The First Tokyo Mew Mew Mary-Sue Litmus Test v. 2.0

Yeah, most generic Mary-Sue tests are pretty good for diagnosing Mew Sues, but since this fandom is so overrun with the things, I figured it was about time we got our own specific test. I’d like to give shoutouts to the First Shaman King Mary-Sue Litmus Test, which this test is based off, the Universal Mary-Sue Litmus Test which is by far the most comprehensive test I’ve ever seen, and which is encoded marvelously, too, and Vespas, who was an enormous help back on ff.net. I freely admit borrowing questions from all three sources.

Also, this test assumes that your character is a Mew Mew or alien. If she isn’t, there are two options: Either your character is a normal human, in which case they probably aren’t a Mary-Sue (although when in doubt, you may as well check anyway), or is some sort of non-Mew superpowered being, in which case they're almost certainly a Sue.

This test was last updated on 6/2/09.

How to Score:

Read through the questions one by one, keeping your OC in mind. For every question to which the answer is “yes,” put a mark on a sheet of paper or something. Most questions are worth one point, with those that aren’t being noted as such. When you’re done, tally up the points and compare your score to the “scoring system” at the bottom of the page. This is still a work in progress, so the scores may not be perfect, but I’m working on it. You'll notice that the current scoring system is rather... brutal. It's meant to be that way, to weed out any possibility of Sueism.

Be honest. If the answer to a question is “technically yes,” mark it down. If there’s any doubt in your mind about the answer, mark it down. Remember, this test is not about “winning” by getting a low score; it’s a diagnostic. And the only way it’s going to help you is if you’re brutally honest.

Also, subquestions stack. So, for instance, if your character is you, come to the TMMverse from the real world, and she already knows how the plot goes, that's three points right there.

If you have any feedback, questions, ideas for new questions, or just wanna ** me out ‘cause your character got a high score, feel free to send me a PM.

One final note: THIS TEST IS NOT INTENED TO SCORE CANON CHARACTERS. I personally think that both Ichigo and Berri (especially the latter) are Sueish, but I will not be using this test as evidence. And neither will you. Capiche?
