Top 10 Characters that are the Biggest Mary-Sues

You know the type. The plot bends over backward, the supporting cast suddenly forgets how to function, and every conflict gets solved by someone who barely had to sweat. A Mary-Sue is not just talented, liked, or lucky, but so oddly protected by the story that drama starts feeling like a decorative throw pillow.

On this list, you get to call out the characters who seem built less like people and more like wish fulfillment wearing a name tag. Vote for the ones who make you mutter, "Oh, come on," when the universe hands them another win.

The Top Ten

Bella Swan (The Twilight Saga)

Definitely a Mary Sue. Everything is about her - her destiny, her love. Everyone loves her when she did nothing at all. She also gets the classic vampire boyfriend, the perfect male version of a Mary Sue. She is a little too shallow of a character. If the author could change her, that would be great.

She has no personality, is very beautiful, is often a useless damsel in distress, and is smart. She only thinks about romance and how tragic her life is.
Felicity Smoak (Arrow)

Felicity Smoak is a DC Comics character who first appeared in The Fury of Firestorm #23 in 1984. She was created by writer Gerry Conway and artist Rafael Kayanan. Although initially a minor character in the comics, Felicity became a central figure in the Arrowverse TV shows, particularly in Arrow, where... read more

She absorbed Thea and Laurel's roles over the third and fourth seasons. After the Crisis on Earth-X crossover, Felicity became the most disliked character in the entire Arrowverse fandom for interrupting Barry and Iris' wedding vows by making it a double wedding.
What made this worse is that Felicity spent many of her scenes during the crossover refuting marriage with Oliver and acting like a drama queen about it. It was widely despised and regarded as a selfish and egotistical act on Felicity's part.

Honestly, I like Felicity. But I haven't watched the Arrow series, just The Flash and Supergirl, so maybe that's why I don't find her annoying.
Barbie (Barbie)

No denying this. She is the classic perfect girl that everyone wants to be. She gets the guy, is very rich, good at everything, super beautiful, and does every single job imaginable. I think that was the whole point of her character since everyone else in the franchise has flaws - besides Ken.

Why isn't this higher on the list? Pretty much the most perfect girl, who's friends with everyone, is rich, has an awesome life, and is dating the most popular guy.

Yes - the ultimate Mary Sue that is not from fanfic. She is perfect in every way: body size, friends, the things she does. Plus, she has a boyfriend and another guy going after her.
Twilight Sparkle (My Little Pony)

Twilight Sparkle is the primary main character of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She is a female unicorn pony who transforms into an Alicorn and becomes a princess in the episode Magical Mystery Cure. Her character is known for her intelligence, love of books, and leadership qualities.

Oh my gosh, such a Mary Sue. I mean, why make another alicorn princess? We already had three. And don't even get me started on how bad a friend she is. Plus, she always steals the spotlight in most episodes. Enough said. Twilight is pretty much the biggest Mary Sue ever created in the history of TV and DVDs.

Reasons why I love Twilight:
She is pretty, smart, and intelligent.
She is better than Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer.
She has flaws but is still the best.
She believes in friendship.
She is the most powerful.
Guys, Twilight is totally the best. Thus, she is a Mary Sue.
Amber (The Prophecy of the Stones)
Asriel Dreemurr (Undertale)

Asriel Dreemurr is a character in the 2015 video game Undertale, created by Toby Fox.
He is the biological child of King Asgore Dreemurr and Queen Toriel, but he was believed to have died before the game's events. In the True Pacifist Route, where the player spares every character, Asriel's backstory... read more
SpongeBob SquarePants (SpongeBob SquarePants)

SpongeBob SquarePants is a fictional character and the titular protagonist of the American animated television series of the same name. SpongeBob is known for his bright optimism and naive, childish tendencies. He often gets into trouble in Bikini Bottom.... read more
Apple White (Ever After High)

She's perfect in every way. Everyone loves her. This is also because she is Snow White's daughter, so she kind of has to be this way a bit. But yeah, she's a Mary Sue.

She never did much to gain all the attention she had. She was simply born perfect. I'll take literally anyone over this one-dimensional character.

As Apple being a Mary Sue, the other royals like Holly, Briar, and Ashlynn were surely annoyed.
Chloe Carmichael (The Fairly OddParents)

She is, hands down, what killed the show. Sparky the Dog put it on life support, but her inclusion made it end lightning-fast. I don't understand why they couldn't have Chester share Timmy's fairies instead, which would make infinitely more sense considering how he's an established character.
Honestly, the show should've ended with either Channel Chasers or the Wishology trilogy. Both have finale material written all over them. Danny Phantom has aged better in comparison because it knew when to end.

I literally don't see the reason why they would even add her to the show. Like, what?
Sofia (Sofia the First)

Sofia is the protagonist of the animated television series Sofia the First. She becomes a princess after her mother marries King Roland II. Sofia embodies kindness, courage, and adaptability as she faces the challenges of royal life and learns important lessons about friendship, leadership, and responsibility... read more

She is such a Mary Sue! The only ones who hate or simply dislike her do so out of envy. She is always pretty, the only one with crazy magical powers, and her backstory is literally that she was a normal girl who suddenly became a princess for no reason.
In this era, marriages in royalty were 100% political. If a king fell in love with a poor woman, he would be with her by cheating on his wife. His wife, by the way, would be a princess from another kingdom who had to marry him to avoid a war. Both the king and queen would be forced into the marriage, so there was no love between royal couples during this time. Saying that the king married a poor woman is completely unrealistic for that era.
Plus, Sofia's reaction was like, "Oh, I'm a princess. Cool." Did I mention that her brother is in love with her?

