A Mary Sue is a SIDE-character that get introduced late in the story, long after the story has been going on and hijack the already existing character's arc so that she can be the one to resolve their issues for them; killing in the process character arc and interesting development, so that it can be all about herself. making the previous main characters secondariy and only there to prop the Mary Sue. this is wha make a Mary Sue bad.
Mariner being a main-character already, It's extremely difficult to make her a Mary Sue,, as there is nothing to Hijack yet. More over, she isn't stealing the spotlight of anyone,especially as the show gear toward the progress of Boilmer.
you do not know what a Mary Sue is, you looked at a bunch of checkbox without actually understanding what a Mary Sue do to badly affect a story. You are not trying to explain why the story is bad, you are trying to stick a label to something as a "proof" the story is bad, without actually looking to see if the story is bad in the first place, or if the label really stick.
Being competent doesn't mean being a Mary Sue. Being a Mary Sue require to actually impact negatively the story.
