Watch out for these in your application!

[Becca]

Right, no one likes a Mary sue my friends. But Mary Sue is a term that ranges pretty wildly, not all of them are the same. So how do we tell? Here is a list of the different types along with an application to show.

Angsty Sue:
A good example of this would have to be Sasuke from Naruto (if you haven't heard of him I'll tell you the plot around him:
-Looks very emo and every girl he meets is fan girling over him
-is the best ninja in the village
-Brother killed his whole clan so is seeking revenge to kill him then revive the clan
-Body is wanted by someone who looks like Voldi with hair
-Survived death by doing a very complicated hand movement think in a millionth of a second

Any of them setting of alarm bells for you? Well Sasuke is a Gary Sue, a guy version of a Mary Sue, but these apply to girls as well.

This application was an example made for people:

Traits found in all mary sues:
Unrealistic weight
No taller than 5 foot 6, any taller isn't cute in sues
Curves, not every girl is an hourglass
"Flaws" made to make the character look cute and innocent and don't take much away from the character

I'll expand of this as I think more traits =)

Also this test is specifically for harry potter sues, so please check this:
