Top 10 Worst Mary Sues In Fanfiction
You've seen them. You've cringed at them. You've maybe even rage-quit a fanfic because of them. These are the Mary Sues so aggressively over-the-top they practically bend the laws of storytelling around their sparkly, emotionally damaged orphans with a secret destiny.
This is the list where you call them out. Vote for the characters that made you want to slam your laptop shut.

Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way
Everything the many readers of My Immortal said is absolutely true. Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way is the epitome of a bad OC. Not only is she unbearably whiny to the point of making any reader shoot themselves in the head, but she's also treated like she's God's greatest gift. Not to mention, she's an insult to the goth sub-culture.
Basically the original Sue. She's got everyone in love with her, is absolutely perfect in every way, dresses in way-too-revealing clothes, everyone who hates her is punished, and she is way too overpowered.

Cleo Kapenelli
I just read her yesterday and WOW does this 13-year-old teenager not know what a Mary Sue is. She said it's someone who is impossible to kill, and hers isn't just because she's REALLY x( insert number here ) HARD TO KILL! She is the exact definition of both arrogant and stupid.
Just... just no. If you make a Mary Sue, can you at least respect the English language while you're at it?
A lazy recolor created by an obnoxious 13-year-old.

Twila Beautiful Psycho Topaz Cullen
She and her 'true love' marry by surprise, she kills Bella then eats her bed to hide the evidence, states she is not a 'trol' but a 'vampyre', Alice turns into a 'Psycho Lesbian' for one chapter, and she has topaz eyes (hence her fourth name). God, this is just a troll fic.
Words alone cannot express the brain cells I lost reading this fic. Probably because I lost the use of words along with every word I read.
She calls Tara Gilesbie a 'grate riter.' Do I really need to say anything else? 'Twila the girl who waz in love with a Vampyre' truly is a Sue masterpiece.

Rey
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
Oh. My. God... Rey should be number one! She beat a trained Sith regardless of his injuries and knows the Falcon better than Han himself! Don't even get me started on how she knows the Force, and how can she fly a ship if she was on Jakku her entire life! Rey is ruining Star Wars for me, never let Disney take control...
One of the most shallow and poorly conceived characters. It's like she has the ability to drain the skills and abilities of people around her and be good at what they do.
Her picture is next to the definition of Mary Sue. How hard would it have been to compile a couple of training montages?
-
Bloom Luna
She's dating everyone across multiple universes and doesn't even look like she belongs in the universe of FNAF or the Puella Magi series! And her creator is a huge jerk and weeb who only says "Foxy-kun!" and "Nya!" and obsesses over the stupid brogres.
She is the biggest Sue ever! I was surprised she isn't number one!
Just found her today and I hate her.
-
Starkit
Starkit is a beautiful, bright purple she-cat with rainbow or molten orange eyes and a perfect white star on her forehead.
She has a mother named Dawnsparkle, who was from ShadowClan, and a medicine cat named Jayfeather. Her mentor is Firestar. There is nothing wrong with that, but she attacked Blackstar without any training. How are you supposed to know that? She even beat Firestar eight times in a row.
She has an obvious prophecy, which was, "Out of the darkness, stars will come and get rid of the evil tiger and holly."
She has many cats wanting to be her mate: Firestar (the author of this fanfic ruined him a lot), Graystripe, Blackstar, Ashfur, and Hawkfrost.
When she marries Hawkfrost, she gets killed by a lightning strike. She gets reincarnated as Starkit and literally has Tigerstar and Hollyleaf as her parents. Here is the problem. Hollyleaf was never evil, and she would not love Tigerstar.
When Redfur and Lakepool (the best couple in Starkit's Prophecy ever) adopt Starkit, she whines about them being lesbians. That is so wrong. I cannot stand homophobia at all. Starkit, you crossed the line.
After that, the author announced that she was a lesbian and changed the commandments to not be homophobic. I like that. Then Stargleam and Jazzsong become mates (I like that idea), and they have three kits: Tigerkit, Fluffykit, and Firekit.
Stargleam becomes evil just to make Tigerkit proud. What are you, Hawkfrost?
Then she destroys all evil forces flawlessly. The author just worships her like a goddess and compares her to Jesus. I do not know why she added human religion into a Warrior Cats fanfic, but she apparently had to. The author will not let you have an opinion.

