Bit characters are unimportant original characters that appear for minor roles.
Many bit characters are little better than Generics. Created completely without personality, they will lapse into an unresponsive zombie-like state when the Sue (or possessed canon) is not around. Bit characters are easy to influence, since they were designed for the Sue to influence.
In Suefics[]
Bit-characters in Suefics tend to be in the following roles:
- Mary Sue's Best Friend
- Mary Sue's rival
- Mary Sue's former (often abusive or dead) lover, the guy who makes her swear to "never love another man again"
- Mary Sue's sibling, who is also pretty, but "not as pretty as Mary Sue" and ends up with a Canon Character as well.
