The Mary Sue Before Time by Bat-Snake on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I plan on doing a comedy LBT fanfic that revolves around an invasion of Mary Sues. So, I did a picture that introduces the character that started the idea.

"Ptyranna" is actually the VERY first version of Ptyra.
I came up with "Ptyranna" shortly after seeing LBT VII when I was 7/8 years old. Her design was pretty much that, although, I don't remember if her collar was purple or not. But she WAS indeed a time traveler and she was EXTREMELY smart (as an example, she called Cera a Triceratops)...and she had different backgrounds on her connection to Pterano...one of which took the "Junior" route...kinda...*sob* Another was that he adopted her. And the third was pretty much the same as now, but a bit more childish.
I even did crossovers with "Gargoyles", where Ptyranna was best friend's with Brooklyn's (M-preg) daughter S.F...who looked nothing like him but a lion cub with bird wings. And S.F didn't like her at first, but then there were some weird occurrences that made them become friends. Oi.
She finally changed to looking like Pterano when I was 10...but her eye shape was odd. The change to "Ptyra" was in middle school, I think.

For this Ptyranna, I decided to have some other Mary-Sue traits thrown in, like being the last of her family and having only one physical flaw, which would be the chip in her beak. As for the Time Traveling thing, she's also probably a popular singer in the future, like the Ptyra that she spoofs.

It was extremely painful coloring that character D: .

I've noticed that a lot of male characters have Mary Sues thrown at them left and right. Characters such as Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy (his Mary Sue is EXTREMELY famous), Sephiroth, multiple Sonic the Hedgehog characters, I'm guessing Spock has at some point, Brooklyn from "Gargoyles", the list goes on. Pterano seems like the type who would indeed be swarmed. And yet only I and are the only ones so far I have found to have given him a ladyfriend...and I even gave him a child. I found it interesting that Pterano was spared the horrible fate of the others, even though he DEFIANTLY has some rabid fangirl material.
