Expansion on the 'sue discussion. One or two extremely positive traits (good looks, lack of unlikable personality traits, direct affiliation with canon characters) are not a problem, it's when you start to pile them together that a mary sue is born.

I have a character who I specifically designed to sort of straddle the border between well made and gary stu, balancing out being attractive and likable with being a massive flirt,  to the point he pisses off a LOT of people.
