User blog comment:Neetaku/A Think Piece on the Characters of Sasha Blouse and Connie Springer (AKA: Neetaku Rants: Part 1)/@comment-27938131-20170718170908/@comment-24407809-20170718174544

I wish Isayama would do more with Sasha too, but I'm not sure if he ever will. I imagine it's hard for a writer to resign himself to ending a character's arc, only to save the character at the last second, and be able to find something for that character to keep doing. Honestly, if I had been in Isayama's shoes, I would have either ignored my editor and killed her, or I would have saved her and written her out of the series. In fact considering she had just met back up with her father, and had gotten to see how proud he was of her, I would have just had her quit the military and return to her village to be with her family.

As for Connie... Just kill him. I don't know, I don't see any way you can write him out of the story, and I do not believe that he will receive any more development than what he already has. The only way Isayama could do anything with his character is have him be the one to kill Zeke (since he has that grudge for Zeke killing his town), but if Isayama had the worst main character in the series kill its best antagonist, I would have to drop the series. No joke.

I've heard that the male equivalent for "Mary Sue" is "Gary Stu", but I didn't feel like using it when I was writing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, for some reason I feel like the term "Mary Sue" is more recognizable to the average reader than "Gary Stu".
