All Taiga has right now is in fact Ryuji, if she gave up on him she would be totally back to the way she was before meeting him, the way she acts is against her best interest and I don't like it.
No.

A Mary Sue is a character, usually a character from fanfiction, who draws an inordinate amount of attention in the plot, (especially if they're not the main character) and is totally and utterly flawless, and is never punished for any kind of negative action, ever.

They're generally uninteresting, terrible characters, and almost always some kind of Author Avatar.
