**waves hand round in the air**...ooh ooh let me answer this....
Mary Sue is any original or deeply altered character who represents a slice of his/her creator's own ego; s/he is treasured by his/her creator but only rarely by anyone else. More negatively, a Mary Sue is a primadonna (usually but not always badly-written) who saps life and realism out of every other character around, taking over the plot and bending canon to serve his/her selfish purposes.

they do tend to be perfect...but most of the time they are so perfect in every way that they are unbelievable and unrealistic, sucking the life out of the surrounding characters. Mary Sues all around the world all serve the one same purpose: wish fulfilment. When a writer invents someone through whom he/she can have fantastic adventures and meet famous people (fictional or real),basically... Mary Sue is any original or deeply altered character who represents a slice of his/her creator's own ego; s/he is treasured by his/her creator but only rarely by anyone else.here's another link as well...it's shorter this time... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mary+sue

Mary Sues tend to be loved - romantically - by multiple characters in their story, as well as immensly liked (platonicly loved) by those who aren't deigned to be a potential love interest. So yes, they are loved by the other characters. And if not loved, then absolutely hated, to add (melo)drama. Cannon characters are often warped to suit one of these dispositions.
As for answering questions, Jay, my reccommendation is that they be answered by anyone who has the ability, knowledge and inclination to do so.
Please don't turn this into a Harry Potter thread.
