The type of character that is perfect in every way possible. Here's an example of a Mary Sue:
- Young, probably immortal
- Everyone loves them
- Always does everything without flaw
- Probably has magical powers
- Might be a hybrid (often crap like "half demon, half wolf, half princess, half human" because princesses are totally not human /s, and the character is probably written by an 8 year old that doesn't know about the term quarters)
- Has like 6 people after her
- Most likely female
- Only flaws are "clumsy" or something similar
Boom. There you have your very own Mary Sue/Gary Stue.

Get the Mary Sue mug.A main character, usually a girl, who’s a clear self-insert into the story and is annoyingly powerful and important. Often stereotyped with unusually-coloured hair when it is parodied. Almost always supposed to be a ‘clumsy dork’ character who’s unpopular (even though they’re friends with their entire school usually and are almost always dating the guy the supposed ‘popular girl’ (whom everyone actually hates) wanted first but let’s not question that I guess)

Get the Mary Sue mug.The worst contribution made by the Star Trek fandom to the popular zeitgeist, oh yeah sure, we thought we were hot shit, but then the fuckin' assholes in that right wing "CuLtUrE wAr" grift decided to steal it just like they probably stole a bunch of peoples' money for their shit fanfilms which have so little substance, but I digress.
High I'm Troy McClure, you may remember me from such Urban Dictionary definitions as, Soaking: A Mormon's wild weekend and Elon Musk: The Dumb-man's Tony Stark, I'm here to tell you on behalf of the Star Trek fandom, "We're sorry we invented the term Mary Sue"

Get the Mary Sue mug.A sexist term used to enforce the misogynistic ideals that female characters/authors shouldn't be allowed to fantasize or write anything along the lines of wish fulfillment. Its misogynistic qualities are exemplified in many ways, most notably being the fact that it's not a term dominated by the male counterpart despite existing in a patriarchal society, as well as the fact that the male counterpart is largely undecided upon in name and also undefined (see urban dictionary's Gary Stu entry which has no definition but to say "A Male Mary Sue", and the Marty-Stu entry which involves the "Mary Sue" definition to define it).
It's usually used on the whole to bully new authors out of writing female characters altogether, making the task seem so daunting to some that they now only write slash fictions with two male characters, also exemplifying the misogynistic qualities this term involves.

Fan Fiction Reader: Why don't we just call all bad/annoying characters "special snowflakes" instead of using a female name like mary-sue in a derogatory fashion?
2.
Troll: You're writing a mary-sue to pair with the canon character you fat low life, it's pathetic and so are you!
3.
Author: I'm so afraid of having my female character labeled as a mary-sue that I only write male characters!

Get the Mary-Sue mug.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!"
