A Mary Sue is not someone who is just good at something.

If Marguerit was a Mary Sue, she wouldn't have been in constant arguments with the only other survivors, if she was a Mary Sue she wouldn't be dead.

Mary Sues are immune to the plot, and have no issues or problems.

A Mary Sue would have been able to fight off the Leviathan, and escape the planet because the plot doesn't apply to them.

If you didn't notice, when they were attacked, she failed to save them leading to both the death of Paul and Herself.

She is demonstrated to be violent, reckless, and dismissive of authority. All of these flaws actually affect her character as well, unlike a Mary sue where the writers would say she has these flaws but not demonstrate them.

Overall, I think you may simply be confused on the definition of a Mary Sue. This is understandable, due to the fact that the term Mary Sue is used very loosely. Take everything I say here with a grain of salt as, seeing as the term is loose, I'm not probably 100% correct either.
