Eh the "chosen one protagonist can't fail" trope is strong I disagree, this was my worry going into the show, that it would be too much like Rey in the new trilogy, but it wasnt like that too much. She starts off only being good at chess because of drugs, she loses a few times, suffers a lot of hardship and depression, becomes an alcoholic. And it wasnt just a believe in yourself and you cant lose! If anything thats why she lost at first, she refused to learn. After she had a few mentors and took everything she learned (plus had all her friends plan out her strategy for the final game) was she able to beat the champion. She doesnt really have any of the characteristics of a Mary Sue: she isnt unbeatable, she isnt very likeable, has a lot of character flaws, and has to actually learn things from people to get better. --- Hello world! <cite>AngelsNAirwav3s posted [p:947119723] in The Queen&...
