"Mary Sue" is generally a stand in for the author, usually
easily identified by having an unusual name, being almost
perfect in personality and looks (with maybe a couple of
token flaws), all knowing and a central character.

Most other characters love and admire/protect her and in
many stories (especially in fanfiction) the character dies a
heroic death at the end, saving the hero/world, or does the
saving without dying and "gets" the male hero.
