A female character who is so perfect that she is annoying. The name originated in a very short Star Trek story that mocked the sort of female characters who showed up in fanfiction. It usually refers to original female characters put into fanfiction, but can refer to any character.
Mary-Sues are characters who are usually extraordinarily gorgeous, amazingly talented, unusually powerful, and exceedingly attractive to whoever the author has a crush on. They often possess ridiculously fancy and pretentious first names -- Angel, Raven, Jewel, Lorelei Bianca Julia Marizza Snape -- and are very, very annoying.
Mary-Sue is often abbreviated to 'Sue.' The male equivelant is either Marty-Stu or Gary-Stu.

Your Buffy fanfic has a problem. Her name is Alayne Lorelei Gemma Jeshika Shanna, she has violet eyes and raven hair, curves in all the right places, is more powerful than Willow and a better fighter than Buffy and Faith combined, AND Spike is in love with her. She's a total Mary-Sue, and she's really annoying!"

Mary Sue
n.1
A negative reference to a female character
commonly used by beginning writers in their Fan-fiction.
Most times, the "Mary-Sue" is based upon the author.
She is unusually perfect and more advanced, also befriends
or becomes romantically entangled with the author's favorite
character/characters from the series. Because she is more
superior than the other characters in the work, she mainly
becomes the focus of the fan-fiction, thus ruining whatever
the fan-fiction was about.
As stated above, the name of the character referred to as
the "Mary-Sue" does not matter.
n.2
A person who acts smug or superior to a friend or comrade.

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"

It used to refer to a type of female character who is depicted as unrealistically lacking in flaws or weaknesses.
Now people use to refer to a "Female Character I Don't Like For Some Reason."

A dogwhistle term for neckbeards to criticize strong female protagonists, when in reality they're just misogynistic assholes.
Incel #1: "Did you see how bullshit the Night King's death was on GoT last night?"
Incel #2: "Yeah dude! I can't believe they made Arya into a Mary Sue! I wish Samwell Tarly would have killed him instead!"
