Hello and welcome :3

Your deer sounds very sweet so far ^^

Thank you! ^^ I try to not make him a Mary Sue, though XD;;

Kind of fun to see Chickenwhite's early blog


A Mary Sue is a character with no flaws. They are perfect; beautiful, powerful fighters, often have a tragic past, and have improbable skills which they use to fix all of their problems effortlessly. The author often expects other characters to worship them and denies any negative qualities they may display (selfishness, ignorance, cruelty) or plays off these traits as wildly attractive.

This is commonly considered boring character creation, because there is no room for the character to grow or overcome their weaknesses. As a reader it can be hard to associate with them because they don't need any help, they will always succeed, and their behavior is sometimes very bad, but they don't suffer the consequences.

There are some exceptions but generally, perfect characters or completely 'evil' characters are less interesting than ones with some good, some bad, and some ambiguous traits.

No problem.

There is actually a lot of debate over the definition of a Mary Sue depending on the type of writing.

I tend to leave 'stand in for the author' out, simply because I have read many well written characters serving as the author's stand-in. I do not think projecting oneself into a world is a poor choice so long as one views the character objectively and gives them obstacles and consequences.
