The Big Test!

---

Well, here is the Mary Sue test with my characters' answers!  If I put only one answer, it means the answer is the same for all characters.  And remember, everyone here except Nyoka and Kender is from my fanfiction, not the RPG.  (Nyoka is also in my fanfiction, but with a very small role.  And he's American.  So I used the RPG version of him instead.)
