Chapter 1

Settings
Angelica Claudia Matilda Aurora. An ideal figure, lush breasts, bright pink lush wavy breasts, incredibly blue eyes, plump pink lips, a neat nose, in general, an ideal girl. The daughter of the king of the wizarding world, she is incredibly smart, speaks many languages, has excellent manners, has superpowers, and is the owner of a magic necklace that allows her to teleport. She always looks eighteen years old. She is the only child in the family, all attention is focused on her, she has hundreds of servants… Sound familiar? For me as well. We find such descriptions, although in a small number of works, but they are well remembered. To be honest, they really piss me off. Well, let’s start the analysis itself. 1. Often Mary has some kind of long name. An example is given at the beginning. She also likes to use some abbreviations. Matilda may be called Mati or Tilda. Yes, of course, some cuts are acceptable, but not all! Often the heroine has many invented, unfounded nicknames. Lioness, Butterfly, Goddess, did you hear? Yes, of course, a lot depends on the era and the world described. In some countries it is completely normal to have many names. But still, you can’t overdo it! It’s also annoying when Mary has a lot of friends, but her name is long, and her friend’s are short, in one word — John, Alice, Ethan. 2. Mary often has an extravagant appearance. For some worlds, where everyone walks like this, this is absolutely normal, but in ordinary worlds people like Mary got shortchanged! As described above (ideal figure, ample breasts, bright pink lush wavy breasts, incredibly blue eyes, plump pink lips, neat nose) — is this even normal? Okay, we can argue about the hair. Nowadays people never express their individuality! It often happens that the heroine can change her appearance at the click of a button. Of course, the ability is convenient, but it’s better to stick to one image, and not create thousands of equally unusual ones! What was described at the beginning of the article is just flowers! According to Jean, the description of Mary goes on for several pages. Usually in my works I describe the color and length of hair and eye color. Occasionally a figure. And Mary has hundreds of words worth of description! It’s annoying, honestly! 3. Oh, well, that’s a separate topic. The heroine comes from either an incredibly rich or incredibly poor family. There are some extremes in her description! According to the canon, she has a huge inheritance, her parents are either ideal or dead, the heroine may not work anywhere at all, but have huge incomes! In most cases, she is a hybrid of creatures, or has a huge number of exotic characters in her family! It may be the result of laboratory experiments! In general, they can’t come up with anything. Of course, in the world described, this may be normal, like all the previous ones, but then what makes her Mary? That is the question. 4. Superpowers. There are sites where hundreds of types of superpowers are listed. Choose any! But when the heroine has so many of them that she wants to be the most powerful sorceress and take over the world, then this is no longer normal. Most likely, you think the same. The heroines are also incredibly smart, speak many languages, know etiquette, and quickly master everything. Unrealistic and stupid. Conclusion: Yes, Mary is the perfect character, she has everything. We can be happy for her. Some authors can spin this idea and make it into something incredibly interesting, but most of these works are distasteful. Well, I hope my article was interesting and informative. Read my other works!
