in my opinion is for the author to always remember that the world, whether it be original or a canon, does not revolve around the character. She doesn't have to be speshul, but if everyone acts like they would have no motivation to do anything if she wasn't there, the character is a sue all the same.
That's just the mindset I try to put myself in when trying not to write mary sues. It's a great place to start, and If you can keep it in mind while writing, sues are less likely to show up.
At least for me.
