Mary Sue Quest

"Recently you found out that your real name is Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fana Bo Besca III!"

- Marisu Goldwright casually explains her real name.

Mary Sue Quest is an MSPA forum adventure by Goldwright, and is a parody and partial deconstruction of Mary Sues, detailing the day-to-day activities of one particularly egregious offender, Marisu Goldwright.

 * Alternate Character Interpretation: The fanbase theorises that Marisu is in fact a manipulative bastard.
 * Art Evolution
 * Art Shift: Sometimes a little scribbly style appears.

 * Jane looks quite a bit like Jade from Homestuck, even to the point where she wears the Bec shirt.

 * Theme Song: According to Word of God it's this.
