Alright, I recently came up with the idea for a new LotR RP character, and I'm a bit worried if one apect of her history would cause others to consider her a Mary Sue. She is not exceptionally beautiful or skilled in anyway (except in hunting), but I wanted to have her be a sort of lost child of Denethor II and his wife Finduilas. And of course by extension her siblings would be Boromir and Faramir. I have no plans for her to ever meet her family, but I just need some opinions concerning whether or not having her be of royal blood would place her in the Mary Sue catagorey. Any and all comments will be very appreciated. |

I'm not a Mary-Sue expert, but as long as she has some flaws, then she should be fine. I like the idea, though. |

I like the idea, though. Okay, thank you very much. I'm just trying to make sure... Anyone have any other thoughts? |

There's a "Mary-Sue litmus test", the link's somewhere's about here-I'll go try to find it. Anyway, I don't think she sounds too Mary-Sue-icidal (love that word. lol). Like Shadowcat said, as long as she has flaws, she should be fine. Edit: Here's the test! http://www.springhole.net/quizzes/marysue.htm |

Ha...Sue-icidal. I love that. :] Thank you so much for posting that link, not only was it quite entertaining, it also helped me realize how much "worse" you could get in making a character. Anyway, this character got a 14 which according to this test is in this range: 0-15 Points Your character should be fine at this level.
