What the ham sandwich is a Mary Sue?
Heretic:
I'm no writer, but I thought a "Mary Sue" was a character based (at least loosely) on an idealized self-portrait by the author. Often similar background, perhaps superficially similar appearance, gets away with stuff the author wishes s/he could, etc.
Along the same lines, Mary Sue is little Miss Perfect - always has the right skill for the particular task, always knows the crucial piece of obscure lore to figure out the mystery etc.

Tom Clancy's 'Jack Ryan'
