Sheesh. Could that Wiki article be any more dry? The author did an excellent job of sucking all the fun out of any secondhand humor a person might get from learning what magic smoke is.

Yes, that's the one! Amazing! Actually, I only ever saw the first list -- the rest are new to me. Wow, that takes me back. I can't help laughing as I read them. Thanks!

The only two instructions the mythical perfect devisor system would ever need:
DWIM -- Do What I Mean
and its close cousin
DWIMC -- Do What I Mean, Correctly.

Bah, Bad Seeds, Masterminds, phoey. She's going to get in and take over the Ultra Violents, setting up a pact with the Pacifists and Faction 3!

Why decide this is Jade. She can join every group on campus conflicing meeting times are no problem for her.

I am not paranoid homonyms are out to get me. Homophones, Heteronyms, Polysemes, Capitonyms and words with similar spelling it is all a vast conspiracy.

Hmmm, just re-reading this thread.
Yeah, this is going to have to change. See, the problem is, unlike most of the mutants around, Jade was friendly, yet defferential. I think that immediately made her popular, by virtue of her very rarity. (Also, I suspect that under the covers, as it were, she gains a great deal of sympathy from being frustrated in her transformation.)
The problem is, this is beginning to turn Jade into... the dreaded MARY SUE. You know. Mary Sue walks on stage, and all other characters love and admire her.
Hmmm, this is bad. Must come up with a few more girls (and guys) who think Jade is a useless, weak, whiney, little snotrag.
In light of that, I hearby solicit advice for "WHAT I HATE ABOUT JADE." Or rather, not what you the reader hate, but what other characters may find irritating, annoying, or downright obnoxious about the pre-pubescent little punk.

Jade isn't a mary sue to me Chaka or Fey is closer in my opnion. Though jade is without a doubt the official whateley woobie.
What the point of acceptance if it's not for the person I really am?

I don't think any of the Kimbas are particularly guilty of Sue-ism at the moment. If anything, the closest thing to a Mary Sue character -- subtype Jerk Sue, to be specific -- that Whateley has might just be Amelia Hartford...

even if she is only Thug-born and not Villain-born. Unless, we don't know much about Jade's Mother, perhaps she was a "Black Lotus" or some such an infamous kabuki assassin.
