The Warrior of Light: Plot Device, Mary Sue or A legitamate charatcer

[CyrilLucifer]

But you could also interpret that to mean that there isn't a lore-based reason for the WoL's strengh, ergo... actually super strong for no reason beyond, because they are who they are? Isn't that almost like...

Oh, I wasn't arguing it one way or the other.

I personally don't think the WoL is a Mary Sue, but I can understand why people would think so. If anything, depending on how the story goes, I think Minfilia is definitely in danger of falling under the trope in the future (if Elidibus starts showing interest in her instead of us, that's going to be a big, big warning sign).
