought to find her own path beyond the cycle of hatred. Her journey reflects the next generation’s struggle to rise above the conflicts inherited from their predecessors.
