In the philosophy of the world of the movie Truman show. play by jim carrey. there is a philosophy sentence said by one of the character christof: "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented, it's as simple as that.". this statement stay true in the naruto crack-fic of imperfect perfection. the character in the story have met a girl who is not from their world who is too perfect to say the least. heck perfect is an understatement to describe the beauty and intelligent this girl possess. yes everyone this character is a Mary Sues.
lets me explain to you all what is a marry sues is. mary sues is a self-insert character base on the fanfiction author in real life. or It just an original character make by the author. this character will often have god moding. which is by the way is just what it name is like, the character can do ANYTHING. solve any problem with ease. to describe the picture here is a snippet from another fanfic on the site about mary sues:
"The new girl stepped forward to be sorted and every male in the room felt his chin hit the floor. Many fainted. She was the most beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, attractive (reaches for thesaurus), striking, lovely, wondrous creature they had ever seen. She had long curly/perfectly straight tresses the color of sun-kissed honey/raven black/burnished copper with highlights of flame/glossy golden sunlight/deep chocolate mahogany, and her eyes were like sapphires/emeralds/rubies/amethysts or as black as the blackest night. She was not too tall or too short nor too skinny nor too heavy. She was perfectly proportioned and toned. She had a fabulous tan. She smiled shyly at the assembled students and they were momentarily blinded by her dazzling straight white teeth." ~ from Harry Potter and the Overdone Plot Devices.
as you can see the character is not natural it is a main character to the max with unbelievable luck and skill. Beauty is included in that packet also.
why in the story the character just pop up in the story out of now where all of a sudden every major character in the story started to like her, like she was the most important thing in the world, they do not question this or talk about how strange this is. it contradict other people perception of them. this affect most of the major character except the main character which is the title all about naruto. he feel unsafe near her, like she shouldn't exist in this world. which is trues she is a self inserted character. this story is about the author poking fun at all of the mary sues fic on the site. that keep spawning every day. it actually is a good read if you know what it is about.
I have never heard about Mary Sues before. It's interesting and pretty accurate. In many books/TV series/etc. there are Mary Sue characters. I just never realized that is what they are called. Cool, learned something new
