Yet another Mary Sue test. This time, it's Esmeralda. She's very similar to Belle, who scored surprisingly low. Let's see if she's as perfect on the inside as she is on the outside.
Unique traits without contacts or hair dye- Sort of. Green eyes aren't impossible in WOC, but they are more unique, and her eyes are drawn in a very striking and eye-catching way. Though it is just to justify her name. .5
An odd name- 'Esmeralda' is definitely a unique (though also very pretty) name. 1.
Looks constantly commented on- Yes. She even uses her appearance as a weapon. 1.
Always the hero- No, she has to be saved by Quasimodo a few times.
Multiple characters falling for her- Definitely. Frollo, Quasimodo, and Phoebus. 1.
Gets into the relationships she wants- No, her relationship with Phoebus definitely wasn't one of her main goals.
No flaws or any flaws addressed or called out on- Yes. Like many other DPs, Esmeralda's sassiness and feistiness is seen as cool and badass, and she doesn't have any other flaws. 2.
Seen as perfect/angelic in everyone's eyes- No, only in Quasimodo's eyes. Phoebus doesn't and Frollo definitely doesn't, and everyone else discriminates against her.
Always loved and trusted without earning it- No. Quasimodo loves her cause she's the first person to show him kindness, and Phoebus only loves her after a while.
Love and trust from closed-off characters- No. Frollo doesn't love her and objectifies her, and Quasimodo isn't really closed-off, though Phoebus does eventually fall for her.
Other characters degraded for her sake- Yes, the guards. They're portrayed as weak and incompetent to make her look cool when she escapes from them. 1.
A rival to make her look good- Yes, Frollo. While not specifically her rival, she stands up to him when standing up for Quasimodo and shows she's more noble, moral, and kind. 1.
Never fails- No. Esmeralda failed at avoiding being captured, escaping the bell tower by herself, and saving herself from Frollo.
Never injured- Nope, she was injured a few times and fell unconscious from inhaling smoke.
Always praised and rewarded without earning it- Not really. Everything Esmeralda was praised for, she earned it.
Unrealistically skilled/powerful- No. While she is able to escape the guards, she gets caught by them eventually (plus she's been training on the streets her entire life), and needs to be saved by Quasimodo at the end.
Always figures things out- Yes. She figured out how to escape from the guards, how to heal Phoebus, and gave him a map to the Festival of Fools. 1.
Kind but deadly- That's most of Esmeralda's personality. 1.
Tragic backstory- Yes. Discriminated against and objectified, lives on the streets, called a gypsy and evil. 1.
Skilled in a wide variety of things- No, only dancing and magic tricks.
Contradictory traits- No, Esmeralda's traits were pretty consistent.
Always gets what she wants- The only thing she wanted wasn't for herself, but for equality for her people, which they did get in the end. .5
Rarely shows negative emotions- No, she gets angry quite often and even sings a whole song where she's quiet and sad.
A resurrection- No, but I'm adding half a point for her waking up after falling unconscious. .5
That's 11 out of 24. Wow, the same amount as Belle. They really are similar. She does fit the biggest trait, no flaws, but she doesn't fit other traits like loved by everyone without earning it and seen as perfect by everyone. Rapunzel is still the biggest Sue. She's actually quite a big Sue, not a mild one like I said in her test (which was the first one).

Since I am trying to make the Princess Of The Month more popular, this is another one of my ideas. In the end of each month I'll post articles, based on the countdowns for songs, hairstyles and outfits. There everybody will have the chance to discuss whether they agree with the results, what corresponded to their expectations, and what they wish would have been different!
Once again, I will be using pictures for my articles. A few months back I would have made a detailed explanation about each result, but since the recent changes, Fanpop has been acting really weird. And yes, I don't like the option of writing long paragraphs with text, while the pictured are all clustered in the bottom of the article! So under each picture I will be posting one comment, related to the result. So in case you don't want your comments posted in my articles, please contact me!
Here are the results of the POTM Hairstyles Countdown: ~*Jasmine*~ (February 2013)! Enjoy and share your opinion!

In the 1950 film, when Cinderella got transformed into her gown, it was white. When she looked at her reflection in the fountain, it was blue. When they needed products for this movie, some people thought the white gown looked too much like a wedding dress, so they watched the whole movie over and over again until they came up with something. They saw Cindy's reflection in the fountain, and thought that was a good color, thus, Cinderella's dress is now considered blue.
When you feel like you're ready to go
Somewhere you've never been
Make a wish and the dream in you grows
Shinning as bright as day
