User blog comment:Churchpants/Do You Feel Like Carly's a Little Miss Perfect and Gets Everything?/@comment-2246006-20101229004022

Carly, more often the not, definitely fits the "Miss Perfect" stereotype. But she does have flaws, same as everyone else. She is not a Mary Sue.

I do think that she gets pretty much everything she wants. But some of that is because she works hard to get it (her grades; iCarly's success; and so on and so forth). She is often simply given it, yes, but there are some things that you have to EARN.

So although I do think that Carly does fit those titles to a degree, those characteristics are often exaggerated by members of the fandom.