Bloom (Winx Club)

The Contenders

Anastasia Steele (Fifty Shades of Grey)

Anastasia "Ana Steele" Grey is the fictional protagonist of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy written by E.L. James. She is a literature student who becomes romantically involved with the wealthy businessman Christian Grey. The character is portrayed by Dakota Johnson in the film adaptations released... read more
Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way (My Immortal)

Okay, get her to #1 and Stargleam to #2. The biggest Mary Sues in the history of fanfiction!

COME ON, this is the DEFINITION of a Mary Sue! The author completely transforms the entire franchise just to mold it into the image of THIS CHARACTER. Ebony is loved by everyone and never fails. She may not be "good," and she may be "goff," but these qualities are not actually used to hinder her in the plot, just to romanticize her.
Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones (Alice-Miranda)

Yes, she has flaws, but she is very rich, spoiled, "smart" for her age, and always wins.
Rey (Star Wars)

Rey is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise and is portrayed by British actress Daisy Ridley. She made her first appearance as the central protagonist in the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Rey begins as a solitary scavenger on the desert planet Jakku, where she was abandoned as... read more

How are Sofia the First and Twilight Sparkle ranked above Rey?
Rey, who defeats experts while being a novice, is somehow smarter than everyone else, and has no growth throughout the movie. The only character worse is Mulan from Mulan (2020), who's an insult to the heroic and hardworking Mulan from Mulan (1998).

I initially liked Rey. I never saw her as a Mary Sue, but then not so long ago, my brother told me that in the novelization of The Force Awakens (which is apparently canon), when Rey read Kylo's mind, she downloaded from his brain into hers the information on how to use the Force (something like that). Now that's just too far.
Jazz Fenton (Danny Phantom)

Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton is a fictional character in the American animated series Danny Phantom, created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. She is the intelligent and protective older sister of the show's protagonist, Danny Phantom. Jazz plays a key role in supporting her brother as he navigates his ghost-fighting... read more

She's bossy and thinks she's always right. Plus, she's overprotective and tries to act like an adult. Still a good character, but she has flaws.

Do you see any physical similarities to Candace Flynn from Phineas and Ferb? Well, the hair at least.
Stargleam (Starkit's Prophecy)

Whaaat? How dare you! Stargleam is the most majestic creature ever to grace our planet Earth!

Um, you do realize if she became a Clan leader, her name would be Starstar?
Lila Rossi (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir)

Lila Rossi is a major antagonist from Miraculous Ladybug, also known by her akumatized forms as "Volpina" and "Chameleon." In her civilian identity, she is one of Marinette Dupain-Cheng's main rivals and is also one of Ladybug's most persistent enemies. Lila is manipulative and frequently deceives others... read more

She is like the villain version of a Mary Sue: annoying, lies, popular in the beginning, and nothing seems good about her. They portray her as more evil than she should be. She has to have something good, at least. Nothing is just black and white.

I couldn't stand her from the moment she walked on the screen. I really like her character design, but she's just such a god-awful character that one can't help but hate her.

The fact that she almost ruined Adrienette will not make her a better person.
Minnie Mouse (Mickey Mouse)

Minerva "Minnie" Mouse is a cartoon character created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney. She was first drawn by Iwerks in 1928, at the same time as Mickey Mouse. Her former voice actor, Russi Taylor (1944 to 2019), voiced her for 30 years and was married to Wayne Allwine (1947 to 2009), the former voice of... read more

Minnie Mouse isn't a Mary Sue! She's such a sweetheart!
Hatsune Miku (Vocaloid)

Hatsune Miku, sometimes referred to as Miku Hatsune, is a humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer application developed by Crypton Future Media. She is part of the Vocaloid software series and uses Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid technology. Miku has become a global virtual pop icon, performing... read more

Some of her portrayals are indeed Mary Sues, such as Michaela from the Story of Evil series. Ugh, I hate Michaela because she gets everything and has almost everyone licking her shoes. The only real problem she gets is only because she is so great, and she gets shoehorned into the center of everything for no apparent reason while she's just a minor character. And the very, very, very few crowd who hate her only hate her because they're jealous of how amazing and godly she is.

Yup, yup. The songs are not even that good, just fast-paced, and you can't understand a single word without a subtitle. The other versions of Hatsune Miku are just basically Hatsune with different hair colors. Very boring and lazy design. And the same facial expressions and movements Hatsune performs on stage are just too cringy and creepy.
Glimmer (The Hunger Games)
Lucy Pevensie (The Chronicles of Narnia)

Lucy Pevensie is a fictional character in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia series. She is the youngest of the four Pevensie children and the first to discover the Wardrobe entrance to Narnia in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Lucy is known for her unwavering faith and courage throughout the... read more

I voted for her because she is a big Mary Sue, but I don't think she's annoying. I don't know why, but she seems cute and innocent to me.
Raven Queen (Ever After High)

It's always the kids' show characters.
Lola Loud (The Loud House)

Lola Loud is a fictional character from The Loud House and is the third youngest child in the Loud family. She is the younger twin sister of Lana and is known for being arrogant, smart-mouthed, spoiled, and a tattle-tale.
Despite her selfish behavior, Lola shows compassion in many situations.... read more

Not at all. Just look at her description. Lola has flaws.
Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on Titan)

Mikasa Ackerman is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Attack on Titan, also known by its Japanese title Shingeki no Kyojin. Created by Hajime Isayama, she is one of the main characters and serves as a close companion and protector of Eren Jaeger. Mikasa is known for her exceptional combat... read more

A lot of people seem to like her. I don't. There are a lot of Mary Sue characters in Attack on Titan, in my opinion, but specifically, she comes to mind. Overpowered, boring, can do anything and everything perfectly? Just because of her depressing backstory? Don't come at me on this one, but she genuinely sucks.
Aoi Hidaka (Jūsō Kikō Dancouga Nova)
