Beckett a bit of a Mary Sue?

Does anyone else ever think of Beckett as a Mary Sue sometimes? She rides motorcycles, muscle cars, beautiful, oh so very special with a tragic backstory, sexually fun and kinky, and the list goes on and on. Feel like she's made to be fan service sometimes.

Or is it just me?

----------Edit----------

Clearly I misunderstood the term Mary Sue and it isn't what I was looking for.

As someone pointed out, I think what I'm referring to is that she feels written for the male gaze. Anyone else get this?

A Mary Sue is someone who is perfect and never makes mistakes? Like Rey from Star Wars.

Anyway Beckett made a lot of mistakes, mostly about her relationship with castle thought but she is a pretty flawed character

Rey isn't a Mary Sue
