Gabi Braun (Anime)

Gabi Braun (ガビ・ブラウン) is an Eldian serving in the Marleyan Military and the cousin of Reiner Braun. She is a candidate (戦士候補生) that is likely to inherit the Armored Titan's power.

Appearance
Gabi is a short, young girl with a petite yet athletic build. She has a small face with wide bright brown eyes, defined eyebrows, a small upturned nose and a notably radiant smile. She also has medium length dark brown hair which she keeps half tied above her head. Like her fellow Warrior candidates, she wears the standard Marleyan soldier uniform consisting of a white jacket and pants, supply packs on the hip, suspender straps, a hard hat with a stripe around it, and high black combat boots.

As an Eldian, her uniform is different from the Marleyans, as her shirt collar has a small badge with the Eldian star instead of a small clip and her hat has a white stripe with the Eldian star on it instead of a pure black stripe. However, underneath her uniform, she wears a short tattered white dress with poorly made thigh-length light-colored shorts. As is law in Marley, Gabi also wears the Eldian armband as all her family members and ancestors residing there do so as well.

Personality
Gabi is very passionate and head-strong, expressing her emotions and opinions without inhibition. She is also brave, possessing boundless determination, and willing to put her life on the line to complete a goal for a perceived greater good. She also shows great concern for her fellow Eldians, risking her life to take out a train instead of letting 800 of her brethren charge the gunmen guarding their objective.

Marley arc
Gabi and her fellow Warrior candidates are placed on the front lines during Marley's attack on Fort Slava. When Falco's brother Colt returns to their hiding trench with his wounded brother, Gabi and her fellow candidates tend to his wounds as she re-explains their objective to him. Falco asks why they are on the front lines as candidates and Gabi explains that it is so they can be evaluated by Commander Magath for their capabilities as successors to the Armored Titan power. When Zofia begins to boast about her grades, Gabi interrupts her by explaining her superior resolve to kill all the people of Paradis Island and free the people trapped in Liberio.

When the enemy emerges with an armored train, Commander Magath makes a plan to have 800 Eldian Warriors charge the mid-eastern gunmen guarding the base to create an opening. However, Gabi volunteers to use a bomb she made to take out the anti-Titan artillery alone, without losing any soldiers. She is initially denied, but Gabi is able to convince Magath to let her go. Removing her uniform and tying the bomb to her leg, Gabi leaves the ditch and approaches the gunmen with her hands up. She pretends to trip and then throws the bomb on the train tracks, derailing the train and killing the gunmen as she runs away laughing. One of the survivors opens fire, but Gabi is saved by the arrival of Galliard's Titan, which shields her.

While she puts her clothes back on, she sees Falco bringing an injured enemy soldier to the trench. She mocks him, telling him that there is no way he can surpass her as a possible heir of the Armored Titan by following international law. After the cadets finish tending to their wounded, they watch the second phase of the assault as Zeke Jaeger and her cousin Reiner attack the fort.

Abilities
As a member of the Marleyan army and a candidate to inherit the Armored Titan power, Gabi has gone through a thorough military training. She is a very resourceful individual, creating a make-shift bomb in the midst of the battle of Fort Slava. She also had the idea of simulating her surrender in order to launch the bomb from a more favorable position.