Bella Swan
Bella Swan is a terrible role model for girls and is in an abusive relationship based on lust, not love. Also, she is kind of rude and acts openly mortified when people do nice things for her. I don't really think she thought about how she hurt other people.
I would award her the Maryest of Mary Sues, but her daughter took that title from her. Now she's just a Mary Sue famous for being popular and the worst writing in history. I'd almost argue that she doesn't belong here because she's not a fanfiction-created character, but let's be honest: the entire Twilight Saga is basically just a crappy fanfic that had the misfortune of getting published and out to the public.
-
Reicheru
Reicheru is hilarious and so...out there. She gave birth in a Mexican restaurant to a god and went back to school like nothing happened. She is related to a lot of people and got knocked up by Inuyasha...and for some reason, Goku is her father? And Korra can make rock dildos?
Half vampire, half demon, killed her mother when she was a baby, lives in an anime world with Inuyasha, Korra, and many more, and eventually gives birth to a goddess. That's a Sue right there.
Some unknown abomination that is apparently an all-powerful goddess who cheats on Denmark with Inuyasha yet nobody calls her out or cares. Amazing.
-
Princess Elizabeth the Hedgehog
This character is as atrocious as her creator's behavior - both need to be sealed away for the safety of humanity.
One of the more well-known characters in Mary Sue-dom. Awful design, awful bio, awful creator.
-
Atlantiana "Tiana" Rebekah Loren
She's just as bad as Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. I'm serious. For anyone who doesn't believe me, read Forbidden Fruit: The Temptation of Edward Cullen. Ugh.
Falls in love with Edward, long name, ridiculously pretty, constantly denies being pretty, the usual Sue traits.

Ivypool
Ivypool is a fictional silver-and-white tabby she-cat in Erin Hunter's Warrior Cats book series. She is the sister of Dovewing and the daughter of Whitewing and Birchfall. Ivypool becomes a spy in the Dark Forest and later returns to ThunderClan, eventually serving as deputy under Squirrelstar. Her mate... read more

