Phantom: I've always seen that as the point of an OC for an already existing work. You make that character to put into the universe, so you can have your own little piece in the vast world of the story. It might be because I've been creating characters left and right in my head to put into stories, so it just seems natural for me to make my characters have relationships with the Canon Characters. Mary Sue, to me, has always been a character who literally wouldn't be able to exist. A flawless, perfect being who had no weaknesses and was the absolute perfect being ever in the exist of eternity. Maybe I had it wrong this whole time, or maybe it's changed over time. I'm not sure.
