Greetings lady evenstar! This may be a little late, but still: enjoy being dead!

A Mary Sue isn't a 'real' character. It's a name used by fans to indicate a (female) character, that's to perfect. Do you know what fan-fiction is? I assume you do. When somebody creates a character that has everything, beauty, brains, a great voice, she get's a most wanted character and so on and so forth, she is considered to be a Mary Sue.

The male version is 'Harry Stue'.

Hope this cleared things up a bitfor you. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

NaNa!
