Of course, the things that were wrong with my Mary Sue were all the added things (like cool stuff TM) that were taking away from having an actual plot and characterization, so once I dumped the merchandise and worked with her a few more years, I got a character who turned up under different names in five different unfinished stories. She's the mother of one of my main characters in this year's mystery novel, actually. (And although he's nearly unrecognizable now compared to when I was twelve, her elf prince boyfriend stuck with her all this time and is her husband & the MC's father.)

I've had those two since I was twelve or so, and I'm turning twenty two on the seventeenth, so it's safe to say that they've changed a lot. I also learned quite a bit in the intervening years.

(For bonus points, Sierra started as an Abhorsen-but-not because I didn't know fan-fiction existed at the time. At some point she returned to her origins and became a benevolent necromanceress who gives lost souls a voice so they can pass on. She also did some time as Gandalf the Grey's apprentice, under the name Yara Greencloak, and has been transplanted to at least three original worlds. :D)
