A "Mary-Sue" is a character that is perfect and can do no wrong. Everything winds up happiness and daisies when it comes to a "Mary-Sue." So, many readers of Twilight consider Bella a "Mary Sue." This is because her blood is so delicious to vampires...yet Edward can resist it because he loves her so much. Terrible things threaten Bella's life...but she ALWAYS perseveres. Her life is always being threatened, but nothing happens to her. Bella has the 'perfect' relationship with her 'perfect' boyfriend...although he's a vampire and wants to kill her. Bella also is constantly demeaning her friends (to the reader), but most of them seem to stick by her. Bella is more of a parental unit than what her parents are to her. Vampires are not supposed to be able to reproduce...but Bella manages to get pregnant despite this. NOBODY important to Bella, or anybody she loves ever dies. Bella has a power even though she's human...and when she becomes a vampire...she's the one who saves the day with this power. Bella and all her vampire family will live happily ever after...they'll never die...and they'll never get older.

Now, I personally liked Twilight and have reread the series numerous times. It has its flaws, but most stories do. Although many consider Bella a Mary Sue, I stil enjoy her character and the stories. It is just fiction after all.
