It has just come to my attention that some people believe Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games is a Mary Sue. This is just absurd. She gets seriously messed up in those books. She spends like half a day strung out on hallucinogenic torture poison. She's not even portrayed as a good person. The book makes it clear that she's impetuous, aggressive, and antisocial, and she would never had made it if Peeta hadn't been there to help her get through interviews and appear FAR more likeable than she actually was.
She's a deeply flawed character and goes through major, personal hardship throughout the series. I don't understand how anybody could look at that and think she's a sue.
