She's definitely NOT a Mary Sue!

She might have some qualities, but she still has her faults.

I know! There are plenty of other female characters that have just as many qualities as Rose does, but Rose is called a Sue probably because of her association with Martin.

That is why I say she is not a Sue.

Why does it say my vote was yes!? There's no definition that could possibly include Rose in this type of character!  :o

QuoteMary Sue stories—the adventures of the youngest and smartest ever person to graduate from the academy and ever get a commission at such a tender age. Usually characterized by unprecedented skill in everything from art to zoology, including karate and arm-wrestling....She saves the day by her wit and ability, and, if we are lucky, has the good grace to die at the end, being grieved by the entire ship.

Since when are Wiki's the end all?  ::) seriously, a real Mary Sue by a natural definition (not one specifically crafted just so Rose could be counted  :P) wouldn't, "die."

Nope. Tiria was a Sue. Martha was a Sue. Mariel was a Sue. Lonna was a Sue. Triss was a complete and total Sue (she was such a Sue it hurts).

Laterose? Hardly sue-ish in my eyes.

Well, I'm not sure if Martin II was a sue, but I agree completely with everyone else on that list, ecspesually Triss.

I really like that hare, idk what book... Brocktree, I think. The one who got kicked out of Sala. Maudie, I think. She acted like she was a Sue, but wasn't very Sue-ish :P
