* HumanoidAbomination: Mary Sue ''looks'' human, but her appearance, name, and backstory keep changing, and being around her entrances others so they all focus on her.

She changes her name, appearance, and origin story whenever she wants. She lusts for several men, but mostly wants Legolas. Somehow, MarySue joins the Fellowship. Among her powers, she can momentarily force others OutOfCharacter, forcing them to adore her. When they escape her influence, they reveal what they really think about her.

* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: Kielle has found the journals of several characters, and presents them as evidence of a [[SailorEarth Tenth Walker]] in the Fellowship. This is partly implausible: Merry wrote while tied up by orcs, and Bill the Pony wrote a journal despite being a speechless and illiterate horse. A past storyteller removed Mary Sue from the story, leaving only nine men in the Fellowship.
