Eren commits a brutal attack killing hundreds, including women and children. Unless I'm forgetting something completely, Gabi's crime thus far consist of killing enemies who got into her way. Also, she is a brainwashed child with no exposure to anybody who can reveal the truth to her. After she learns the truth on Paradis, she actually breaks down and realizes that the Paradis Eldians are no devils. A) 'Brainwashed' is literally a category on this wiki, coinciding with possessed. And in both cases, unless an established hero is temporarily being forced to do something against their will, being brainwashed is not an excuse for someone's actions and therefore counts as villainous.

B) Even if she is considered 'remorseful', it goes out the window when she intentionally shoots to kill Eren. Who by the way only did what he did to protect his own people, so he is far more noble than anyone in Marley ever could be.
