@RalekTheOne How can Melissa be Mary Sue when she hardly has any magic powers, not particularly bright, has no charm, and not talented in anything else other than the sword? Also, apart from her "people" (Nine, Yuri, Yona, the servants of the manor), everybody in this world still hates her. Mary sue is a character that everyone adores for no reason at all, much like the heroine in a romance story. Mary Sues are also good at everything without trying. You could argue that her being talented in swordsmanship makes her Mary Sue, but even then, she has so many other flaws that the title doesn't fit at all. Even the fact that she's good at festival games has a reason because "she snuck out to play them". Now, if she was the perfect student with perfect grades and STILL good at games, THAT would be a Mary Sue
