The Writer's Mary Sue Test

Of course this is a rp, where not all the questions can really
apply. I kinda found this quiz while randomly browsing.
HTML http://www.katfeete.net/writing/marysue.html
Reiyanne is only a little like you. She may be popular, or she
may not, but no matter what she's impossible to ignore; she
stands out... just the way you always wanted to. She may have
sometimes thought that she was special, or destined for greater
things, but probably dismissed the idea as a fantasy. She's come
in for her share of hurt, but gotten off with minor damage. And
you've been sparing with the free handouts: whatever she gains,
she's worked for.
In general, you care deeply about Reiyanne, but you're smart
enough to let her stand on her own, without burdening her with
your personal fantasies or propping her up with idealization and
over-dramatization. Reiyanne is a healthy character with a
promising career ahead of her.

I sorta lied on some things... Somewhat accurate, cept I don't
spoil her and she loses alot of fights. ROFL
Rayya Zavran isn't a character: she's you, or you as you'd like
to be. She is so impossibly hip that she has difficulty seeing
over her own pelvis; she'll probably die young, but damn, will
it have been a good life. She'd have to be pretty dense to miss
the signs that she is destined for great things; she can hardly
take a walk without tripping over a sword in a stone or a
mysterious old woman wanting to tell her fortune. She's had more
than her fair share of hard knocks, and probably spends more
time than she ought moaning about it. And you, her creator, have
spoilt her rotten and given her everything she wanted.
You identify far too heavily with Rayya Zavran, and defend her
from all sides, never realizing that in your quest to make her
perfect you are alienating your readers. Back off and take a
break. Try writing the story from the viewpoint of a different
character, one you have less sympathy with... or writing a
different story and coming back to this one.
