Drizzt do'Urden

A character from the Forgotten Realms universe, Drizzt is a Drow, or Dark Elf, who has renounced his evil ways and is now a card-carrying Good Guy who worships a sparkly unicorn goddess (no, really). His swords are named Twinkle and Icingdeath. Drizzt is a rather spectacular example of a Canon Sue, or rather, Stu.

Gary Stu Traits:


 * Speshul Purple eyes (unusual for drow)


 * Innate amazing master of all martial arts, archery, and even magic (if he pursued it)


 * A super speshul animal companion that is a large magical panther that lives on the Astral Plane


 * Magic weapons (while normal for a DnD setting) are specially tailored to fit Drizzt's visual theme


 * Horribly Tragic Backstory


 * Inexplicably pure moral sense raised in a world of evil and selfishness

Compare and contrast to other characters of The Crystal Shard -

Wulfgar, Cattie-brie and Bruenor each have a handful of magical items that they accumulate throughout the course of the books, but none of them add quite as much 'bling' as Drizzt's items do. And even though Drizzt's companions specialize in certain types of combat, Drizzt manages to outshine each of them regardless - he's better in close combat than either Wulfgar or Bruenor, and is a better archer than Cattie-brie.

Better parallels to Drizzt are Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle, who also accumulate large amounts of magical items and come close to Drizzt's skill level, but each is still not his match, and their items are not visually tailored to them (Jarlaxle is often mentioned as looking ridiculous in the sheer number of mixmatched items he sports).
