what's wrong with being pretty and getting the handsome guy? I don't see anything wrong with that.

Besides that: Tiria was the best slinger in the history of Redwall, she was friends with everyone (except the baddies of course ;)) She got to slay the head honcho of the evil dudes, she got all the special equipment (The shark hide sling, feather weight armor, Corins lance ect.) everything always worked out for her, and she was always such a perfect missy.

Its that she was pretty, randomly amazing with the sling, super smart, friends with everyone, pretty fearless, got the guy... and to top it off, she couldn't be skipper of otters, but that's ok because she just happened to be the queen of Green Isle, and not because she really earned the title.

I don't hate her character, but that's why she's technically a Mary Sue.

So you're basically saying that a Mary Sue is a character who gets whatever they want without having to work for it.

If you Wikipedia Mary Sue it should answer any other questions you have.

Back in topic, my vote goes to Mattimeo.

We'd have to be missing our tongues to be missing our taste... Please explain.

Flandor, she didn't 'get the guy'. If she did, my username would be Lady Amber.

Actually, she was great with a sling because she'd been using it since she was little.  And I agree with Tiria(the forum user)'s post above: how did she 'get the guy'?

My bad about the getting the guy comment.  I still stand that she was pretty, loved by everyone, polite and smart, incredible with a sling, and became a queen just because.  How many characters do we know who trained with a sling since they were young? A whole lot.  None of them could have done what she did, or frankly even come close.

She still fits the Sue description to me.  She's not the only Redwall character who does, but she is the one who stood out most to me (after Melanda MacBurl).  I still like her, I was just explaining what was Sue-ish about her.

And we're completely off-topic.
