(I’m annoyed because it’s forced. Also... yeah, honestly you kind of scared me before from giving criticism but since we had that discussion and you hopefully haven’t forgotten by now:

I’ll copy and paste something from TV Tropes that explains why I think Timber in this story has shown himself to be a Mary Sue:

What little personality a Mary Sue has isn't as important as how other characters react to it. No matter how shy or socially awkward Mary Sue is supposed to be, other characters will be inexplicably drawn to her. All of her ideas are brilliant, all of her jokes are funny, and all of her advice is spot-on. People will trust her implicitly, even more than they trust their families, significant others, or closest friends. Anyone who doesn't react to her this way is usually portrayed as evil or stupid. She doesn't have to do anything to deserve this treatment; she's an impossibly good person because the author says she is.

I got this from a list of Mary Sue Traits that I recommend you check out so you can check and see how many apply to Timber. Just remember that most of these traits aren’t inherently bad, but you have to use them carefully to make them good: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CommonMarySueTraits )
