Basically give a bio of a Sue-esque "OC" character and the person after word has to come up with a way to make them a salvageable character. Reconstruct the character as much as you have to but "kill it with fire" is not an option. (no , sorry she actually IS that bad. Don't be lazy and admit defeat!) when you reply , add your own character to fix.

Here's a starter: Esmerlda Nightengale was born to two parents who originally could not have children. They sought a powerful mage who helped them because he sensed the child would achieve greatness. Esmerelda had a good childhood until a village started settling by her parents home (her parents previously were the only settlers there) the neighbors grew to resent the girl for being better then their children so her family became outcasts and moved farther away to protect their vulnerable daughter from the torment of the cruel neighbors.

Esmerelda is very good with music and when she was young girl she found she could do magic with her music because of something granted to her by the mage's 'curing of her parents'. She was sent to an uncle who sold instruments and became his apprentice. Her flaws are being naive, having freckles which she is terribly embarrassed of, and being too sensitive.

Have at it!

That girl is magic slime monster. Her poop made the fields surrounding the village fertile. The freckles are raisins.

Esmerelda was "born" for two parents who could not have children. They sought a powerful mage who helped them create a magical child whom he then prophesied would achieve greatness! Where the entire village could hear. So the villagers watched and waited as "Esmerelda Nightengale" (dear god call her Ella please) grew up, waiting for the first signs of greatness to show up. Super intelligence? amazing beauty? great control over magic? something to bring fame and fortune to the little village?

... nope, nope, and nope. As of yet, no greatness has been achieved. But oh well, there's next year! She's bound to do something soon, right? Soon? It wasn't like they really called that mage here and the village had to put him up and show all the proper and annoying magey respect stuff (that cost MONEY) for no reason? There's got to be something SPECIAL in there?

And Ella is maybe a little bit sensitive about that.

She had a good childhood until the villagers started becoming annoyed, anyway. So why WAS everybody acting like this girl was supposedly "better" than their children, anyway? Why were they waiting for this random mageborn child to do something miraculous? Because of something some crazy old mage had said? Because Ella was... well, smart enough, pretty enough, funny enough for any other girl her age, but "all-around above average" is hardly enough to be MAGICAL and SPECIAL and as the years passed, her family moved further and further away from town in order to avoid everybody's expectant looks (especially when things like droughts happened, and everybody was looking for a miracle - ).

Anyway, Ella tossed herself into (well, more like AT) a ton of different things over the years, trying to figure out what her supposed MAGICAL TALENT was. Maybe it was her responsibility to find it? Except it turned out she was just "pretty good" at literally everything which of course wasn't good enough, not for everybody who was expecting greatness. She could fence, she could climb and run and jump and swim, she could ride! All... pretty well! But so could half the other kids her age, to varying degrees - the only thing she's ever found that's unique is that she can magically draw tiny forest animals to her or something when playing a musical instrument, and seriously, what sort of miraculous magic power is that? What real-world problem does THAT solve? It's useless!

She's still searching for her GREAT PURPOSE or whatever it is, but losing hope by the day that she'll ever find it. Life is kind of shitty when everybody expects you to be their own personal Mary Sue.

Then the love interest can be a prince who expects amazing perfect beautiful girl he can marry who he can put on a pedestal who can solve all his emotional issues for him magically! He then has to learn not to be a gigantic asshole
