I don't use that test anymore. It takes AGES and at the end it shouts 'MARY-SUE!!!!' at you. D;

I haven't read much on Misha but so far I'm liking her! She ain't no Plain Jane from where I'm standing. *wags finger*

Buuu~ Thankies~ ^w^
Still, I think it's weird how I manage to make all of my characters different enough so that they're still interesting, yet not Mary Sue standard (according to the quiz). P: I even took it for my first OC ever, which was a Tokyo Mew Mew character... She got a 36, while my friend's OC (made for the same RP) got a 234. -rubs chin- I went over board with my TMM OC, though. She was good at almost everything. >_<;;

I took the quiz for two of my caracters just now, cause they're two of my favourite // they're twins and they have a really complicated past and story
And they only got 18 and 17.
Maybe none of my characters are interesting

>: Well, they're better than 6 and -4... More interesting.
You know what I think? If you score low, and you're SURE they're not plain janes, it means your character is even more original. >DDD Because the quiz-maker didn't think about the characters we made.

*rubs chin* I think ALL characters have at least ONE Sue-ish quality, but it depends on how you amplify it and use it to how much it makes them a Mary Sue. Just because your characters got low scores doesn't mean they're not interesting. It's a matter of opinion anyways. They could just be well-rounded characters who make do with the little they have.

Hmm... Touché. But really, the quiz doesn't mean much unless you're really happy with your characters, and don't feel they're a Mary Sue.

I took it with a few more characters. And my friend did some of hers
And from the lowest the scores our characters got were
1, 4, 5, 8, 15, 16, 17

Not ALL of your characters can be plain..! So that HAS to mean they're more thought-up and original than others. Y:

So this damn quiz had been bugging me.
I took it again with Mainn. And completely left out her story that she was based on. Just kept in the crucial stuff like "she thought she was responsible for her mother's death but she really wasn't" yadda yadda yadda..
19. OH FINE. 26 if you count all the boxes for the languages she speaks. But she's an f*cking linguist, it's her JOB. I don't think those counts. >:I
So if I take her out of her story and do away with plot devices, she's not a mary-sue. WTF. whatevz. XD

I think we can all deem this test silly. The quiz is basically telling you to have a charrie like this:
Her/his name is Jane/Joe. He/she 21 and they look 21/older. He/she works in an office. He/she has a cat/dog. Nothing out of the ordinary happened in Jane's/Joe's life. Jane/Joe dies of old age and is not revived. The end.
No thank you. :/

*raises hand* Ke's life is pretty normal if you don't count the whole girl-who-looks-like-a-boy factor C8 XD

I think you mean 'girl-who-looks-like-a-guy'...but that's just a typo I'm positive. XD
That's what some authors call 'spicing' your characters. Making them pretty ordinary but then adding bits of it here and there to make it not TOTALLY boring. Me? I like to make my characters ornate. Something on them that you'd look at and be 'Oh! That's ____!' C:
