Subject: Depends on the writer and their age

I'm an odd duck because I started writing at seven, so most of my sues (everything I wrote prior to the age of sixteen, let's say,) were pretty much straight "I'mma save the world and everyone will be happy and like me!" power trips, with a little deus-angst-machina applied to the ones I wrote from eleven to fourteen.

I pretty much never shipped them with anyone, so they didn't tend to have lots of moments of powerlessness unless they were dramatically sacrificing themselves to save the world or some such. Of course, their friends or whoever had been on a side quest would turn up at the last second with a powerful healing potion and then the king would throw them a parade, after which they'd tip their inkeeper and ride off before dawn.

... Yeesh, I was a dramatic kid.
