Nandi must be off the chart, no wonder she's dead.

I know you meant that for a joke, but I'm picturing her pulling some sort of magical girl transformation, and WOW, lemee tell you.

Yeah I was a tad surprised myself.

River though, I actually thought she would rate higher.

You're a very brave person.

New crew members are the most obvious Marysues. They're the easiest to accidentally turn into Marysues too. It's why I can't touch the series I had before New Haven. Ru and Gambit? I don't know what happened there, but it was there since the beginning (aaaannd I just tested Ru, 68, ouch), and I knew about it, but I think I was in a state of denial as it was my first FF fanfic and I usually screw the first ones up royally.

And canon River comes in at a whopping 84, at least the way I entered it.

Ouch. Joss is a genius--she's literally microns away from being a mary sue--in less capable hands, she WOULD be a mary sue. Mwah ha. CANON Mary Sue,mwah ha ha ha, the SCARIEST MARY SUE OF ALL TI-- ...ahem.

On the other hand, I was looking over some of the other characters...there are a few approching max altitude here.
But yes, that's why Nandi was dead. And why I was convinced River would die in Serenity.

Going for a ride.
