I think Gabi still has a lot of worth in the story as a twisted fun house mirror version of Eren as she is basically the person he was at the beginning of the story which was an overly nationalistic individual who believed they were in the right all the time and that there enemies are monsters that need to be destroyed no matter the cost and I think she will make Eren realize his extreme actions were in the wrong and he will try to change her ways to prevent her from destroying her soul further like he just did in Liberio and I totally get Gabi's personality being off putting as I felt the same way about Eren at the beginning of the series but even if Gabi isn't a perfect character I get what Isayama is trying to do and I personally appreciate it but feel that Gabi's overall standing in my character rankings will depend on what Isayama does from here. On the other side to further clarify my distaste for Tybur is the fact that the WHT was unbelievably cool in design and ability and was hyped for five straight chapters but was handed to a character that had no bearing on the plot outside of providing a protagonist with an upgrade, had 3 lines of dialogue, and then just died atleast with Gabi love or hate her she is a character with clear motivations and a defined personality whereas Tybur isn't a character but a thinly veiled plot device and I feel like characters like that shouldn't exist in any story let alone with an important piece of the narrative puzzle.
