Would you be so kind to share your speculatins in a PM? [In reply to] Can't Post
I'd very much like to know what you think for I have some ideas as well. But in order to avoid speculation = spoiler contorversy PM would be better.

That said, from everything you mentiond in the post, Tauriel definitely doesn't sound like a Mary Sue because she has a place in the story. Mary Sue would be someone who is shoe-horned and doesn't need to be there for another character can do whatever she does. Recent example would be Lois Lane in Man of Steel. As a reporter, she had no business in many places throughout the movie, most glaringly obivous one being her unexplicable ride to Zod's mothership. That was such eye-roller. I don't detect such problem with the King's Guard.
