Kilshandra of Anne McCaffery fame may be one, more or less, but not horribly.
The worst. The absolute worst. The one that made me believe in the phenomenom (doo-doo-de-doo-doo) is...*shudder*
Rhapsody (http://www.amazon.com/Rhapsody-Child-Blood-Elizabeth-Haydon/dp/0812570812)
She's a half-elf thing whose singing can magically change things. She's already gorgeous, but at one point, she does the impossible and the result is all of her "impurities" burning away and her being so lovely that people stop and stare. She constinantly assumes it must be because she's ugly or strange looking, despite being constantly told otherwise and confronted with mirrors, etc etc.
But all those are just vague examples. Quick descriptions can make anyone sound like a Mary Sue. To understand the true "I WANT TO STAB HER, WHY DO THOSE ASSASINATION ATTEMPTS NEVER SUCCEED?! WHY WHY WHY?!?!" you must read the book(s).
The sad thing is, I'd still say it's absolutely worth it, despite her painfully being the main character, because Achmed and Grunthor, her constant companions, are pure gold and I wish there would just be a book about Achmed already, because noone cares about Ashe.
Sorry, that rant got long. It's just every time people say that a Mary Sue should only be limited to fanfiction...there's really no other word for Rhapsody. Canon_Sue may be rarer than most people think, but they're absolutely real.
no subject
But I've recently decided that I'm going to now forgo using the term "Mary Sue" ever again, since nobody seems to be able to decide what the real criteria are, and it's getting so... political, for lack of a better term. Now I'm going to cite characters as "well written" or "poorly written", "realistic" or "unrealistic", because that's really mostly what it comes down to, isn't it?
