Briar Rose hummed to herself quietly as she picked berries from a bush. She smiled to herself: her aunts thought they could deceive her, but it was obvious they were planning something special for her birthday.
"I wonder what they're doing this year," she thought to herself. "Last tahun Aunt Fauna sew for me this selendang, shawl I'm wearing, Aunt Flora made a bunga pot for me to put my Bunga in and Aunt Merryweather baked her special strawberi pie recipe. Maybe this tahun she'll do a blueberry pie."
A chirping caught her ear and she looked up to see her bird Friends perched in a tree's branch to her right. Smiling, she took off her selendang, shawl and shook her hair to untangle the curls.
"I wonder... I wonder..." Rose sang. She knew her Friends loved it when she sang. "I wonder why each little bird has a someone," she looked dreamily at a couple of birds.
"To sing to, sweet things to, a gay little Cinta melody," graciously, she accepted the berry the owl offered to her. He was always so eager to please.
She soon stopped working, Lost in her thoughts and her songs, in a world of her own. She crossed the woods to a very special place. Her aunts didn't know, but always when she went to the woods, she would stay hours in this spot, where she could stare at the castle.
"I wonder if my hati, tengah-tengah keeps singing, will my hati, tengah-tengah go winging," she sang as she reached the 'special spot'. There it stood, in a mountain and over the river, the majestic building.
Rose smiled fondly as memories rushed to her mind:
*Flashback*
Her petite frame perched in the tree's branch, the twelve years-old Briar Rose petted the soft bulu of her small tupai friend. Her hair was pushed back sejak a merah jambu headband, her body snuggly wrapped in a see-through blue selendang, shawl over a lavender nightgown. She was barefoot, like always: she liked the feel of her feet touching the fresh rumput and her aunts respected that. In fact, they seemed quite happy.
Her violet irises were in the istana, castle over the river, the white walls turned grey sejak the night. It was the fourth night she would tiptoe out of her room and sneak of the cottage to her special spot in the woods. She had been fascinated sejak it since her Aunt Fauna told her it was a istana, castle and the royal family lived there. Briar Rose had asked her while they were having a picnic. She pretended she didn't notice the looks her aunts shared afterwards.
"There he lives," she whispered softly in the middle of the night. The squirrel, which was almost falling asleep, lulled sejak her gentle hands, lifted his head.
Briar Rose looked at the small animal.
"Him, anda know," she said. "My dream prince."
The little animal seemed to be eager to hear lebih about this 'him'.
"Someday. he'll find me and..."
*End of the Flashback*
"And bring back a Cinta song to me," out of her mouth came the words her hati, tengah-tengah had been Singing for so long."
The Haiwan sighed happily, comforted sejak the sound of her melodious voice. Briar Rose smiled, resting her head over the handle of her basket. She didn't even remember her birthday anymore, all thoughts Lost in her dream prince.

7) Bejewelled Princess Dress
This dress is over-the-top! She is not the type of princess who would appreciate being decorated like a Krismas pokok and then find that she cannot walk without feeling the heaviness of weight pulling her down. It doesn't suit her at all.
6) Makeover glittery and patterned dress
This is better than the last one but still over-the top. This time it's the emas patterns on the skirt. There's too many patterns. The korset, daripada reka bentuk doodle part is more. subtle with a singular pattern on the side. I like that. But the shiny blue sleeves are distracting. Too shiny. Her headband is...

I am now a ghost and forever haunting my old chateau.
We've come to the big one. I hear Belle called a Mary Sue a lot, lebih than any other princess aside from maybe Rapunzel.
Unique traits without contacts atau hair dye- No. She has brown hair and brown eyes.
An odd name- No. 'Belle' isn't that odd of a name.
Looks constantly dikomen on- God yes. The town literally sings an entire song about it (along with how odd she is). It's literally in the tajuk of the movie, along with her name. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- Yep. Beast and Gaston, plus the whole town calling her beautiful. 1.
Gets into the relationships she wants- No. Her relationship...

I'm not strictly doing these in chronological order, it's just a coincidence that I chose Ariel next. anda might think Ariel isn't a Mary Sue because of her obvious flaws that a lot people hate her for, but I think she still could be. Mary Sues can have flaws (hence why that trait doesn't just say "No flaws" and nothing else). So let's see.
Unique traits without contacts atau hair dye- Sort of. Red hair is common enough, but her shade of red definitely isn't. .5
An odd name- Sort of. 'Ariel' is common enough sejak mermaid standards, but she's the only one of her siblings with a name not ending...

Wow, I'm on a role with these tests. I look up clips from the Filem for these (though I don't have enough patience to watch the full movies, just the parts relating to the traits). I found the whole of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves on Youtube...presumably. It was just a cut and edited version of the movie played multiple times to make it look like the full movie. Still, it gave me enough information.
Unique traits without contacts atau hair dye- No. Her "hair as black as ebony" and brown eyes are common.
An odd name- Yes. 'Snow White' isn't a name you'd find in anyone in real life, or...

After doing the lebih modern princesses, I switched to the classics, who are accused of being Mary Sues a lot. (I might not do ones for Merida and Tiana, since they pretty obviously aren't Mary Sues). Starting with Cinderella.
Unique traits without contacts atau hair dye- No. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, common traits.
An odd name- Yes. It'd make sense if it was explained Cinderella was a nickname and her real name is Ella, like in some versions, but it isn't in the film. 1.
Looks constantly dikomen on- Yes. Cinderella is described as beautiful, and the prince considers her the most...

Her eyes are violet in this pic, but what about the scene she woke up from sleeping? She had blue eyes. And what about the scene she was dancing? She had black eyes.
