In general traits:

Nearly invulnerable/invincible

Self-insert

In a relationship with canon characters (a lot of cringe fangirls have Mary Sue OCs)

Everything hybrid (really complicated)

Sexy I guess (I don’t know sexy XD)

No real personality (due to lack of personality flaws)

If someone doesn’t like or agree with the Mary Sue, that person is evil by default

Now, there are two multiple types of Mary Sues. The two most stereotypical ones which I’ll be going over here, I’ll refer to them as “Bubblegum Sue” and “Edge Sue” for the sake of simplicity.

Bubblegum Sue common traits:

Rainbow color scheme

Neko for some reason

Unconditionally loved by everyone for no reason

“Perfect in every single way” (except as a character ironically XD)

Edge Sue common traits-

Red and black color scheme

Overly edgy and tragic backstory (abused, dead family, bullied, etc.)

Given a bunch of disabilities, disorders, mental illnesses, etc. thinking that it prevents them from being a Mary Sue. However, if those don’t actually affect the character then this fails and seems as if the author is just trying to earn cheap sympathy from the audience.

Hated by everyone for being “misunderstood”

Also, some fandoms have their own common Mary Sue traits. Most Undertale Mary Sues are skeleton OCs, Most Creepypasta Mary Sues are connected to Jeff, Most MLP Mary Sues are Alicorns (or at least unicorns with wings somehow), etc.

Now, just remember: A lot of these traits aren’t inherently bad. It depends on how they’re used.
