Yeah, one [[Tastes Like Diabetes|can't help]] but [[Glurge|vomit at all this]]. Once the most common Mary Sue style story (although authors seem to be catching on now), this is also the most blatantly visible. Usually pops up in amateur fiction and especially fanfiction (where the author simply didn't know any better), it's pretty much the feminine ideals taken [[Serial Escalation]]. No doubt inspired in part by [[Princess Classic]], although she need not be an actual princess. Though it's most common and prevalent in amateur fiction, it ''has'' been making a comeback in mainstream material, due to the surging popularity of "special snowflake young woman steps in and saves everyone" young adult fiction in the wake of ''[[Twilight]]'' and ''[[The Hunger Games]]''.
 
This, along with the [[Purity Sue]] archetype, is one of the oldest forms of [[Mary Sue]], being at least [[Older Than Radio]].
