An Uncanonical Relative is a common type of Mary Sue. This character claims to be related to a canon character, and thus worms her/his way into the story on the grounds that if their important family member is important, they must be, too. This is false -- it can assumed that most every canon character has parents or relations (or a creator in the case of some nonorganism characters) and they may not be important or even mentioned. Some Sues can accomplish this due to their Adaptable DNA, which allows their genetic code to change to match those of guardian figures.

abstract	An Uncanonical Relative is a common type of Mary Sue. This character claims to be related to a canon character, and thus worms her/his way into the story on the grounds that if their important family member is important, they must be, too. This is false -- it can assumed that most every canon character has parents or relations (or a creator in the case of some nonorganism characters) and they may not be important or even mentioned. Some Sues can accomplish this due to their Adaptable DNA, which allows their genetic code to change to match those of guardian figures. You can expect them to have powers similar to the canon character, or perhaps the complete opposite if they are going for a yin/yang theme, but often end up more powerful than the canon character. Expect them to look very similar, too. It is not an indication of a Mary Sue that they are a relative of a canon character, but Sues often use this quality to get closer to the canon characters: often being "like x, but opposite gender" or "like x, but better/more skilled/prettier." If the Sue is related to the canon characters in a way that could never happen (IE, the daughter of two biologically-incompatible characters or the living parent of a character with two confirmed dead parents) then this is a very important charge.
