For the ordinary humans who knew Max, her death could be a wake - up call. They might realize how much she had done for them, even though she was different. It could lead to a change in their attitude towards the transgenics, but also a sense of sadness for losing someone who was a hero in their midst.
The other transgenic characters would feel a great sense of loss. Max was like a leader to them in many ways. Without her, they might struggle to find their place and purpose. Some might even go into a state of rage, seeking revenge for her death.
Logan would be devastated. He had a deep connection with Max, and her death would leave a huge void in his life. He might become withdrawn, losing his motivation to fight for the causes they once shared.
In a fight before she dies, Max could be protecting someone she cares about deeply. As she takes the fatal blow, the look on her face as she realizes she can't be there for that person anymore would be extremely sad. And the person she was protecting would be left with a sense of guilt and loss.
The other characters would be greatly affected. Her death could shatter the Rebel Alliance's morale. Leia was a symbol of hope and leadership. Without her, there could be internal power struggles. Some might try to fill her shoes but fail, leading to chaos. It could also change the way the galaxy views the fight against the Empire. Her diplomatic skills were important, and without her, the Alliance might struggle to form new alliances or keep the ones they have.
If Percy dies in the 'Heroes of Olympus' fanfiction, it's a huge blow to the others. His death could lead to a breakdown in the group dynamic. Grover, for example, would be deeply affected as Percy was one of his closest friends. The demigods might lose their sense of hope. Without Percy's leadership and strength, they could struggle in battles. And the younger demigods who looked up to him would be in shock, losing a role model.
Well, it would shatter them. Grover, who has been friends with Annabeth for a long time, would be heartbroken. He might even blame himself for not being able to protect her. The other campers at Camp Half - Blood would also feel a great sense of loss. Annabeth was like a guiding light for many of them, especially the younger demigods. Her death could lead to a drop in morale among the whole demigod community, making it harder for them to fight against the giants.
His friends would be devastated. Annabeth, in particular, would be heartbroken. Their relationship is very strong, and his death would leave a huge void in her life. She might become more withdrawn and less trusting.
It would also have an impact on the public. Spiderman was a beloved hero. His death could lead to a loss of hope among the civilians. Some heroes might then feel the need to step up more to fill the void he left, while others might be too traumatized by his death to function properly in their heroic duties.
For Blake and Yang, Neo's death could be a reminder of the harsh reality of their world. They might become more cautious and protective of their team. They could also start to question their own beliefs about redemption and whether every enemy can be saved or not.
In some fanfictions, their relationship develops through shared experiences. For example, they might fight together against a common enemy. This would make them rely on each other and understand each other's strengths and weaknesses better, thus deepening their sibling bond.
Katniss would be deeply affected. She might feel guilty, as Gale has always been there for her in the past. His death could make her more withdrawn and less trusting of others, as she's lost one of the most important people in her life.
Max's character can be further developed by exploring her emotional side more. For example, showing how she deals with the trauma of her time at Manticore. Also, by giving her more complex relationships, like a love - hate relationship with someone from her Manticore past.
