Adolecent Mary Sue-ness!
Jan. 27th, 2004 12:36 pmI came across this yesterday while cleaning my room. I must have been 13 or 14 when I created this character. She was actually supposed to represent my friend (because we did that - made character avatars for each other in all our stories), but damn, is she a Mary Sue. I'm typing this up as-is, complete with spelling errors. My (current) comments are in [brackets]
[Note: Greenville is a little town up in the woods somewhere, with houses that are actually in amongst the trees, I guess because I thought that would be nifty]
Rebecca Dain Adams age - 16 [looks like I originally wrote 14, then changed it]
hight - 5'1"
weight - 110-115 lb
Hair - Auburn [I think half my characters were redheads back then]
eyes - clear greenblue
Distinct features - eyes like water [wouldn't they drip out of her head?], telecaneces [woo, spelling!], shinny dark hair, far sighted
History - Rebecca discoverd and started exercising her telecaneces when she was 9. Her mother, Dain Ann Adams, also has telecaneces but her abilitys were supresed [how, I didn't say]. Becky figures that the telecaneces started with her Great-Great-Great-Grandmother, who was the first one with the name Dain [it's all about the name]. All the families from her after have had 1 girl and named her Dain. All the other children have been boys. The telecaneces is past [and present and future!] from mother to daughter. Becky's is the strongist so far [of course]. She has a brother, Brian, who is 11. her father, James Adams, wanted his children to have normal first names, so Dain ended up as Becky's middle name [I have no idea where the name "Dain" came from]. Her family moved to Greenville a month after she turned 12. They live a little wase out of the town, but closer than the Aarons.
Personality - Rebecca is shy but can get along with almost anyone. She has troubble starting conversations, but she wont back out of one. Becky doesn't want to be popular, For her, having a few good friends is enough. She loes to read and enjoys fantacy books [Mary Sue alert! Mary Sue alert!]. her favorate music adut contemperary, but she also likes clasicle and oldies [maybe she even likes adult contemporary and classical]. She also writes music and poetry. She will sometimes wake up with a song in her head and have to write it down before she forgets it [because having telekinesis - or telecaneces, rather - isn't amazing enough]. Becky also enjoys drawing pictures of people and still lifes [Mary Sue! Mary Sue!]. Some of her dreams come true in a wierd way [because, again, "telecaneces" isn't enough]. Becky also plays the piano, but mainly so she can write her songs. She thinks best in cool night air when she's looking at the stars. She sais the stars gives [*snerk* grammar are my friend] her answers [cue romantic music!]. "Her" star is one that only shows up in the fall. So far Rebecca has never had a real close friends [only a fake close friends I guess], and she has alwase wanted one. She hates crouded places [Mary Sue!] and thats one reason she and her family moved to Greenville [nice of her family to accommodate her like that]. She wairs contacts instead of glasses so she can say they're why her eyes look like drops of water [this wasn't all that long after I read The Girl With the Silver Eyes]
[I guess as far as Mary Sues go, she isn't too terrible. Just funny.]
