A Mary Sue is often a perfect female character, with no flaws, a sad backstory, and the story often revolves around them. They often have impossible bloodlines and names like Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way and they completely upstage canon characters. The other characters are also commonly friends with or in love/crushing on the her, despite not having any reason to.The male counterparts are Gary or Marty Sue.

An OC (Original Character) that is basically the best in every way possible. Usually they have a disproportionately large chest, rainbow hair and a dark backstory. They usually have names like, 'Princess Rainbow Sparkle Killer Kawaii Desu' or, 'Miss Sexy Thang Sparkle Rainbow Queen Psycho Killer Shiny Beauty Girl'.
That biatch is nothing but a careless, insincere Mary Sue!

My eyes are bleeding, and critique would do an indescribably large number on this, I think it's a Mary Sue!

A term used by emotionally stunted men in fandom spaces that are either:
1. Threatened by a powerful female character, (but, not a male character with the exact same arc)
2. Unable to comprehend the heroine arc or emotional depth and struggle that character has had to go through

'Rey is such a Mary Sue'-Jack Dimwit exclaimed, in disgust that a character could probably beat him up, *with no training*, even though the character literally grew up having to learn how to defend and feed herself since she was 5 years old

A term referring to a character in fiction who is unreasonably favored by the author. The character typically faces few conflicts between themselves or non-villain characters, displays a complete lack of seriously crippling flaws and weaknesses, and has their bad actions repeatedly forgiven or regarded as unquestionably good by the story.
That is of course what the term is supposed to mean, but over the years its use has become more and more broad and haphazardly thrown around that it has essentially lost all meaning. Characters who obviously aren't Mary Sues are frequently called them, while characters who clearly fit the description fly under the radar. Mary Sue has become just another meaningless term used as a covert synonym for something you don't like, the same way "unfair" is used for video games or "contrived" is used for movies.

Kid: "Have you seen the new movie that came out? The main character is such a Mary Sue."
Kid 2: "No she's not. Do you even know what that term means?"

A fanmade character that is perfect in almost, if not, every way. They generally are unrealistically attractive, virtually every character is their friend or has a crush on them, and are overpowered. Male versions are also called a, "Gary Sue"