Ginny Weasley
Ginny Weasley is a central character in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. She is the youngest child and only daughter of the Weasley family. Initially introduced as a shy girl with a crush on Harry Potter, Ginny evolves into a strong, independent young woman.... read more
She was so much better in the books. All you haters, go read the books for God's sake! She was a little feisty girl who was a major geek over Harry Potter. She became good at Quidditch only because she stole her brother's brooms and practiced. I bet she failed millions of times before she was even able to get a foot in the air.
Being able to cough is in her blood! Have you noticed that Ron was able to imitate Bloody Baron? Her only friends were Luna and Hermione. Come on, how many boys liked her before Harry? Two! And they were really shaky relationships.
Really tough, funny, and skilled? If you're saying she's boring for that, you're basically hating on Harry and Ron. Ron and Fred and George and Charlie were awesome at Quidditch as well! Talented witch? The Golden Trio were that too! She trained as well. You're hating on Hermione by saying this!
In the movies, Harry and Ginny's relationship was shallow and stupid, kind of like the way that Ron was portrayed as stupid comic relief! In the books, it built up right from the time that Ginny stood up for him when she was twelve. A Mary Sue? No way! Not in the books she isn't!
-
Jenna Silverblade
This would have been a great and interesting story if it was about Jenna usurping Princess Zelda. But no, it was wasted on tiger sex motifs!
Tigers this, tigers that. Jenna is so annoying and too perfect!
-
Nina the Killer
An obvious result of fangirls writing a self-insert. It's glaringly obvious just by looking at her name. I know little about her except her appearance, but I can tell she's not going to be liked by me.
Ah, yes. Now we move on to this physical manifestation of every Jeff the Killer fangirl's "wet dreams." Sadly, if this girl met Jeff, she would probably be found days later in a body bag.
I like Jane a lot better than her. And Nina's ponytail makes her look like Kyoko Sakura from Madoka Magica.
-
Ariana Black
Nothing goes wrong for this girl! She has "superpowers" as an empath (what the HELL is an empath?!), everyone loves her, Voldemort (yes, Voldemort) decided she was more important than Harry and went after her instead...the list goes on and on. And she actually admits that she's better than everyone else. I would like her to just die in a fire.
-
Dark Yagami
Seriously? Dark Yagami? That is obviously just Light Yagami turned dark.
Related to a canon character and everyone loves him. I haven't read this fic in a while, though.
Absolutely deserves to be here. Maybe even a bigger Sue/Stu than Enoby, but the fic is so convoluted that nobody can really tell.
-
Brellisia Sparkel
Literally the worst, a newcomer (only like two days old, lol), and already awful. The creator is ten years old, and when she was told that she had to be thirteen, she started lying and saying that she was 13.
Just looked up this piece of crap. I want to die.
Just... look her up on DeviantArt. Huge Sue.
-
Sonichu
Sonichu is a fan-made character created by Christine Weston Chandler, also known as Chris-Chan. The character is a fusion of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu and has become central to a widely known internet phenomenon. Although some fans describe Sonichu as extremely powerful, such claims are subjective... read more
Now we move on to the fictional surrogate son of Christian Weston Chandler. Sonichu once started off as a humble but flawed unintentional parody of Marvel and DC's Amalgam Comic series. However, due to his narrow-mindedness, overblown ego, and inability to take criticism, it quickly devolved into an edgy, self-centered power fantasy that deserved every criticism it received.
As for Sonichu, the character, he is the walking definition of a Gary-Stu: he is morally bankrupt, yet everyone in his hometown idolizes him. He is overpowered in terms of in-universe characters and is one of the subjects of an "Ancient Prophecy."
In short, stay away from the original Sonichu comic, and instead, read its many remakes and deconstructions. They are far more interesting.
-
Sara Star
Listen to this, folks! She's a shinobi, stronger than legendary Pokémon, half demon, half angel, has the same name as the author, is the richest person in the whole world, and is best friends with canon characters. She was abandoned by her parents and all that jazz! Isn't she perfect?
-
Kara Suman Hamilton
If this isn't a troll Sue, the author needs mental help. She's overpowered, described as "your average 1800s girl" despite wearing a miniskirt! Burn this horrid trash heap.
-
Jessica Hawk
Hunger Games OC, as good as Katniss and Gale, lives with the Everdeens, her traits are extremely sueish, is dating Gale, uses very overused weapons, has a very overused District and backstory, and she's so good she could have fixed the entire plot by volunteering and killing everyone the first day. Dear god.
-
Alex
The creator is awful, and the character got pregnant at 13, apparently. Also a self-insert, a goth, a diclonius, a Panty and Stocking recolor, and dating guys who are way too old for her.
Damn. My name's Alex and I'm starting to feel ashamed of using it...
The only thing I'm okay with is the name, and even that's overused to oblivion.
-
Elena Gilbert
"Every road leads back to Elena" and ruins every character involved with her. Her death would contribute a lot more than any of her status as a doppelgänger.
-
Hayley Marshall
-
Angel McCloud Madain Aran
Obviously one of the WORST so far! She has the most cliché and ridiculous backstory, non-flawed body, her adoptive parent is Samus Aran but is an Arctic Vixen/angel, and she's Fox McCloud's wife. She HATES Krystal and wants to call her out every time she makes a story. She is probably the most terrible self-insert in fanfiction.
-
Renesmee Carlie Cullen
You thought Bella was a Mary Sue? Well, have you met her daughter? She is the most perfect specimen. At first, she's the most unique creature to exist, but then she's demoted to the most unique creature of her species. Everyone who meets her falls in love almost at a cult status.
She can never get hurt, never throws a tantrum, and never does anything but exist, yet everyone treats her like the second coming of Jesus. To me, no one will trump this blatant Mary Sue who is there only because of lazy writing and antiquated gender roles.
