Mary Sue traits could mean anything on the Mary Sue litmus test (which is something I HATE, since it's virtually impossible to write a character without at least SOME of them).

Take Tamora Pierce's Alanna, for example. She's described as having purple eyes (something that the author is now a little embarrassed about), which is a big warning flag for Mary Sues, and yet the character is certainly NOT a Mary Sue.

And yet because of these eyes, I've seen a few people call her a Mary Sue, disregarding everything else about her character by mistaking a single trait for a complete definition.

If you don't have any of those traits on those litmus tests the character would just be flat and boring honestly. You need some sort of interesting backstory/skill/looks otherwise they are just kind of unmemorable. Or the female equivalent of the guy martin freeman always plays.

Well exactly. That's why it's so annoying to see the left hand girls (and Ginny Weasley, Mary Crawley, Katsa from "Graceling", any recent Doctor Who companion and numerous others) so casually dismissed as Sues.
