Mary Sue Classic is perfect. [[{{Glamour}} Everything she does is perfect and everybody knows this.]] She may or may not acknowledge this (after all, you can't be ''too'' humble), but deep down in her (perfect) mind, she's the most aware of everybody. The heroes can't seem to find any topic of conversation but how wonderful (and perfect) she is and the villains can't help but have a grudging respect and secret lust for her. In a high school setting, she's that one girl that every guy wants to date. This is pure WishFulfillment, as no real high school has such a girl, even if some are more popular than others. In real life, exclusive popularity and desirability is prevented by the fact that teenage boys are horny.

If the story doesn't end right there (after all, what else is the story going to talk about? Those other people? Who gives a crap about them?), it's always possible that Mary Sue Classic will come back as a (perfect) Guardian Angel of a character, easily capable of reforming them or saving them or whatever she's there to do. After they are reformed, she'll ascend again, perhaps after a fleeting (and [[OverlyLongGag perfect]]) kiss on the lips that ensures nobody ever forgets her. In newer variations, she's more likely to come BackFromTheDead [[IGotBetter for no adequately explained reason]].

Yeah, one [[TastesLikeDiabetes can't help]] but [[{{Glurge}} vomit at all this]]. Once the most common Mary Sue style story (although authors seem to be catching on now), this is also the most blatantly visible. Usually pops up in amateur fiction and especially fanfiction (where the author simply didn't know any better), it's pretty much the feminine ideals taken BeyondTheImpossible. No doubt inspired in part by PrincessClassic, although she need not be an actual princess.

[[SoBeautifulItsACurse She can't help but cause men to fight over her (perfect) presence]]. However, with a (perfect) word, she can convince anybody that she's too good for them and make them fall in place. She might come across as prudish at first as she resists the charms of the hero (or, perhaps, the EnsembleDarkhorse), but she'll succumb in the end. Once they're together, everybody else who was competing for her (perfect) charms will accept it because [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy they want her to be happy]]. They won't even be [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]]. Instead they can express their smittenness through CourtlyLove and swearing that they're dying to do her (perfect) bidding.
