I actually decided to take the Mary Sue Litmus Test to see how EVE would do. She got a 49. Although, granted, WALL-E got a 48 and they're the main characters so they're almost expected to be the "perfect" character, especially in a Disney movie. They do need to make their personalities simplistic enough for a kid to understand.

Now, I also took the test for Auto because I was thinking he's sorta ridiculously overpowered (although, I do see why: he does, after all, need to control everything on the ship; that's his job), his score's going to be OVER 9000. I mean, wheels with tazers and that can turn the ship at crazy angles at important moments who is more-than-willing to kill just strikes me as "Sue!" or at least "Sue-esque" but, evidently, I was wrong because he got a 9. I'm guessing the lack-of-personality thing helped him out a bit.

Out of curiosity, I also did McCrea and he was -1. I guess not being able to walk and being a blimp merits a negative score.

Long story short, sure those Litmus tests are good for some things, but I'm not 100% sure they're totally accurate. I mean, the villain who can literally do anything because he's completely in control of the entire landscape gets a much lower score than the cute little protagonist who's main goal is to fall in love after spending 700 years alone, picking up trash? That's not making sense to me. Because they're not human/humanoid, the rules for Sue are slightly different I think.

So, yeah, EVE personality analysis = fail.

I've seen some great analysis of EVE's personality and character development, actually. Not in that secret concerning her, though.

As a fun fact, I was planning a story once, and decided to take the litmus test for some of the characters. A socially awkward, not-so-bright, unattractive nerd/geek guy who has the worst luck in the universe and no special abilities whatsoever, and is considered annoying by almost everyone, somehow scores "irredeemable Mary Sue", mostly because he was plot-relevant (due to, I don't know, being a main character).

Then there was an irrelevant side character whom I knowingly created to appear as sue-istic as possible (beautiful, top student at school, gets married to a good-looking, righ guy). She scored... I think it was under 10 points, as she wasn't very relevant to the plot.

There are moments when the Litmus Test just doesn't work.

The Litmus Test needs to be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to characters outside of fanfiction. It doesn't even work all the time with that. The only thing that can determine Sue-ness is a human.
