Metric, your character scored 22 points on the Mary-Sue test, though the traits and such that your character selected were dramatically different.

Most notably, though, is all of the points that LOWERED your score!


 * Metric got points subtracted from her Mary-Sue Score because:


 * Your character, at one point, has been either cruel, lazy, naughty, etc. without any sort of reason.


 * Your character's "debeilitating phobia" (AKA vampenguin fear of tomatoes and also Demon Penguin hatred of Governance and such) does not magically disappear in times of danger where Mary-Sues would magically lose the fear.


 * Your characted successfully reconciled with her parents and did not hate them, even though they did something to her (the whole hybrid thing).


 * Your character acts as her species would traditionally dictate (Demon Penguins being evil and Vampenguin hatred of sun) instead of defying the canonical and established rules of the species and universe.


 * Your character was deemed ugly by most and is still deemed as such, they don't magically become beautiful or attractive like a Mary-Sue character would do.


 * Lastly, there was a special section of the test for vampies. This is where Metric shined above Twilight and any modern vampire tale, because she was a realistic vampire/vampenguin character.
 * Like true Vampires, your character is rather ugly. That docked huge points becaus ethat's no longer a fad in vampire tales. That's a GOOD thing, it lowered Metric's Mary-Sue-ness.
 * The other one sleected was that, like many vampires, Metric can't reproduce in a traditional fashion. Vampires normally just meet up and magically create an offspring, as was the case of the "Wizards of Waverly Place" vampire episodes, which, in themselves, were way better than Twilight. On the vampire subject, the WoWP vampires, though the daughter was pretty, had very ugly parents who were bloodthirsty and scared of garlic and pumpkins.

The site applauds those traits when discussing the undead because, for some reason, modern vampire tales somehow toss out everything canonical about vampires. I hate vampires, they do scare me even though they're absolutely fictional, but still... why wasn't the Twilight kid afraid of garlic or pumpkins or crosses or baptismal water or church grounds, why didn't he have noticable fangs, and how did he get in the sunshine? More importantly, how did he get a slight tan? Aren't vampires pale as sheets because they lack blood and sunlight? The only things they got right were the speed, strength and... -umm... err... did he even turn into a bat?! That's it, only speed and strength, and the fangs?! Fail!

Anyway, twenty two points. Metric is an excellent character by their scale! Good job!!
