Okay, I've been giving my Naruto OC a MAJOR make-over, and I've been reading tutorials and looking at others for inspiration, and I've noticed a few things that people tend to do (including me, about some), and I mean EVERYONE does it, And they're really not hard things to avoid, but when you don't think, it all becomes a big slab of Mary-Sue cake. So here are a few tips for ya:
1) NAMES
Oh, my, God. It's anime, people! ANIME!!! Not freaking MTV! You can be working on a perfectly good character, and then
decide to name her "Sofia" and the whole thing just crumbles. Just in case you haven't noticed, there's no "Ashley's" in
