Sorry but I have to say this. the term 'Mary Sue' is throw around WAY to much. A big point the creator was going for is to make strong female leads. Each of the mane six have both there strengths, and there weaknesses. The characters' flaws are almost too clear and in the eyes of many fans a pony's flaws are greater the their strengths. A good example being Rarity, a good character that represents her Element but fans can't see past her prissy and fashion focus.

Actually no, all ponies can have the traits of teh other Elements but just that each shows a focus to one. A big point of Mary Sue's is that they are perfect, that they do everything right, have other characters scrabbling to be their friend.

As such, the mane six are not Mary Sues.
