Line 185:
* [[Parody Sue]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked with]] her roleplaying character Marquise Spinneret Mindfang. Named after her ancestor.
{{quote|"She is the best character, and you wish you were her. Oh wait, you are her! Your wish has been granted. Probably as a special boon for being so great at everything."}}
** Vriska's self-image is a [http://www.formspring.me/andrewhussie/q/1836318576 metafictional commentary]{{Dead link}} on the concept of a Mary Sue; she's a prettier, smarter, and stronger than everyone else (at least in her own head), she never suffers any negative consequences, and she [[Self-Insert Fic|inserts herself]] into situations to try to be the driving force behind every plot development.
*** In classic Mary Sue style, she breaks one of the setting's "rules", by being a blue-blood who's nonetheless a powerful psychic.
*** As mentioned above, she's not so much a straight Mary Sue as a [[Deconstruction]] of the idea of one. Later in the story she even delves into [[Anti-Sue]] most especially with John being okay with her mentioning her serial killer past and the fact that she ''just'' killed Tavros.
