You remember Mary Poppins? Perfect in every way.
That's a Mary/Gary- Stu.
It's a fan made character that pretty much overshadows the original characters.
Let us go to Wiki for the definition:
Quote: Mary Sue (sometimes shortened simply to Sue) is a pejorative term for a fictional character who is portrayed in an overly idealized way and lacks noteworthy flaws, or has unreasonably romanticized flaws. Characters labeled Mary Sues, as well as the stories they appear in, are generally seen as wish-fulfillment fantasies of the author. The term originated in criticism of fan fiction. It usually refers to characters created by the (fan) author of the work, but can also be used in reference to characters from the original canon source who are characterized in a way perceived as Sue-like. Many original characters in play-by-post gaming are also perceived as Mary Sues (or the male equivalent). Mary Sue may be used to describe a character of any gender, but male Mary Sues may also be called "Marty Stus," "Gary Stus," "Gary Sues", or similar names. Authors of such characters (of either sex) are sometimes referred to as Suethors, a portmanteau of Sue and author. While characters are usually unintentionally written as Mary Sues, some authors deliberately create Mary Sues as a form of parody.
And here's the rest of the entry for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue
however! D: don't be daunted by it. As long as your character has weaknesses faults with some strengths and such, you're -fine-.
