A character with traits that would create a mary sue, which is written in such a way that those traits do not result in a fucking awful character, is NOT a mary sue.

the term mary sue is a purely negative one, and no common equivalent exists for a character with the same or similar traits who is written in such a way at not be a bad character.

On the topic of a genetic mutation resulting in lack of a soul; it could in theory be possible, but because of both the biological and philosphical implications of the soul within Remnant, that person wouldn't be a person at all.

We have seen on several occasions that people become physically fatigued as their aura depletes, meaning aura is directly connected to physical or mental energy which allows a person to function normally.

This means that a person with no aura would be constantly exhausted and frail at best, if they survived past infancy at all due to lack of ability to sustain activity. Their body would constantly weaken; muscle would not develop properly leading to breathing problems, poor muscle growth would cause a weak skeletal frame, high probability of heart failure, etc; leading up to the point of death, likely within hours or days of birth (if they even made it that far).
