How To: Avoid Blatantly Mary Sue-ish OCs · 1:26pm Mar 7th, 2014
Hello. Here's a checklist of some elements that I have found in Mary Sue pony OCs.
-Alicorn status.
-Popularity.
-Always agreed with, even when harsh or wrong.
-Alpha B**** status.
-Red and black, darker or washed-out color scheme
-Related to a main character that we see featured in episodes.
-Unrealistically Tragic Backstory Syndrome (UTBS)
-Speaks several languages fluently
-Blinding beauty
-Smarter than Twilight (because she's smartest pony.)
-Infallible
-Perfect in every way
-Human name
-Faster than Dashie
-Stronger than Big Mac
Basically, a Mary Sue is a perfect character with little to no flaws. They can be male or female, it doesn't matter, although male Mary Sues are often called Gary Stus or Marty Stus
