No she doesn't go through being weak, it's stated her older brother thinks she's weak. In about 1-2 cutscenes she very very briefly mentions feeling insignificant compared to her brothers, and then they just ignore any development of those feelings. She continues on just yells loudly and everyone showers her with praises and she constantly gets powerups from no where, making all her achievements feel unearned.
Ok, this is some puddle-deep understanding of this story, and yes, IT IS just an opinion. Judging stories by "creative writing" standards is like judging paintings by "paint-by-numbers" standard.

And the examples from Mary-sue definition basically prove that you didn't pay attention to the story. "Inexplicably competent across all domains"- no, "gifted with unique talents and powers"- no, the only unique thing about her is really that she likes peace and wants to learn about Turali cultures, "liked or respected by most other characters"- not from beginning, which means the respect she gets is earned through her actions, not just given by default. "unrealistically free of weaknesses"- she acknowledges that she's dumb and is a hothead, "extremely attractive"- in what universe? "and generally lacking meaningful character flaws"- come on now, naivety, impulsivity and gullibility are with her from the first.

You're not making the point you think you're making here.
