Okay so I'm writing a fanfic, and I need you guys to tell me whether my character is a Mary-Sue or not. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is her description:

Name: Iarsell. (Might change.)

Gender: Female.

Race: Dark Elf.

Hair Color: Black.

Eye Color: Blue-Gray.

Skin Color: Slightly darker than fair.

Clothing: A black tunic and knee-high black boots. A silver belt with silver arm and shoulder guards.

Weapon: A sword that has a black blade.

Personality: Very fierce and agressive. She rarely shows kindness, for this is almost considered a weakness in her people. She will not heisitate to slice someone for not listening or obeying her.

Intelligence Level: Average.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What do you all think? Please give me some feedback on the Mary-Sue thing. And if you have anymore questions about her, please post it!

Thankies to all,
Sarien

I'd say she isn't, and I have very little tolerance for Mary Sues, so that should say something. Obviously the way she's used in the story has some effect as well, but the basic bio seems to be safe. To be perfectly honest, I was bracing myself for the usual "Personality: Fierce, cold, impersonal, ruthless, but very tender and caring with those she loves." For me, that's an automatic Mary Sue. A character doesn't have to be completely one-sided, but the only way to achieve two such extreme sides to a personality would be bipolarity or schizophrenia. So...yeah. Thank you, thank you, thank you for not doing that. Extra brownie points from me. :D
