I dunno, when I think of Mary Sues this is generally what matches up with me:

She's exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas, and may possess skills that are rare or nonexistent in the canon setting. She also lacks any realistic, or at least story-relevant, character flaws — either that or her "flaws" are obviously meant to be endearing.
This is basically the exact opposite of Cecily. Girl's riddled with flaws.
