I'm sick of people calling some characters Mary Sues just because they master a skill rather quickly. Maybe Elizabeth was just inherently GOOD at swordplay and picked it up faster than most people could? It happens with sports, it happens with everything.

Plus, I think people miss that author intent plays into Mary-Sueness. If the writers were all "oh look, she picked up sword fighting so quickly because she is so super awesome love her and despair!" than yeah, maybe she's be a Sue. But I got the feeling the writers were more like "hey look, another pretty person who can look really cool swordfighting. Yay! Swordfights! Pirates! Fish people!" which does not a Sue make.
