Glossary Entry: Mary Sue

Definition

A Mary Sue is an overly "perfect" character in a fictional work. Often the result of inexperienced writers, they are able to overcome any challenge too easily, making them boring and predictable characters.

On the other hand, playing as a Mary Sue in a video game is extremely fun, so don't take things too seriously.
