1) human fighter type - full of contradictions (principled but easy-going, disciplined but passionate, independent but considerate, thorough but not brutal, strong but not stupid)
Hmm.

As for Mary Sue, in my opinion she is probably the worst insult one could use against a modder/mod, as it directly states that the modder built an invincible perfect fantasy wish fulfillment instead of a balanced, strong, independent character, and failed the basic precept of group storytelling: add without taking over.

And I suspect you miss a point: "Mary Sue and Imoen too" - berelinde provided a perfect, word to word characterization of a character without notable flaws - Imoen.

Sorry for being out of topic, but who this Shandra is?And yep, I am one of the people who can't stand Imoen by the vurtue of her being forced down PC's throat. But I have to say that Shandra overshadows Imoen in the 'obnoxious plot device' department, because not only she is rammed down your throat and participates every step of the way, she is also acknowledged by the TWO romantic PC's interests AND her uncle AND a random artist as exceptionally beautiful and desirable lady... er... Not to mention she goes from farmer at level 0 to fighter, level 12 in a second! And from all NPCs who were with the PC MUCH longer than her, she's the one whose opinion matters when PC is accused of mass-murder! Okay, I will have to stop Shandra's rant. But she's the latest char to scream MS to me and make me very, very, *very* annoyed.

"Tyranny is a quiet thing at first, a prim and proper lady pursing her lips and shaking her head disapprovingly, asking, well what were you doing (wearing that dress, walking home at that hour, expressing those inappropriate thoughts) anyway? It's subtle and insidious, disguised as reasonable precautions which become more and more oppressive over time, until our lives are defined by the things we must avoid. She's easy enough to agree with, after all, she's only trying to help -- and yet she's one of the most dangerous influences we face, because if she prevails, it puts the raping, robbing, axe-wielding madmen of the world in complete control. Eventually they'll barely need to wield a thing, all they'll have to do is leer menacingly and we fall all over ourselves trying to placate them." -godlizard

Nothing quite like getting saddled with somebody who makes you contemplate murder every round. And you probably can't take all her equipment and send her up against the NWN2 equivalent of Firky, can you?
