[x]-Extra point for Phineas or Ferb.

Points: 3
[x]Point if they are they in extra activities. (Sports, Firesidegirls, Cheerleaders, etc.)

Points: 4
[ ]-Extra point per if there's more than one.
[ ]-Extra point if they are a leader or lead in said activity. (Chief fireside girl, Head cheerleader, quarterback, etc.)
[x]-Remove points if said activity is key to their story.
PtPG: Well, I'd say that speaking skills is one of the main strong points that Cynthia has. It's not like she has it but never uses it. |D
Points: 3
[ ]Point if they are they romantically focused.
PtPG: Her crush on Ferb is sorta like Isabella's crush on Phineas. The feelings are there, but it's not all she's ever thinking about.
[ ]Point if they have no set focus of their own. (Phineas had inventing, Buford had bullying, etc).
[ ]Point if their love interest is a Mary-Sue or Gary-Stu. (Perfect beautiful sweet girlfriend who never fights or brooding, dark, handsome boyfriend)
Cynthia: Who, Ferb?
PtPG: I don't think so. |'D
[ ]Name 5 character flaws that would be undesirable for a real person to possess. Add a point for every one you can't name. Check this off if you can't name five.
Name Flaws Here:
-Insecure
-Hyperactive
-Clingy
-Loud
-Irritable
[ ]-Extra point if they have "flaws" that are actually beneficial to them.
PtPG: I don't think so
[ ]Point if your character has no weaknesses.
Cynthia: *sighs* Cruel words, I guess I get hurt easily by words. Also, I don't think I can ever do anything out of my own ambition. Somebody has to push me to do things. :/
[ ]Point if your character has no fears.
PtPG: I try to make Cynthia seem brave and loyal and such, but she does have fears. Mainly rejection and loss and also those common things, like spiders, heights, etc.
[ ]Point if your character has the same name (or nickname)/ looks similar to/takes various attributes and traits from its creators.
PtPg: No no, Cynthia's way different from me. She's got some traits I'd wish to have but don't, and I have plenty of traits that's he doesn't have. The only thing we really have in common is that we get kinda crazy sometimes but who the heck doesn't?
[ ]-Extra point if your insert is considered very popular or cool.
[x]Point if your character is very very happy and positive.
PtPG: Yeah, I think she is. Cynthia usually tries to be the happy, optimistic, "cheerer upper" of the group, and it's because the two cousins that she lives with are generally pessimists. She's not uber bouncy all the time, (though sometimes she can be freakishly hyperactive
Points: 4
[ ]-Extra point if they act sad and depressed at random times for no reason.
PtPG: and when she does get upset, there's usually a reason for it, even if it is small. |D
[x]Point if they are a girl who is very girly or a male who is very masculine.
PtPG: *looks Cynthia over* Yeah, I think she is. Pigtails and short skirts seem pretty girly to me.
Points: 5
[x]Point if they get very good grades.
Cynthia: I'm not as smart as Mariah |'D But I usually get A's and B's.
Points: 6
[ ]Point if they have no clear role in the P&F world.
PtPG: Well, she's Ferb's 99999999999th love interest, a friend of Isabella's and the rest of the group, a good speaker and a "cheerer upper " I guess that's good enough.
Cynthia: 9999999999?? D8
[ ]Point if they are the only character in the spotlight.
[ ]-Extra point if the only other character in the spotlight is their romantic interest.
[ ]-Extra point if the only time other characters get spotlight, they are talking about said sue or his/her romantic life.
Cynthia: Why so many questions in a row about romance ? :I There's more to my life than just Ferb, you know
[/]Point if they are the obvious "leader" of the group an all characters are drawn to them.
PtPG: Well, no, I wouldn't say she's a leader, especially since she hangs around Phineas, Isabella, Mariah, etc. But if these people are ever absent, I'd say she has a good leader-type personality.</b>
Points: 6 1/2
[x]Point if they are highly persuasive.
Cynthia: Duh, bro. :I
Points: 7
[/]Point if their skills play little importance to the story. (i.e. "Phineas Jr." can invent, but rarely does)
PtPG: I'm not entirely sure.
Points: 7 1/2
[ ]Point if they are a good singer.
PtPG: She has a pretty strong voice, but it's not made for singing.
[ ]-Remove point if singing is important to the story.
[ ]Point if they have very good fashion sense.
PtPG: Well, she wears miniskirts, but I don't think that qualifies. I mean, you know that red jacket she wears? It's like, her lucky jacket. She never takes it off, even when it's hot outside, and sometimes she even sleeps with it like a stuffed animal .
Cynthia: Shush! >.<
PtPG:
[ ]Point if you find your own character attractive.
[ ]Point if they look exceptionally like both their parents.
PtPG: Actually, I don't know who Cynthia's parents are *hides in a corner in shame*
[ ]Point if "forbidden love" is ever used in their relationship
PtPG: Well, currently, Ferb doesn't like her back but that's not "forbidden," so no.
[ ]Point if their relationship with a character drastically changes either character's attitude or personality.
EXTRA: (Do not add points)
Other hints your character may be sue:
[ ]There's more than one club for their character series
[ ]There is a club for one of the pairings.
[ ]The artist can't handle criticism.
[ ]Artist gets upset over shippings that involve a main character with another character that isn't their OC.
Point Total out of 38: 7 1/2
Scale: Balance Character
0= Anti-Sue
1-11 = Balance Character
12+ = Mary-Sue
PtPG: Huh .not nearly as bad as I expected, but...could be better.
I think I'll do Mariah next













I feel you've got a pretty good score with that logic.
Actually, I feel the test is inaccurate altogether. I just did it with an OC I made awhile ago. She only got 2 points, but it really doesn't tell you anything about her. As he creator, I know how she works, but the test can't properly judge her.
I usually just use this as one of the many characterization tools. Interviews and profiles are the really important ones. After that, it's up to the viewer to decide if the character is a Mary Sue.
So if you didn't think Cynthia was a Mary Sue at the start, chances are, she wasn't anyway.
I actually did think that Cynthia was a Mary Sue.
I should write for again one of these days. Or maybe just draw more pics with her.
...
Idk how, but you've given me a little to think about.
