The Biggest thing is-shes totally unneeded. Lets trim her down; even if she has some quality, shes not the highest flier that starfleet ever had; look at the peeves;
and see how it goes then.

1: This girl cant take over the fic, when she comes in she doesnt shine that much

2: We dont know her enough as it starts

3:She needs to be helped out now and then by Canon characters, by the canon miracle workers usually

4: She is moderately good looking, or has qualities that dont fit in with the ideals of feminine beauty; Say like Vixis she has 'nice muscles'(?)

5: She can die as uselessly as anyone else-and she knows it

6: She has real flaws-say she finds caring a bit hard to do.

7: Her opponents may be right. In fact she often fears they are. The man of her dreams is NON Canon, in fact her relationships have little effect on canon characters.

8: She never met the canon characters before,and they never heard of her

9: She doesnt even have the ficcers initials

10; She is lousy in bed-and that makes her grouchy.

IN simple terms; she sounds like a real interesting character. Mary Sues are so irritating because they are the embodiment of poor writing QED.
